Fuck Harvey Levin and anybody that loves his celebrity news website. First you prematurely pronounce the impending death of Lil Wayne (Weezy Forgives. We Don't.) and then you try to link the horrific actions of one of the Boston Marathon culprits to our culture? "DEAD BOMBING SUSPECT: HEAVY INTO HIP HOP" You don't say? It's 2013 and most kids are into rap music. We've been penetrated pop culture, you cock suckers. "What's interesting... hip-hop lyrics are notoriously violent and often degrading to women." So our music is at fault in this tragedy? Let's be clear the only bombs my culture cosigns is DJ Funkmaster Flex's sound effects. Thirty Mile Zone is prone to post anything to get traffic. Fuck dude and his coffee cup. Get you a Rap Radar cup and drink with us in the winner's circle.
Oh Miguel. Leg droppin your fans? You ain't Hulk Hogan and that wasn't part of the program. That's no way to treat the adoring ladies, brother.
Rae and Ghost aren’t the only ones that don’t like a shark biter. Drake’s producer, Noah “40″ Shebib tells VIBE in the Aug/Sept. issue that Ye cursed him out for “borrowing” his sound.
“I can’t even be mad at him,” says 40 [short for working 40 Days and 40 Nights…Noah’s ark, get it?) “Because the last CD I listened to before I started working on So Far Gone was 808s & Heartbreak.”
Ah, that explains it. But Yeezy doesn’t have to worry about 40 stepping on his toes. He’s only interested in working with two artists.
“At this point in time, the only rappers I have any interest in working with outside of Drake are Wayne and Jay,” 40 says flatly. “I think Drake has been so instrumental in creating that sound that I have a commitment to him. If he doesn’t want me to give it away, I won’t.”
I mean, Kanye’s production on 808′s was pretty much a genre all its own (and also he’s just, in general, been the most pervasively influential rapper/producer of the past decade.) so it’s only natural that people would splinter off from it. I really enjoy 40′s production. So yeah, Kanye made it, 40 took it, Kanye cursed him out for it, and now everyone can keep making fantastic music.
That’s it?!? No quotes, no nothing??? C’mon son!
meh. Imitation is the best form of flattery or something like that?
Kanye’s ego getting in his own way again.
How can you get mad at someone for “borrowing” when the MAJOR PART of your career is based on sampling and borrowing? Everyone remember the “Cheers to the Roc” joint at the end of “College Dropout” where he blatantly describes how his whole “borrowing” from Dre was INSTRUMENTAL (see what i did there) in sparking his success.
I love you Ye, but PLEEEAASE pull your head out of your own ass, before you make a mistake that no one will be able to forgive you for.
wow… Kanye doesn’t want a nigga stealing his spotlight.. hmmmm.. VMAs ring a bell???? get the fuck outta here nigga!!!!!
Everybody borrow from everybody.. damn Ye’s signature sound comes from using soul samples.. for the dummies to follow..
SAMPLES=OTHER PEOPLES MUSIC so is he STEALING THEIR SOUND too???
NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES I GUESS.. lol
How kanye flash on dude when he admitted tryna jack eminems drums n snares bk n the day dude a cry baby
40 IS JACKING YE… DRAKE IS JACKING YEEZY + WEEZY… WHAT A BUNCH OF BIIIIIIIIIITCHES !!!!
DRAKE’S MOTHER IS A TV PRODUCER, THAT’S THE REASON WHY EVEN IF HE IS WACK AC
T ACTING HE PLAYED THE WHEELCHAIRMAN IN THIS FAG TV SHOW!!!!
DRAKE’S FATHER USED TO WORK IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. HE WAS JERRY LEWIS’ DRUMMER THAT’S THE REASON WHY EVEN IF THIS BUM IS WACK AT BOTH SINGING & RAPPING, HE GOT A RECORD DEAL!!!
HE IS USING HIS PARENTS’ CONNECTS IN ORDER TO BRAINWASH PEOPLE WITH HIS WACKNESS. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS FUCKERY.

Lol ego? All the ppl on this site who leave a comment like their opinion is the only fact. Gtfoh Lmao. And say wat you want but your album collection is not complete unless you have a Kanye song or beat. FACT
Funny how Kanye Says he’s biting sounds.. when the TR-808 (The Instrument They Use to make those type of techno-fuse-hip-hop beats), Was originally made in the 80′s and used in Fuse-Pop-Songs back then.
KanYe >
let the man do what he wants he deserves it
Horus is a bitch lol, yall know the dude has a Drake shrine in his room and wacks off to him every night.
Pussy bitch
Em fell off after his first 3 Albums. That brotha is corn Pops.
Jay last true record was American Gangster. BP3 had 5 joints the rest TRASH.
Kanye is the most consistent artist EVER.
College Dropout=Classic, Late Registration=Historicly Classic!, Graduation=Commercially Classic!, 808s&Heartbreak=Genre Defying Creationally Classic!.
