Kanye West to Get MTV Award, Preparing Rambling, Incoherent Speech Now

Share

Kanye West is finally getting an award. He’s getting the Video Vanguard from MTV at the Video Music Awards at the end of August.

Somewhere, Kanye is preparing a rambling, incoherent speech that will be marked by flashes of genius but weighed down by craziness.

He may even interrupt himself and demand someone else– maybe Kim Kardashian– get the award.

I had no intention of watching this show, but I will now. And so will everyone else. Great move for MTV. Everyone loves a trainwreck.

Actually it would be funny if they had Taylor Swift go up and start shouting at him mid-speech. I’d pay to see that.
