Kanye West: A man of dubious ethics

Plagiarist

My apologies in advance to those of you who are getting bored with this whole Kanyegate, but I'm sure there were a lot of people who felt the same way during the original Watergate, and we know how that turned out. Anyhoo, I thought I'd just let you guys in on a couple of other Kanye-related scandles I happened upon while doing research for my own.

Cap-Onegate: Apparently, Kon the Louis Vutton Too Good for the Ghetto Don sold poor little Cap-One some beats, and then resold the same beats to Jay-Z for The Blueprint, Alchemist-style. Cap-One obviously didn't appreciate that, and has recorded an entire CD going off on Kanye.

It's Only Famgate: And if that wasn't bad enough, it looks like he's being sued by by some group called I.O.F. (It's Only Family) for jacking the hook to their song "Straight Like That" for his and Ludacris' "Stand Up." They too have decided to take their anger into the recording booth and have produced a song enitled "Fuck Ludacris," which should probably subtitled ("And His Buttboy Kanye, No Homo")

Were you aware that Kanye has already been banned from one awards show this year? Yep, it's true. Some Gospel awards show was going to give him a trophy for "Jesus Walks," but then they realized how much of a douche he was and took his punk ass off the ballots completely. This is what can happen with the Grammys if enough of us speak out about it. Sign the petition today.
