Raekwon On Kanye & Justin Bieber Collabo

This past weekend Kanye pitched a collaboration with Raekwon and Justin Bieber. In a phone conversation with XXL, Shallah reveals it’s in full motion.

“It’s definitely gonna happen. When you got these kinda talents merging together to do something exciting, I think it’s something that’s gonna make the fans check it out. I’m big fans of both of these guys. I think, at the end of the day, shorty is a sensation. And [for him] to acknowledge me it makes me feel good that the young generation is checkin’ me out like that. And at the same time it gives me a position to play a big brother in the game. He wants my assistance or whatever he can get it. I respect him, I like his style.”

“Yeezy called me and we gon’ make it pop. At the end of the day we’re all doing our thing in the game and for them to even just have a conversation and just put my name in it it feels good. It feels good to respect what I do and I respect what they do. And we gon’ make a hit. Justin got his own fan base and Me and Yeezy got our own fan base and we gon’ make it happen. We gon’ make a good record.”

UPDATE: The Chef is on his way.

    This is so sad. A Beiber/Kanye collab honestly doesn’t surprise me, but Rae?!?! C’MON SON.

  3. Y Hate Whats The Piont says:

    can’t wait

  4. mikedreamsmusic says:

    I can see nothing but hate coming from people on this…

    But I can’t wait for it nevertheless. Push comes to shove, the best thing that will come out of this is that I might be able to ask my 2nd and 3rd Graders I work with everyday at the YMCA who Raekwon is, and they may be able to tell me after this track is done…

  5. Ac@pella! says:

    I gotta hear this. Lmao!!!

  6. CaniBlog? says:

    Contrary to what yall might think this is actually a good move by rae.

    Stepping outside his circle and expanding his fan base will lead to EVEN longer longevity.

    We seen Bun B do it and he’s always respected and legacy is still intact.

    As long as he do what he do best placed in any realm of the game, it can’t hurt him only make him stronger.

  7. really?? says:

    This is why kanye hasn’t had a hit yet…. Kanye no one feels your “creative” shit, but urself…..fail gayfish

  8. mikedreamsmusic says:

    Kanye hasn’t had a hit?

    I think your screen name is the perfect word and question mark symbol to use in response to that…

  9. JERZZZ says:

  14. flawda says:

    LMFAO at Raekwon quick to sell out, and these Wu mfs were the first ones to shit on Puffy back in the days.

  15. UltraKid says:

    I do not approve of this but I am not Kanye or Raekwon…Do they what they do and that’s not what I do…On to the Next News….

  16. UltraKid says:

    @flawda,
    Maybe Raekwon actually likes Justin Beiber…Kanye likes Soulja Boy…Our favorite Artists don’t hate whatever we hate so don’t start calling them a sell-out as soon as they work with an artist whose music you despise.

  17. UltraKid says:

    Kanye, Jazmine Sullivan and Raekwon collab>>>>>>Kanye, Justib Beiber and Raekwon collab

  18. Mr. G says:

    Get off ur own nuts lames….your opinion doesn’t count

  27. NotoriousRambo says:

    I GOT THE SAME EXPRESSION ON MY FACE WHEN I FOUND OUT TWO YEARS AGO THAT BONE THUGS WAS GONNA WORK WITH KEVIN FEDERLINE BUT I THINK IT NEVER HAPPENED AN IM HOPING RAE COME TO HIS SENSES AND REALIZE THE HUGE MISTAKE HES ABOUT TO MAKE SMH

  28. mac weisel says:

    shut the fuck up you haters what yall got nothin better to do besides talk shit

    SMH sad

  29. NEWKIDONTHEBLOG says:

    Raekwon deserves a better fanbase. yall niggas just aint paying his bills like those little white kids…

  30. FOOTS says:

    @Donn Neither does your you flaming hannah montana likeing faggot. This is RAPRADAR, not LETSCOLLABWITHJUSTINBEIBERradar

  31. reality says:

    At the beginning, middle and end of the day no one is checking for Rae.. Washed up rappers need to call it quits and work for the MTA.

  32. CaniBlog? says:

    Had to repost this for you internet no life having ass corny ass no job ass niggas.

    Contrary to what yall might think this is actually a good move by rae.

    Stepping outside his circle and expanding his fan base will lead to EVEN longer longevity.

    We seen Bun B do it and he’s always respected and legacy is still intact.

    As long as he do what he do best placed in any realm of the game, it can’t hurt him only make him stronger.

    Raekwon = Bun B of the East Coast

    You guys should really learn from the south and respect the legends.

  33. Don Bleek says:

    Kanye and Rae is a good look and is very Hip-Hop, but Justin Bieber I’m not feeling that. Rae is one of the few rappers that still reps classic/real Hip-Hop. I don’t think he needs to go commercial with a Justin Bieber record. I think he will lose some fans by doing that. http://www.yodonbleekraps.com

  34. John says:

    HAHAHAHAHA Kanye fucking up with Hip-Hop minds again.This is a fucking classic Kanye move. Who else would take probably the most credible rapper, and throw him on a track with Bieber? Kanye is fucking classic. Watch this track be super hot and tear up the charts.

