I know its been out a couple days but still had to post this and the funniest reaction I have read so far. Some creative producers have once again took his acapellas and crafted beats around it.
I don’t think I have heard a rap song played this much.. ever. At this point did they even need a video?

This pig needs to be locked away forever. A special prosecutor must be brought on to handle this case, which guarantees nothing but at the minimum this should happen.

Jack Black says leave Kanye alone on Conan.
Lupe went in.
The mass distraction tactics are in full effect courtesy of the Kardashian Klan. First Kim K. announces she is pregnant with baby number two, and now we have Bruce announcing him self as ‘Caitlyn Jenner’. With all this adulation for his transformation there is no mention in any interviews of him being sued for killing someone in a tragic car accident in February. The matrix is alive and well and working to perfection.

NEW YORK, N.Y.—Speaking publicly for the first time since completing gender transition, Caitlyn Jenner compares her emotional two-day photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for the July cover of Vanity Fair to winning the gold medal for the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics. She tells Pulitzer Prize–winning V.F. contributing editor and author of Friday Night Lights Buzz Bissinger, “That was a good day, but the last couple of days were better. . . . This shoot was about my life and who I am as a person. It’s not about the fanfare, it’s not about people cheering in the stadium, it’s not about going down the street and everybody giving you ‘that a boy, Bruce,’ pat on the back, O.K. This is about your life.”
How did he forget to add the rash of police shootings of unarmed black men and women (and the US becoming a certified police state) to his list of things more important than the Kardashians? Maybe I have my priorities wrong. Then again I live in the real world.

King Noble gives a scathing response to the recently released video from Anonymous (though their official twitter account denies any involvement and have distanced themselves totally) which targets mega super star Kanye West. The original video is after the cut..
When asked by Sway on his relationship with Jay Z, Dame unloads on Jay Z’s close relationship with a Desiree Perez who is a known DEA informant and according to reports works closely with athletes in Roc Nation Sports. Perez is the wife of longtime business partner OG Juan, who is rarely seen and never does interviews.
via DAILY NEWS
Court records obtained by The News show Perez was part of a massive cocaine distribution case in 1994. Following her arrest, she became a key government cooperator, going undercover to help the DEA build successful cases against major traffickers in Puerto Rico and Colombia.
Cooperation with the feds won her supervised release, but she went on the lam and then served nine months in prison.
Perez was a 26-year-old mother of young children in 1994 when she was arrested in New York for possession with intent to distribute 35 kilograms of cocaine, according to court records reviewed by The News.
SKIP to 54:30 for his stance on Jay Z.
Federal authorities charged she was part of a drug conspiracy stretching from New York to Florida to Puerto Rico.
She and co-defendant Amaury Lopez faced at least 10 years in prison (Lopez was supposedly one of at least three men to marry Perez since the late 1980s).

Kanye West debuted his Adidas Originals collection last week in Manhattan, and the reviews have been decidedly mixed. But the rapper-designer’s harshest critic could be New York Fashion Week creator Fern Mallis. “I’m kind of over Kanye,” she recently told Page Six. “I mean, I’m not a fan of his music, and the attitude and the agenda is not my style.” Now West has responded to Mallis’ criticisms via Twitter – using a zen-like tone.
This dude has obviously lost himself. The Kanye we knew a few years back is deceased and this attention whoring self proclaimed genius who drags a stoic faced baby to fashion week has taken over for good. RIP Kanye West.

So after finally reuniting at the B.E.T Honors Awards a few weeks ago, Dame and Ye’ sort of announce a partnership for a new film company. We’ll just have to sit back and wait to see if they are really serious about bucking the middleman and doing it on their own.

Definitely didn’t see this coming but damn everybody you can think of has gone to sit down with the Minister for one reason or another. Maybe they needed that old school wisdom on how to deal with Bruce Jenner becoming a woman.
Family Guy obviously had the early intel that Bruce wanted to be Barbara. Hit the jump to see how they hit the nail on the head of this strange story of the former Olympian who has decided to become a woman.

