Kanye West copped two Grammy nominations this week, but apparently, that wasn't good enough for him.  And his latest rant-o-the-day was all about the "snub".  Check it inside, plus a few other folks who felt slighted by getting zero nominations...

During an interview with E! (of course) and on stage during his Phoenix Yeezus tour stop on Tuesday, Kanye let the world know he's not OK with the 2014 GRAMMY nominations.  To be specific, he said,"F*ck those nominations!"

Kanye, who did land nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for "New Slaves", took to the mic to say the nominations were "patronizing".  He said, "I would have rather had NO nominations.  I'm happy for my brothers who did get nominations."

He went on,"Yeezus is the top one or two album on every single list but only gets two nominations from the Grammys. What are they trying to say?"

Apparently, he was pissed Yeezus didn't get nominated for Album of the Year. That's the one category that crosses all genre lines, and we know how much Kanye wants so badly to be accepted by the "mainstream establishment"....yet speaks so hatefully about it.

Kanye said on stage that he's won 21 Grammys in his career (which is an amazing feat), but he's not pleased because he's never won a Grammy against a white artist.  He says people are marginalized and boxed in.  In theory, we agree. Do we think it applies to Kanye?  We'll keep our comments to ourselves on that one....

But the "Bound 2" rapper looked to be back in good spirits on Wednesday as he was spotted out with his leading lady and her mom doing Christmas shopping in "the establishment"...Barneys.

By the way, K.Michelle and India Arie are also pissed about getting snubbed for a Grammy nomination.  K said they must not be ready for "a little black girl speaking her mind."  And India said this is the first time she hasn't been nominated for her work.

 

BONUS: Arsenio Hall had some words this week for Kanye after 'Ye included Arsenio in one of his rants.  He had to school Mr. West on the real deal:

The Randomness:

1.  The Mandela memorial service sign language interpreter who stirred up controversy this week by actually not signing anything correctly...is claiming he was hallucinating and is suffering from schizophrenia.  STORY
