Kanye West Coached Prior To Today Show Interview With Matt Lauer

West had hired the firm to help him address the controversy involving President George W. Bush ... stemming from the rapper's comment alleging that Bush doesn't care about Black people, according to the NY Times.
According to reports, Kanye had cancelled his Today Show appearance the night before the interview, but the next day, he said he'd go on with the interview as planned. The PR firm didn't know that he had decided to make the appearance, so the firm was reportedly left scrambling to coach West before his sit-down with Lauer.
Kanye had tweeted that he wanted to do the interview to clear up the Bush controversy and that he came "with only positive intent."
After watching how the interview went, we all saw how Kanye was clearly flustered ... despite being coached. The rapper said things like, “Can we be quiet for a second?” and to Lauer he said, “I didn’t need you guys to prompt my emotions. I don’t need all the jazz.”
West has since cancelled his November 26 concert on The Today Show. No word on whether he'll go forward with his performance for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which will be hosted by Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera.
Do you think Kanye has a right to be upset with how the interview went?

So they were trying to coach him on not to act like an asshat.
the boy has no intelligence whatsoever!!!
Is he still planning on appearing on the cover of OUT magazine?
This assholes problem is his mouth....You talk shit and then you don't want to face the consequences........ you ramble on twitter like a two year old.......poor hard done by Kayne......EVERY ACTION HAS A REATION ......nobody cares about you asshole. (Shakes Head)
George Bush hates black people.
What he really wants to say is, "he hates white people". I'm sure he's been advised not to admit it, so the moron ends up stumbling around on questions pertaining to them. He's too full of hate to do right.
The best way for Kanye to improve his image is for him to just SHUT HIS MOUTH AND GO AWAY!
When is going to finally come out of the closet?
The only people who hated on black people were the Governor and the Mayor of Louisiana who didn't do their jobs to protect their own citizens. What do people not understand about how STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT works? Obviously a lot. Bush was not the problem during Katrina...the people governing Louisiana were the problem. Bush may be a lot of things, but a racist isn't one of them.
