Kanye West Rants About Music Industry, 'Suit & Tie' at London Show
Kanye West may be overjoyed about becoming a father, but he’s still the same ol’ Yeezy. The G.O.O.D. Music chief delivered another fiery freestyle against the music business during his show at Hammersmith Apollo in London on Saturday night. The outspoken rapper had some choice words for the Grammys and dismissed Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z’s single “Suit & Tie.”
“Remind me again why we’re in this shit/ Remind me again why the Grammys could suck my dick,” rapped ‘Ye, who just won three more Grammys earlier this month.
No one was safe. “Remind me again who’s the original Super Fly/ And I got love for Hov, but I ain’t fuckin’ with that ‘Suit & Tie,'” he continued, referring to Justin Timberlake’s collaboration with Jay-Z.
His rhymes got more intense as he went on. “They say yo, you coming on too strong in this shit/ They always talking about I’m doing wrong in this shit/ Well I could give a f**k about anything/ I lost my motherfu**ing mama,” screamed ‘Ye. “I could give a f**k about your comments, I promise/ ‘Cause we all gon’ die one day, but I’ma live my life my way.”
He also addressed his polarizing position in the music industry and having to pander to corporate sponsors. “Did the corporations send a check yet?/ What is my public rating right now?/ Are people liking me again, enough to get some money from the corporations?/ Are they liking me?/ They forgot about the whole Beyoncé thing right, ok, cool?”
Watch Kanye blow off steam in his latest rant.
