Kanye has spazzed out on MTV at least 10 times.
I thought it was a cool thing to go all black with an album, but performing at MTV just kills the meaning of the album.
He did what Jay did only half way, he drops videos on his own site, drops the album on his own site, promotion on his own twitter. I.e. everything according to his own platform.
Why would he do this? Must be label pressure, motherfukking a&rs got bills to pay and need that bonus to keep the instagram pictures floating.
