Kanye's Rant - One That Didn't Make The Cut

kayne-magazine_cover.jpgThe Ego has landed, but for once some of his words have not. Kanye West's version of "Storytellers" on VH1 will air tomorrow (Saturday) but the network chose to cut some of his more controversial rants from the broadcast due to "time constraints." "Storytellers" is a format in which the artist has the opportunity to perform in a more intimate setting. Most take the time to connect with fans. Kanye, as usual, chose to share more than enough about himself. Some of the things you won't hear? He considers Radiohead one of his true and only creative rivals. He was hurt when Thom Yorke allegedly snubbed him backstage at the recent Grammy event, so when the band played he "sat the fuck down." Other gems revealed that West believes we should give Chris Brown "a break" and that OJ Simpson was "really good at what he did, when he did it" (presuming he means football here and not murder). The program, normally an hour long, was expanded to 90 minutes - cut down from the 3 hours Kanye spent on stage.
