Kanye West and 50 Cent square off for another chart showdown
Posted: September 20th, 2008, 7:42am CDT by Hot Momma
Tags: Kanye West
It’s on again! A new rap chart battle between Kanye West and 50 Cent will likely happen this December as both will release new albums. West won the last showdown when his album Graduation outsold 50’s Curtis last year (Sep07), after both records were released on the same day. Supposedly 50 said before the last album showdown: “If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on Sept. 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.”
And now the rappers are set for another pre-Christmas showdown, with Interscope record bosses confirming 50’s new album, Before I Self Destruct, will hit stores on December 9, (08) - a week before the release of West’s 808’s & Heartbreak.
Both rappers are warming up for the showdown. At a show in Albany, New York, 50 jokingly performed a bit of West’s recent single, “Love Lockdown,” while G-Unit member Tony Yayo pretended to smash a camera, referring to West’s arrest after a confrontation with paparazzi in Los Angeles last week.
West has already taken to his blog posting on Friday in good humor: “I guarantee this (808’s & Heartbreak) will be 50’s favorite album of mine. This will be gangster’s album of the year.”
It’s still possible that one of the record labels might blink and change the release dates but somehow with so much pride on the line we doubt it.

Did Nicole Pull a Kanye at Fashion Week?

Could there be an epidemic of camera rage sweeping celebs?
The New York Post reports that Nicole Richie became so enraged when a Swedish fan tried to take her picture outside an after-party for Charlotte Ronson's show, that she "jumped over the velvet rope, ripped the camera out of the girl's hand, and smashed it to the ground," and screamed "I am not an animal!"
Really?
Does that sound like the new mellowed-out mama?

Kanye West at Fashion Week on 9/8/08. Credit: Janet Mayer / PR Photos
Kanye West had plenty of time today to enthuse about the latest in art, fashion and music - or at least to post links and photos for the stuff, but so far all he’s only written two lines on his blog about the incident at LAX yesterday which resulted in his arrest:“We back in the lab!!! I’m cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn’t cool. I gotta work now… I’ll rant later!” [From Kanye West’s official blog]
Kanye was videotaped throwing down a paparazzo’s camera at the airport on Thursday morning. His road manager approached another photographer videotaping the scene and then smashed his camera to the ground. The police came and arrested the two, and according to an eyewitness photographer’s account, shown on TMZ, Kanye lunged at him when he heard that he had video of the incident and had to be restrained by the cops.
Kanye and his road manager were arrested for felony vandalism and released on $20,000 bail. Kanye apparently had enough time to post 12 other brief entries on his blog today about art and fashion, but couldn’t be bothered to take the time to explain what happened yet. It’s more important for Kanye to cement his status as a trend setter than set the record straight on his biggest PR disaster. He probably has someone else posting that other stuff, though, and maybe he’ll soon explain what went down in his half-caps flow of consciousness style. The paparazzi can be incredibly invasive and obnoxious, but Kanye’s behavior has just shown that he can dish it out but he can’t take it.
Here’s the video of what happened:

Kanye West Fights Back

Tags: Kanye West
Kanye West was arrested and later released on bail yesterday after what police are charging as “felony vandalism.”
On Thursday, TMZ.com reported that West was arrested after grabbing a camera — valued at more than $10,000 — that belonged to a member of the paparazzi and throwing it to the ground, smashing it.
This goes to show you that Kanye is more than a simple money grabbing whining baby whore –he’s also sincere. Only a man with a big heart would observe 9/11 by opting to obstain from the public eye and then throwing a beat down at the airport. Bravo.

Kanye's bodyguard Don Crowley just got taken into the LAPD Pacific Division in cuffs, after his altercation with a photographer at LA International Airport this morning.
The police department says Kanye's already inside the department building -- probably bailing himself out, according to what the Pacific Division's Sgt. Probst told me earlier:
- "He's got about a million billion dollars, so he'll probably bail out. I doubt he wants a jail burrito for dinner."
- Entertainer Kanye West and Don Crowley, his road manager and body guard, were arrested at Los Angeles International Airport, today by Los Angeles World Airports Police following an altercation with two members of the paparazzi. The incident occurred at 7:51 a.m.
West and Crowley were at Terminal 4 to depart on a flight to Honolulu. In the public area prior to passenger screening, they were met by a photographer and videographer who were taking their photos. An altercation ensued between the two cameramen, West and Crowley.
The cameras of the paparazzi were damaged in the altercation.
West and Crowley were taken into custody, each charged with felony vandalism. Airport Police had initially received the call as also involving a potential battery. However, following initial investigation, it was determined that no battery occurred.
Both men have been transported to Los Angeles Police Department Pacific Division for booking.

