Kanye West is still angry at Taylor Swift.
At a surprise performance of his acclaimed new album at NYC's Bowery Ballroom around 1 a.m. Wednesday, West, 33, launched another attack against the country star, 20, whom he famously ambushed at the 2009 Video Music Awards.
During his rant, West seemed to suggest that the Speak Now singer used the VMA brouhaha to bolster her fame.

"Taylor never came to my defense at any interview," West ranted. "And rode the waves and rode it and rode it," he sniped of Swift.
Swift wasn't West's only target. The "Power" rapper also dug into Matt Lauer, with whom he recently tussled on the Today Show.

West charged that Lauer "exploited" him as they chatted about former President George W. Bush, who lamented that West called him a "racist" for his handling of Katrina.
Bush had said that West's comment was a "lowest moment" in his Presidency; West also objected to the Today Show playing a video clip of the VMA moment during their Today Show interview.

"Because [of] the popularity of me, they exploited that...That's not what he f*cking said!" West railed. "That's not what he said! He said it was one of his lowest moments. But it shows you---the way they try to villainize, the way they tried to do that."
Tell Us What You Think
120I totally agree with his detractors...such an inflated ego, he thinks he's God's gift to the music world, Mr. High and Mighty...WHAT A JOKE!
Kanye West is the most self-absorbed, blind, ignorant jerk in the music world. Why he behaves as thought people OWE him something just for existing is beyond me. Taylor didn't do anything to him, so why should she do anything to raise him up after he tried to drag her down?! Every time KW opens his mouth, he digs a deeper hole for his career, and people like him less and less.
kanye needs to drink a big cup of SHUT THE f..K UP!!!
First, he has no right to be angry at Taylor, much less *still* angry at her because *she* did nothing wrong. Second, why the f*** would she come to his defense on anything? #1 He deserves whatever anyone throws at him because he brings it all on himself for being such a d*uche, #2 Why would the bullied defend their bullier? Nothing that comes out of this dude's mouth makes any sense. And look at his ugly old face up there; you can tell he's a jerk just by looking at him.
you just might be a GAY FISH lol
i used to admire you dude,leave that fkn girl alone. why would she defend yo b?
Why should Taylor defend when you dissed her so many time, I'm telling you if that was me it wouldn't go down so easily. You're the biggest jerk to ever walk this planet. I'm sorry we've the same llast name you are a disgrace, a selfless pig. I hate you for this you don't deserve to be a star you're cold & heartless, you're mean and someday Taylors gonn be big enough so you can't pick on her again. You're a wimp who pick on people weaker & smaller than yourself. YOU NIPWIT. Just remeber what goes around musr=t come around, so do unto others as you'll like them to do unto you. Be careful what you did to her because someone else is going to do it to you & I hope they will, just to teach you a lesson..........
We the people need to teach Kanye Wst a lesson. This is the scond he did this to that poor little innocent girl. I think we should all stop buying and selling his albums and act like he doesn't exit for a while to let him know we're serious. Kanye need to keep his MOUTH SHUT and leave Taylor Swift alone, she didn't do anything to him. Why his he taking set on her, if I was Taylor I won't let him walk awasy with a just a pad on his shoulder this I would've tell off. He's just a bitter old man who prey fter young & talented people. Kanye you're a disgrace to the WEST name/family I'll never forgive you for his you S.O.B
So weird.
Can he just not "shut the hell up!"? Why should SHE come to HIS defense? I think just the fact that she didn't slap the hell out of him when he got onstage during one of the biggest moments of her life speaks alot of her character. She may not have spoken out in defense of him, but she didn't go around bad mouthing him either. I really thought he was truly sorry after all of this and bought the "act" he put on about how his mother would have felt about his behavior but now I am second guessing it. I know "Freedom of speech, blah, blah, blah" but just because he has that freedom doesn't mean he should abuse someone with it. "Never miss a good chance to shut up." ~Will Rogers
kanye needs to shut the hell up...no one likes him...his music is gaaaaaaawd awful and his ego is so big that it fills his entire airways...this guy is an idiot for thinkin that he can get away w/ talkin trash...what a piece of GARBAGE!! Karma will take care of him. --G
Why should or would she come to his aid? He dist her for all the world to see & he wants her to kiss his uh-huh? Would be a cold day in h e l l !
you're an idiot kanye. matt lauer has you on for your ignorance, not your music or fashion. that should tell you something. "I pity the fool" mr. T
Just ignore this idiot!! He cant stand that the whole world doesn't walk to his beat. He needs to shut his mouth.
oh kanye, go sit down somewhere and get a life..or go to sleep or something just get off of taylor's back. she got famous ckuz she's very good at what she does
Oh Kenya, grow up and act like a man, not a winey little kid. You started this anyway.
He is just mad she's better than him!! If it did make her more famous(which it did NOT!) It's his fault anyway!!! He needs to shut his mouth and stop trying to get attention!!!
Why does he still opening that mouse! He should be looking for somewhere to hide... He wants that taylor defend him? PLEASE, JUST STOP... ANYONE CAN EAR THE STUPID THINGS YOU SAY ANYMORE SO SHUT UP. If you were smart you would never say a word about the "incident" at VMA the world will never forget but you can pretend that we did. Show a some brain and just be quiet!
he's going to gripe about her using the VMA brouhaha to bolster her fame? why shouldn't she after what he did? (not saying that she did.)he's a real piece of work!
Also, just shut up Kanye and stick to singing alone.
