'THE BIG BOO' CROWD HISSES KANYE WEST Fri Sep 09 2005 10:30:28 ET

The chart topping hip hop rapper star who used a network hurricane fundraiser to charge "George Bush doesn't care about black people" was loudly and lustily booed during last night's NFL kickoff show.

The appearance of Kanye West, who was beamed into the Boston stadium via remote from Los Angeles, received a strongly negative response from the crowd.

"The boos were thunderous and lasted for much of his number," reports the BOSTON GLOBE.

That's wonderful to hear that that POS got booed. Too bad they didn't throw his CD's onto the field in protest

Kayne, we hardly knew ye....but what little we knew about was, well, really dreadful.

Say, any truth to the rumor that you're going to be covering "Singing In The Rain"?

"The appearance of Kanye West, ~~...during last night's NFL kickoff show."

Is another indicator of the decline of the NFL and pro team sports in general. Not long, I imagine, until they are all mimmicks of MTV meets Streetball on today's JERRY SPRINGER SHOW.

That's great. I wish I had watched it now. Pretty much all of Bush's Massachusetts voters must have been in attendance.

It reminds me of Hillary's response from the firefighters and police officers in Madison Square Garden right after 9-11. Of course VH1 edited out the boos for subsequent broadcasts, but the original was great.

The marketing morons at the NFL did a "compromise" where west would be not be there, but still "particpate".

As usual it blew up in the NFL marketing morons faces.

Boston Globe "was disconcerted" to report on this.

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2005/09/09/nfl_kickoff_show_falls_short_at_gillette/

"Yet it was disconcerting to hear his name booed loudly by Patriots fans who evidently didn't appreciate his nationally televised comment the other night on a Hurricane Katrina benefit that President Bush ''doesn't care about black people." The boos were thunderous and lasted for much of his number."

LOL! Actually, the scuzz can't sing. He does hip-hop, which is really just a tricked up method of doing rap. And rap is nothing more than speaking 3rd-grade-level rythmn and rhyme. It all sounds exactly the same. None of it is singing. All of it is just a way to glorify inner-city street thugs and their "culture."

Don't you just love it when people like this Good Charlotte's Joel Madden completely change the subject by defending West's right to say what he said, as if anyone is arguing that he doesn't have that right?

The questions are whether or not you agree that Bush 'doesn't care about black people', and if ostensibly non-political telethons are the proper place to voice such political statements.

That he has the right to say it is not in question.

I was at the game. He was booed though I wouldn't describe it as overwhelming. He was one of the opening acts so many people were being seated while he rapped away.

At halftime, there was a swearing in ceremony for new Army National Guard personnel. after the ceremony, "God Bless the USA" was played which got a big hand.

Foxboro incidentally is a fairly conservative town. The local state rep, who just passed away, was a solid R (always voted for tax cuts, against gay marriage etc.)

yep.. bad vocalizing, all to these looped mechanical beats.. not one human hand involved in making the music.

I get in quite a few arguments on music forums, that I frequent. These folks argue that it's the words, the poetry---man.. And then I ask for a transcription of some of this "poetry"... which they post, and it's truly horrible stuff.. mostly written with a rhyming dictionary.. cat hat... bush mush.. kind of stuff.

I hate what has happened to popular music... just hate it.

Not all of Boston is Bush-Bashing country.
Anything outside of the 128 belt is usually pretty main-stream America.
This was obviously at Foxboro Stadium, far from Boston.

I thought the game started at 8PM. I turned it on and saw someone singing an incoherent song. I checked the program guide and saw it was an hour long kickoff special. I said "this is the gayest thing I've ever seen" and turned it to FoxNews.

Since he wasn't there in person, he might not even know he was booed. But at least the NFL, ABC et al. know.
