a kanye

When you do something first, but some else uses it and lots of people think they were the original.

example 1: When kanye sampled daft punk on stronger, person 1: “Hey have you heard of daft punk?”

person 2: “aren’t those the guys that stole from kanye and became popular.”

person 1: “what a kanye!”

example 2: when you say a joke and no one hears you, but someone says it louder and everyone laughs

A kanye moment

When some random asshole interrupts you while you are talking or explaining something and they say something like, "well I/someone else did that better!"

Person1: Hey everybody I just scored a 31 on my ACT!

Person2: Well my friend got a 33!

Person1: why you gotta always start a kanye moment!

a Kanye West

An incident when somebody takes to the stage to correct somebody else, even though no one ever asks them too (especially Beyonce).

A: I'm so worried about my group mate. I think he will screw up our presentation tomorrow.
B: Don't worry, if you sense something wrong, do a Kanye West.

Pull A Kanye

To interrupt someone while they are talking and than using that moment to voice your praise about someone else.

Refers to an incident at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when rapper Kanye West hijacks Taylor Swift's moment (after she won the award for best female video) and using it to praise Beyonce.

Example 1:

Connor: Welcome to Olive Garden, what can I do...
Erick: Yo Connor, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish... but Tanner was one of the best servers of all time... one of the best servers of all time!
Me: Look at Erick pull a Kanye

Example 2:

Cyrus: Dude, did you hear about Andrew... hes in a coma
Chris: Yo Cyrus, I'm sad for Andrew and I'mma let you finish... but Minh was in one of the best comas of all time... one of the best comas of all time!
Cyrus: You just had to pull a Kanye didn't ya?

Doing A Kanye

Doing a Kanye is to think something is the total opposite of what is actually is.

pull a kanye

to pull a kanye is to rudely interupt someone
esp. when by doing so you take the moment away from them or steal the limelight
this is derived from MTV's VMAs 2009 when Kanye West famously got on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for 'best female artist video' and took the microphone from her stating that Beyonce instead deserved the award.

Paul: yo did you see that dude pull a kanye last night?

Steve: yeah he really ruined the night for that little girl

I was at a really boring awards ceremony last night and almost couldn't resist getting onstage to pull a kanye
