Rapper/producer Kanye West was recently nominated for a number of Grammy awards. Two categories in which he was nominated were Song of the Year and Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks," a song he bought from an Indianapolis-based MC named Rhymefest and re-recorded. While it is true that Rhymefest was given a songwriting credit and nominated for two awards along with West, we do not feel that it is appropriate for The Recording Academy to reward this kind of behavior, especially in light of statements he has made with regard to his capabilities as an artist and the fact that he rarely acknowledges the fact that he buys a lot of "his" music from other artists. Therefore we are requesting that you remove his name from consideration in all categories in which he was nominated.

    • Especially after he showed such lack of respect for the authority of the country, belittling his president, his patriotism proves itself so low, I don't want to see him host the grammys. He doesn't deserve to do anything that condones his atrocious behavior.

    • I think the comments were made to bring attention to himself.. Kanye seems to make these stupid outbursts when he feels he's not getting enough attention. This was to help victims of Katrina not put his name in headlines If he really cared he would donate 5 million dollars (he can afford it) and be in New Orleans helping out.

    • Think it's time the true artists were propperly recognized, not the ones who just want to make a quick buck off of someone else. Simply because one isn't creative/talented enough on their own, doesn't give them the right to miscredit another's work purely for fame and profit.
