Yeah Kanye Didn't owe anyone an apology and I think he was leaning towards that during the interview but the way Lauer painted the picture, he made it seem that Bush didn't deserve to be called a racist. I think Kanye was going to say "sorry, I said that because I felt strongly about it. But what I said still stands". I think Ye felt very uneasy because, lets face it, Matt Lauer can be a real D-Bag to certain artist. So when they played the clip he felt like he was being attacked, I understand that. I'm sure he wants to put September 14, 2009 behind him.

Randy Mercer	Oh yeah and I'm currently beefing with Lil Wayne for not responding to that fan letter I never sent him while he was in prison.

enigmAtic And ecstAtic (joshL)	Come on Nathan S., how is the Fiddy collabo a fail. That shit was awesome on every level. This belongs in a weekly series called success' of the week.

E. Jaffe	Believe it or not, that video made me a 50 fan for the first time in years; definitely not a fail of the week. Mr. Cent may not be releasing any great music as of late, but the man's fucking hilarious.

Nathan S.	^ We're actually in complete agreement. As I wrote, it's a fail in terms of his street cred, but; "On the other hand, if you don’t take it too seriously it is pretty hilarious, and it was probably one of the greatest days of this kid’s life. "

Young Mo Fo	One more you might be able to add is that Jay Electronica signed to RocNation in a week, after Diddy has been trying to sign him for months. #fail

The Crack Emcee

Wow. Just wow. George Bush "was directly or indirectly responsible for the death of thousands of people following Hurricane Katrina"? By what logic?

Residents had been told to evacuate - many didn't? Was that Bush's fault?

The mayor locked himself in a hotel room, contacted a radio station, and cried. Was that Bush's fault?

The governor didn't allow the Feds to move in because (and this is rich) she didn't want to give the impression she - a feminist - was being pushed around by a bunch of men. Was that Bush's fault?

The liberal media lied every step of the way, to make another (bogus) case that Bush was incompetent, allowing rapes and murder to occur with no response - none of it true. Was that Bush's fault?

You guys seem to have bought it - hook, line & sinker. Is that Bush's fault?

Here's Bush's take on the whole thing.

And here's mine.

Who am I? I Am The Crack Emcee.

The Crack Emcee	Oh - and I forgot: New Orleans had been given money, for decades, to fix the levies but they squandered it elsewhere, long before Katrina hit. Was the Bush's fault?
