DEF JAM: NOT IN FRONT OF THE HOMOSEXUALS

Kanye West's stand in calling for an end to the lazy homophobia that ripples through hiphop was an indication that West sees his position as a top-selling artist as offering him an opportunity to do something a bit more than shag bitches and drink overpriced drinks. It turns out, though, that West might need to start putting his own house in order a little.

MTV's Gay TV network Logo - impressed by this support - wanted to return the favour by playing some Kanye on their network. Not the sort of market we want our artists in, they were told by Def Jam.

Patrick-Ian Polk, the man behind [logo urban show] Noah's Arc, doesn't have any beef with West himself, but issued a statement saying, "A lot of times, these requests don't make it to the artists, but [Kanye] needs to check his people, because that's not cool."

Of course, maybe Kanye would like to put his ass where his mouthaction is and do a live performance for them... meanwhile, maybe we should be asking Def Jam if there's any other people they'd like to refrain from buying their music.
