Kanye West known for his outbursts was the headline act at the Big Chill music festival Saturday night, where he ranted in the middle of his set about being misunderstood and underappreciated.I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like Im (expletive) insane, like Im Hitler, he said. One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did.West received light boos from the crowd as a result. The performer also defended the music video for his song Monster, which features cannibalism and girls hanging from their necks.Who saw the video before it got banned, before they took it down and before womens groups starting saying that a person that lost the most important woman in his life is now against women in some way? asked West, referring to the 2007 death of his mother Donda West.West, who started his set roughly 30-minutes late, apologized to the crowd for his tardiness, saying he needed to make sure his performance was great.Michael Jordan changed so much in basketball, he took his power to make a difference. Its so much (expletive) going on in music right now and somebody has to make a (expletive) difference, he said.The multiplatinum-seller is known for his outspokenness, most notably his diss toward Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where he grabbed the microphone from her as she accepted the award for best female video and said Beyonce should have won it. In 2005 he said George Bush doesnt care about black people during a Hurricane Katrina telethon.
