Kanye West is a d-bag for 34 minutes in his new music video - watch now

Oh Kanye.  If there's any way to convince people you're not a self-obsessed narcissist concerned only with excess, it's making a 34-minute "film" to accompany your new track complete with giant explosions, fireworks displays and lingerie models trying VERY HARD to act.

We highly doubt a great many of you have 34 minutes (and not an "extended episode of 'Friends' 34 minutes," either - a long, tedious 34 minutes that makes you feel as though you were born watching this screen, and will someday die doing the same) to sit around and watch Kanye stroke his own ego, so here is a nice capsule summary of 'Runaway:'

          Everything starts with big red letters that say 'Runaway' and right off we know that this was all very pricey because it has a proper title. Then Kanye West does some things and then a woman in weird lingerie that makes it look like she's naked does some things and then Kanye West and the not-naked woman do some things together.  People eat and some other people dance and then a deer eats and the not-naked woman grows feathers and turns into a bird.  Kanye West becomes a 'Runaway' (see what he did there) and the not-naked bird woman flies into the sky and then big red letters say 'Runaway' again in case you forgot what you were watching because it has all been going on for so very, very long.

In sum:

The good:
1.  It looks as though it cost more than the entire GDP of Namibia
2.  There is a deer in it for no reason
3.  It says the title at the beginning like a normal thing but then ALSO AT THE END

The bad:
1.  Everything else.

Does anyone else wish the new Kanye West track 'Power' was terrible? Listen now!

Kanye's been flying a bit low lately, after something apparently happened at some awards show.  Not one to rest on his laurels, however, he used that 'time off' to record some music, and to all you 'hAtErZz' out there (ScopiSat included) we are sorry to say it's actually quite good.  It's very 'Jesus Walks,' and serves as a nice reminder that behind the ridiculous ego there lies some very real talent. 



The album 'Good Ass Job' is out in September and boasts some of the finest talent in music today.

Kanye West Apology Generator (Create Your Own Kanye Apology)


This has to be one of the best things to come of the internet since we were told to leave Britney alone. It is timely. It is on the nose. It is harsh but deserved. It is AMAZING. Click here to create your own all-caps, half gibberish, overly punctuated apology with the help of some mad-libs style text entry boxes.

Literally amazing.

So lets all talk about celebrity Kanye reactions



ScopiSat hates Kanye West. Not the music, but the man. Pride, bravado, etc is all well and good but christ...
Well Last night the man was in action again, as I'm sure you've all heard or have seen. He grabbed the mic during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to express his dissatisfaction with Taylor winning over Beyonce. Pure class, right?

Kanye was kicked out of the VMAs after his outburst, and the always dignified Beyonce later forfeited her acceptance speech to allow Taylor the chance to speak...

anyway, we have nothing really new to add to the discussion, so instead we're going to take a look at some of the reactions to Mr. West's little speech:

Pink: Kanye West is the biggest shit on Earth. Quote me.

Katy Perry: Fuck you, Kanye. It's like you stepped on a kitten.

Kelly Clarkson: Dear Kanye, what happened to you as a child? Did you not get hugged enough?

Kellie Pickler: Kanye grow some fucking balls, bitch

And perhaps the best so far, a comforting reassurance from Spencer Pratt: Let's be very clear - King Spencer would never do anything like what Kanye just did to a sweet soul like Taylor


Amazing.

Chart Chat UK: September 6, 2009


The 'epic chart battle' of the week is over, and it's 1776 all over again. The American Jay-z (and Rihanna and Kanye West) track reigns supreme over Brit girls Sugababes who are relegated to number 2 with the first single off their upcoming album. To be fair, the 'babes never really had a chance against such a pedigree, as 'Run This Town' matches three of hip-hop's biggest luminaries. Also new in the top 10 are Kings of Leon, whose 'Sex On Fire' screams into the number 6 position after the song was performed on the X-Factor. The track is already the most-downloaded song in UK history, and this rather staggering re-entry proves there are somehow still a few people who don't already own it. Woman of the moment - or should we say Lady - Ms. Gaga helps Wale to a number 12 spot with 'Chillin,' while Just Jack hangs around with his new track at 15. The 16 spot goes to Booty Luv's 'Say It,' which while not the outright bomb of the week (we'll get to that in a moment), is a far cry from the top 10 successes they enjoyed with the last couple songs. There's little else of note in the top 40...Temper Trap hangs out at 29 with 'Sweet Disposition,' and Prodigy make an appearance at 38 with 'Take Me To The Hospital.' Perhaps most interesting is what is NOT in the top 40 this week. Dolly Rockers, the ScopiSat favorite and much-buzzed-about girlband, are nowhere to be seen. The girls' first proper single, 'Gold Digger,' is a mix of talky northern sass and hooky chorus and it quite frankly is a bit of a shock to not see it at least in the make a bit of a splash. This certainly isn't how their big debut was meant to go, but hopefully there is more to come from the terrific trio. Next week brings another hotly-tipped debut, from Mini Viva with 'I Left My Heart In Tokyo.' As of this writing the track already in the top 15 on iTunes so it looks like they'll avoid the DOA label. To see just how far they manage to actually go, check back next week!

The UK Top Ten:

1 - Jay Z ft Rihanna and Kanye West: Run This Town
2 - Sugababes: Get Sexy
3 - David Guetta ft Akon: Sexy Chick
4 - Dizzee Rascal: Holiday
5 - Black Eyed Peas: I Gotta Feeling
6 - Kings of Leon: Sex On Fire
7 - Little Boots: Remedy
8 - Tinchy Stryder ft Amelle: Never Leave You
9 - Beyonce: Sweet Dreams
10- Esmee Denters: Outta Here
