Youtube, Muchmusic, Xfm (here in the UK) for music videos, as well as Itunes, Podcasts, blogs, Twitter, Myspace etc for other major music exposure, there's no need for an MTV, and quite frankly no one even gives a flying fuck what they think or promote. They're no longer the cool rock/rap/alternative channel admired for their unique overhaul of mainstream pop.

They're now a channel for upper class spoilt teens that have rich mummys and daddys, and their main criteria for shows are ones of how young kids have parties costing more than the average person can earn in his young adult life (my super sweet 16), shows about how they have more money than you, bigger, better houses than you (Cribs) and about rich, bland wannabe celebrities and cheesy forced reality shows that make WWE's Cryme Time seem more raw n real than 2Pac. No longer is it Beavis & Butthead, Daria, celebrity death match, as fillers in between music videos. I loved MTV back in the day, and they even had some glimmer of hope with the additions of Punk'd, but the channel simply sucks now

It wont hurt Kanye, as plenty of other places as shown above, then some will gladly air the video
