24hourhiphop recently wondered on their website if Kanye West not getting any Grammy Nods was because of his music or because of his altercation (IN ALL CAPS) with Taylor Swift at the VMAs. Will that follow him forever now? From college dropout to graduated to MC Hammer?

Okay, maybe not that far. He has a lot going for him still. Maybe the next album will help people forget about what he does in public. Back to the issue of the grammys – what do you think? Why do you think he wasn’t nominated?

It doesn’t really matter to him, I suppose. He’s alive, rich, and partying with Beyonce and Jay Z, so life can’t be all that bad for him, ya know?

What do you think? Should Kanye West at least be nominated for a Grammy? Why or why not? Leave a comment below and let us know.

They Run the Town

(Rihanna)
Feeling it coming in the air,
hear the screams from everywhere,
I’m addicted to thrill,
Its a dangerous love affair,
Can’t be scared when it goes down,
got a problem tell me now,
Only thing thats on my mind is who gon run this town tonight,
who gon run this town tonite,
We gon run this town! Read the full story

Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West performed Run This Town for the first time last night in New York City, during Jay-Zs benefit concert.

As you can see, Mr. Kanye West is certainly NOT dead in this video. In fact, he appears quite lively. According to our sources, this doesn’t help confirming or denying the current status of Kanye West.

Curiously … or maybe not … this was posted at the Kanye West Blog. They’re pretty tight – JAy Z and Kanye West – according to our sources.
