[Article] Kanye West said Beck should have given his award to Beyonce + Beck also responds

[Dramagoddess]

Rapper Kanye West reprised his infamous stunt at Sunday night's Grammy awards, unexpectedly taking the Staples Center stage as Beck was accepting the Album of the Year award.

 

The singer-songwriter's win was the unquestioned shock of the night, as his "Morning Phase" album beat out both the night's top winner, Sam Smith, and the category's expected winner, Beyoncé. 

 

Smith, however, didn't go home empty-handed. He won four Grammys, including Best New Artist and Record of the Year. 

 

Beck, who also won Best Rock Album, seemed as surprised as the rest of the audience when he won the award and appeared to be looking around for help.

That's when West popped up on stage and moved toward Beck as if he was about to take the trophy. Instead, West turned away and quickly jumped down, but not before getting laughs from Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z.

 

However, West wasn't laughing after the show, ranting that Beyoncé should have taken the gong for her self-titled album. 

 

Appearing on the E! network's aftershow, West said, "I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more. And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyoncé.

 

"Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration," West continued. "And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place."

 

Solidifying his place as perhaps the most laid back dude in pop music, Beck said he agreed with Kanye.

"Absolutely I thought [beyonce] was going to win," he told reporters at an after party. Not only that, Beck then went on to lavish praise on his detractor.

"You can't please everybody. I still love him and think he's genius," Beck said of West. "I aspire to what he does. How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?"

[BetweenYourThighs]

I'm getting fucking tired of Kanye's personality. See, I don't care if you're a musical genius - sit your stupid, arrogant, annoying little ass down. And this Beck guy isn't making it easier for me to at least look past this, he's really a nice guy.

Becks response was great. At least someone knows how to keep their puss cute, calm, and yeast infection free.

THIS.

 

I mean I love Beyonce's voice but it doesn't mean her album is superior to Beck's album which was very enjoyable actually.

[Burkhardt]

TBT! Remember when he humiliated Taylor Swift for winning a VMA?

[vortex]

Beck is so cool.

[Grape Soda]

Kanye just fucking stop.

[masketta]

it was an obvious joke. Kanye is an entertainer, are you not entertained?

[JaynaeNicole]

He says that now...but if his rude ass was nominated for it and won...he wouldn't be standing up there like "Beyonce,this albums belongs to you..come up here girl and make that speech  "

 

he needs to sit down somewhere...
