Maybe I'm too hard on Kanye nowadays... or maybe the once-prolific producer is just out of his fucking mind.

High on fame and the opportunity to control a captive crowd, Kanye West filmed an episode of VH1 Storytellers recently and said some weird shit and some really stupid shit. Here, for your reading pleasure, are choices quotes from Kanye's adventures in storytelling:

Kanye on Chris Brown and his recent abuse of Rihanna.

"Can't we give Chris a break? ... I know I make mistakes in life."

Kanye on two famous guys named Michael that have nothing to do with each other.

"Michael Jackson, amazing. Michael Phelps, amazing ... He's a real fucking person; he makes mistakes."

Kanye on "The Juice."

"O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?"

Kanye on supposedly being snubbed backstage at the Grammys by Thom Yorke of Radiohead.

"So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the fuck down."

Hmm... I mean, Kanye, did it ever occur to you that you were at THE GRAMMYS, a major live production that's broadcast around the world, and Yorke may have been a bit busy? Give the guy a break!

On the other hand, should we give Chris Brown a break? I say FUCK NO! Giving the biggest benefit of the doubt I can, I'll agree that he made a mistake. Does that mean we shouldn't give him hell for it? NO! Do you know what the picture of Rihanna looks like, Kanye? What is it, Diane? Tell me. Do you know!?!

Anyway, not that there's anything really wrong with what Kanye said about Michael Phelps, Jackson, or Simpson. I just thought I'd toss those comments in to add to the overall ambiance of insane foot-in-mouth ranting created by the Chris Brown and Thom Yorke stuff.
