Beck was the talk of the Grammy Awards after his Morning Phase project won Album of the Year. The singer won over Beyonce's self-titled album, Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour, Ed Sheeran's X, and Pharrell Williams' Girl album. Beck's win shocked a lot of people, and it even surprised Beck, who told Billboard magazine he didn't expect to win the award. "It would be a surprise with this record, honestly," Beck told Billboard on the red carpet at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy event. While this was a shocking win for Beck, most people probably weren't shocked when Kanye West jokingly walked up the stairs during Beck's acceptance speech. West turned around and went back to his seat, and received a huge laugh by most people in the audience. Unbeknownst …show more content…
After Party that people realized Kanye West was not joking when he pretended to walk on stage and interrupt Beck's acceptance speech. "I don't know what he said, all I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more," West told E! at their after party. The rapper added, "Flawless, Beyonce video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyonce, and at this point, we're tired of it." West said the Grammys are continuing to diminish art, and it feels like a slap in the face. "What happens is, when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and snacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration," West said to E! He continued, "We, as musicians, have to inspire people who go to work every day and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place." Kanye West said he's here to fight for creativity, and that's he takes goes so hard in situations like this. "The Grammys do this whole promotional event, they'll run the music over somebody's speech, the artist, because they want commercial advertising. Like, no, we not playing with them no more," the rapper
“Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.” This mantra from Margaret Mead is a somewhat humorous yet slightly satirical spin on how people tend to think of themselves as one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable human specimens. However, one English teacher from Wellesley High School takes this critique one step further with his polemic presentation at the school commencement. David McCullough, a Massachusetts English teacher, gave a seemingly somber sendoff to his graduates in 2012, with a speech that contained some unapologetically harsh sentiments. However, by looking past the outwardly dismal surface of the speech, the students can infer a more optimistic message. By incorporating devices of asyndeton, paradox, antimetabole, and anadiplosis, McCullough conveys to each student that even though none of them is unique, their commonality is not a fault they all have merit and should strive to view the world through a more selfless lens.
Brene Brown main point about her speech is vulnerability. Her main point of this is to understand or know what he feel and to embrace that in us. We shouldn't brig ourselves down thinking that are emotions how we feel about things makes us weak. It makes us stronger and we realize how when we feel vulnerable we need to take action and defeat it. We also need to be aware that when people see that your vulnerability they can easily target you to bring you down making you feel less confident.

President Obama’s Address to the nation was presented on January 5, 2016. His speech was shown on all of the major network stations. The main goal of his speech was to get the point across to the nation about the increasing problem of gun use. His speech really focused on the issue of gun control and if it would benefit the country. Overall, the biggest idea of his Address was that gun control is a large issue in the United States. The way to prevent deaths caused by firearms can be prevented in other ways than taking peoples guns away. The examples brought up in this Address really stood out to me. The use of personal, national, and global examples really made his speech stronger on the topic of effectiveness.
The commencement speech given by David Foster Wallace in the autumn of 2005, is a very deep speech that examines the whole idea of a Liberal Arts education at an extremely deep and intellectual level. In the 22 minute long speech Wallace talks about how higher education not only teaches you to think but “how to exercise some control over how and what you think.” (Wallace). Wallace later in his speech stresses the importance of this level of thinking by saying “if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed” (Wallace) What he means by saying this is that if you cannot think at a higher level and make sense of real world problems your life will become meaningless and you will become dead inside your head.

He may just seem like another rapper to you but if you actually listen to his lyrics you can see he’s not like any rapper out there. His name is Kanye West and he was born in Chicago Illinois. He grew up in the “ghetto” and learned to appreciate life. He didn’t learn to really, truly appreciate life until October of 2002. Driving back to his hotel late one night after a recording session, the new-coming rap/hip-hop artist was involved in a devastating, near fatal car accident. The crash left him with a broken jaw in three places and an appreciation for life. Just weeks after being released from the hospital he recorded his first major hit, “Through the Wire,” with his mouth still wired shut. He records every song like its going to be his last song and that makes every song better than the last. He’s not only a rap artist but also a producer. He has been responsible for being behind songs like Jay-Z’s Izzo, Girls, Girls, Girls, The Takeover, and 03 Bonnie and Clyde.
Kanye starts off with,"I know Obama was heaven-sent / But ever since Trump won, it proved I could be president," then continues with, "Make America Great Again had a negative reception / I took it, wore it, rocked it, gave it a new direction / Added empathy, care, love and affection /
This rhetorical analysis of Jesse Williams’ acceptance speech for the humanitarian Award. The Rhetors for this speech would be Jesse Williams himself and also BET (Black Entertainment Television). This analysis focused more on the verbal symbols then the non verbal because it was such a important subject that had, and still is going on in American. Jesse Williams’ acceptance speech had focused on informing the world that something has to be done about the injustice in our police system, and also the wrongful doing against African Americans. This speech was given June 26th 2016 at the Microsoft Theater. Around this time mapping police violence shows that 36% of blacks were killed by police even though only 16% of African American take up the
The problem that laid in his way, was the social stigma at the time. In the early 90’s rap was dominated by the “gansta” rap scene. People like Tupac, Biggie and Dr. Dre ran the industry at that point and there was no room for Kanye and his pink polo. Kanye was seen as a producer first and foremost, since that’s what he was so good at and that’s all he had done up until that point. It wasn’t until the year 2000 that Kanye was brought onto Roc-A-Fella records with Jay-Z where his producing really started to shine. Helping produce Jay-Z’s 2001 album The Blueprint, the album was a huge success and lead to the revitalization of Jay-Z’s career. Kanye didn’t get a chance to make his own record until the following year (even though he had been working on it for almost 3 years now) when Roc-A-Fella finally gave him the go ahead. Kanye started his production of The College Dropout. It was also around this time that Kayne started a relationship with a girl named Alexis Phifer. Their relationship would be on and off again for the next few
In this case however under the circumstances that it was an award for humor there is leeway on how the speech could appropriately be delivered. He did a very good job at keeping the audiences attention throughout the whole speech even using aids such as his wife and other members in the crowd.
...audience laugh and pay better attention to his primary message. O’Brien is basically conveying to the viewers, that he has been through the same struggles they face everyday.