Kanye West is under arrest - UPDATE

Tags: Kanye West
Kanye West arrestedKanye West was arrested earlier this morning at LAX after basically jumping a paparazzo. Apparently Kanye didn’t want his picture taken so he “rushed” a photographer, took his camera, and smashed it to the ground. TMZ videographer “Erik” caught it all on tape which didn’t sit well with Kanye’s assistant, who then grabbed the camera and smashed it to the ground. TMZ continues:
Erik says Kanye then tried to leave to board his plane, but cops stopped him before he got to security. The cops then interviewed Erik, the still photog, Kanye and his assistant. This is where it gets crazy. The cops asked Erik if he videotaped the incident and Erik said he had. That’s when Kanye lunged toward him and said, “Give me the fucking videotape.” Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik. (Source)
LAX spokesman Marshall Lowe told People:
“Mr. West was arrested at 7:51 a.m. outside the passenger screening area by airport police on charges of vandalism. Initial reports say this incident involved a paparazzo and a camera valued at more than $10,000. In addition, Mr. West’s road manager was arrested for vandalism and battery. Several witnesses are being interviewed by police. West and his manager are being transported to an LAPD station where they’re expected to be booked.” (Source)
Being arrested is a pretty shitty way to miss your flight. One time I missed a flight because I overslept. Most exciting story ever? Yes, yes it is.
UPDATE: Now with video!

Kanye West was arrested today at LAX for suspicion of vandalism after an altercation with a photographer according TMZ whose photographer captured it.
Erik says he was at Terminal 4 (American Airlines) when he noticed a still photog taking several pictures of Kanye West. Erik says West rushed the photog and grabbed his camera. A struggle ensued and the still guy was screaming, "Police, help!" Erik says Kanye then took the still camera and threw it on the ground, breaking it into pieces.
Erik then went over to Kanye, his camera rolling, when Kanye's bodyguard walked up to him, realized Erik was taping, and said, "Give me the camera, give me the camera." Erik responded that he had a press pass and had a right to shoot. The assistant then grabbed the camera, ripped off the mic and viewfinder and smashed it to the ground.
Erik says Kanye then tried to leave to board his plane, but cops stopped him before he got to security. The cops then interviewed Erik, the still photog, Kanye and his assistant..
This is where it gets crazy. The cops asked Erik if he videotaped the incident and Erik said he had. That's when Kanye lunged toward him and said, "Give me the fu***ng videotape." Cops had to restrain Kanye as he tried coming at Erik.
About time he was arrested, I can't wait for the mugshot and what stupid thing he is going to say about it!!!

Kanye West Has No Shame

Kanye West, despite his tough “I am amazing and deserve nothing less than all of your praise” exterior reveals a little portion of his flaky side.
A year after vowing never to perform on the MTV Video Music Awards again, hip-hop star Kanye West will close the show’s 25th annual ceremony in Hollywood on Sunday, joining a lineup that includes Christina Aguilera and the Jonas Brothers, organizers said.
West also failed to win any prizes, and accused the music cable network of exploiting Britney Spears, who inadvertently stole the show by badly lip-synching and dancing to her new tune.
“Money is money” seems to always be the media industry’s motto. When you have an opportunity to whore yourself out to a bunch of screaming teens you do it, and regardless of all the panting and heavy petting, you have to make like a girl and act like you didn’t like it. When they decide to eventually rear their ugly head around again, you make sure you’re desprite and horny enough to take it…Wait, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, Kanye West. You hypocrite, you.

Honestly-I’m, so effing content with SNL’s choice of guests on their season opener on Sept. 13.
Michael Phelps as the host and Lil’ Wayne as the musical guest. That’s so amazing. Lil Wayne is one of MY favorite rappers. He fits in after Kanye and Lupe. But he’s better than 50, or Jay-Z or YES even Tupac. I love Lil Wayne just as much as Michael Phelps does.
Did you know that before winning the races Phelps plays Lil Wayne’s I’m Me on his iPod. Ever since then, right before I head to the gym…I play it too!
So I hope this SNL episode will be amazing. Michael Phelps, you better be funny!

Kanye West’s awesome new puppet music video
Posted: August 13th, 2008, 2:37am CDT by JayBird
Tags: Kanye West
Just when I think I can write Kanye West off as a completely narcissistic jerk, he does something so awesome that it reminds me why he is so successful despite his massive ego: he is really, really good at what he does. He talks himself up more than anyone I can think of, but he can back it up, it’s that simple.
Kanye’s video for his latest single champion just came out, and it completely shocked me. Why? Because Kanye himself isn’t in it at all: instead it features an amazingly realistic Kanye puppet. Before you judge and think puppets aren’t cool, watch the video. Because this is easily the hippest, most musically-inclined puppet since Rowlf the Dog. The video is charming, funny, and all-around down to earth – which is sort of ironic since the lyrics are all about how awesome Kanye is.
That Kanye West. He’s always got something new to entertain us.
The video for “Champion” not only gives in to our current Olympic fever (Michael Phelps, yeah!) but also a deep-seated love for all things puppets developed over the course of a childhood filled with Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.
In fact, we believe there are not enough puppets at work in Hollywood, so we hope an endorsement from Kanye will change all that. Give the video a view and try to tell us Puppet Kanye isn’t the most adorable thing ever.
[From E! News]
The idea of Kanye West being willing to hand over his music video and his likeness to a puppet shows that he doesn’t actually take himself quite as seriously as we all thought – or that he’s at least smart enough to know when to chill out and just have fun with his music. Thanks to Vimeo for the video.

