As prolific as he is as a producer, performer, designer and a purveyor of Luxury Rap, Kanye West is always good for an epic rant or emotional outburst. On Wednesday (Sept. 11), the Louis Vuitton Don went on a unique but very memorable rant in support of his G.O.O.D. Music artist Pusha T.
The Chicago MC/producer/designer has been known not to hold back his feelings on any issue – especially when it comes to Pop culture and his place in Hip-Hop.
So in honor of this latest tirade against “culture vultures” and anyone who dare not acknowledge the greatness of Push A Ton, we take a trip down memory lane to reflect on West’s most epic rants of all time. Plenty of these tirades didn’t always make sense, but they entertained nonetheless.

Here Kanye goes completely honey baked ham reminding us that the Grammy’s can suck his d-ck, he wasn’t co-signing Justin Timberlake & Jay-Z’s “Suit And Tie” track, and his hatred for corporate America.
The paparazzi was shook to death after they caused Kanye to slam his head on a sign while walking with his head down.
Another example of his vicious disdain for the paparazzi. Do not follow him dog – lesson learned.
During a performance in Melbourne, Australia in 2010, Ye’ went off for about six minutes explaining the back story of “Say You Will.” It includes a certain ex-girlfriend acting funny style via text. We wonder…
During a three day residency at an Atlantic City casino in 2012, West went on a wild pontification clearing up that “I’m not crazy – I’m just not satisfied!” Okay then.
In a very hysterical retort to the MTV’s Hottest MC’s List, Kanye calls into HOT 97 to gripe about his #7 slot to which we were not surprised. But what did catch everyone off guard was the fact West thought it was necessary to mention he gave Sway his first flat screen television. Yes, this happened.
At the 2007 MTV Awards, Kanye was caught backstage spazzing out after finding out he would not be performing on the main stage. Apparently that promise of him never returning to MTV didn’t work out so well.
After getting some mixed feedback on his video for “Monster,” West defended his artistic approach that included decapitated white women.
How can we forget when he stormed the stage of the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards when he lost “Best Video” to Justice vs. Simeon’s “We Are Your Friends.” Kanye’s explanation “this video cost a million dollars fam!” Ironically, Kanye had never seen the winning video up to that point.
Back in February Kanye was none to happy about his sound during a performance in London. He proceeded to yell and then threw down his microphone before exiting the stage. Classy.
In what has to be his most epic rant was his stage crashing while Taylor Swift was about to accept her MTV Award in 2006. And the “Imma let you finish” and Kanye Shrug memes were born.
We have to admit, Kanye said what everybody was thinking when he announced on live television “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”. Mike Meyer’s face though…
In 2005 Kanye felt in a ways about how said DJ handled this interview with the constant interruptions so he just left.
West continues his assault on the media and their unfair portrayal of him which he say labels him “like I’m Hitler”. Really?
Post the Taylor Swift VMA debacle, Kanye opened up on his lowest point of his career and addressed his nah sayers, in a very suspect outfit we might add.