  35. IM ME says:

    When drake pulls justin bieber on stage he was a whimp, but when kanye does a SONG he’s “trying something new” SMFH. yall emotional fags, make your minds up

  36. supppppp says:

    ^ get drakes dick out your mouth, always thinkin’ about him and shit. both situations corny as hell anyway. kanye is a pretentious muh fucker

  37. K-Lam says:

    If this was Eminem you all would be condemning him to hell. Hypocrisy at its best

  38. So Icy Boi! says:

    @IM ME i know right ….des niggaz some dick ridin haters

  39. just dizle says:

    meanwhile in johanesburg…

  40. Donn says:

    Eminen and Elton John…ENOUGH SAID

  41. 50 says:

    ^ ELTON JOHN & JUSTIN BIEBER? R U AN IDIOT? ELTON JOHN IS A LEGEND. JUSTIN IS A FUCKIN TINNY POP STAR U FUCKIN FAGOT DONN KILL URSELF ASAP BITCH

  42. ron says:

    who gives a fuck if raekwon is doin a song with them why the fuck is it a problem niggas got talent make some fucking music stop hatin cause half yall dnt kno shit about music… it’s not selling out if u still being u on the track. soon as niggas see rae doing him all of a sudden niggas is tired of him and was dem same niggas feindin for dat obfcl2

  43. iHate says:

    Let’s kill Justin Bieber!

  44. wonjosk says:

    @Donn
    smh.
    i can’t believe you just equated justin beiber with elton john.
    it doesn’t matter how much you hate eminem, that’s just wrong.
    i mean do you hate him that much?

  45. dr says:

    people need to lighten up! This track will be fucking joke, that’s all there is to it.

    I don’t care if Ye and Rae do a song with beiber so long as they keep coming out with good tracks in the meantime.

  46. rap radar= hater heaven says:

    lmaoooooooooooooooo bieber collab..really rae..smh there goes your street cred

  47. rap radar= hater heaven says:

    i actually kinda wanna here this though lol

    and @IM ME i agree niggas on rap radar are fuckin hypocrites..none of the drake hate will be taken seriously after today

  48. Jpilk293 says:

    Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it!

  49. Aaa says:

    Raekwon will see this as a way to get abit more attention he barely known outside the USA so I think him working with bieber only gonna help his name internationally. I personally hate the idea fuck bieber fuck a collab

  50. Thank Me Hater says:

    This could actually open up hip hop and make it waaaayyyyyyy more mainstream…..which would be a good thing. I can’t see Justin Bieber’s fan base listening to Raekwon though, but maybe I need to give white people more credit.

  51. Polka says:

    Raekwon can fuck off. And don’t call me a hater, because you don’t want this collabo to happen either.

  52. I Punch Babies says:

    This is why hip hop aint selling now….cause motherfuckas like yall work to keep this collabo from happening. Imagine the crossover appeal this has. Bieber fans potentially becoming Rae fans and BUYING his music. That would be GREAT for hip hop!

  53. Thank Me Hater says:

    @I Punch Babies I think it’s great for crossover appeal. I’m just not seeing how the song would work. I do think people try to keep hip hop as underground as possible though which is stupid. Like Kanye said “It’s not cool to NOT be heard anymore” referring to that underground shit. If this song is done it will at least be HEARD by the masses. With two hip hop figures involved I think that’s a good thing

  54. Sero says:

    WHYYYyYYYY!!!!!
    the apocalypse is nigh!!!!!!!

  55. KARMA IS A BITCH says:

    fuck this fuckin tiny kid

    first bieber covers Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” , than on stage with drake and now a collabo with kanye smh

  56. DARKAQUA says:

    ANYTHING RAEKWON AND YE ON…I’M RIDING WITH!! GOOD FOR HIP HOP!! 😉

  57. So Icy Boi! says:

    @Thank Me Hater ..so you sayin a hip-hop song turned pop is good?

  58. B. Digital says:

    As a hip hop purist, I hate the idea of a Justin Bieber collab.. However, there’s nothing wrong with doing something outside of your comfort zone. In fact, it might expand Raekwon’s fan base; which means more money in his pocket.

  59. ARMY OF EMINƎM says:

    I JUST LOST ALL THE RESPECT THAT I HAD FOR THIS FUCKER. LISTEN BIEBER, YOU FAGGOT JUST STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM MARSHALL. IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO DO A SONG WITH HIM I WILL PERSONALLY TRACK YOU DOWN AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO CONSUME ANY SORT OF FOOD THAT DOESN’T COME THROUGH AN IV DRIP.

    SHADY THE G.O.A.T.

  60. mac DIESEL says:

    “I’m big fans of both these guys”

    ….HA!!!! WHO THE FUCK RAE THINKS HE’S FOOLIN’!!!! MAYBE KANYE, BUT BEIBER??? REALLY RAE??? NEGRO PLEASE!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  61. Wow. says:

    I’m starting to…slowly…..dislike…hip hop.

