West received light boos from the crowd as a result. Yeah, that's the historical judgment on Hitler. Misunderstood.

McQueen? He means Alexander McQueen, the designer who took lots of drugs and hung himself. What Kayne means by asking the media to "lighten up on all your artists that are still here" is to say nice, complimentary things only, scurry over when called, and vanish when dismissed. And don't judge! There's nothing worse than being judgmental, you know. Not that he's judging. That would be, you know, Hitlerian.
