People got more bent out of shape over this then over a congressman disrespecting our president. I think this whole situation has been blow so out of proportion. It's so funny the things people hold on to - obviously, kanye west is a knucklehead and an ass for doing it - but he's not evil nor does he need to be spoken down to like he's some piece of shit. I applaud Def for coming out in support of 'Ye. After all, it's not like Kanye killed or murdered anybody. It was a VMA from MTV - one of the fakest and superficial awards you can get. Not an accomplishment that was really worthy of anything more than a pat on a back. So honestly, get the hell over it and move on, people. It was a freaking moon man.

So, for me, this personal attack on Jay Leno (yes, calling him names is personal and, childish; which, coming from Mos Def, is surprising) - is out of line with his persona. I understand that he is a friend and loyal to Kanye West. But, true loyalty is indicative of true friendship. True friendship is equivalent to brotherhood; sometimes, even closer than brotherhood. Such a relationship SHOULD mean that it's okay to utter the statement - "Brother, you were wrong. You know your mama didn't raise you that way." - Or did she? To defend and tacitly support his conduct, only serves to further cement what appears to be the coddling and nurturing of his mighty ego that allowed him to conduct himself in such a manner to begin with. And further, I don't buy the 'he never really dealt with the death of his mother' excuse. Kanye West exhibited his tantrum throwing and rude behavior for the world, several times; long before he tragically lost his mother. Does he need to get counseling to deal with the lose? Absolutely! I'm sure it was devastating for him. But, Mr. West needs to check his attitude as well. From what I, as a fan, have seen of Mos Def, he's a truth teller.
