The good people over at Fake Shore Drive got their hands on an unreleased Kanye West verse and beat, which he later gave to Trina for a song she did with Ludacris called “B R Right” off her sophomore album. Before this became a hit single, Kanye West first gave it to a singer named Myleka, which you can check out below.
Radar Online reports:
Now, as she and Kanye West enjoy their first months as new parents to North West and with the rest of her family under siege, it’s emerged that the E! reality star has made a stunning and surprising break – hiring a new publicist in a “bid to distance herself from her family melodrama,” according to the New York Post.
“Kim wants to set herself apart from the Kardashian p.r. machine and Kanye West advised her to build her own team,” an insider said, revealing the 32-year-old has hired Ina Treciokas as her mouthpiece, whose clientele includes Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson, Liev Schreiber and Justin Theroux.
She axed PMK*BNC’s Jill Fritzo, who has tirelessly represented her siblings for years.
A source tells RadarOnline.com: “Kim is letting Kanye revamp her entire lifestyle right now and she’s loving the changes he’s making, but she is still the same old schemer that she’s always been!”
Explaining the jab, the source said the hip-hop star’s well-heeled plans to turn his baby mama into an A-lister could be thwarted by just one person – Kim herself!
“Kim isn’t going to ever stop secretly texting the paparazzi or the people she knows that can help her stay famous,” the insider told Radar.
“Kanye would be really mad if he knew that she’s doing it, but Kim is still texting with paparazoos and talking to people that she knows will get her side of any story out.”
Said the source: “Kim knows what made and kept her famous. She isn’t going stop doing what she does, which is stay in the spotlight — and that’s no matter what she tells Kanye.”
From TMZ:
Kanye West has been charged with criminal battery and attempted grand theft for allegedly attacking a paparazzo at LAX on July 19 … TMZ has learned.
Kanye went off on the photog … who dared to speak with him as he left the airport. The photog went to the hospital and has filed a lawsuit. The photog hired Gloria Allred, who has said the attack left her client badly injured.
Just days before the attack Kanye issued multiple warnings to the paparazzi NOT to speak to him.
If convicted of both misdemeanors … Kanye faces a maximum of 1 year in jail.
He’ll be arraigned October 10th.
We attempted to reach Kanye’s lawyer, Blair Berk, but her assistant said she was unavailable “because it’s the highest holy day of the year for Jews” and she was at services.
Fun Fact: The L.A. City Attorney’s office nailed 2 men in the Kardashian fam in 1 day. They filed DUI charges against Lamar Odom this morning. Scott Disick … they’re watching you.
Kanye West had another classic rant tonight at Pusha T’s listening party, and if you weren’t in the building, here’s some footage.
“fuck the corporations,” “it’s all about good music,” “the goose got me loose right now” and “we don’t give a fuck about how much money you make.”

RapFix Live, Full Episodes
After the VMAs, a rumor hit the net that Miley Cyrus went in the studio to record something for Kanye West’s record ‘Black Skinhead’ off of Yeezus. Today, Mike Will Made It confirmed today on RapFix Live with Sway that Miley Cyrus will appear on ‘Black Skinhead (Remix)’. I wonder how this will sound?
We went to the studio with Kanye. So we went right back to work. We all working on that. Yea, it’s about done, man. I was just touching on the beat a lil bit. It’s sounding crazy too.
During Dave Chappelle’s set, he explains why he is a fan of Lil Wayne. At the 28:00 min mark he jokes about Lil Wayne and at the 40:00 min mark he tells a story about the first time Kanye West appeared on Chappelle’s Show, and why he knew the Chi-Town rapper would be a star.
From TMZ:
Lamar Odom has just been sued by the photog whose equipment the NBA star trashed on the street back in July … and the pap is partly blaming Kanye West for Lamar’s outburst, TMZ has learned.
Stefan Saad filed the lawsuit, claiming the NBA star assaulted him and destroyed more than $15,000 worth of camera equipment during the attack in the middle of a Hollywood street …all in an effort to avoid negative press.
The lawsuit trashes the Kardashians and Lamar with gems like this — “The Kardashian clan has apparently come to believe that it is above the law, and has some exceptional privilege to disregard the rights of others.”
The lawsuit goes on “The Kardashian clan are not only wealthy and attractive — but also deeply flawed.”
As we reported, Lamar blew a gasket after the pap peppered him with questions about cheating on Khloe, opening Saad’s car and tossing all his gear onto the pavement, including expensive camera equipment.
Lamar then took a bundle of the photog’s crap, placing it in his own car. The entire incident was caught on tape.
According to Stefan’s lawsuit, Lamar feels like he’s “above the law” because he’s married to a Kardashian sister. Stefan even believes Kanye West had a hand in all this, claiming the rapper (who’s dating Kim) advised him on how to deal with paparazzi in a Kanye fashion.
Stefan is suing for assault, conversion (stealing property), and trespass of property, demanding in excess of $565,000 … not including punitive damages.
Pusha T opens up about his infamous Lil Wayne tweet, why Kanye West kicked him out of the studio while producing “My Name Is My Name,” and Eazy E’s influence on hip hop. – FUSE
Kanye West made a surprise unannounced appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday to perform his new single, “Bound 2″ with Charlie Wilson backed by The Roots. Kanye plans to hits the road with Kendrick Lamar for the Yeezus Tour in November. Kanye also threw a shot a Ray J in the beginning.
Kanye West just took to Twitter to announce his first solo tour (promoting Yeezus) in 5 years, which will also feature Kendrick Lamar.
According to Radar Online , Lamar Odom is thinking about doing a tell all book – to get back at the Kardashians for leaking all his business to TMZ.They say that he will get $5M as an advance for the book. And here is some of the stuff they said will be in the book:
With all of the bad publicity surrounding his DUI and trouble marriage, Lamar is hitting rock bottom and blaming his wife’s family.
“He’s freaking out because he’s losing everything. He feels all the Kardashians are against him,” the report claims.
And no one is off limits, especially not Khloe’s sister Kim. “Lamar may go after Kim, who can be a self-absorbed monster,” the magazine reports.
“Lamar could also expose what Kim’s done for money, who she’s slept with and the awful things she’s said about Kanye West, like how he smells bad in bed and how she’s not attracted to him.”
According to the report, the truth about Khloe’s father not really being Robert Kardashian could be revealed
According to Page Six , Miley Cyrus skipped her own after party to go in the studio with Kanye West to record something for remix to Black Skinhead. There’s also a rumor that a remix EP of Yeezus is coming later this year.

