Kanye West Calls Soulja Boy The New Nas

June 22nd, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Music, Who You Fooling?

Kanye West
Rap superstar Kanye West has written a post on his blog about the Ice-T vs. Soulja Boy beef. The Stronger hitmaker came to the defense of the 17-year-old rapper and said:

Soulja boy is fresh ass hell and is actually the true meaning of what hip hop is sposed to be. He came from the hood, made his own beats, made up a new saying, new sound and a new dance with one song. He had all of America rapping this summer. If that ain’t Hip Hop then what is? A bunch of wannabe keep it real rappers that ain’t even relevant, recycling samples trying to act like it’s 96 again and all they do is hate on new shit? Niggas always talk about the golden age but for a 13 year old kid, this is the golden age!!! That song was so dope cause everything he said had a hidden meaning… that’s Nas level shit… he just put it over some steel drums which is also some Nas shit if you had the 2nd album cassette with the bonus track “Silent Murder” on it. In closing… new niggas get ya money$$$$$$$$$$ Keep this shit fresh and original…. ain’t no fuckin’ rules to this shit and that’s what real hip hop is to me.

We don’t know about all that, but ultimately old school rappers are still the forefather of Soulja Boy’s nuts!

Kanye West’s Fashionably Late Show Angers Fans

June 16th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Music, We Got To Do Better

Kanye West
Rap star Kanye West was met with some hostility when he showed up two hours late for a concert, reports the Associated Press.

The “Louis Vuitton Don” was supposed to start his show at 2:45 a.m. yesterday, but he didn’t appear on stage at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo until 4:25 a.m. on Sunday morning.

The fans were seriously irate, chanting “Kanye sucks” and throwing glow sticks on the empty stage.

According to the festival organizers, the delay was caused by Kanye’s elaborately futuristic stage set, which took a while to throw up after Pearl Jam’s appearance.

Kanye West To Entertainment Weekly: Don’t Come To My Show!

May 5th, 2008 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Don't Be Jealous, Magazine, Music

Kanye West
Kanye West is none too happy about a B+ review of his Glow in the Dark tour in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.

The EW review by writer Chris Willman said Kanye’s tour “takes fans on a galactic voyage, folding his hits into a wacked-out space opera that’s the ultimate ego trip. Normally, that’d be an insult, but with West, who’s made an art form out of dramatizing both humility and hubris, it’s mission accomplished.”

Willman also took a jab at opening acts Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna.

He wrote, “Lupe Fiasco has the material to make good on his ‘next Kanye’ status, though he suffered from rapping to studio tracks (and ‘Kick, Push’ deserves more than a reduced medley slot). By contrast, N.E.R.D. rocked out with their full-band set; Pharrell Williams is no great singer, but he’s a great party starter. The glam Rihanna provided respite from all this testosterone and packed an undeniable string of hits into her half hour, moving smoothly through light choreography. But her should-be slam dunk, ‘Umbrella,’ felt off, with the rain-gear-wielding backup dancers working harder to sell the smash than she did.”

In a posting on his blog, The Louis Vuitton Don responded to the criticism with the following:

Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya’ll two cents in? Ya’ll rated my album shitty and now ya’ll come to the show and give it a B+. What’s a B+ mean? I’m an extremist. It’s either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn’t dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can’t have fun and lose yourself at this tour it’s a good chance you’re a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don’t know shit about passion and art. You’ll never gain credibility at this rate. You’re fucking 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. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you’re not invited and if you see me…BOW!! This is not pop, it’s pop art!

Kanye West Sued For Copyright Infringement

March 26th, 2008 | Posted in Bitch Better Have My Money, Celebrity Gossip, Celebrity News, Music

Kanye West
Kanye West has been accused of stealing the lyrics for his song “Good Life.”

A songwriter in Maryland claims the rapper “didn’t obtain a license” to sample his record Volume of Good Life for the track.

He also points out that Kanye West was “only at the age of six or seven years of age” when his song was written.

In the lawsuit filed in Maryland District Court last week, Dayna Staggs (aka D’Mystro) is demanding 85 percent of all world sales of the proceeds from Good Life, although he doesn’t explain how he arrived at that figure.

Representatives for Kanye West were unavailable for comment as of press time.
