[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm honestly perplexed that there are still people who side with Taylor and give credence to the statement her team issued in a last ditch attempt to inelegantly grasp at straws. Taylor Swift has been in the music industry since she was 14. Over past decade of her illustrious career she has worked with multiple rappers and obviously is intimately familiar with rap music and it's sometimes provocative contents. The video Kim Kardashian released demonstrates that Taylor a. heard the line, " For all my Southside niggas that know me best/I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex," b. understood  his claim that he "made her famous"  and c. was not offended but in fact flattered by both parts of the song.

There is no part in the video that shows he read her the line, "Why because I made that bitch famous," however, the video DOES show Taylor has heard that line, understands its context in the narrative of Kanye's music and is flattered by it.

So, if she is flattered by him singing that he and she might still have sex and then understands why he would say he made her famous, then why is she supposedly upset by the "bitch" part?

The most offensive parts are the suggestion that she would be receptive to having sex with Kanye and the ubsurd notion that HE made her famous and she enthusiastically signs off on those. The "Bitch" claim is merely grasping at straws.

Full lyrics below:

For all my Southside niggas that know me best
I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn)
I made that bitch famous
For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West
If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best
Why? They mad they ain't famous (God damn)
They mad they're still nameless (Talk that talk, man)
Her man in the store tryna try his best
But he just can't seem to get Kanye fresh
But we still hood famous (God damn)
Yeah we still hood famous

It's an offensive song.  In his own twisted mind he made Taylor "famous" by publicly degrading her.  Now he's done it again and in his effed up head she should be grateful to him.  Maybe if she had put out he wouldn't have made this disgusting song and music video about her?

I think it's a very intimidating video.  Nothing "tongue in cheek" or funny about it.  NOT what they discussed - AT ALL.

I kind of agree with Kanye. ANY publicity is good publicity. Public sympathy for her renews attention on her and gets her more album sales. She is going to make BANK out of the events of this summer.[/quote]

She has already started. 4 of her old albums are back on the Billboard 100 chart.

Who knows, maybe all of this really was planned out between the three of them for the $$$$$$$[/quote]
