    “Oh yeah, we’re gonna have a good time tonight,” he said, before “All of the Lights” and “Good Life,” but his mic cut out. He seemed pissed, throwing the mic high in the air like a shot put and storming out without so much as a “goodbye” or “thank you.”
    Officials are blaming a "technical error."





    here's part of the performance

    I thought this was just Kanye's go-to move to add dramatic effect. Like typical rockstars and s--- that swing a guitar over their head and smash it on the floor.

    If it's just Kanye being mad, well I can kinda understand. The only things in life that piss me off are small things. Things so small, you'd have to be some kind of monumental r----- to f--- it up.
    An example, someone finishes a can of coke and puts the empty can on the floor of my room. Like, mother f---er you are capable of bringing that s--- in here and drinking it, you are capable of putting it in the bin you useless c----.

    Like if a team of what I would assume to be around 300 members can set up a stage,lighting,sound,effects,props,stage effects etc etc and something that big too, they should be able to get a mic that works fine for a few hours. Maybe more than 1 in case it f---s out.

    You also gotta remember Kanye is going up in front of thousands of people, if he makes a mistake that's embarrassing for him. But if his mic cuts out and he can't perform, he's just standing there doing nothing and feeling awkward. I don't understand why someone wasn't like "oh s---, his mic is f---ing out, go run this new one up to him"

    Performing at this place is Kanye's job right? He's done it before, done it a lot of times and it's his job. All I'm saying is, if i turned up to work one day and my tools weren't working correctly due to an error from someone else, which also meant I could not continue working on that day, I'd throw my tools and go the f--- home in a s--- mood to. I am a c----.

    Nah. You're interpreting me wrong. (you're probably a bigger Kanye fan than me, honestly). If you changed the situation to;

    One day I go to work as a carpenter, the job is to finish sanding the walls of the house. I got to pick up the sander and start sanding, but after a few minutes I realize some dumb f--- apprentice has cut the cord. It would be at this point, i throw the sander half way across the job site and storm off to my car to drive home in a s--- mood as i can no longer finish the job. I'm just saying, I have a short temper when it comes to people being careless and would react similarly to Kanye if put in a similar situation. I could be wrong, but I mean, how hard is it to organize a microphone that works for an entire performance?

    I get what you're saying, I just don't understand how that would make me a c---- rude person? I'm not yelling at the apprentice who f----- up, i'm annoyed with him, but that's it. All i'd be doing in that hypothetical scenario is getting furious because I have a short temper, then taking it out on a broken sander?

    in regards to the underlined part, as angry as I do get IRL (which isn't often), i'd never judge someone like that off a single instance.

    Kanye, should have been an adult about it and been like 'hey, I'm performing...the mic is going out on me' back stage and I'm sure it would've been fixed. Drake fell onstage during an performance. That's embarrassing too, but he stood up and continued right where he left off. Storming off like that was not the answer to the issue

    Kanye's temper-tantrums can be understandable, but never defended.

    I am a huge Kanye fan but I always said he is a f---ing a------ sometimes. @CoCo I like your rant and I agree but still doesn't make it right what he did, especially if fans paid good money to see him, like @Koolo said

    Nah don't worry about it. Honestly, it's a hypothetical situation transcribed into a post on sxn80. It's gonna be hard and confusing for us to interpret each other properly. The bottom line is that, sometimes people lose their composure and do get angry. doesn't mean they're a c----. I'm just trying to show a bit of understanding instead of straight up dismissing someone I have never actually had a conversation with a c----, over a single situation.


    I get what you're saying, but, at the same time I'd believe the burden to apologize is the people who were accommodating Kanye. Yeah, Kanye gets paid to be there etc, but he's not in charge of anything. He just goes, uses their (the company/organizers) equipment and does his thing. If they can't get THEIR equipment to work for Kanye, then why is it his fault if the mic given to him f---s up? Kanye should've addressed the situation, yeah, but whoever was backstage should have come out like "oh we're so sorry WE are having technical difficulties"
