[QUOTE]Kanye West was announced earlier this week as one of the headliners at this summer's Glastonbury music festival, but some music fans aren't happy about it. One festival-goer started a petition calling on organizers to "prevent this musical injustice" by canceling the rapper's performance. "Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world," Neil Lonsdale wrote in the Change.org petition. "We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment. Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music....he should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving!" Others apparently agreed with him. As of Thursday, the petition has gotten more than 60,000 signatures. By Friday afternoon, that number rose to nearly 90,000.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/thousands-sign-petition-to-cancel-kanye-west-glastonbury-2015-performance/"]http://www.cbsnews.com/news/thousands-sign-petition-to-cancel-kanye-west-glastonbury-2015-performance/[/URL] Sorry if this isn't news.

Kanye's presence is a present, kiss his ass.
last year metallica now kanye people are whinies
But Kanye West is probably the best artist in the entire Glastonbury lineup. His music is incredible and he deserves to headline Glastonbury.
I mean, if the majority of the attendees have no interest in his music, and they're paying loads to go, I don't think it would be unreasonable to request somebody else. They're being really elitist and dickish about it, though. [QUOTE]"Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world,"[/QUOTE] Like jesus christ.
sure kanye has a bit of an ego problem but he makes really good music, that can't be denied
Theres 3 valid opinions you can have when it comes to Kanye: 1:I dont listen to Kanye 2:I dont like him but appreciate the fact that he is a genius 3:I love him Saying he's an insult to music isnt one of those
Kanye not? I don't listen to his music often, but when I do, it's great. [sp]i'm sorry[/sp]
What kind of person actually hates Kanye
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47374562]What kind of person actually hates Kanye[/QUOTE] cultured people
I've never listened to Kanye West
But kanye west is literally one of the greatest minds of our generation
[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;47374562]What kind of person actually hates Kanye[/QUOTE] ppl wit low self esteem. true shit
[QUOTE=Chains!;47374501]But Kanye West is probably the best artist in the entire Glastonbury lineup. His music is incredible and he deserves to headline Glastonbury.[/QUOTE] These people are being pretentious, whiny dick heads, and Kanye West is a very good musician, far from being what these people suggest and worse people have headlined Glastonbury... but there are only three acts announced so far (he's probably the best one of those three granted) and, based on all previous line ups, there will be better artists than Kanye West there.
The thing that really annoys me about this is that they act like Kanye is the worst person in the world, and that no other musician ever has been a complete ass

Hahaha, "play". Kanye West doesn't "play" jack shit. :rolleyes:
it's funny how much time people put into trying to dislike kanye
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;47374751]Hahaha, "play". Kanye West doesn't "play" jack shit. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] neither do opera singers
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;47374751]Hahaha, "play". Kanye West doesn't "play" jack shit. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] the voice is an instrument also in this context 'play' means 'put on or take part in (a theatrical performance, film, or [I]concert[/I])', not to play an instrument, anyway
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;47374751]Hahaha, "play". Kanye West doesn't "play" jack shit. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] kanye produces his own songs as well you know
I can see why. Kanye produces some bad shit really.
There's like 10 fucking stages to go to. Don't go to the one Kanye is performing at if you don't want to hear Kanye.
is it just that kanye's music doesn't really fit with the type of artists there, like if neil young was at a metal concert or is it just because these people don't like him? it seems kinda funny and stupid at the same time
[QUOTE=Sableye;47374808]is it just that kanye's music doesn't really fit with the type of artists there, like if neil young was at a metal concert or is it just because these people don't like him? it seems kinda funny and stupid at the same time[/QUOTE] glastonbury is basically a pop music festival (headliners in the past include like u2, coldplay, david bowie, beyonce etc.) so kanye fits right into that
[QUOTE=Chains!;47374501]But Kanye West is probably the best artist in the entire Glastonbury lineup. His music is incredible and he deserves to headline Glastonbury.[/QUOTE] I prefer foo fighters by magnitudes, Dave Grohl is top of the line honestly. Kanye only has like 1 or two songs I enjoy and a fair number that are actually painful to listen to :v: I mean don't get me wrong Kanye's amazing for entertainment value because he's basically like Jaden Smith with an ego but I'm just not that into his music

There's also a petition to make him the ONLY performer. [url]https://www.change.org/p/glastonbury-festival-cancel-all-other-performers-and-rename-the-festival-yeezus-tour[/url]
