Fans are angry after Kanye sings three songs, rants and then walks off stage

Walking out of a show without a really good reason makes you a total asshole - these people paid a bunch of money and planned probably weeks or months in advance to show up, and then you don't even have the courtesy of cancelling before the show actually starts. Should almost pay them for lost time to be honest. A refund doesn't compensate anything.
And I thought Axl Rose was bad when he was touring back in the day, holy shit.
Enormous Kanye fan, honestly one of my favorite artists, but this kind of shit is unacceptable. He's always been one of the best performers in the industry, and cutting a show short for no good reason and cancelling a whole tour really detracts from that.
Hope he's okay mentally, honestly.
People also overlooking that people who bought from scalpers (aka the majority) are pretty much fucked, and scalpers who bought off Ticketmaster just made double the profit.
Kanye West doing something crazy and attention seeking? How shocking.
[QUOTE=Blizzerd;51404636]Its just the natural Kanyesian boom and bust cycle... he says some weird shit and implodes, only to rise up more popular.[/QUOTE]
Who knew that it would actually be basic economics that enlightens us on Kanye instead of every other attempt
Dude! My buddy went to that, we was beyond excited to see him. :(
Kanye is a giant pissy baby. I worked on his LA show a couple(at least) years back. He called my dad "silverback" and me "lil white nigga." He didn't understand what was and wasn't possible with projection technology and sound equipment, and would throw temper tantrums whenever things didn't go his way.
Food was great backstage though.
His production staff is just better off investing in a holographic Kanye.
Although the problem with that is that Kanye will kill himself when the shows where he's a hologram are considered his best ever yet.
[QUOTE=wewt!;51404728]I love Kanye, the whole industry he works in is such a shit mountain that I don't see how people can get so emotionally attatched to these artists. Like "Oh noe, Kanye said he'd vote for trump? But that's not who [I]I would vote for[/I], how dare he not have the same opinion as me if I like his music" or "wowe how could these self determining individuals not get along, I can't beliv he said mean things about three people who literally dont know and wouldnt care if I lived or died!"
To me he's like the crazy guy in the corner who keeps shattering the illusion.[/QUOTE]
Guys a huckster piece of shit dude. This isn't the first time he's shit on his audience. He needs a nice ass beating as a nice healthy dose of a of reality.
I bought my ticket on Stubhub for a show that is this coming Saturday but I don't see a refund option just yet but I have read various articles that say he canceled the rest of the tour?

Sue him. Paying for services that isn't exchanged in return is commonly known as theft.

oh gosh if kanye west dies then it will be the END OF THE EARTH.

God this shit is fucking annoying. No one is defending this behavior. I am a huge Kanye fan and I think this is absolute bullshit that he pulled this. Quit with this dumb "Xd its just Kanye being Kanye" because that isn't what this is.

these things are not mutually exclusive
he's definitely not stupid though
[QUOTE=Butthurter;51409206]are we talking about the same guy that openly bragged about not voting[/QUOTE]
where did he brag that he didnt vote
i mean he said aloud that he didnt vote, that isn't bragging
[QUOTE=Butthurter;51409336]youre right, its reckless pr suicide[/QUOTE]
Oh right, because walking on stage at the Grammys and saying that Beyonce should have won instead of Taylor wasn't.
[sp]he then went on to make one of the best hip hop albums of all time[/sp]
[QUOTE=Amakir;51406912]Why nor both?[/QUOTE]
Because he's never shown the remotest hint of genius.
I really hope Kanye is ok. I knew something was wrong after all the shit this week. Hope he makes it through this man, hes had a rough enough life already
Guys a cunt, simple as.
[QUOTE=Source;51410382]Guys a cunt, simple as.[/QUOTE]
Sorry but it isnt "simple as". Hes got a long history of pretty serious mental health issues
[QUOTE=GordonZombie;51405112]He's got talent and you can see that (especially with earlier works like through the wire) but lately he's been acting rather irrationally in terms of behaviour. Is it just the pressures of the stage?[/QUOTE]
if it was something to do with the pressures of the stage, why haven't huge acts that have been touring for the last 30+ years been doing shit like this? Short of a personal or family emergency, or if there's a danger at the venue, there's no reason to cut a show short.
[QUOTE=Berman Slick;51410396]I just never understood Kanye. When I was 13 I dug his music (3 songs), but now he just seems like a self-righteous [b]Yoko Ono[/b], babbling about nonsense and trying to make the world realize how brilliant he is, then failing to do so. Like, that recent video where he just sat on the floor against a wall and screamed as the camera zoomed in.. that made no sense.[/QUOTE]
Hey there;
He actually has talent in music.

yo man that's a real shame, I hope he gets better
love u kanye
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;51410429]That really doesn't justify this kind of behaviour, if he cannot handle touring he shouldn't do it[/QUOTE]
He certainly can handle touring, hes been doing it for years and hundreds of shows, his mental health going through a seriously rough spot (also possibly dealing with thoughts of his mothers death, she died on Nov 10 a few years ago) and affecting two shows doesnt change that. He is excellent live, saying this from experience.
