It appears as though Kanye West is really, really sorry for last night's rant against Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The producer/rapper posted an all-caps apology on his blog last night, which was eventually removed from the site. Now, Kanye has posted a second apology that sounds a bit more remorseful than Sunday's rambling blog entry. "I feel like Ben Stiller in 'Meet the Parents' when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave," Kanye wrote today. "That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry."
Swift was given another chance to properly accept her award for Best Female Video when Beyonce, the second subject of Kanye's rant, asked the 19-year-old country star to join her on stage. Kanye was reportedly long gone at this point. According to reports, 'Ye was asked to leave Radio City Music Hall after his tirade.

He totally lacks any sort of class, couth, and a grip on reality... i am all for being outspoken and over the top, just not when it concerns hurting an innocent victim... i know for a fact that if anyone dared to steal his fire he would have lost it, winding himself in the local psych ward. at some point, being talented, and making good music shouldnt be enough if the character is as flawed as his-- i am in fact regretful for wasting any money on supporting his music! I am glad that he was asked to leave, as well as being winless with a variety of boos with the mention of his name-- it just goes to show you that his antics are far from appreciated, and Karma is a bitch!
Beyonce proved to be classy as ever, to give up her time to Taylor...its just a shame, however, that Taylor will more than likely have ill memories of her first moonman.
I am all for Kayne being banned... simply because he has done this before and will more than likely do it again... and he should be taught a bit of a lesson for being such a 'loose cannon'

You all are stupid A taylor shouldnt have even won that award. She is country. They dont have the Best Dealth Metal come on stage. She went mainstream and by the skin of her panties got that award! Kayne was right when he said Beyonce was the best and it is true, she works the hardest, Its damn little kids out here who vote for Taylor Swift, if the 90's generation people would have been voting last night it would have been some one alittle more how should i put this... BETTER? She looks like a twig and a child. So I say GO Kayne do your thing! You be a badass.. :D

What is so sad is the way he hates white people but doesn't mind taking their money...and stupid white kids (and their stupid parents) keep giving it to him. What a silly messed up world we live in...

I don't really listen to a lot of music anymore, but I've always thought Beyonce was the real deal. Her mortification at Kanye's behavior proved it yet again. And her graciousness toward Taylor Swift was truly admirable.
Last night's actions showed one superlative role model and one bad example to show your kids how NOT to act.
topdwn96at 9-14-2009
"most of us" It seems to me that the majority of the people felt like Taylor Swift should have that honor. Don't YOU go embarrassing Beyonce, too!

First off, this is not about race or whose music is good and what not. Kanye is a very talented artist, but he has no class what so ever. He needs to act like the grown ass man he is, instead of like an immature kid. Have some self control and respect for others, man! And alcohol is no excuse...and if that is how alcohol makes you act maybe you should lay off of it!
