“give chris brown a break”

Kanye West filmed an episode of VH1 Storytellers that will air Sunday, and since Kanye can't go 30 seconds without saying something dumb, the unedited footage was bound to deliver.  Not that you would know it if you watched the show of course.

Some of West's choicer comments ended up on the cutting room floor, but there's no political conspiracy afoot, said executive producer Bill Flanagan."A lot of the stories that Kanye told went long," Flanagan told Reuters on Thursday. "I tried to get to the essence of his comments."(At one point) West asked the crowd, "Can't we give Chris (Brown) a break? … I know I make mistakes in life … Michael Jackson, amazing. Michael Phelps, amazing … He's a real fuckin' person; he makes mistakes … O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?"

Kanye makes a good point.  OJ won the NFL rushing title four times, but only chopped off his wife’s head once.  I guess in your world, every deadly assassin is automatically a bad guy.  What OJ did was amazing.  If you think you could stalk a human target and then eliminate it on your very first try like he did, you’re foolin yourself mister.
