'That's my fault for dropping Watch the Throne and Dark Fantasy the same year,' Yeezy tells fans about coveted Grammy nom.By Rob Markman

Everyone knows that Kanye West takes his awards very seriously, but those who were expecting a Yeezy meltdown for his Grammy Album of the Year snub will be disappointed.
On Thursday during the Chicago stop of 'Ye and Hov's Watch the Throne Tour, the hometown MC, who is leading the 2012 nominees with seven Grammy nods, addressed the crowd.
"Something I figured out earlier today, because you know everybody came to me last night like, 'Congratulations,' because you know I'm leading — I have the most Grammy nominations once again, like we always do at this time," Kanye said, drawing thunderous applause from the United Center crowd.
"But, you know, people focus, they say, 'You ain't have Album of the Year or Record of the Year,' " he continued as the fan cheers quickly turned to disapproving boos.
Then the outspoken rap star did the unexpected. Instead of sending shots toward the Grammy committee, Kanye blamed himself: "I figured it out though. That's my fault for dropping Watch the Throne and Dark Fantasy the same year. I should've just spaced it out, just a little bit more."
In November 2010, 'Ye released his fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,. The platinum LP was both critically acclaimed and a commercial success thanks to surefire singles like the rambunctious "Power," the reflective sing-along "Runaway" and "All of the Lights," which is nominated for Song of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Nine months after MBDTF, in August 2011, the Louis Vuitton Don hooked up with Jay-Z to release their tag-team album Watch the Throne. Both Yeezy LPs are nominated in the Best Rap Album category, but neither is in contention for the coveted Album of the Year Award. Instead Adele, the Foo Fighters, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Rihanna will duke it out for the golden gramophone. Surprisingly Kanye West isn't sweating it, though. "Don't worry because me and Hov are gonna keep on making sh--," he said to the crowd.
Does this mean we can expect a Watch the Throne sequel? Guess we'll have to wait till next year to see.
What do you think of Kanye's reaction? Should he have spazzed? Tell us in the comments!
