Oh, here we go again! As if his infamous Taylor Swift diss at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards wasn't enough, rapper Kanye West is at it again... this time targeting several fellow members of the music industry who he believes are "sell outs." Obviously West has much love for Jay-Z, but Justin Timberlake and all that "Suit & Tie" jazz... well, Kim K's beau just "ain't fu##ing with that." West not only blasts Swift and Timberlake, but he also takes aim at the Grammys and Recording Academy. Continue reading to check out West's rather amusing onstage rant at the Hammersmith Apollo in London on Saturday (Feb. 23).

Following his performance of "Clique," West confronts the crowd, and delves into a rather extensive rant about "selling out" in the recording industry. Here's the watered-down version:

"I'm here for the creativity more than anything because creativity fuels everything... I hate business people... Remind me again why we in this sh##? Since when was making money/art about getting rich? Tell the Grammys they can suck my di##... I got love for the Hov but I ain't fu##ing with that 'Suit & Tie.'

Can I sell your drink for you please? So you can help me put on a better show. Please corporations? Can you please support me, Please? Me, Kanye West? I swear I'm a nice n*##a now. I swear I'll put the pink polo back on. I swear to you. Please? Just for three million dollars. I need it so bad. I need a new pool in my back yard. So I'll tell all my fans your sh## is cool. And if they believe in me they should also believe in you... Did we you the check yet? Did the corporation send the check yet? What's my public rating right now? Are people liking me again? Enough to get some money from the corporations? Are they liking me now? They forgot about the whole Beyonce thing right? Ok cool. Is it okay now?"

As many fans know, several artists promote big-name beverage companies, such as Beyonce for Pepsi and Justin Timberlake for Bud Light Platinum...

Just watch the clip below and see for yourself:

Oh, and of course West had to throw in a "Beyonce is better than Swift" diss in another music bizz rant during a different set:

How does this concert "speech" compare to West's onstage bomb of Swift at the VMAs?
