Kanye West says people look at him 'like Hitler'

EASTNOR CASTLE DEER PARK, England (AP) - Kanye West says he feels like people look at him like Hitler.

The 34-year-old rapper known for his outbursts was the headline act at the Big Chill music festival Saturday night, where he ranted in the middle of his set about being misunderstood and underappreciated.

"I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm (expletive) insane, like I'm Hitler," he said.

"One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did."

West received light boos from the crowd as a result.

The performer also defended the music video for his song "Monster," which features cannibalism and girls hanging from their necks.

"Who saw the video before it got banned, before they took it down and before women's groups starting saying that a person that lost the most important woman in his life is now against women in some way?" asked West, referring to the 2007 death of his mother Donda West.

West, who started his set roughly 30-minutes late, apologized to the crowd for his tardiness, saying he needed to make sure his performance was great.

"Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. It's so much (expletive) going on in music right now and somebody has to make a (expletive) difference," he said.

The multiplatinum-seller is known for his outspokenness, most notably his diss toward Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where he grabbed the microphone from her as she accepted the award for best female video and said Beyonce should have won it.

In 2005 he said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" during a Hurricane Katrina telethon.

At the music festival, West talked about some of his awards show drama, saying some of his sponsorships were canceled as a result.

But West closed his show on a positive note by paying tribute to Amy Winehouse.

West, who said he met the late singer a few years ago during Paris fashion week, played snippets of Winehouse's "Tears Dry On Their Own" and "Back to Black." He said it was "beautiful" to meet the performer and that she was "amazing."

Then, in Kanye fashion, he began to rant. "Thank you for protecting your artists that are still here," he said to the crowd. "This is for McQueen, for Amy, for Michael and for all the media, can you lighten up on all your artists that are still here?" he asked, receiving a roaring cheer from the crowd and leaving the stage with his 3-man band and 20-something backup dancers.

No comparison!

Kanye West is such a complete toolbox and only a legend in his own mind. he needs to be on meds and just shut the fuk up.

Fuck him, he is a piece of shit! His perception of the world is so fucking warped that he doesn't understand that people are looking at him like a spoiled brat. That look on their face is a mix between hatred and complete disdain. It is an involuntary look. If you stick fresh shit under someone's nose, they will generally make the same face.

**Curt James** · 08-08-2011, 07:34 PM

I always liked this song by West.

But, yeah, he could definitely learn to shut the **** up.

this dude is so delusionally full of himself.....how the hell is he as important to the shaping of history as hitler was? (albeit black cloud in history)

Hitler should have been named the most influential person of the 20th century.

He single-handedly did more to influence and change the world during that century. Political correctness won out and it went to Einstein. True, nuclear bombs brought an end to WW2 and stopped the two super powers from fighting, but Hilter's choices made and destroyed entire countries, killed over 6,000,000 people, and forever changed an entire generation.

He was a mass murderer, but he was a very influential mass murderer.

You definitely have a point.

For Kanye to compare himself to Hitler is down right idiotic. I mean, he has only made an ass out of himself...um...about 10 times!

This is indeed a hot song

**adrenaline** · 08-08-2011, 09:26 PM

I already had zero respect for him before I read this post. My opinion hasn't changed and probably never will.

**Gissurjon** · 08-08-2011, 10:51 PM

Have you guys ever entertained the idea that he benefits from this stuff? Somebody close (can't remember who) to Paris Hilton said that she was far from stupid and was just cashing in on the fact that she could say "that's hot" and make millions. Every time a story like this is publish, people like us who normally pay the dude no mind, start talking about him... shit maybe one decides to see about this Kanye fellow that everybody is talking about and ends up buying his album. Only thing that's worse then being a fool is being played by one.

my buddy directed the little video that Paris did before the 2009 Presidential Election. he said she memorized the lines very easily so she isn't retarded she just lacks depth and substance.

**theCaptn'** · 08-09-2011, 06:16 AM

Who cares what the nigger says, his album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a masterpiece

Like any artist or actor, their opinions are worthless. They should all STFU and stick to their craft.

Paris played the crap out of people and made allot of money doing it. Kanye is doing the same thing playing the villain. If people feed into his BS, they are really the dumb ones

I never thought Paris Hilton was stupid, she played a part and had a lot of success with it.

Trying to market himself as a misunderstood artiste is emo gay....

**IronAddict** · 08-09-2011, 02:09 PM

" My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ", huh!

That sounds about right, brotha! How you became famous I'll never know, cause you can't sing. I'll never understand how people like/buy your music.
