In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."
"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," West said.
The rapper grabbed the Best Hip Hop award earlier in the night in a star-studded event hosted by Justin Timberlake in the Danish capital.
West has a particular affinity for the "Touch The Sky" video. In an interview with The Associated Press in August, he expressed his displeasure that the clip, an elaborate Evel Knievel spoof, didn't get nominated for an MTV Video Music Award.
"It didn't get any nominations, but it's one of the most memorable videos of the year for me," he told AP.
It's also not the first time he's had a meltdown at an awards show. At the 2004 American Music Awards, West bitterly complained backstage that he was robbed when he didn't win a trophy.

I think he's a very talented jackass. That's what I think. We're talking about an over-inflated sense of self-importance.

He speaks his mind even if he is wrong. He doesn't have the intellegence to back something up that he says. I personally don't like the guy he is so arrogant,he thinks he is just so talented but, he doesn't impress me at all. He needs to grow up, and think before words come out of his mouth. Jay Z is the same way

I dislike Mr. Kanye West, I do not agree with some of the messages he has realeased and I dislike his behavior. I think he over rates himself and lacks intellegence.

He speaks his mind, I don't see why people got so offended by his lil tirade, all he did was state the obvious =p

I personally can't stand him, and he doesn't have the right attitude. He sounds spoiled.

Quite frankly, he's way too full of himself, and that will be his downfall.
