I cannot STAND this man.

Kanye West has been charged with three criminal misdemeanours in relation to a camera-smashing incident at LAX Airport.

The rapper has been charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft after he allegedly broke a camera light last September, TMZ reports.

West's manager Don Crowley has also been charged with two counts of vandalism, two counts of battery and two counts of grand theft after he was accused of breaking a still camera and another belonging to the website.

Both men are due in court to face the charges on April 14 and could face a jail sentence for the offences.

The paps probably had it coming

He also hit a papparazzi photog' near my home in Newcastle and this really amazing nightclub called the Tup Tup Palace. Lady GaGa was there a little while ago.

Kanye the Criminal.

YAAAAAAY!! :cheer2:

Kanye is a fool.

See You In My Nightmares has been cancelled, Amazing is still being released. No video released as of yet.

"Ya'll motherf---ers are smiling. Ya'll enjoyed yourself. Ain't nobody got shot tonight."

That was Kanye West, onstage Saturday night at the Levi's Fader Fort, lashing out at his detractors (or, as he put it, "the motherf---ers who want to f--- with" him), a large and seemingly ever-growing contingent that, on this weekend, included those who didn't believe he should have been at South by Southwest, even if it was to host a showcase for his label, G.O.O.D. Music.

Those purists -- the South By vets who remember the good old days, when bands came to Austin looking for that elusive record deal, and when every event wasn't sponsored by a mobile device -- were probably going out of their heads on Saturday, 24 hours dominated by globally successful rapper/producers, celebrity bloggers and toothsome TV chefs. It was SXSW gone Hollywood -- parties by Rachael Ray and Perez Hilton, even rumored Robert Pattinson sightings -- and, to be honest, West's showcase should've been the least of their worries.

Because it was, in essence, just a decent 90-minute Kanye concert, albeit one bereft of sexy holograms and smoky moonscapes. His appearance was perhaps the second worst-kept secret of the entire week (Metallica's Friday night show at Stubb's takes top honors in that category), and hours before the G.O.O.D. showcase's scheduled 8 p.m. start time, the line of SXSW badge-holders looking to get in stretched the entire length of the Fader Fort.



Of course, those folks would be waiting a long time. West didn't take the stage until it was nearly 10 p.m., but when he finally did -- decked out in a denim vest, dark shades on his face -- he more than made up for the delay. Backed by the usual assortment of characters (a pair of DJs, a guitarist and drummer in riot gear, a female backup singer with shoulder pads like the Legion of Doom), he ripped through a few verses of "Amazing," welcomed fans to the future and then slipped into his primary role of the evening: Emcee.

And not of the rapping variety.

Because for the next hour, 'Ye played hypeman to a string of G.O.O.D. artists -- Consequence, GLC, Big Sean -- spitting a verse here or there, urging the crowd to throw their hands in the air, etc. It wasn't the West most were expecting, and during some of the, uh, lesser moments (the Fonzworth Bentley step routine, a cringe-worthy set by British crooner Mr. Hudson), they made their displeasure known by streaming toward the exits. But then Kanye, ever the showman, would lure them back with snippets of his own tunes, like "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" or "Crack Music."

That's not to say there weren't some genuinely excellent moments, though. West traded verses with up-and-comers 88 Keys ("Stay Up (Viagra)") and Kid Cudi ("Welcome to Heartbreak") and shared a genuinely jaw-dropping freestyle session with Common and Eryah Badu(!). And when welcomed the entire G.O.O.D. roster onto the stage for the one-two punch of "Good Life" and "Love Lockdown," he had the entire crowd going bananas (even if he did flub a line or two because he "got too excited"). He shouted out each member of his roster as the applause built, then moved on to the evening's sponsors, taking special care to instruct Levi's to "cut the check."

Hey, at least he's honest. And somewhere, a SXSW loyalist's head spontaneously combusted.

