Kanye West And Drake Are Back In The Studio

Kanye West and Drake definitely have a history of good music together. Although they haven’t released any collaboration for a while now, the waiting will be over soon.
One day ago, Drake uploaded an Instagram post of him and Yeezy, saying, “There goes the neighborhood.” Even though at first we weren’t sure whether the two are cooking up a new project or not, our guess was confirmed when Scooter Braun, Kanye’s new manager, left a comment on the post. His comment said, “It begins…” with clapping emojis.
Now we don’t know if “There goes the neighborhood” is going to be the name of their upcoming album, but at least we know that the duo is back. “We’re just working on music, working on a bunch of music together, just having fun going into the studio. We’re working on an album, so there’s some exciting things coming up soon,’ is what Kanye declared about him and Drizzy earlier this year.

Kanye West Explains Why Adidas Deal W/ Angie Martinez (Video)

Kanye West stopped by Hot 97 today with Kim Kardashian by his side, and he explained why he left Nike for Adidas, and how he wants to become the first hip hop designer.

In the second part of his interview with Angie, Kanye talked about his love for Kim, and being a father to North.

So then I start turning up in the BBC interview, so [Nike] said, ok cool, we’re gonna give you a bigger sandbox to play in. We’re gonna give you this amount right here to design, and two collections a year, and 30 skews — that’s the amount of items that you have. Would that make you happy, Kanye? And I said, well I need royalties. It’s not even like I have a joint venture. At least give me some royalties. Michael Jordan has 5%, that business is $2 billion. He makes a $100 million dollars a year off of 5% royalties. Nike told me we can’t give you royalties because you’re not a professional athlete. I told them, I go to the Garden and play one-on-NO-ONE. I’m a performance athlete. Did I really ANYTHING? YES! Did I really EVERYTHING. 100,000 percent. I’m 100,000 percent at all times. It’s people that work in offices trying to tell me how to think, when I got a better perspective. I live in Paris.

So the old me, without a daughter, would have taken the Nike deal because I just love Nikes so much. But the new me, with a daughter, takes the adidas deal because I have royalties and I have to provide for my family.

Whatever’s official, non-official, official, what y’all gonna see is… I am going to be the Tupac of product… I’ma be the first hip-hop designer, and because of that… I’ma be bigger than Walmart.

Kanye West announced earlier today that tonight’s rescheduled Vancouver show for his Yeezus Tour was once again been postponed, however it looks like the entire tour has been delayed indefinitely. Here’s a statement from Def Jam:

Yesterday, on the road to Vancouver, a truck carrying The Yeezus Tour’s custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen was in an accident that damaged the gear beyond repair. This gear is central to the staging of The Yeezus Tour, and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at DONDA.As a result of this event, it is impossible to put on the show and The Yeezus Tour will be postponed until these essential pieces can be reengineered and refabricated. Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans. The Vancouver, Denver and Minneapolis dates have been postponed. Further details on the affected tour dates will be announced shortly.
