damn, kanye, never figured you for such a whiner. but sorry, champ, she made a better album; she deserved the award more than you did.

what happened?

"Country singer Gretchen Wilson won the best new artist, beating out innovative rap newcomer Kanye West and the band Maroon 5. Wilson lost to Reba McEntire in the category for top female country artist.

Backstage, West vented his disappointment over being shut out in all of his three nominations. "I feel I was definitely robbed ... I was the best new artist this year," West said. "I don't know if I'll be back at this award show next year.""

kanye's dorkiness is really getting annoying. who gives a flying fuck about the American Music Awards?

West said "I don't know if I'll be back at this award show next year."

Yeah, I'd guess probably not.
(no hate, 'Dropout' is great but he's unlikely to repeat with that strength)

Glad it's still all about Jesus for Kanye.

I thought the AMA was based on record sales? Sales are sales Kanye.

Two words on the way this one played out: "Hell, yeah!"

He really should've one, though.

errr, won.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Monday, 15 November 2004 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

And, really, she's NEWER. It may be his debut album, but he's been around for a while.

i think the AMA is based on a telephone survey of "record buyers" so i think it's essentially just based on name recognition

i think Gretchen will have a much longer and more satisfying career, so I guess I can understand Kanye's sense of urgency.

I assuming you're hitting the crackpipe real hard in tribute to ODB?

Kanye's pissed because Wilson's rap on "Chariot" smokes anything on his entire album.