  62. […] Raekwon says Bieber and Kanye West collaboration is “definitely gonna happen”. (Rap Radar) […]

  63. JERZZZ says:

    @Soaponrope

    Nigga please, this aint a hip hop move, and this is a lame move for someone so legendary as Rae. You think differently change your genre of music, go listen to some beeber and some miley cyrus. Now get off my dick pussy….and yes Budden over Raekwon any day of 2010 while this clown is doing records with justin fuckin beeber.

  64. Ice Cold says:

    WooooooooW…..I’m kinda sad, well ludacris did it right lol kanye is joining

  65. SayAHHHHH says:

    yea yall would dogg the fuck out of Wayne, Drake etc

    but rae and kanye have a pass? I think Rae is wayyyy too old to crossover now he might break his own ankles lol

  66. Ernest says:

    I prefer Zac Efron LOL!

  67. dainventah says:

    okay i gotta admit…i saw some song on you tube with justin beiber and ludicris that had like a gazillion hits so i was like, you know what…maybe this little teenie bopper got atleast an ounce of talent if luda is fuckin wit him…..mannnnnnnn!!!! i watched that video and i had my hands over my eyes by the end of it! I’m lookin at the forbes list and at oscar worthy movies and law and order episodes and im thinking luda is on top of his game…then i see this WACK ass bowling alley video with Drake cheering on a strike by justin and some justin breakin seinfelds 3 feet rule by close talking some 12 year old girl and im like WTF!! Luda’s cred just fell off a fuckin cliff duke! don’t do it Rae! That Wu symbol used to mean somethin….DONT DO IT!!!

  68. […] to XXL.com yesterday, the chef Raekwon confirmed that everything is really taking […]

  69. […] SO…..this is probably the most unlikely combination of collaborators that I can imagine.  A certified OG, hip hop veteran, Wu-Tang Clansman and pioneer of coke rap, a teenie bopper pop sensation and the Michael Jackson of hip hop all on one track???? I never would’ve imagined this in my wildest dreams. from – RR […]

  70. D says:

    thats whats up but I’d love 2 hear Ghost on more Kanye beats

  71. Belize says:

    That’s it. I officially lost all respect for Raekwon for even CONSIDERING putting Justina Beaver on a rap song. I’m a Kanye fan, but if this shit goes out, I’m never gonna buy another record from him or say he my second favorite artist.
    Basically, this would be 100& career suicide for both of them.

  72. WhatsUpSon says:

    It’s totally possible to have a beat that fits all three artists. The beat for Lupe and Snoop’s “Hi-Definition” comes to mind (no pop star was on that song but the beat was still suitable for one).

  73. DrewDigital says:

    Gotta Make That Money Yo! &he gon get a lot for doin this… Haters can hate but he’s about to make millions of a fan-base who were previously completely unaware of who the Chef even was…They’ll potentially use the track on commercials&forms of other mainstream media that have become increasingly familiar w-personalities like the RZA&TonyStarks but was until now un-tapped by Raek…
    Therefore although the Mini-Lesbian-Lookalike “Beiber” may be a complete tool&an utter annoyance to most of us…Right now the Lil’Dudes doin BIG thangs&is sitting on top of the world…Everything he touches turns to gold!
    Put yourself in Raek’s position&remember this is how dude earns his living…

    The more u read Donn’s comments the more u thnk ‘this nigga must masturbate to THANKMELATER.’FOH man. Ths some b.s. Kanye? Wake the fuck up man! Get fresh Jay nd Nas verses 4 th power remix.Not this, nd nt tht see me nw trash either. Ths ws suppose 2 b Ye year. Ye’s abt 2 fall th fuck off man.

  77. T95 says:

    @Aaa are you fuckin kidding me? the whole wu is known worldwide.

  78. darius says:

    hell no! we can’t let this happen.I want to listen to quality music/hip-hop, i don’t necessarily want it to be mainstream.I’m Eastern European, so basically i’m white but i have to agree that sometimes white Americans are too “white”.

  79. darius says:

    yeah Aaa, even now i see a lot of Wu Tang Clan grafitti logos from the 90’s here in Romania.Wu is up no matter what!

  80. […] Maybe Rae wants some crossover success, or maybe he’s doing it for his kids, but, sorry rap fans (peep those comments), it’s happening. You can run for cover or bask in it, your choice. […]

  81. […] that Justin Bieber’s collaboration with Raekwon and Kanye is a go, the Chef called up 1515 to discuss his verse, which he kept PG. Of course, Wu Tang is for the […]

  82. Yeezzzzyy says:

    i mean i can’t see this song having a lot of soul like “power.” Yeezy probably won’t curse on it because of Bieber. This song is going to be made for strictly radio and radio only. That is the only logical reason i can think of this collaboration. There won’t be any heart into the song and will probably be about some chick. Kanye needs to stick doing what he does best and that is doing him and not falling into any of the hype (Justin Bieber)

  83. Heavenly says:

    I thought only white kids listened to wu

    yuk yuk yuk

    Serious tho wtf is Raekwon doing – giving this piece of bubblegum pop trashlet a place next door to him?

    Nas is right maybe hip hop is dead, we got hip pop now
