i did not type any of the things said below but i do completely agree to what she is saying.

Matt Lauer, my new hero!

Thank you for making Kanye West feel accountable for his actions.

I almost threw up on minute 4:50

I love this interview.

Your new hero? Lauer? foolishness. He did a job. He added verbiage some of which Kanye wasn’t trying to admit to at all. Ye isn’t right in most of the odd publicity he somehow gets himself into by being outspoken and obnoxious at times, but then that’s what makes him Kanye. Love him or hate him… doesn’t matter. In my case I’m indifferent and a lot of his music I enjoy.

I like Ye’s honesty in the interview when he said no one actually feels good calling someone a name and being looked at as a hero at that time- because when he looked back on it it didn’t feel so good… and I also like the fact that although Beyonce had a shocked look on her face as the camera rolled to her during Ye’s interruption- but it was still glee and happiness on her face—-he was still giving her a compliment albeit fair or not, everybody is human. Even though he had an ignorant response he was entitled to his opinion, just not in that way or platform. That is what I think he was if any bit “owning up to” in this interview for both situations.

I don’t think he felt entirely accountable much at all. Replay it, he felt emotional, he felt embarrassed, but what he said he was sorry for wasn’t that Bush incident— it was that he was sorry he said something he didn’t have the grounds to speak on necessarily… an actual “I’m sorry” to former President Bush never came out of his mouth— only Lauer’s. He was sorry for making the mistakes in his own actions, and that those were the emotions that he felt at that time.

Also I enjoyed that at 6:16 KAYNE’s name was spelled incorrectly!!! HA! And for the record even though it’s “protocol” to play the tape in the background with the sound- that is a rude and disrupting and everyone knows it’s rude to have background anything while someone is talking. Most people just don’t speak on it. Kanye said “I’m hearing it while I’m trying to talk,” Lauer said “Just pick up,” this is just a classic look at how things are done. 

And as for Bush; it isn’t the blame for Kanye’s racist comment or the fact that Kanye called out something true or untrue pertaining to Bush’s fails during presidency that Bush should get emotional about. But obviously people get upset with what hits the core, so now Bush your “emotional response” makes me think even less of you… and that it could quite possibly BE true. 

And additionally more importantly for Bush— Gazillions of people died during your presidency in many wars for many reasons and Ye’s comment about you being a racist president was what you coined as one of the most disgusting moments of your presidency??? That’s a new low for you Bush. Sorry. That’s the part where Bush got the most emotional? Gosh, these egos and feelings. Be bigger, be better. Now that was disgusting.
