What actually happened with Kanye at Bonnaroo that everyone around here hates him now lol? I know he was late but is that it? Is that the sole reason for all this hate or was it something he said or did on stage. I'm clueless. I'm only asking because I see him talked about rather ofter and I was informed of this site Kanyebites.com earlier and it had a small excerpt written by him about how pissed he was that everyone at Bonnaroo was so mean to him lol. So could anyone PLEASE fill me in.

pissed off b/c of his tardiness, the bonnaroo crowd overpowered him at his show in '08 and sacrificed him to the bonnaroo gods. i think he got the last laugh though. i heard from my drycleaner that the bonnaroo gods didn't want him so they reincarnated him back to earth.

tl;dr quack Kanye, Why?
He showed up super late....much later then scheduled. They kept pushing back his timeslot.
Everyone assumed it was because of the huge stage he had for his current tour. Then word got out that earlier in the night he was in another state at a party.
He showed up late (which pissed off many people who could have been watching a few different amazing shows but were instead waiting for Kanye to come out).
His show was good. But people were clearly annoyed that he didn't apologize or say anything about it. Some say that he was sticking to the script of his show but either way....it came off as he didn't care about being so late.
You also have to remember this was 2008, close to the time when his ego was huge and he was being a jerk to a lot of people. Many were upset he was even on the lineup because they didn't like his attitude.
Then, later on Kanye posted a blog where he didn't apologize but rather criticized Roo and/or the fans.
1. Kanye was moved to a latenight What spot so he could do his glow in the dark show 2. Pearl Jam played an hour late 3. Kanye's stage took a while to setup 4.Kanye West goes on around 4 even though he was supposed to start at 2:45(I don't remember the exact time) 5. Kanye never acknowledges crowd(though this was most likely due to the fact that the show was scripted) 6. People yell Kanye sucks the next day 7. People that have sticks up their butts are still mad at kanye
I wasn't at that roo, I wouldn't of been at Kanye's set anyways, but I will say that if you've got a show booked on a certain day at a certain time, you shouldn't be in another city and state no matter how close in proximity they are. First Kanye was scheduled in the closing Which Stage slot before the headliner. I understand his show would've worked better in the dark, and there may have been technical issues added on to the fact he had to come from Atlanta, but apologizing would've been the least he could do. If he really was waiting till everyone else was done on the other stages, well then he just doesn't deserve the attention and money he's getting.

1. Kanye was originally scheduled at 8pm Which Stage against only one other major act; Jack Johnson. I don't buy the "glow in the dark" exuse, it would have been dark by 815, perform some old songs. 2.Pearl Jam performed a full three hours, as in Bonnaroo's past, 9pm-12am has been the usuall time slot for a Headliner- although most bands can't fill it entirely. Even if PearlJam ended at 1230, thats two hours to set up AND that stage was set up hours before he took the stage I REPEAT his stage was set up hours before he took the stage. No last minute tweeks at all, for hours. 3.See above #2. 4. He went on later than 4am, I finished Ghostland Observatory and strolled over to Phil Lesh to hear him bitching that he has to get off the stage at 4 because of Kanye. Instantaneously pissing off all the old heads who followed the Dead and Phil for thousands of years. 5. Kanye looked annoyed that he even was on stage. Name one other band that doesn't say BONNAROOOOOO! at least once? Its give and take at Roo and he did neither. Lackluster performance, the only people awake were on party favors and would have danced all night if the Lunar Stage had existed but instead had Kanye. Yay. 6. Robert Randolph led the charge "Kanye Sucks Kanye Sucks" the next day during his set. You should youtube that, its worth a gander. 7. I aint mad at Kanye, he simply isn't that good live. Narcissism lasts only so long. we'll see how many fans he has in his old age. Or even into his 40s. He aint no RZA!
You know what I think? Kanye sucks. He's a gay fish. He didn't respect Bonnaroo's fanbase and they no longer care for him. Even with him being late, that late, if he would have put on a kick ass performance??? Everybody would be "dude, did you see Kanye in 08" "The sun was up brah and he melted my face" and so on. Fuck Kanye Worst!
Kanye refused to play on anything but the main stage. Kanye was late, not because of his stage, but because he was in a different state. Kanye refused to take the stage until Phil Lesh's set was over Kanye put on a short, forgettable concert, with some incredibly ignorant scripted parts where he told a computer how horny he was. KANYE ALMOST BROKE HIS FUCKING MAC BOOK AIR BECAUSE HE WAS TYPING SO HARD, TRYING TO PUT THE BLAME ANYWHERE BUT ON HIM.
Kanye is a douche bag, plain and simple. I have never spent a dime on any of his music, and never will. People who try to defend him are beyond me.
What it really amounts to is late night Bonnaroo is always about hard decisions, so if people decided to skip Crystal Castles/Sigur Ros/the Hip Hop tent for Kanye and then got neither they got pretty irritated about it.

proof?

Definitely
Kanye refused to take the stage until Phil Lesh's set was over
Not proven, but strongly rumored and likely true since Phil commented about ending and Kanye didn't start til he was the only one.

Well that's not why people of Bonnaroo hate him. That was just his show that tour and your opinion of it. I thought he put on a good show. I enjoyed it even though it was really late and he didn't apologize.

lol yea that blog was pretty silly.
Kanye is a summers breeze bag, plain and simple. I have never spent a dime on any of his music, and never will. People who try to defend him are beyond me.
Lots of douchebags and assholes can make great music. You don't like him.....that's fine. I've enjoyed at least 3 of his albums VERY much and many others have as well.

This ^
I left Phil Lesh early to get a good spot for Kanye and skipped Ghostland Observatory completely.
Such a bad decision and most of the blame goes to Kanye.

I can really only say that i had a phenominal night that night! after catching part of chromeo and phil lesh i showed up at kanye with my friends and after one delay.. i say im out, left and rolled over to ghostland then chali 2na of jurassic 5 which galactic showed up for and then still made it to kanye as the sun was coming up. when i got to camp and told everyone how awesome my night was, i was met with frustration and the finger
I had a lot of fun that night. After I checked out a few songs from Phil Lesh, I went right into the pits and met some great people. We spent the night telling Bonnaroo stories and booing Kanye. The guy next to me threw a bottle at the video screen and broke it. It was hilarious seeing security running around trying to figure out who threw the bottle. I lied and told them I didn't see anything. I personally thought Kayne's set was horrible but I still enjoyed it. When he was singing about robot pussy I was laughing so hard that I could barely breathe. Kanye is a jerk and a horrible singer but I don't hate him.
