Not only is rapper Kanye West telling folks to “Eat sh*t and die,” but he’s apparently cursing out musicians and, of course, the media. All on stage. In front of people. Here’s what someone sent to our boy illseed over at All Hip Hop.

But of course, Kanye caused controversy. His show was AMAZING, but what would a Kanye show be without those diva moments? Firstly, while performing ‘Put On’, he went into some kind of auto-tune-freestyle. Basically what he was saying was that people don’t want him to change, people don’t want him to grow, they’d rather see him do exactly the same thing over and over again. Then, he went into a rant; saying that the media had stripped him of real life and explaining his daily pressures of being a celebrity. Then, he randomly started talking about Britney Spears, claiming that she spazzed out because K-Fed took advantage of her to better himself.

But, the best was yet to come. Kanye decided to close with Love Lockdown. He restarted the song three or four times (i lost count). The first time, I don’t think he was in-sync with his musicians…so 30 seconds in he told them to stop and start again. The second time, Kanye said ‘Nah you guys f#$ked it, start again’ and stormed off the stage, the musicians kept playing through the chorus and only stopped afterwards…which was awkward as Kanye wasnt even singing.

The third time, Kanye got about half-way through the song and stopped it once more. Kanye then came out and said “I’m supposed to have another f*cking outfit for this song, but they’ve taken it back to the dressing room. But f*ck it, Let’s just do it”. He was pretty angry lol, but all the fans were laughing haha. He then managed to get through the whole song without stopping..needless to say…i dont wanna hear Love Lockdown again…lol.

Anyway i thought he didnt need a stylist since he shops so much that he can speak Italian…LOL. it was mainly a good show anyway.

Our friends over at Rap-Up Magazine uncovered a recent quote from Kanye West, in which he praises Beyonce, comparing her to legendary singer Tina Turner.

“Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyoncé is a f***ing living legend and that she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past…that she’s probably greater than Tina Turner.”

There’s a rumor circulating about the blogoshpere concerning Kanye West and Victoria’s Secret supermodel Sessilee Lopez.

“Kanye was instantly smitten with Sessilee and it’s not hard to see why. But it’s more than just looks for Kanye, they get on really well and have a deep connection,” a friend of the model has revealed to Britain’s The Sun.

“Recently, Kanye has invited Sessilee to several parties and the pair have also had a few quiet nights together… Everyone wants a piece of Sessilee, she is one of the hottest models around. But she is very fond of Kanye though.”

This is, of course, a British tabloid. So as usual, a grain of salt is recommended. If it’s true though, Good for Yeezy!

HOSEA THOMAS CHARGED FOR MURDER OF T.I.’S FRIEND » The man suspected of shooting T.I.’s assistant and childhood friend, Philant Johnson, was found guilty by a jury last week. We discussed T.I.’s testimony a couple of weeks ago. 34-year-old Hosea Thomas was on trial for the shooting death of Philant Johnson and firing at T.I. and his entourage following a May 2006 concert in Cincinatti. In T.I.’s testimony, he told the court that he sincerely believed those bullets were meant for him.

T.I. told jurors that he believes the bullets fired at him and his entourage during a gun battle two years ago were meant for him, but they struck and killed Johnson, his assistant and longtime friend. T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was not injured in the shooting on Interstate 75. Harris had been at Club Ritz following a post-concert party, and police said his entourage became involved with Thomas in a dispute over access to the club’s VIP area.

Kanye West – 808’s and Heartbreaks – Dropped out of college. Then he re-enrolled, and, on his third album, finally graduated. Next, he was supposed to get a “good ass job.”

Instead, he had his heartbroken. With life, expect the unexpected. Kanye West has had one hell of a year. West’s first and only true love, his mother, Donda West, died from surgery complications. He’s been arrested twice after clashes with the paparzzi, and he even called it off with his fiancé, Alexis PhiferHe’s lived through blow after blow, and the album itself is a reflection of how reality can reflect art or vice versa.

So, with all that Kanye has been through thus far, it shouldn’t shock anyone that he shelved his original album titled, Good Ass Job, and recorded an album full of loss, vocal robots, and heartbreak.
