Motivation Monday: Keep The Ego In Check

Well Kanye proved yet again what an idiot he is. Now I will be the first to admit that I have let my ego get the best of me on occasion, but I will never throw someone under the bus in the process. 

Whether or not you believe that Beck should have won The Grammy’s Album of the Year over Beyonce, what Kanye did after was classless. This wasn’t even his first offense. Remember Taylor Swift. I mean to say that Beck isn’t an artist when he writes and composes all of songs, and plays most of the instruments as well. I dare Kanye to try to do that without sampling a single song. Kanye West wants true artists, and no offense to Beyonce’s talents, she can sing the shirts off of men, but all her music is mass produced by a group of people. She is a singer, not an artist. You are comparing Picasso to a paint by numbers artist. 

Now Kanye is entitled to his own opinion, as is everyone else, but keep it simple and classy. Something along the lines of “I think Beyonce should have won, but congrats to Beck” would have been good.

I know this turned into more of a rant instead of a motivational post, but what can be taken away from this was Beck’s response to Kanye’s outburst: ”I was just so excited [West] was coming up, he deserves to be onstage as much as anybody. How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?” “I thought she was going to win. Come on, she’s Beyonce! … You can’t please everybody, man. I still love [West] and think he’s genius. I aspire to do what he does.”

Always take the high road!
