I’m still kind of hungover from Howard Homecoming, so I don’t know if this was before of after his appearance in Oakland, but Kanye West had more to say to his audience regarding doing interviews, the racist fashion industry and more. Additional clip below.
While at the Oakland stop of his Yeezus, Kanye West went into another rant; this time, he directed his venom toward one of his biggest fans: the media. He also went on to say that he controls the media and does whatever he wants. Check out the rant above.
During Kanye’s Yeezus tour stop in San Jose on Tuesday, he blessed the fans with a new track that he previewed during his entrance (at the 2:48 mark). The song is called “I Am Not Here” and I’m not sure where this song will end up. Let’s hope for another Kanye album this year.
TMZ reports:
Family sources tell us … Bruce and Kanye have never had a “real conversation.” As we previously reported, Bruce was not happy when Kim hooked up with Kanye so quickly after she left Kris Humphries.
We’re told Kanye is the one who planned every detail of the surprise proposal. We do not know exactly why Bruce was not invited — whether it was because of Kanye or because of Bruce’s separation from Kris.
We do know … Bruce didn’t even know Kanye was popping the question until he got a call from Kim immediately after she got engaged. We’re told Bruce was Kim’s first call, because Kim considers him to be her father.
Rhymes With Snitch reports:
“Kanye’s in love with Kim to the point of infatuation. It’s scary because the love is so powerful, Kanye doesn’t even want to have a prenup,” the source says. “He thinks it’s tacky and he doesn’t want to offend Kim or make anything seem awkward. He loves Kim too much for that to even cross his mind. He thinks of his money and his accomplishments as hers and he wants to share them with her — no strings attached.”
Earlier we reported that Kanye West & Kim Kardashian are looking to sue the person who leaked their proposal video. The person in question, YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, was apparantly the one who released it, via his Twitter page:
So this happened last night. Congrats Kim & Kanye! https://t.co/o1FKsB87He

According to TMZ, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West want to sue whoever leaked the video of Kanye’s wedding proposal. Sources say that they have an idea of who leaked the video, since they made everyone in attendance sign a confidentiality agreement.
TMZ reports:
Here it is … the video of Kanye West begging Kim Kardashian in the most grandiose way possible to become his lawful wedded wife.
Kanye and Kim were planted on the infield at AT&T Park in San Francisco Monday night when he got down on his knee and popped the question, while an orchestra played in the background.
The hug that ensues tells the story … Kim said yes, she got a 15-carat diamond ring and they went off into the sunset and drank a lot.
In addition to his interview with The JV Show, Kanye West also held an interview with 106 KMEL, where he spoke on Jimmy Kimmel, Yeezus and more. Additional clips below.
Hopsin drops takes shots at Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar on a new record, entitled ‘Hop Is Back’, off his upcoming project Knock Madness which is set to drop November 26th.
Kanye West sat down with San Francisco’s The JV Show and spoke about bringing out Jesus on stage, him being apart of the Illuminati and more.
I had a friend of mine that is a pastor there as we were discussing how we were going to do it. My girl even asked afterwards “isnt that weird if Jesus comes on stage or something like that?” No we do plays all the time where people play Jesus. What’s awesome about Christianity is that we are allowed to portray God.
According to E!, Kanye West popped the big question to Kim Kardashian at San Francisco’s AT&T Park. Kanye rented out the stadium for a private event with family and friends before doing the deed, getting down on one knee and presenting Kim with a 15-carat diamond ring made by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. Kim said yes while the orchestra played Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful”.
Kanye isn’t the only one postponing dates, either. From MTV:
While Kanye West hit a roadblock Saturday during opening night of his Yeezus Tour in Seattle, Sunday’s second stop in Vancouver has been halted completely.
West has already rescheduled Sunday’s date to October 31, but he still left a bunch of disappointed fans who were expecting to see the star rapper and a much-hyped appearance by Jesus Christ — or rather an actor playing the biblical figure.
There is no official word on why the show was cancelled, but on Saturday, Kanye’s concert was delayed approximately two hours as ticket holders were left outside of Seattle’s KeyArena until doors were opened at around 9 p.m. A security guard on site told MTV News that the stage set-up took longer than expected and that was the reason for the delay. Def Jam, Kanye’s record label, has yet to respond.
Kanye’s Yeezus stage is rather elaborate. When we saw Saturday’s set-up, it was anchored by a giant mountain, the performance space stretched out approximately 50 feet into a sea of standing fans on the KeyArena floor. During his two-hour show, West would use the entire stage, performing some songs on the mountain and others on the extended cliff-like stage.
UPDATE: Good news Ye fans — you can now purchase Yeezus tour merch over at PacSun.

Vlad TV reports:
X-Men producer John Palermo went on a racist rant on his Facebook page, and exclusively called out Kanye West after learning that the “Blood on the Leaves” rapper bought a house with Kim Kardashian in Bel-Air. The producer, who was once co-owner of Seed Productions with Hugh Jackman, seemed to knock Kim and Kanye’s style, calling their home a “poor Persian palace.”
“There goes the neighborhood!!! It looks like a Poor Persian Palace, where’s Kris Jenner when you need her?! #MoneyCantBuyADumbN****Class.”
Palermo had previously made shocking statements on his Facebook page, slinging gay slurs at Anderson Cooper and making other racist remarks about Julie Chen. He has since taken down the offensive messages, but claims he was only trying to raise awarness of the racism in Hollywood.
“Maybe people [who take offense] will look in the mirror and say, ‘When was the last time I called Les Moonves and asked for an African-American to play opposite me?'”
Dear paparazzi: It may be okay to talk to Kanye West again … at least based on this incredible video of KW chatting up photogs at a gas station. – TMZ
The below excerpt is taken from Grantland, where you can check out Kimmel’s full take on that interview.
I really enjoyed last night’s episode of Kanye West Live! featuring Jimmy Kimmel. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen you get run over like that.
Well, y’know — one thing I learned on the radio is the value of shutting up and listening. He had a lot to say and he seemed very passionate and I felt like I was absorbed by it, and I thought the audience was too. They told me afterward that in the green room you could hear a pin drop, which is rare. Usually no one in the green room is paying any attention to the show.He was staring directly into your eyes the entire time.
I think, to me, the best guests do lock on and make eye contact. I think it’s odd when the guest plays to the audience, unless they’re demonstrating something. It doesn’t seem like a conversation. I feel less involved when the guest is directing their story to the audience instead of the host.

Kanye West’s song ‘Gone’ featuring Cam’ron and Consequence (which is taken from his 2005 album Late Registration) debuted on the Billboard 100 at #18 this week after writer and comedian Marina Shifrin used the song to let her boss know she was quitting her job. She had this below to say about the video:
I work for an awesome company that makes news videos. I have put my life into this job, but my boss says quantity, speed and views are what is most important.
I believe it’s more important to focus on the quality of the content. When you learn to improve this, the views will come. Here is a little video I made explaining my feelings.
Kanye West appeared on Jimmy Kimmel tonight on ABC to talk about his wife Kim Kardashian, the birth of their first child North West, struggles breaking into the fashion industry, racism, and more.
