Kanye West has reacted furiously after a music critic gave a negative review to his live show.
Chris Wilson, a writer for Entertainment Weekly, had given West's Glow in the Dark tour a B+ and said the show - which also features Rihanna and N*E*R*D was "the ultimate ego-trip".
And in response, the Stronger star West has launched an expletive-laden retort on his blog.
"What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist," he wrote. "It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, f**k you and the whole f*****g staff."
Wilson had said of West's show: "In space, no one can hear you scream, but if you're West, everyone will hear you self-actualise."
But West said only a "very miserable person" could have produced such a cynical review.
"I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore," he continued.
"Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party b****. You don't know s*** about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're f****** trash.
"I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art."
West, who recently split with his fiancee, ended his tirade by telling Wilson to never attend one of his shows again.
"You're not invited and if you see me...BOW," he added.
