The 34-year-old rapper 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 I'm (expletive) insane, like I'm 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 women's 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. It's 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 doesn't care about black people" during a Hurricane Katrina telethon..

At the music festival, West talked about some of his awards show drama, saying some of his sponsorships were canceled as a result..

But West closed his show on a positive note by paying tribute to Amy Winehouse..

West, who said he met the late singer a few years ago during Paris fashion week, played snippets of Winehouse's "Tears Dry On Their Own" and "Back to Black." He said it was "beautiful" to meet the performer and that she was "amazing.".

Then, in Kanye fashion, he began to rant..

"Thank you for protecting your artists that are still here," he said to the crowd. "This is for McQueen, for Amy, for Michael and for all the media, can you lighten up on all your artists that are still here?" he asked, receiving a roaring cheer from the crowd and leaving the stage with his 3-man band and 20-something backup dancers..

The reason Jordan made a difference was because he was the best, and he never liked to go around telling people that. He just played the game and shut his mouth. And he was in Space Jam.

You are right, he was that way back in his playing days. Wish he would have been like that during his Hall of Fame speech. While the others didn't gloat, and thanked many people for helping them to become what they were, Jordan mostly just bragged about how great he was, thanking a few people, but not many, not even his fans. I lost alot of respect for him after that. Below is his Hall of Fame speech for anyone who hasn't already heard it.

Will this 34 year-old child ever grow up? Even Eminem realized that dissing teenage pop stars in his rap songs when he's now pushing 40 was childish. Put your big-boy pants on and get over yourself! Oh, and his rap on Katy Perry's "ET" made the song sound even worse!
