Producers won't cut Kanye's Bush attack
MTV bosses have chosen to let outspoken rapper Kanye West's latest anti-George W Bush rant stand when his taped concert special airs this weekend.
The rap star's controversial comments during a benefit telethon earlier this month were axed from a later broadcast when TV bosses balked at his claim: "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
But MTV bosses have no plans to censor comments West made during a $2 Bill concert in Los Angeles on Saturday night, which was taped for broadcast on US cable channel MTV2. West took a moment during the show at the Henry Ford Music Box Theatre to tell fans the criticism he faced for slamming Bush was nothing compared to the hardship African-American survivors of the hurricane have had to deal with in recent weeks.
The rapper blasted: "I can think of a lot worse things that could happen to me, like how about not eating for five days… or how about not knowing where your family is."
West also continued his attack on President Bush, calling his recent trips to the devastated Gulf coast region of America a chance "to kiss some black people".
The rap star claims Bush didn't act quickly enough to help those left stranded by last month's hurricane.
