Breaking Some Mac

From The A.V. Club:
The fallout over Kanye West's recent performance at Bonnaroo--in which he kept the audience waiting until a brutal 4:25 a.m. before finally going on, prompting many to 'pelt the stage with glow sticks and beer' while chanting 'Kanye sucks!'--has been a favorite topic of music blogs this week, but you know, has anybody stopped to ask Kanye how he feels about it? After all, it's not like the man could just walk out with a couple of fog machines and a four-track and put on a proper show; his Glow In The Dark Tour requires the construction of an entire spaceship, for fuck's sake. You try throwing one of those together, especially after Pearl Jam has already delayed everything by an hour with an extra-long Obama stump speech. Today West finally stood up for himself on his personal blog, blasting back at everyone who was there and all of the negative press he's received in the aftermath, and letting loose with an all-caps rant that blames everyone from the stage crew to Pearl Jam to the people who broke his precious 'Jane' for the delay heard 'round the world. In the interest of unbiased journalism (and also, because holy fucking shit), we've reprinted it verbatim below. Enjoy, and don't never say The A.V. Club doesn't give you its all!!!

I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall... Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been... this is the maddest I ever will be. I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! "
It goes on from there. For a long time.
