Kayne West is a lot of things…does he rant a little…yes of course, don’t we all but was Kayne provoked this time on the Today Show…I think he was! Kanye is just trying to get past this whole Taylor Swift incident and talk about his “Bush incident” ( which he apologizes for) but he can’t.

In an interview to air today on NBC’s “Today” Matt Lauer sat down with Kanye West to discuss his reaction to what George W. Bush described as one of the worst moments in his presidency.  In his new book Decision Points, and in an interview with Lauer, Bush talked candidly about how West’s remarks at the 2005 NBC Katrina telethon affected him.

Bush told Lauer, “He called me a racist… I didn’t appreciate it then.  I don’t appreciate it now.  It’s one thing to say, ‘I don’t appreciate the way he’s handled his business.’  It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’  I resent it, it’s not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency.”

In the taped interview, West told Lauer, “I would tell George Bush in my moment of frustration that I didn’t have the grounds to call him a racist. But I believe that in a situation of high emotion, like that, we as human beings don’t always choose the right words. “

I actually feel bad for Kanye! This video is so uncomfortable….I get it TV shows run the videos of the past incidents but it bother Kanye…I get that too!

Kanye took to his Twitter to rant and well vent…

“Before I take off let me tell you how they did me at the Today show,” he wrote. “I went up there to express how I was empathetic to Bush because I labeled him a racist and years later I got labeled as a racist. While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the “MTV” under me with audio!!!!!!! I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show … and that’s a very nice way for me to put it! HE TRIED TO FORCE MY ANSWERS. IT WAS VERY BRUTAL AND I CAME THERE WITH ONLY POSITIVE INTENT. I feel very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused. I can’t be everybody’s hero and villain savior and sinner Christian and anti Christ! Everything sounds like noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING SOUNDS LIKE NOISE!!!!!!! I don’t trust anyone! He played clips of Bush and asked me to look at his face while I was trying to talk to him. I wish Michael Jackson had twitter!!!!!! This is rock and roll life my people… you can’t stop the truth you can’t stop the music and I have to be strong or “they” win!!!!”

What do you think about the interview!
