Kanye West has been one of the defining artists of the last 10 years, releasing a string of stunning albums, starting with 2004's College Dropout through last year's 808s & Heartbreak. Even the least-charitable among us would have to say that the Louis Vuitton Don has had a pretty great decade.
But even the most charitable among us would have to say that dude has had a pretty rough year. And the folks over at Failblog agree -- they've made Kanye's Taylor Swift-Bumrush at the 2009 MTV VMAs the Fail of the Year. Kanye's crowning as fail king tops a list featuring such moments/persons of infamy like Christian Bale's Terminator set meltdown and former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich attempt at selling a United States Senate seat.
Despite the relative levels of fail achieved in those acts, Kanye tops them all. The stage-rush that started a million Internet memes was voted the Fail of the Year.
Let's go back down memory lane and relive a moment Kanye West would like to forget. And let's hope '10 brings more music and less fail from a prolific artist.
