(CBS/AP) Hip-hop star Kanye West is still feeling the pain over his trophy grab from Taylor Swift last year - and he's expressing his pain all over Twitter.
West has unleashed a torrent of emotions on his official Twitter on Saturday, acknowledging he was wrong for taking an award from the country music sweetheart at the MTV Video Music Awards.
But he says he "bled hard."
West wrote that he "cancelled tour with the number one pop star in the world [Lady Gaga] ... closed the doors of my clothing office.
"Had to let employees go... for the first time I felt the impact of my brash actions ... I felt the recession from an ownership side."
He once again apologized to Swift, and says he has written a song for Swift that he hopes she will perform.
"She deserves the apology more than anyone," West wrote.
He also thanked Biz Stone and Evan Williams, Twitter's founders, "for creating a platform where we can communicate directly."
West experienced tremendous backlash over the stunt - even President Barack Obama called him a jackass.

Mr West is expressing great remorse, via Twitter, for his idiotic behavior. Sounds like it hit him hard in the wallet.

West is still enormously talented while Swift is little more than a pretty face with a guitar.
ByronCrawford.com: More proof Kanye West is a doucheMore proof Kanye West is a douche
Could 2008 finally be the year America realizes what a douche Kanye West really is?
....
The beef stemmed from the track below, Payroll's "Never Change". Back in the early parts of this decade, when Kanye was just a young up-and-coming producer, he produced a track for a rising Chicago "gangster" rapper (sorry, you know how I hate labels), by the name of Payroll, and that track became known as "Never Change". A short while later an almost identical version of "Never Change" showed up on one of this decades biggest hip hop albums, Jay-Z's the Blueprint. To add insult to injury, Kanye re-spit Payroll's hook "I'm still fuckin' with crime, cause Crime pays, Out hustlin', same clothes for days", bar for bar on Jigga's version.

Obviously, the MTV Music Awards hates black people.
Sampling is evidence of a lack of creativity.West is still enormously talented while Swift is little more than a pretty face with a guitar.
Kanye West sued for stealing lyrics to Stronger Consequence of Sound
M'eh. That entire song is "sampled" from Daft Punk (who I am sure West paid for the rights). When it comes to "sampling" IMO it's pretty hard for another artists to claim another artist ripped them off for music they both ripped off.
MTV plays music?Obviously, the MTV Music Awards hates black people.
Can anyone tell us why MTV Cowtowed and avoided a lawsuit launched by RAP artists for not playing enough of it or even censoring it in the late 80's early 90's?
Of course MTV caved. And I never watched them again for their spinelessness.

Meanwhile, the NYT calls the woman you dismiss as "a pretty face with a guitar":
...one of pops finest songwriters, countrys foremost pragmatist and more in touch with her inner life than most adults.
Arrangement, sure. But sampling other people's riffs is like copying a paragraph from someone else's book and taking credit for it.I disagree. I used to think that, but there is talent in the arrangement of someone else's music.
The NYT called her a pop songwriter. Do pay attention.You value the NYT's opinion on country music? No wonder the format blows these days.
If you don't graduate from UW Seattle Med school, you're not a real doctor. You're a veterinarian.If it doesn't come out of Austin, it's not country. It's bubble-gum.

Funny -- the guy who sued West didn't file because he got cited and paid, did he?Arrangement, sure.

They don't take credit for it. That's plagiarism. In this instance, the people who wrote the originals got a commission and cited. That's business.
Your butthurt has no bearing. She's a talented songwriter and performer, and has earned awards and lots of money for doing so.The NYT called her a pop songwriter. Do pay attention.
Is she pop? Is she country? She doesn't know what to suck at*.
I'm sure they'll be devastated.Anyways, as hard as I read that blurb is about as much as I care about the NYT's opinion.
Ahhh. So you get to make pronouncements on the validity of someone's efforts, but no one else does. Got it.If you don't graduate from UW Seattle Med school, you're not a real doctor. You're a veterinarian.
Only if I care about your opinion.
I'm gonna take your word for it. Last time I watched MTV, they were playing music videos.MTV plays music?Can anyone tell us why MTV Cowtowed and avoided a lawsuit launched by RAP artists for not playing enough of it or even censoring it in the late 80's early 90's?

They USED TO...When I came home after my year or so on a Mountaintop in Northern Greece?
I thought it was the neatest thing (we're talking early 80's here)...Artists could do videos to showcase their MUSIC.
FF a decade...RAP (which isn't music...but simplisic GARBAGE that is ruled by THUGS angry at their OWN FAILINGS) enters the picture and threatens to SUE MTV for not playing enough of it?
Thus you have what you view today...GARBAGE. Not worthy of anything but distain. A Socialistic Societal meltdown of less-than stellar morons that hope someone will purchase their anti-social rascist bullsqueeze.
Kanye who?
