Or this could be the problem with hip-hop today...

Kanye West had an outburst backstage at the VMA's.

I like Kanye. He's from the Chi...(that would be Chicago for all of you who are unawares)

But, doesn't he make enough money? I know he is a male and males typically need encouragement/vindication that what they are doing is the right thing. But, does he really need an award from the same network (Viacom) that produces such shows as "The Hills" and 3 different types of shows based on Flavor Flav?
Yes, I realize a lot of his fan base probably watches those shows, but it doesn't mean he has to acknowledge that.

I know, its all for the hype. Tomorrow is the big day. I still expect everyone to buy Kanye's CD and hide 50 Cent's CDs in different parts of the store so other people can't find it to buy...
