For those of you that missed last night's VMA awards, here's a quick recap: People won awards and people lost awards. There were two interesting things that happened during the ceremony, though... the lesser of the two involved our favorite rapper, Mr. Kanye West. Mr. West is known for his outbursts that focus on how great he is and how he was cheated out of everything in life, including the presidency of the United States... and I was one of those people that actually thought he learned his lesson when he entered the MESS (Massive Ego-Sonic Syndrome) Institute back in April with Sherman Bear (I miss that little bear). Truth of the matter is, though, that the sessions REALLY helped, and Mr. West is finally growing up and maturing! Want proof? Check out this excellent display of grow'd up-ness from last night's VMA awards [video after the jump]

    It’s amazing how awful the music business can be. I’ve come to the conclusion that there are artists out there to contribute something and there are those that exist as “filler,” like those “fillers” on albums. I know that not ALL artists can be as great as The Beatles, and I’m not saying that all artists need to be as great as The Beatles… I’m just saying that it’d be nice if artists would at least TRY. This artist that I’m looking at today doesn’t even seem to be trying… and that upsets me.
