When Beck won “Album of the Year” last night at the Grammys Kanye followed him onstage only to smile and return back to his seat. Many people thought Kanye was going to do the same thing he did to Taylor Swift back in 2009 at the VMA’s but it didn’t actually happen. Not very long afterwards Kanye spoke with E standing with his wife saying “If The Grammy’s want real artist to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us,” adding “We ain’t finna play with them no more. ‘Flawless’ Beyoncé video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé, and at this point, we tired of it. Because what happens is, when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration.” When Beck heard what Kanye said he responded saying “I was just so excited he was coming up He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody. How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?” and Beck finished with “You can’t please everybody, man. I still love him and think he’s genius. I aspire to do what he does.” Thankfully Beck didn’t take too much offense and it seems as though another Taylor Swift moment has been avoided.