That’s why my top 5:
Pac
Jay
Kanye
BIG
Em

★★★
HORUS IS THE TRUTH✔
There’s. Certain magic about Kanyes TRUE production I.e. Diamonds, Through the wire, gone, Overnight celebrity, stronger, good life, say you will etc. It’s too magnificent to defy. So ofcourse you’d want to imitate it. Thing is that’s why kanyes upset, you can’t! Ittl just hurt you in the long run. Plus he feels alil
threatened cuz he doesn’t know if he still has that anymore. I mean Power is dope but let’s be real it was an S1 beat that kanye flipped. The chants and guitar make
that track.
why not curse drake out instead of 40 kanye where ya balls at
Last week,kanye called Swizz the best rap producer of all time after listening to Drake’s “fancy”. Im guessing kanye made that statement after listening to the 2nd part of that beat(the best part of that weak song) and he thought Swizz made the whole track. But 40 actually did that 2nd part. So shouldnt Ye be giving some type of props to this 40 dude now? lol
LOL @ imitation being the best form of flatery
Biting is forbidden in hiphop, cues Missy and Timbalands “beat biters”. Have some damn creativity and stop jacking the next man shit, and mf wonder why everything on the radio and tv sound alike.
tell Kanye to go FUCK HIMSELF….. FUCK 40 TOO FAGGOT ASS NIGGAZ
Ayo Horus i know you wacking off to him now bruhbruh
uh, sampling a record is not the same thing as stealing other people’s music. people who sample have distinct styles- like Dilla flipping a sample and Kanye flipping a sample are completely different. it’s still its own distinct form of expression, kanye used those samples to make his own style. 40 copping ye’s (non-soul loop) production style is different from ye using some drums to make a new style.
but again, who cares. kanye checked him, he didn’t have someone beat him up or call him out in public. it was a private discussion (which we do;ot even really know the contents of) 40 decided to make public.
Kanye is a great artist too, but he is a average ass rapper. Yall should be ashamed of yourself to put him in the same category as legit mcs, who can outrhyme and outflow is ass 99 out of a 100 times.
@cantgetitright
all 40 did was crossfade the beat. Everything but the drums had there ‘Highs’ and ‘Mids’ lowered. Producers know what I’m talking about. 40s signature is to just mute the beat and add reverb and echo his shit is saucy. Boi 1nda is the true beat maker. 40 will need to reinvent himself soon or he will saturate his sound. Although it worked for Swizzy cuz all his early shit sounded the same lol.
Rap is based off of stealing, How can you get mad for doing what HIP HOP is based off of. Sorry i do agree that KAYNE is GREAT — but 808 didnt even listen to it. Why would i support a R&B album with a nigg@ that cant sing. SORRY but for real Dont pass off a R&B album and say its rap to me. Kayne i once thought of as a rap God but that POWER joint & the track with OFFICER ROSS LIVE FAST DIE YOUNG — WERE GARBAGE!
I want this full version of All of the lights Kayne and Drake son
Drake stole BIG SEANS FLOW & 40 stole KANYE beat style put it together you have a industry made rapper with the system behind HIM.
40 & Boi1da are overrated!!!!
Jake One >>>
Frank Dukes >>>
Justice League >>>
Sean C & LV >>>
WHO CARES?!??! people dying from cancer and poverty right now and we arguing over beats you people are fuckin stupid
was this new n improved kanye or the one w/ ego?
@flawda
shut yo a** up^ lol. In this day in age it’s not about OUTFLOWING or OUTRHYMING it’s the subject matter the lyrics the EMOTION.
If that was the case lil Wayne would be on the same level as Big Daddy Kane and Rakim cuz he can flow and rhyme with the best of em but HE AINT TALKIN BOUT SHIT. And they never progress. Kanye has taken the game to a whole mother level. Everytime he has dropped a record last decade THE WHOLE MUSIC INDUSTRY SHIFTED to HIS style.
College Dropout era-2 years NOTHIN BUT SOUL production and records from every artist
Late Registration era-Same Except on steroids with orchestral and modern implementations
Graduation era- 3 years of ELECTRONICA And 80s influences with a progressive more custom sound
808s&Heartbreak era- overlapped by Graduation era but it ALSO CREATED A GENRE in ITSELF!
Production and Lyrically Together Kanye is unmatched when it comes to just Music.
Dude is THE true definition of an artist.
Style, Production, Lyrics, Emotion, Influence. Dude is incredible.
yerp is a bitch… damn you dick ridin Kanye more then Amber.. how you figure that LR was historically important?? nigga you drinkin the kool aid big time.. and Graduation was trash.. there was more filler on that album then you get in a twinkie nigga.. and the nigga used auto tune.. which T-PAIN popularized again.. for the whole album biting off that niggaz plate.
Yall are to damn emotional about this dude you can’t see straight.. he a dope producer but thats it.. he ain’t Moses.. nigga ain’t even Dre.. Be real.. he’s albums have consistently went down.. College Dropout was the illest.. the next.. alittle less.. the next.. even worse.. on.. on..
Don’t care what any of yall niggas say.. “POWER”.. is trash.. yall niggas in love with the NIGGA.. and not the MUSIC… nigga could make a beat using a kazoo and cowbell and yall niggas would be claiming it was the best beat ever.
Watch this album gonna come out and be sub par.. and yall niggas still gonna nut looking through the liner notes..
think EM won the Oscar for original score for a song he wrote and produced.. “lose yourself”..
where Ye’s at??
lol
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YEEZY DOES OR SAYS…JUST GIVE ME THA MUSIC!!! ;-)
@ YERP
Nigga, are you a women or a faggot, wtf are you talking about emotion, this shit aint r and b dude. This is hiphop, and mcing, it’s about saying the flyest shit in the most lyrical way, i’m sick of you neo soul niggas and your soft ass emo ways.
It’s about balance, it’s about flow, lyrics, emotions, delivery, etc. You can’t overlook all aspects, your lyrics are your weapons as a mc. If you aint a dope lyricist, you pretty much is a spoken word artist to me. Go do Def Poetry Jam or some shit.
Kanye wouldn’t even be able to sit at the same table as Nas,Jay,Pun,Pac,Andre 3000,etc. He aint a mc, Kanye is more of a artist than a mc.
