TMZ is reporting that rap superstar Kanye West was arrested at LAX airport in Los Angeles for felony vandalism. According to the popular gossip site, Kanye allegedly confronted a paparazzo who was taking pictures of the hip-hop star at the American Airlines terminal early this morning. He allegedly smashed the photog’s camera to the ground, and his assistant subsequently smashed TMZ’s camera to the ground, breaking it. But there was still another TMZ camera on the scene, and when Kanye found out about it, he ran up to the guy behind the lens and yelled “Gimme that f**king tape!” Both Kanye and his assistant have been arrested and will apparently be booked.

While Kanye and his assistant shouldn’t have blown up and acted out in the way they did, I don’t believe they should have been arrested and booked. If anyone should have been arrested, it should have been the damn paparazzi! They take that sh*t too far sometimes, and Kanye could have been in the worst mood ever. Sometimes you just don’t want no damn camera in your face, and they should respect that. Kanye and his assistant aren’t the only wrong party in this situation. Doesn’t harassment come into play here somehow?

If you didn’t know Kanye West debuted a brand new song Sunday night at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, then your ass must have been under the biggest rock ever known to man! So welcome to the world, my friend. Anyway, the MP3 of “Love Lockdown” - the first single from Kanye’s 4th album, “808’s & Heartbreak,” which is set to be released December 16th 2008, has hit the net and we here at Gossip On This would love to know if you want to rock it, or do you want to drop it?

I’m gonna be real though. When I first heard the song Sunday night, I was like o_O … what the hell is this guy doing?! I thought it was a joke for the first couple of minutes. But I watched it again on Youtube and fell in love with it. But the MP3 just doesn’t cut it for me. It seems unfinished, like it’s missing something. I don’t even like the way it flows. The live version is so much better. He needs to go back into the studio and re-record it and make it sound like it did at the VMAs … real talk! But anyway…

KANYE WEST - “LOVE LOCKDOWN”:
ROCK IT OR DROP IT?
