Kanye West Incites Mass Intimidation
47 Answers
Kanye West has managed to turn being an ignorant moron into an artform all of its own.
Here, he even surpasses his usual boorish behaviour by insisting that everyone in his concert audience stand up before he will perform a song.
He zeros in on two individuals who are not standing, while the crowd chant and boo at them.
It turns out that one fan is wheel-chair bound, and the other has a prosthetic limb, so West continues his set.
My view is - if an artist advised me he was not going to continue until i stood up, I would remain seated on principle - I stand when and if I wish, not otherwise, and certainly not because I am instructed to do so from the stage.
Leaving aside the tastelessness of this behaviour - does anyone agree that no musician can bully their audience into behaving the way they want?

mikey, just because you consider pop music to be beneath you doesn't mean we all feel the same way.
This story is news and has been carried on many major, international online news outlets over the weekend.
Kanye also went on a long rant the following night at his next gig, slating the press and accusing them of picking on him.
He has an ego the size of his wife's (Kim Kardashian) backside!