But their nightmare was far from over. As if dealing with Rachael Ray's second-annual South By soiree (sets by the Hold Steady and the Thermals, delicious themed beverages) wasn't enough, they had put up with Perez Hilton, who was back in town for his "One Night in Austin" party.

Held in the same supermarket-turned-mega club that Jane's Addiction destroyed on Thursday, Hilton's party had a "Divas" theme, featuring sets by Little Boots and Ladyhawke (Lady Sovereign was a no-show, which led Hilton to call her a "c--t" live onstage), plus a surprise appearance by the Indigo Girls. Seriously.

Hilton himself wore a replica of Aretha Franklin's inauguration hat and seemed genuinely nonplussed by the fact that his party was in direct competition with West's.

Of course, that point proved moot when West popped in for a quick five-song performance, to the squealed delight of all in attendance.

And then, having fused their powers to become some sort of celebrified Voltron, Kanyez then set out to destroy all vestiges of this once very un-celeb event. Or usher it into the future. Depends on your point of view.

Just to let you guys know
Love Lockdown and another song featuring Kanye were added in the GTA IV DLC

It seems he is their new favourite as Flashing Lights was in the original :dazzler:

Maybe they will leave kanye in jail if he gets put in.

How can we say this nicely? Kanye West can be a wee bit of a control freak. It's not really a secret, though; the producer and rapper has spoken out in the past about the lengths to which he goes to create his art — whether it's mixing songs over and over again or tediously planning out his Glow in the Dark spectacular. The result of his passion, however, usually leads to universally amazing work.

But how does it feel when West brings you into his highly detailed world? The 808s & Heartbreak rapper graces the cover of the April/May issue of Complex, and Editor in Chief Noah Callahan-Bever said West was heavily involved in the layout. 'Ye appears as a computer-generated image in the spread, as opposed to participating in a traditional photo shoot. The high-tech concept was his idea, which he delivered during an unexpected time.


"Kanye called me at, like, 7:45 in the morning on a Sunday with the idea," Callahan-Bever told MTV News last week about the genesis of the concept. "Two days later, he calls back and says him and [director] Chris Milk are gonna do the illest sh-- ever. And he said he'd send me the pictures. He ends up sending me pictures of him in this 3-D scanning chamber. He's in this sphere with a million cameras on him. He got with the studio that did the CGI work on 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.' They never did a still shoot in this imaging before. So Kanye is telling me how they scanned him to have his likeness and are putting him in this computer world. I mean, what could I say? I was like, 'Uh, OK.' "

The rapper was originally scheduled to appear in the February/March issue of the magazine. The photo shoot took place during a layover as West made his way from Germany to New Zealand.

"It was very rushed," Callahan-Bever admitted. "He was tired. This was right after Thanksgiving. We ended up bumping the cover, and he said he'd do a new shoot for us when he was off his tour schedule."

Two months later, the rapper offered his time, energy and even his own director for the new shoot. Milk has helmed the West videos "All Falls Down," "Touch the Sky" and a version of "Jesus Walks." 'Ye brought him onboard to carry out the plan and praised his collaborator's vision.

"He's really dedicated to his work and pulling out really great art," West told Complex in a behind-the-scenes video clip. "He doesn't get caught up in any of the Hollywood-ness of it."

Complex magazine's seventh-anniversary issue is set to arrive on newsstands this week.

Kanye West has claimed he is the most intelligent rapper in the world. The 31-year-old star refuses get drawn into hip-hop feuds because he believes he would outwit all of his chart rivals. In an interview with Complex magazine, he said: "I feel like if a rapper disses me, they're just trying to get a rise out of me and get me to play in their field to find some way that they can beat me. I feel like there are a lot of rappers that can beat me in ignorance. So why would I play a sport that I'm not particularly trying to get better at or beaten in? There's a lot of rappers that can beat me in ignorance, but there's only a few that can play with true intellect."

We can only hope. :bored:
