KANYE WEST WANTS TO BE “DIFFERENT” AND POSE NUDE » When it comes to his music and style stepping outside of the box comes natural to rapper Kanye West, but with his recent statement made in the February issue of Vibe magazine, we think maybe he’s taking a huge leap away from the norm.  Mr. West has revealed that he wants to pose nude one day to “break every rule of Hip Hop“.

Kanye on posing nude:

“I definitely feel, like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I’ll pose naked. I [want to] break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture.”

Really Kanye?

One of our favorite MCs, Kanye West, will we  be the face of the February 2009 issue of VIBE Magazine. In the issue, Kanye talks about his recent incidents with the paparazzi and even talks about the album, 808s & Heartbreaks, of which he feels was his greatest yet. I personally don’t feel that 808s & Heartbreaks was better than Graduation but according to the issue, Kanye thinks otherwise.

Kanye Vents On The Paparazzi:

“I haven’t done anything violent. They make it seem like I actually went and hit the paparazzi. I haven’t. I was restrained. I’m good at restraining myself from committing violent acts. I know how to control my temper. That one paparazzo made it a bigger deal. I just put my hand up and he felt like he had more right to my personal space than I did. I put my hand up to stop him from shooting me.”

Kanye on 808s & Heartbreaks:

“I do think it’s my best album to date. No, I actually know this is my best album to date. Do I think it will be my best album ever? No, Ill improve. Do I think there are mistakes in it? Yes. There has to be. I’m a human being. But I think it surpasses Graduation. These 12 tracks are going to resonate more than any 12 tracks of any album this year.”

Make sure you go pick up the new issue when it hit stands.

Rappa turnt sanga (lol) Kanye West performed his singles, “Love Lockdown” and “Heartless” on popular sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live this weekend. I’m a big Kanye fan, but I must say I was disappointed in the Love Lockdown performance, and his choice of attire. His voice was cracking so much that he sounded like a pre-teen going through puberty. He did a little better with Heartless … but the erratic dancing kind of threw it off. I kind of like how he integrated “Pinnochio Story” into it though. Anyway, peep the Heartless performance after the break.

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.
