Clippers Owner Responds To Kanye West’s Request To Redesign Mascot

Kanye West asks Steve Ballmer if he can redesign the Clippers’ mascot; Ballmer invites him to a game.

 

Earlier today, Kanye West embarked on yet another Twitter escapade, during which he revealed what he takes to be his greatest quality — “I care.” He also put forth his belief that it’s possible for humans to create a utopia. After logging off for a couple of hours, he hopped back on to drop a quick request regarding a less lofty matter, as he asked Steve Ballmer, owner of the L.A. Clippers, if he could redesign the team’s new mascot.

There Could Be A Version Of Kanye West’s “Wolves” With Drake & Björk

There’s yet another potential version of “Wolves” out there. If this one exists, it will certainly warrant a listen.

 

The mystery of “Wolves” continues. Kanye first unveiled a version of the song during an iconic performance on SNL 40 in February of last year. The song featured Vic Mensa and Sia, who both joined him on stage. An official version of “Wolves” wouldn’t be heard until a year later, when, on February 11, he played his new album, The Life of Pablo, to a sold-out crowd at MSG. The version of “Wolves” he played then, the one that would remain on the album upon its release a few days later, featured vocals by Frank Ocean and classical singer Caroline Shaw, and none from Mensa or Sia.

On February 14, the day of the album’s release, Kanye seemed overwhelmingly confident about the near-perfection of The Life of Pablo, though he sent out one tweet implying he wasn’t totally satisfied with a particular song: “Ima fix wolves.”

A few days later, a relatively high quality recording of the original “Wolves” — with Mensa and Sia — surfaced online. Today, there has arisen the possibility of one more version of the song, which, for the most part, has been lauded in both of its current capacities. The rumors of the latest version, though — well, let’s just say: if true, it sounds like the most exciting “Wolves” yet.

Or, at least it’s the most star-studded. Complex was digging into the KTT forum tonight and noticed that someone had screen-shotted a Snapchat from Cashmere Cat, one of the producers of “Wolves,” that showed he was listening to a recording of “Wolves” that featured Drake and Björk. As of now, all we have are the screenshots showing the track’s collaborators (see above), and no recordings of any music.

Drake was credited on two tracks on The Life of Pablo, though they haven’t rapped (or sang) on a record together since the non-album version of Big Sean‘s “Blessings.” Shortly after the SNL “Wolves” premiere, Kanye West revealed he and Drake had discussed doing a joint album using the title, so the case for an official version with Drake is convincing.

As for Björk, who would’ve thought the legendary singer, actress, video artist, and all around leader of the avant-garde would appear on a Kanye West song? Well, the man who revealed the potential collab, Cashmere Cat, hails from Norway, the Scandinavian neighbor to Björk’s native Iceland, so it does make some sense.

Who wants to hear yet another “Wolves”?

Kanye West Will Soon Reveal “The Life Of Pablo” Tour Dates

It looks like Kanye West is already planning a tour in support of “The Life of Pablo.”

 

The unveiling of Kanye West‘s new album, The Life of Pablo — which coincided with a Yeezy Season 3 fashion show — at Madison Square Garden has been one of the most talked about hip-hop spectacles in recent memory.

I had — rather stupidly, in retrospect — thought that, for the album’s official debut, Kanye would perform each and every song off The Life of Pablo. Instead, he just hooked his laptop up to an AUX cord and let the album play out. And while it must’ve been thrilling to be among the first to hear The Life of Pablo in such a grand setting, Kanye is indeed in the process of gearing up a proper live show to go along with his seventh album.

A source close to Kanye has alerted Entertainment Weekly that a “Life of Pablo” tour is currently being planned and that dates could be revealed as soon as next month.

Kanye has one official performance already scheduled this summer, as he’ll headline the Governors Ball Music Festival on June 5 in NYC, so perhaps his new tour will be situated around that time. He also recently announced his plans to drop another album this summer, so it looks like his schedule will be totally swamped, though that’s nothing new for Pablo.

These tix will likely be gone in minutes. Who’s excited to see a live performance of Kanye’s new album?

Kanye West Considering Legal Action Against The Pirate Bay

Upset with the level of illegal downloads, Kanye West’s camp considers legal action.

 

Kanye West’s buzzing new album The Life of Pablo is only available on the streaming service Tidal, which has driven many people to illegally download the album rather than sign up for the subscription-only streaming service. As a result, the album has gone Gold in illegal downloads solely from popular torrent site the Pirate Bay. It netted more than 500,000 downloads in less than a week, which is potentially an internet record.

Despite previously being flippant towards people to illegally listen to his music, Kanye West is reportedly not pleased with the current situation. He’s considering a lawsuit against the Pirate Bay, and that’s understandable given how much money in streams and album sales 500,000 downloads would equate to.

TorrentFreak reached out to the Pirate Bay for comment. Their response was not exactly fearful. “Kanye West is a blithering twat who has an incredible sense of self importance,” Pirate Bay staff member Spud17 wrote, before adding, “Our legal team will be waiting.”

The Pirate Bay are no strangers to legal action, as their site been kicked out of numerous countries for it’s illegal activity. Next to governments, a Yeezy lawsuit isn’t much to sniff at. While it sucks that Kanye has lost out on so much money, he’s partially to blame for the situation after altering his album distribution plans right as the album released. He refused to add the album to any Apple music services, leaving few ways for people to obtain the record.

Kanye West Reacts To Kylie Jenner Signing With PUMA

Kanye West reacts to Kylie Jenner’s unexpected partnership with PUMA.

 

Kanye West has made no effort to cover up his hatred toward Nike, the company he left in favor of adidas, but many were surprised when we called out another major clothing brand, PUMA, for trying to “divide the family” with its efforts to court a deal with Kylie Jenner. He went as far as to say, “1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!”

