Analyzing Kanye West's Song 'Famous'

Improved Essays
Is Kanye West brewing another feud with Taylor Swift? As if his nasty verse about her in his new song "Famous" is not enough, the rapper took another shot at Swift and her win for her "Bad Blood" video, saying that A$AP Rocky deserved the Grammy and not her. This is like a deja vu from VMAs 2009 where West infamously interrupted Swift in the middle of her acceptance speech because he thinks that Beyonce deserved the award more.

The 38-year-old recording artist and fashion designer is proving to everyone that he is still not done with his Twitter rants. This time though, he kind of learned his lesson by not mentioning any names, but it's still pretty clear that he was talking about the multi Grammy award winner.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday, February 24, West showed his disappointment regarding the 2016 Grammy Awards and that his friend ASAP Rocky didn't win the Best Video of the year. The award was given to Taylor for "Bad Blood."

I don't want to just fix the awards for me but I want to fix it for Dexter Navy who directed A$AP Rocky’s LSD video.

Obviously, West has some personal issues with Swift. During his appearance in LA’s 1Oak night club on February 23, HollywoodLife has obtained a video of West ranting about the 26-year-old hitmaker.

“I was like, ‘Taylor I feel like me and you might set ourselves’ … and she said, ‘Ooo, Kanye, I like that line,'” he said. “Here she was, her lawyer says something completely different. She’s not cool no more, she had two seconds to be cool and she fu**ed it up.”

Although Kim Kardashian loves her husband so much, she feels that his outbursts are just too much for her to handle and she wants him to straighten up his act.

“Kim is very concerned and frustrated,” a source revealed to Us Weekly. “She and Kanye are having big problems that are escalating. Kim has demanded that Kanye get

    Essential Criminal Law

    • 554 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Criminal thoughts are not penalized by criminal law because it is hard to determine whether or not the person is actually angry, aggravated, annoyed or is actually ready to commit a crime. The harm happens when thoughts are translated into action (Carper, McKinsey, 2008, p. 228). Someone might claim they were hurt or harmed by those words, but there is no proof to determine that. However, proof can be displayed if the individual actually commits the crime. The Government would just gain more power to invade our individual privacy, if they charged people over criminal thoughts.…
