Kanye West was a poor loser last night at the MTV Europe Awards, despite being named Best Hip Hop artist. The rapper was clearly upset that his Touch the Sky video was beat out in the Best Video category, and launched into tirade saying, "[My video] cost a million dollars. Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons and sh**." West even insulted the awards show itself, spouting, "the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you, but hell, man." The Jesus Walks rapper admitted in a press conference that he's never even seen the video that won. "I haven't seen [the winning video]. Possibly it could have been quite good, but no way better than Touch the Sky. That is complete bullsh**. I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV," West said. "It took a month to film. I stood on a mountain. I flew a helicopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award." West said the other video's win was "spread the love bullsh**, 'Oh everyone should have an award.' Please, please people, print 'Kanye says f**k that!'"Friday, November 3, 2006