Well, it now seems as though Yeezy was misguided in his calculations, as PUMA has officially confirmed its partnership with the youngest Jenner sister. “I am pleased and excited to be able to confirm that PUMA is indeed working with Kylie Jenner,” said Adam Petrick, PUMA’s Global Director of Brand and Marketing, in an official statement, reports Complex.

“Kylie will be featured in the brand’s Spring/Summer women’s training campaign launching in April 2016,” continued Petrick. “Kylie represents a fresh and exciting new era for fashion, and we couldn’t think of a more fitting and influential female to headline this campaign for PUMA.”

Earlier today, a TMZ reporter caught up with Kanye at LAX, and by then, he was already aware of his ill-fated PUMA tweets. When asked if Kylie had gone behind his back to sneak a deal with PUMA, a rival of adidas, Kanye replied, “She had already signed, and I was mad for a bit.”

Thus, it seems the deal was already in place when Kanye had sent out the tweets claiming Kylie for team Yeezy, and it’s probably wasn’t a pretty sight when Kanye found out about the deal. He’s now over it, however, as he went on to tell the reporter, “I’m really happy for her though.”

Kim Kardashian Reportedly “Can’t Stand” Kanye West’s Recent Twitter Rants

According to reports, Kim K isn’t happy about Kanye’s recent twitter antics.

 

Kanye West has been on one lately when it comes to his twitter fingers. From reigniting beef with Wiz & Taylor Swift to talking about his personal debt and claiming Bill Cosby is innocent, many people have been outraged by his off-the-wall twitter antics over the past couple weeks. And according to reports, wifey, Kim Kardashian happens to be just one of those people who aren’t fond of his recent behavior. In fact, People Magazine is reporting that Kim can’t stand it so much that it’s actually hurting their marriage.

A close source from People Mag says that Kim is very level-headed when it comes to Kanye’s behavior, but “can’t stand” the recent twitter drama. “What causes friction in the marriage, however, is Kanye’s compulsive tweeting. Kim can’t stand it. She is all for self-promotion, but doesn’t approve of Twitter drama,” the source quotes.

Apparently the biggest issue for Kim was Kanye’s Twitter antics against his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose. “She was very mad about Kanye’s Amber Rose drama,” the source told People.

While Kim may not necessarily be happy about the recent tweets, I really don’t see this being any sort of marriage breaker.

Taylor Swift Fires Back At Kanye West During Her Acceptance Speech At The Grammy’s

Taylor Swift took a little jab at Kanye West during her acceptance speech for “Album Of The Year.”

 

Well it looks like Taylor Swift definitely heard the lyrics on Kanye West’s new song “Famous,” where Ye spits “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that bitch famous,” and she’s not happy about it either. During her acceptance speech at Monday night’s Grammy’s for “Album Of The Year” with 1989, Taylor decided to “speak to the women” but direct her words towards Kanye.

Taylor says in her speech, “As the first woman to win album of the year twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or you fame, But if you just focus on the work, and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you are going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there and that will be the greatest feeling in the world.”

This clearly reignites the on-going beef between Kanye & Taylor, which we thought was over with after Kanye stated they talked on the phone for over an hour and said she even gave him her blessings to use the line. Well apparently she never did, and now the beef is back on.

Kanye West Reveals Final Tracklist For “The Life Of Pablo”

Kanye West’s 7th studio album is no longer untitled.

 

We finally know what T.L.O.P. means, and I’m pretty sure you didn’t guess it. Taking to twitter moments ago, Kanye West just revealed the official tracklist to his upcoming album The Life Of Pablo!!!

Laced with 10 records, the follow up to Yeezus will feature an intro track called “Ultra Light Beams,” another song called “Famous,” and the previously heard singles “No More Parties In LA,” & “Real Friends.”

As for why the “Pablo” reference, that’s unclear at the moment, but we did hear ‘Ye name-drop Pablo a couple times on his latest release “No More Parties In LA” He raps, “I feel like Pablo when I’m workin’ on my shoes/I feel like Pablo when I see me on the news/I feel like Pablo when I’m workin’ on my house.”

Look for The Life Of Pablo to be premiered live tomorrow during the Yeezy 3 showing at Madison Square Garden. Fans can listen/watch via Tidal if you can’t make it out. Stay tuned.

Peep the final tracklist below.

Kanye West Says Bill Cosby Is Innocent

Kanye West has defended Bill Cosby on Twitter.

 

Bill Cosby is in the middle of a very serious sexual assault investigation which has seen over 60 women come forward with stories of his abuse. While most public figures who have spoken out on the issue have shown support for the alleged victims, a few have assumed Cosby’s innocence. Kanye West is now one of those people.

 

Kanye West Apologizes To Michael Jordan; Says Beef Was Aimed At Mark Parker

Kanye West apologizes to his fellow Chi-town airness Michael Jordan.

 

Kanye West has taking a certain liking to twitter these past couple weeks, sounding off just about everything from his upcoming Yeezy 3 line & his highly anticipated “T.L.O.P.” album to beefing with Wiz Khalifa & trolling with us fake Rolling Stone covers, all eyes have been on Ye’s timeline, and boy was he back at it on Tuesday afternoon.

Not only did Ye boldly state that Bill Cosby was innocent, but the G.O.O.D Music CEO decided to also apologize to his fellow Chi-town air-ness Michael Jordan, for presumably referencing him in his latest freestyle “Facts.” (Yeezy Yeezy Yeezy just jumped over “Jumpman.”) Kanye says his “beef” was aimed at Mark Parker, and that he “loves and respect you [Jordan].”

Shortly after, he ironically tweeted a picture of Lebron’s All-Star sneakers, and gave Nike praise for a good well done. However, it looks like the tweet was only posted because of his close friendship with King James.
