I'd rather they be brutally honest every time.

I dunno if he was being brutally honest during the Taylor Swift incident. I think I'm more with NC Skins in that he was just being an asshat. It seems like he never knows the right time to be honest. Like the Katrina incident... I mean I dunno. I hope there's a good hearted, well intentioned guy somewhere within Kanye West, but everything about him screams, "Pay attention to me and respect me! I'm edgy and opinionated."

I think it's a little bit of both. Part of it is just him being brutally honest, part of it is probably him being an attention whore as well. In the end, he is who he is, and what we've come to expect from him probably isn't going to influence him. He does stupid things like the Swift incident partly because of his opinion, and partly because of his ego. I didn't agree with it either when it happened but it's not gonna change anything.

most of it is he's a total douche... his live show is basically just him on stage... he won't even let the audience see the band (who have to hide under the stage and out of sight), cause he wants to make sure everyone is looking at him and only him.

Well said. Couldn't agree more. He's like a petulant little child. The Katrina comments and the Taylor Swift incident are just a microsm of who he is. It's a real shame, because if his personality came anywhere close to matching up with his musical talents... Man oh man. Sky's the limit.
