Kayne Sucks!

Being a long time hip hop music aficionado, I have never enjoyed Kayne West's music or understood his rise to mainstream super stardom.

I thought his beats were OK and his lyrical flow was just average at best. Kayne's spit was nowhere near Nas, Tupac, Gift of Gab, Biggie, Slim Shady, Qtip, on and on.

Even though I agreed with his infamous George W Bush comment, I thought his ego was out of control and the video of his MTV awards meltdown was ridiculous.

Kayne's back in the news and it is not good.

Kanye West's late night performance at Bonnaroo was delayed nearly two hours, angering the festival crowd who responded by chanting "Kanye sucks" and pelting the empty stage with glow sticks.

West had been scheduled to take the main stage at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival at 2:45 a.m. Sunday morning. While the sleepy thousands in the audience waited, a message on the jumbotrons told them West's show would be delayed until 3:15 a.m., and when that didn't happen, that he would start at 3:30. West didn't hit the stage until 4:25 a.m.

I guess Pearl Jam played late and Kayne's crew took over a hour to put on his elaborate stage set up. Trust Me, do not piss off angry spun out hippies. Before you feel bad for Kayne, he blew off the original Roo time so he could go to some birthday party in Atlanta that night.

West had originally been slated to perform at 8:15 p.m. Saturday night, but requested a late night performance. At least in the first hour of his performance, West didn't address the crowd regarding the delay.

Later Sunday, the Bonnaroo crowd was still upset. Pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph criticized West for disappointing his fans. His comments inspired a "Kanye sucks" chant.

Good to see my dawg RR call out this BS fan treatment and plus, RR knows what real fans butter his bread and how you keep them coming back.

Kayne responded to the controversy by posting this long rant on a fan blog. Regardless if it is really him or not, it is damn entertaining.

Here is a comment from a fan who was actually in the crowd and saying he is pissed would be an understatement.

Well, maybe if you would've downplayed your fancy fn stage, you could've made your time slot! Don't tell me every band at Bonnaroo can follow one after the other, with only an hour or less to switch out gear, and you, best-fn-artist-in-the-world-Kanye, couldn't make it happen.

I was there, I was waiting for your fancy ass in the cold until sunrise, I missed Phil and Sigur Ros waiting to see what all the hype was about. And you know what Kanye, it sucked! Your music sucked! Your dancing sucked! Your attitude sucked! Your fancy fn light show sucked!

But I'm not just mad at you Kanye, I'm mad at myself for being so stupid to think some hyped-up MTV hero could top anything else at Bonnaroo. And I'm super freaking pissed at Bonnaroo for giving you so my hype, teasing us all night with "Kanye will start at 3:15...Kanye will start at 3:30..." and holding our tired, cold asses there.

Kanye, you tried and you failed! You had the opportunity to turn 80,000 people onto your hyped-up bullshit, and you failed! Don't blame us for hating on your shitty show! Blame yourself and that disgusting ego!

I expect to see F U Kayne shirts in the mall and online in no time. Awesome.
