Kanye's Grammy Snub

Everyone knows that Kanye West takes his awards very seriously, but those who were expecting a Yeezy meltdown for his Grammy Album of the Year snub will be disappointed.


On Thursday during the Chicago stop of 'Ye and Hov'sWatch the Throne Tour, the hometown MC, who is leading the 2012 nominees with seven Grammy nods, addressed the crowd.

"Something I figured out earlier today, because you know everybody came to me last night like, 'Congratulations,' because you know I'm leading — I have the most Grammy nominations once again, like we always do at this time," Kanye said, drawing thunderous applause from the United Center crowd.

"But, you know, people focus, they say, 'You ain't have Album of the Year or Record of the Year,' " he continued as the fan cheers quickly turned to disapproving boos.

Then the outspoken rap star did the unexpected. Instead of sending shots toward the Grammy committee, Kanye blamed himself: "I figured it out though. That's my fault for dropping Watch the Throne and Dark Fantasythe same year. I should've just spaced it out, just a little bit more."
