Patti LaBelle hails Kanye West

LaBelle praises Kanye West for telling the truth.

Last year Mr. West said that the president Bush doesnt care about black people.

Patti LaBelle said to MTV; "Kanye is somebody who I really love. He says things people should listen to. Rap does not have to be what some people perceive it's about. They think it's gonna be nasty, lowdown and dirty when it's just telling the truth about life itself. "You heard what Kanye said about the president - you know the boy tells nothing but the truth."

Wrong video nominated

Kanye West says his best music video wasnt recognized when he was nominated for 'Best Video' at MTV's Video Music Awards.

He was hoping that 'Touch the sky' with Pamela Anderson would be nominated instead of 'Golddigger'.

"It didn't get any nominations, but it's one of the most memorable videos of the year for me" Kanye said.

"Touch the Sky" is the fourth single released from Kanye West's second album, Late Registration. It was released in early 2006. The video is directed by Chris Milk who previously worked on West's award-winning "Jesus Walks" and the video for "All Falls Down."
