KanYe West is upset…over his recent FADER cover. Even with my creative mind, I couldnt come up with this on my worst day. Here is what he had to say:

FOR THE RECORD I LOVE THE FADER BUT I FUCKING HATE THIS COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD INTERVIEW THOUGH!

In other Ye News, Yeezy has once again pimp slap a pap. Here is the low low:

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED…WHEN I LEFT THE CLUB, I WAS ENCOUNTERED BY A THIRSTY PAPARAZZI AS USUAL. HE FELT HE HAD MORE RIGHTS TO MY SPACE THAN ME, SO I PUT MY HAND UP TO PREVENT HIM FROM TAKING MY IMAGE. I DIDN’T ASSAULT HIM BUT MERELY PUTTING MY HAND UP TO COVER HIS LENS. MY SECURITY YELLED, “GET THE CAMERA OFF HIM.” I GUESS IN ALL THE COMMOTION THE CAMERA SCRAPED HIS NOSE.

THREE HOURS LATER I GET A KNOCK AT MY HOTEL DOOR. THERE WERE FIVE POLICE OFFICERS IN FRONT OF MY ROOM AND I HAD NO IDEA WHY. I HAD MY SECURITY GO SPEAK WITH THEM. THE COPS WERE VERY CORDIAL BUT TOLD ME THEY HAD TO ARREST ME BECAUSE A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THAT WAS THE BOGUS PART. THEY PLACED ME IN HANDCUFFS AND DROVE ME TO THE STATION. THEY SPOKE ABOUT HOW THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A PUBLICITY STUNT BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER BUT THEY STILL HAD TO GO THOUGH THE MOTIONS. WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE HOTEL THERE WERE PAPARAZZI HANGING OVER THE BRIDGE ABOVE THE HOTEL TRYING TO GET A SHOT OF ME GETTING OUT THE POLICE VAN. EVEN THOUGH I WASN’T CHARGED, THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. SURE ENOUGH THE NEXT MORNING, PLASTERED ACROSS EVERY MEDIA OUTLET… KANYE GETS ARRESTED. IT DIDN’T MATTER THAT I WASN’T CHARGED OR THE FACT THAT I HADN’T ASSAULTED ANYONE. ALL THAT MATTERED WAS THAT I WAS ARRESTED.

I know how it feels to lose a mom. It is not easy, especially if mom dies unexpectedly. My heart goes out to Kanye. This is what his aunt, Yolanda told a British tabloid:

“There were some moments when she [Dr. West] dieted, some moments when she’d lose the weight, but you know how we do, we pick that weight back up and she finally got to a point where she just wanted to get it done and completely be done with the dieting. It was a quick fix for her to where the dieting just wasn’t working. Did Kanye want it done? No. But he’s a mama’s boy and what mom wanted was what he wanted to make sure she had. And now he’s got no mom.”

Reports are coming in that Kanye West will not faced felony charges for an incident that happen at LAX (the airport, not the nightclub). Kanye was facing felony charges for his role in a scuffle between himself, his bodyguard, a photographer and cameraman on September 11.  However, dont go celebrating just yet, the case is being review for misdemeanor charges.

Last year, Lil Wayne took the honors of being MTV’s Hottest MC. Who do you think took this year’s honors…

Lil Wayne ft Kanye West ~ Lollipop (remix)

I am really liking this remix. I just hope Lil Wayne knows what Hewlett Packard is (just like he knows what a koala is –if you read Blender’s June issue then you know what I am talking about). Anyway, listen and let me know your thoughts.

Ok, ok, that was a just a tad bit rude of me, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this pic. We have former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson and Nigo at the BAPESTORE opening in L.A. Other celebs in attendance were Kanye West (looking a little skinny), Jermaine Dupri (sans Janet), Pharrell, Nicole Richie and others.

Check under the hood for more pics from the opening.

I have so much love and respect for Kanye. He brings so much energy and conviction into everything he does. If you were unable to watch the Grammys, shame on you. Here is one of the best performances of the night, Kanye performing “Stronger” and “Hey Mama”.

Here is my rundown on the hits and misses of the 50th Annual Grammy…

This has been my Grammy round up.

When most hip hop artists “make it”, some launch a clothing line; while, others will paste a label on a new alcohol beverage, but not Kanye West. He has developed his very own search engine: searchwithkanyewest.com

Here is what makes his search engine different from Google, even Yahoo, searchwithkanyewest.com allows the visitor the opportunity to win Swag Bucks. Swag Bucks can be redeemed for prizes, such as gift cards, posters, and iPhones. There are some things you have to do first before you can enter to win.

I am not sure how quick his search engine is going to catch on, but I do like some of the items that can be won (eyeing the Starbucks gift card, dreaming of a grande Chocolate Mocha…..)

Kanye wrote about his connect 4 match with Beyonce in his blog:

but every now and then people would speak of this legendary connect 4 champion……….. BEYONCE!!! I had 2 play her!…so last night at Jay’s new 40/40 club in Las Vegas (which is sidebar, crazy big w/ 24krt gold flooring, Black Jack tables, $500 slot machines,the biggest projection screen in the universe and the best turkey burgers I’ve ever had in my life) she beat me 9 times in a row! (and I didn’t even spaz lol)
