Kanye West Rants About Grammy "Album Of The Year" Snub at Phoenix Concert (Video)

kanye west yeezus tour

What would happen to our lives without our weekly Kanye West rant dose? The rapper performed a concert as part of his on-going North American "Yeezus" tour in Phoenix on Tuesday, December 10th, and during a one-on-one chat moment with his fans, Kim Kardashian's boo had to speak his mind about the Grammy nominations announced only a few days ago. Skip to the 9:53 minute mark in the video below.

Basically, Kanye is pissed “Yeezus” didn’t score a nomination on the “Album of the Year” category. Although, the rapper’s latest album did get nominated for "Best Rap Album". Plus, the track "New Slaves" is up for "Best Rap Song". Nevertheless, Kanye thinks that "Album of the Year" snub (the most important category) is a huge demonstration of disrespect by the US National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences experts.

Read below a transcript of Kanye’s rant at his Phoenix concert below, if you’re unable to play the video: If you are able, don’t miss the loud cursing at the end of the rant. Hilarious. Even if he’s right about the Scammys, Kanye needs anger therapy.

"I’m 36-years-old and I have 21 Grammys. That’s the most Grammys of any 36-year-old. Out of all of those 21 Grammys, I’ve never won a Grammy against a white artist. And Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list. But only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say? Do they think that I wouldn’t notice? Do they think that, someway, I don’t have the power to completely diminish all of their credibility at this moment? But no, no. Only positive energy, only positive vibes. But when you see me talking about what people are doing when I say 'marginalized,' when I say 'boxed in,' when I say 'hold back,' when I say people are afraid of the truth, that’s one example right there in front of you. And people come to me and congratulate me on those two nominations. F*CK THOSE NOMINATIONS!"
