Kanye West – Power – New Video

Kanye West Closes VMAs

It’s a little bit sad and greatly hypocritical that some people just forget their words and let go of their pride. If you remember, Kanye West was rather upset and insulted at last year’s MTV VMAs because he didn’t win the number of awards he thought he deserved. He was also annoyed that his performance was limited to a small stage. He vowed to never return to another VMA after that. Apparently, his word is only as good as the money they can throw at him as Kanye was at the 25th VMAs this past Sunday.
