Kanye West Bashes MTV Again, this time on EllenAuthored by Scott Goldberg on September 14, 2007 - 11:16am.
 The man is angry right now. Really, really angry. And forget about the album he released on Tuesday, which sold around 430,000 copies its first, well ahead of 50 Cent who also released an album that day. West is feeling really sensitive right now, and MTV is the culprit. "[MTV] didn't give me the opportunity to rock the way I wanted to rock," he said on Ellen DeGeneres’s show Ellen. He said his five VMA nominations without any trophies to show for it was a "slap in the face." Kanye West is not a sore loser. Believe that.