UPDATE: …and now we know. He’s currently performing the track on the VMAs. Booyah.
Kanye West just posted this to his Twitter account…..not sure what it means (I can only assume it’s a snapshot of a visual for the aforementioned song), but I certainly can’t wait to find out.
Extinction Level Event is headed to your town, and Busta Rhymes is officially preparing for the visual release of his first single; Miss Info was on-hand for the video shoot to ‘I Wanna Thank You’, which features giants Kanye West, legendary Busta Rhymes collaborator Q-Tip and a I-hope-he-stepped-his-bars-back-up-for-this Lil Wayne. Check out some dope Instagram video clips below.

Luckily (or not really, as you will see), VIBE had asked this very question…..in a recent feature centering on West, they made some respectable efforts to get some first-hand information on DONDA (who has made album artwork such as Big Sean’s Hall Of Fame, Lil’ Wayne’s I Am Not A Human Being 2 and both of 2 Chainz’ albums) and who exactly makes up the company:
Following West’s lead, the DONDA collective hasn’t done interviews regarding their affiliation. LinkedIn profiles and liner notes help piece together a rough masthead, but there’s no clear consensus on who’s involved. One source suggested finding Virgil Abloh because “he is DONDA.”
Abloh’s credited title has varied from head creative director to art director for DONDA. It’s easy to see why the Chicago native and former architect would be Kanye’s right-hand man when it comes to DONDA. Abloh has the holier-than-thou hipster vibe down cold. He’s a Birkin-bag-carrying dude who owns a clothing boutique that sells $200 T-shirts. He drops obscure style references, like waxing poetic about the genius of German industrial designer Dieter Rams.
The rest of the DONDA stable is virtually anonymous. And West has a tradition of cobbling together a rotating cast of collaborators, which makes it tough to distinguish who’s actually part of the core clique. Liner notes on Yeezus list Joe Perez as DONDA graphic designer and Justin Saunders as art director. Those who are believed to have worked with the company consistently include West’s longtime barber and style consultant Ibn Jasper, art directors Matthew Williams and Guido Callarelli and graphic designers Nathaniel Brown and Alex Milsom. Perez declined to be interviewed, and the others did not respond to requests. Before Abloh could even be contacted, he sent a pre-emptive refusal: “We appreciate the interest, but our staff is not doing interviews at the moment. If our stance changes, we will be in touch.”

Kanye West appeared on Kris Jenner’s show today and spoke on being in love with Kim Kardashian, their baby North West (the first picture revealed right here), loving family life, missing his mother, being a “visual” artist and much more.
Kanye West appeared on his mother-in-law’s show Kris Jenner today and while on the show he reveal his daughter’s picture to the world for the first time.
Kanye West is “allegedly” sharing the first baby pics of his daughter North West on The Kris Jenner Show this Friday. You can watch out a quick segment of the show above.
We have been off and on with the whole ‘Quote of the Day’ thing, but if there’s a good one, I’ll post it. This one comes from Drake’s latest interview in XXL:
“It’s tough to get into a war of words with Kanye because he’s a huge reason why I’m here, why I’m confident enough to step to a mic and say, “Ok, I don’t have any murder or bricks or drugs to talk about, but I can tell you about myself, and if you’re willing to listen we can get into it.” Kanye was kind of the first guy to give me that boost of confidence. It’s tough to engage in any sort of confrontation with that guy. At the end of the day, I do look up to him. And if he feels the need to remind people that, so be it.”
Drake didn’t just party with Kylie Jenner for her 16th birthday; he also enjoyed a dinner with the rest of the Kardashian family — including in-law Kanye West. Looks like these dudes are best buds now, no?
Check out some additional Drake/Kylie birthday action below.
According to the LA Times:
“The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office on Friday declined to file felony assault and attempted robbery charges against the singer and referred the issue to the L.A. city attorney to see if the incident warranted a misdemeanor charge.”
Watch the original footage here.
TMZ has snapped the first pictures of Kim and Kanye with their newborn baby daughter North West…kinda. The happy family were seen leaving a medical clinic in L.A. yesterday, although a nanny was carrying North West in a car seat covered by a blanket.