Sick of hearing Kanye West talk about himself? Well, you might want to cancel your subscription to HBO - the pay network is developing a show with the chart-conquering rapper!
Entertainment Weekly reports that HBO has moved forward in their plans to create a single-camera show following Mr. West through his busy days and dealing with his family and friends. According to a key insider, the network is currently searching for a writer to help bring the as-yet-unnamed project to life.
But Kanye won't be the only star to be working on the project - HBO wants to team him up with Curb Your Enthusiasm executive producer Larry Charles! Hey, if you're gonna try to put together a single-camera show, you might as well work with the master of the form!
Maybe HBO can get Larry David to swing by for a guest appearance - although between Larry and Kanye, we're not sure who would stop talking first!

There will always be haters, but how can you hate on Kanye West now?
The sensational rap superstar and MTV’s own Sway Calloway recently visited three young veterans who just arrived home from Iraq. Kanye and Sway surprised them at their homes and were there to listed to the stories of these soldiers. MTV captured these moments and will air them on July 28th. I will def. be watching.
And you know what’s the coolest part? On behalf of MTV and the Dr.Donda West Foundation, the guys paid off the debts of each veteran and took care of their rent/tuition. I think that’s a beautiful gift. Hell, I’ll probably shed some tears when I watch this. Kanye released a statement:
“There are hundreds of veterans out there who are falling through the cracks. They make the ultimate sacrifices for us by laying down their lives, but it seems like a lot of them just get forgotten about. I know my music inspires and helps a lot of people, but you can always do more. I teamed up with MTV and took the opportunity to share the spotlight with these veterans and hear their stories. I went to their homes to listen and get their firsthand experiences. I wanted to hear their stories.”
Well put Kanye, well put.

NO ANGER MANAGEMENT… IF ANYTHING I NEED ANGER ENHANCEMENT! LOL!!!
07.07.2008Now the media is saying I’m going to anger management something or ‘nother. I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!! lol! I get off the plane in Hawaii today and the world is saying my management team said blah blah blah… SIIIIIIGGGHHHH! I told the media you can’t make up lies about me because I have a media outlet myself. Oh and sidebar I don’t know if everyone has realized this yet but I don’t do interviews if there’s anything I wanna say I’ll say right here on my own blog.
Check this out…I took a quote from my rant and used it as my headline.. just like a real media outlet would… hahaha
Yes Kanye. You are very very funny. Why don’t you start a tabloid that will be dedicated to you? You can rant as much as you want and then be like: HAHA BITCHES WHAT NOW? I JUST MADE A RUMOR ABOUT ME AND IT’S NOT EVEN TRUE.
The name of the tabloid could be: I WRITE IN CAPS BITCH!

Kanye's got a blog, and he's not afraid to use it!
The rapper just unleashed this rant about his performance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, where angry fans started throwing stuff on stage after he went on late - very very late.
Says Kanye:
"I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don't like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I've ever had in my life. This is the most offended I've ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I'm typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL! THIS SHOWS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO BE GOOD AT SOMETHING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE THERE TO LIE ABOUT YOU AND BRING YOU DOWN! LIKE WAYNE SAYS PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME DOWN CAUSE I'M FLYING! I'M FUCKING HURT BY THIS ONE. ALL I CARE ABOUT ARE THE FANS. JUST SAY THIS OUT LOUD IN A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE, "KANYE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT GIVING A GOOD PERFORMANCE." CAN ANYONE HONESTLY SAY THAT ????????? HAS ANYONE EVEN TAKEN THE TIME TO AT LEAST DO THE MATH??? BONNAROO SHOULD HAVE RELEASED A STATEMENT IN MY DEFENSE BUT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T LET'S BREAK DOWN THE WALLS ON THIS TRUMAN SHOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY OCCURRED!!! FOR OVER A MONTH WE WENT BACK AND FORTH ON WETHER OR NOT WE COULD EVEN FIT MY STAGE AT THE FESTIVAL. ONE DAY THEY WOULD SAY YES… WE'D SEND THEM OUR SPECS THEN THEY THEY'D SAY OK… THEN THEY WOULD SEND SPECS BACK THAT DIDN'T FIT THE STAGE. WE WERE OBVIOUSLY DEALING WITH FUCKING IDIOTS WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO REALLY PUT ON THIS SHOW PROPERLY. THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT'S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN'T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE'RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, " IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!" I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV?????? WHEN I GOT 2 "THROUGH THE WIRE" I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN'T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT'S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I'VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT'S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IT BROKE MY HEART THAT I COULDN'T GIVE THESE FANS STRONGER IN IT'S GREATEST FORM… BY THE TIME I GOT TO STRONGER IT WAS DAYTIME AND IT BROKE MY HEART. I'M SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT I DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY 2 GIVE THE PERFORMANCE I WANTED TO. I'M SORRY… SOMETIMES I GO 2, 3 DAYS W/O SLEEP WORKING ON MY PERFORMANCE… I HAVE TO ICE MY KNEES AFTER EVERY SHOW AND THEY HURT WHEN I WALK THROUGH THE AIRPORT… HAVING AN EXPENSIVE STAGE CUTS MY PAYDAY IN HALF… CALL ME WHAT YOU WANT BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN'T GIVE MY ALL!!!"Damn.
That's A LOT OF CAPS.
Guess he really meant it.

