Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap, Pop,
How does a celebrity like Kanye West know when he's really made it? When he's been spoofed by South Park? When he's appeared on The Cleveland Show?
No -- when he's been mentioned in the same sentence as The Muppets ... or Josh Groban.
In the video above, Oscar and Grammy nominee Groban has lifted West's own words for his latest album. The Best Tweets of Kanye West rivals the Twitter-based duet -- "Tweet Tweet" -- Drake and Jimmy Kimmel collaborated on earlier this year.
After the jump, you can also see the Muppets of Sesame Street take on a NSFW version of "Monster." Now that we've seen the PBS characters singing both Lil Jon and Kanye West songs -- should we say a bright future in rap is ahead of them?

Kanye West Rants about George W. Bush, Taylor Swift
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Performances, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Warning: The video above contains explicit language.
Rapper Kanye West went on a 10-minute rant while closing a New York City show this week … and we’ve got the YouTube video to prove it.
During his tirade, West blasted the media for their representation of former President George W. Bush, and Taylor Swift for not sticking by him, Kanye West. “Taylor [Swift] never came to my defense in any interview,” he complained, saying Swift “rode the wave, and rode it and rode it!”
He also blamed the media for using him to make George W. Bush look stupid. “Look how they exploited him!” he cried. “They said that he said that it was his lowest moment,” when Kanye publicly denounced the President for not doing more in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

VIDEO: SNL’s Jason Sudeikis as George W. Bush
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
Kanye West and former President George W. Bush (played by Jay Pharoah and Jason Sudeikis, respectively) stopped by SNL’s Weekend Update desk on Saturday to talk about their newfound friendship. The skit was inspired by the real Kanye West’s decision last week to apologize to Bush for suggesting he is racist.
Sudeikis performed ably as Bush, but he’s no Will Ferrell. Pharoah’s Kanye West was pretty good, but it was begging for an auto-tune moment. The skit was one of the more enjoyable of the episode, which starred Scarlett Johansson in the hosting position.

Kanye West Cancels Today Show Concert
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Performances, Videos,
Although he's made some peace with former President George W. Bush, Kanye West now has a new target for his frustration: the Today show.
During a pre-taped interview that aired Thursday, Kanye became bothered by some video that was rolling during his chat. As Matt Lauer and West were comparing the backlash he received after the MTV Awards to the flak Bush received post-Hurricane Katrina, NBC chose to show the clip of that famous Kanye/Taylor Swift moment.
That decision caught Kanye by surprise -- and he made sure everyone knew he didn't like it. (Cue the video to the 6:30 mark.)

VIDEO: Kanye West Performs for Airline Passengers
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Whether he's on a stage or flying 15,000 feet in the air, Kanye West knows how to put on a show.
During a flight last Friday to New York from Minneapolis, the rapper took control of the closest microphone to him: the loudspeaker.
According to someone on that Delta route, West gave his fellow passengers way more than they had anticipated.
“He was like, ‘Yo, this your n***a, Kanye,’” the witness told Hollywood Life. “Then he couldn’t decide if he wanted to do the 'Good Life’ or ‘Gold Digger,’ so he was like, ‘I’ll just do a little bit of both.’ It was awesome … but I still have no idea how he got into the cockpit.”

George Bush Still Hurt by Kanye Comments, West Expresses Sympathy
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos,
Although it would be difficult for anyone to forget Hurricane Katrina, former President George W. Bush says there is one particular moment surrounding that 2005 event that still stings to this day.
In an interview to air next week on NBC, Bush calls the time Kanye West suggested he was a racist (see the video above) one of the lowest points of his presidency.
"It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business.' It's another thing to say, 'This man's a racist.' I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my presidency," he recalls to Matt Lauer.
Having endured his own public scandal since that time, a mellower Kanye expressed sympathy today in an interview with a Houston radio station. (You can listen to that chat after the jump.)
