Video: Obama calling Kanye a jackass

In the previous post, we had audio of President Obama calling Kanye West a jackass during an off the record statement. This is further proof that the environment was indeed a relaxed one. Let's cut the president some slack indeed. Still priceless though.

You KNOW things are bad when President Obama chimes in and calls you a jackass

That's right, the world's favourite American has given his two cents on the Kanye West VMA rant where he embarrassed 19-year-old Taylor Swift. Check the audio below.


What has Kanye West done? Can Mr. West come back from this? His chances ain't lookin' good at all. To be fair to

President Obama, this should never have been released, not just because it was an off the record statement, but also

because he was clearly in a relaxed environment - not a professional one. I hope that people don't take this too seriously

and start jumping on his back.


If the YouTube player (above) fails to work, go to TMZ for another link to the audio. In TMZ we trust lol.

Do you believe Kanye?



After his douche-worthy outburst at the VMAs on Sunday night, Kanye West took to Jay Leno's show last night to apologize. Although the apology wasn't planned, he let Jay Leno know that he wanted to talk before he performed "Run This Town" with Jay-Z and Rihanna. (See the VMA outburst below.)


I must admit, he looked and sounded sincere especially when Leno asked him what his mother would have said if she were alive. Let's see if this incident will relieve Kanye of a chunk of his big ego. Bad pun intended.

Artist Spotlight: Drake



Who would’ve thought that “Wheelchair Jimmy” from Degrassi: The Next Generation would become one of the most sought after rappers in the game today? Christened Aubrey Drake Graham, but professionally known as Drake, the 22 year-old is the total package; he can rap and he can sing, and yes ladies, he’s very easy on the eyes. Despite his reported fling with Rihanna, word is that he has a thing for the older ladies.

What is so special about Drake is that he managed to generate considerable buzz – without the aid of a record label, and had industry heavy hitters like Lil' Wayne, Kanye West and Jay-Z all vying for an opportunity to work with him. His hit single “Best I Ever Had” was arguably the best song of summer 2009. Between June and July, the track sold 600,000 digital downloads and topped three separate pop charts.

Currently signed to Lil Wayne’s management Hip Hop Since 1978, he was involved in major bidding wars with Universal Motown, Warner Music Group, and Atlantic Records. He eventually signed a lucrative record deal with Aspire/Young Money/Cash Money Records in June and took home a hefty $2 million advance.

Despite his mother being an educator, Drake never graduated from high school. However, he showed determination despite adversity from very early in his career, and perhaps that is the reason why he is as successful as he is today. With no backing whatsoever, he released his first mixtape back in 2006, appropriately titled “Room for improvement.” This was succeeded by his other mixtapes “Comeback Season” and “So Far Gone.” His debut album “Thank Me Later” is expected to be released next February.

Kanyeeee! No you didn't!

Way to ruin Taylor Swift's big night at the VMA awards.

When Taylor was on stage making her acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video award, Kanye ran out onto the stage and took the microphone from her to give a shout-out to Beyonce, one of the other nominees.

"Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish," Kanye told an obviously stunned Taylor. "But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time ... one of the best videos of all time!"

The camera showed a stunned Beyonce in the audience, mouth open in disbelief at what she was seeing. And poor Taylor stood by speechless before some in the audience began to boo Kanye as he left the stage.

Kanye why would you do that? Yes Beyonce had a great video but Taylor Swift is a young'in in the industry. Beyonce has won soooo many awards and losing this award would not have done anything to her or her confidence. To embarrass someone infront of the whole world is ridiculous. I love Taylor Swift and she had a beautiful video. You GOOO Taylor Swift!


This is a video of Kanye's selfish outburst. There is no recovering from this one Kanye - you are officially a jackass.
