During Ye’s Video Vanguard acceptance speech, he explained the emotional impact awards shows has on artists.
“I just, I sat at the Grammys and saw Justin Timberlake and Cee Lo lose. Gnarls Barkley and the ‘Sexyback’ album… Justin, I ain’t trying to put you on blast but I saw that man in tears bro. And I was thinking like, he deserved to win album of the year. And the small box that we are as entertainers of the evening, how could you explain that?” (“MTV Video Music Awards ’15”)
Ye also talked about the importance of all music nominees at awards shows.
“”I don’t understand how they get five people who work their entire life [to] sell records, sell concert tickets, to come stand on a carpet and for the first time in their life be judged on a chopping block and have the opportunity to be considered a loser.” (“MTV Video Music Awards ’15”)
