Oh My God, You Guys, The VMAs Might Be Fixed!!!!!!!

No, really! Kanye West, who you may remember as the guy who got all upset in 2006 about Justice beating him out for one of MTV Europe’s video-related awards and then freaked out in 2007 when he didn’t win anything at the Vegas edition of the VMAs, only to come back this year to both ceremonies with new singles in tow, apparently went off on a tirade about the integrity of MTV’s various trophy-doling extravaganzas during a UK preview of 808s and Heartbreak earlier this week. The words that will shake your faith in fake awards ceremonies that are set up mainly for the purpose of propping up a lie that music is still important to a culture that thinks Heidi Montag is worth airtime after the jump.

Kanye had his rant at the launch of 808s & Heartbreak, his new album, before the first of his dazzling show at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday.

He said: “BRITNEY SPEARS over RIHANNA? Are you serious?

“I mean f****** JARED LETO? He’s my boy but he shouldn’t have won over some of those other artists.

“I won nothing last year and I’d brought out Stronger.

“Then this year, just because I was there, I won best urban act. This was L’IL WAYNE’s year.”

The best part of this story, aside from that errant apostrophe? A reference to MTV’s “academy” that decides the awards. Ahahahahaha.

I Kan not believe it [Sun]