Kanye Needs To Eat A Dick!

Kanye is not on team Ice!
Mr. West has taken to his blog to come out in support of marginally talented and incredibly annoying rapper Soulja Boy.
Says Kanye:
"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."
Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Kanye West back to being an arrogant diva
Posted: May 4th, 2008, 1:21pm CDT by JayBird

After his mother died, Kanye West seemed to have changed. There seemed to be an air of humility around him, and a newfound respect for people. Somehow the mountain of arrogance seemed to have abated a bit, which could only be a good thing. But it appears that whatever bit of dignity and self-restraint visited Kanye was only stopping by for the weekend, as he’s very much back to his conceited, egotistical rantings.
Entertainment Weekly reviewed Kanye’s Glow in the Dark tour on Friday, giving it a B+. And Entertainment Weekly can be pretty stingy with its reviews – a B+ is something to be pretty happy about. And if nothing else, it’s best to have some grace and manners about the whole thing, no? But those are two words that have never crossed Kanye West’s lips. Here’s a few highlights from the review:
For his headlining chunk of the Glow in the Dark Tour, Kanye West also 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…
…Okay, so he’s a nut. Still, West’s commitment to communicating inner passions and identity crises is so consuming it nearly redeems any conceptual hokeyness. Eschewing hip-hop’s buddy system, West is his stage’s sole visible human, and he’s become a riveting soliloquist. Crouching on one knee, broken up, during ”Hey Mama” — or pacing like a prizefighter during every other number — he gets you caught up in his journey to the center of the id and pulls off something rare: an intimate spectacle.
[From Entertainment Weekly]
Now keep in mind that by most accounts, Kanye’s show is a massive ego trip and has a good deal of cheese to it. A spaceship named Jane talks to him and ”We need the brightest star in the universe — you, Kanye! Only you can bring us home. You can glow in the dark!” Supposedly the show is so good that you can overlook the occasional cheese though. It seems like the writer gave Kanye a pretty good review, considering most of us can’t look past the ego that he forces in our faces. Yet here was how Kanye chose to respond on his blog at KanyeUniverCity.
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!
[From KanyeUniverCity]
What a fabulous way to seem like an ungrateful asshole. And to prove the reviewer right. In fact it seems like Entertainment Weekly soft-peddled Kanye’s ego a bit. So he made sure to remind us all exactly how great he is. It doesn’t seem to occur to him that just because he’s a self-proclaimed extremist, and it’s all-or-nothing with him, doesn’t mean the rest of the world has to adjust their views to be in line with that.
As shocking and upsetting as it is, someone’s allowed to think Kanye is mediocre. The funny thing is that EW didn’t even say that – what they wrote was pretty generous. But I’ll go out on a limb here and say there’s no performance in the universe that could be good enough to merit this level of ego. So I’ll reserve my bows for now.
Here’s Kanye arriving at GOA nightclub for his ‘Glow In The Dark Tour’ party in Los Angeles on April 22nd. Images thanks to WENN.

He's Still The Greatest

It was his diva weekend!
Kanyeizzle is taking to his blog to explain walking offstage at his Houston concert this past weekend and to sorta apologize for his rant against Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Oh, yeah, and he also took it as opportunity to remind us all (once again) how great he is!
Says Kanye:
"HOUSTON I LOVE YOU!
Don't believe the hype! When I started the show the other night we were having a lot of technical issues due 2 the heat. The 2 huge screens on both sides of the stage were glaring bright blue like when your DVD player acts up at home. I asked for them 2 turn the screens off 3 times because it was
