Kanye West won a handful of Grammy’s last night, including Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song. West sure as hell made the most of his time on the podium. In accepting the best rap album award, West spoke for nearly two full minutes, commenting on the decline of the music industry and the current state of hip hop even as the orchestra was trying to drown him out. With the word Mama shaved in his hair, he promised to make his late mother proud. “I know you wouldn’t want me to stop,” he said, addressing his mom, Donda West, who died suddenly after surgery last November. “I know you want me to be the number one artist in the world, and Mama, all I’m gonna do is keep making you proud.”
He also manage to insult the rest of the artists in his category, telling Common that he shouldn’t have released his album the same year as Lord Kanye if he expected to have a chance to win.

This guy need a reality check. He’s good, but he’s not the Saviour of hip-hop that he pretends to be.
