Last month's Raleigh stop on the Kanye West tour went off with no incidents or public tantrums to speak of, which has not always been the case. But boy howdy, is he making up for that now. Angered over criticism of the 4:25 a.m. start time of his performance at the Bonnaroo Festival, West took to his laptop to fire back at his detractors in his inimitable fashion (NSFW warnings apply). Somebody fix that man's caps-lock and exclamation-point keys...

ADDENDUM (7/16/08): In case anybody was wondering, West wants it known he writes his own blog posts.

Bonnaroo
Thu, 06/26/2008 - 12:25 — Anonymous (not verified)The Bonnaroo production team bent over backwards to accommodate this self-absorbed diva, going to such lengths as asking Phil Lesh to cut a midnight to 4am show in half per Kanye's request that "no other bands are playing when I'm on". They did everything they could to make this show work and he still blew it.
I had to laugh when the sun came up three songs into Kanye's laser light show that had to happen at night per his demands.

"Kanye West doesn't care about white people."
Bonnaroo?

As for Mr. West, he needs a time-out and a chill pill.