Kanye rapping > Kanye autotuned singing.
This is gonna definitely get some attention.
via Paper Mag
For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet. There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the web tick.
T-Pain has finally, once and for all ,proved that he is a true talent by singing some of his biggest hits without the use of autotune.
T-Pain’s fingerprints are all over pop and R&B and hip-hop. He wasn’t the first musician to use Auto-Tune as an instrument — he noticed it on a Jennifer Lopez remix, and remembers “Deep” well — but it was, as he says, his style. For a while, in the mid-2000s, he lived at the top of the charts. He dominated that brief moment of our lives when ringtones were a thing. He was celebrated as an innovator, and he happily took his talents where he was invited, which was everywhere.
But somewhere along the way, somebody got it twisted. “People felt like I was using it to sound good,” says T-Pain, in an interview that will air on All Things Considered. “But I was just using it to sound different.”
He just turned 30, but T-Pain has already done enough to drop a greatest hits album next week. We asked him if he’d grace the Tiny Desk without any embellishment or effects to show what’s really made his career: his voice, and those songs.–FRANNIE KELLEY
SET LIST
“Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin’)”
“Up Down (Do This All Day)”
“Drankin’ Patna”
This lady’s letter was very heartfelt and though she calls out Kanye for being MIA when it comes to the important issues going on in Ferguson and across the country, to which even our President has had to discuss on occasion, she did it with intelligence love and with no judgement. Sadly Ye’ seems to be more concerned with the worship of Kim K. and making sure she is viewed as a fashion icon, his own problems behind the scenes within the lily white fashion industry, and being viewed as a genius than the plight of the black community. Hopefully his silence is just temporary and he makes some strong statements in his new music releasing sometime soon.

Dear ‘Ye,
You have spent much of your career defying naysayers and the standards people have set for you. You refused to be intimidated by guys on the South Side of Chicago for your creativity. You broke free of being only a producer when you proved Jay Z wrong and became one of the biggest names in rap music. When music executives tried to control the content of your music, you released the now-infamous “Jesus Walks.” When Nike would not give you creative control over Yeezys, you took a deal with Adidas instead.
You are, by definition, defiant. And I love that about you.
Chris Brown let’s it fly when it comes to Harvey Levin.
“What the devil looks like in person,” captioned Chris Brown along with a photo of Harvey Levin. “Lol. You sad little man. You’ve been trying for years to destroy me. It won’t work. Your efforts are flattering.
This should be the model for every rapper who comes from poverty stricken areas,who have found success and can now use their power to do some goods in their hoods.

Kudos to the owner of the restaurant who took the steps to protect his workers, because we all know the bullets are flying daily in Chicago.
via CHICAGO (CBS) — While out on an unrelated assignment, CBS 2 investigative reporter Dave Savini decided to stop by a South Side Subway sandwich shop for a meal. Savini was struck by the fact that the counter of the store at 116th Street and South Halsted was encased in bullet-proof glass. Such a sight would be common at crime magnets like gas stations or currency exchanges, but a Subway? Continue reading
Kim Kardashian taught her. The anything goes to get rich and famous in the world of reality television, continues with Love and Hip Star Mimi Faust releasing a sex tape with her boyfriend with Vivid honcho Steven Hirsh (who is the mastermind behind the celebrity sex tapes we have seen for the past decade and a half) laughing all the way to the bank. I guess the ratchetness of Love and Hip wasn’t enough and the fact she has a young daughter didn’t matter in this decision.
“via TMZ
Love & Hip Hop” star Mimi Faust is finally making love not war — in a BRAND NEW SEX TAPE — and her partner in slime is her co-star and BF from the reality show.
Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch tells TMZ … he got hold of the sex tape starring Mimi and Nikko Smith, and then contacted them to sign off on it going public. He says “Love & Hip Hop” producers also gave their blessing … presumably in an effort to spice up the reality show for next season.
We’ve seen clips of “Mimi & Nikko: Scandal in Atlanta” … it’s the real deal and it’s intense. It’s scheduled for release later this month.
As the saying goes, when all else fails … make a sex tape.
