Kanye West Surprises Fans At China Show With New Song Preview

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West fans in China were in for a treat at his VULTURES listening party with Ty Dolla $ign, getting more than what they bargained for. Moreover, he previewed a new song seemingly titled “Preacher Man,” which features some simple and high-pitched vocal sampling under his passionate auto-tuned singing, eventually leading into a rap verse and earthy electric guitar strums. It sounds reminiscent of 808s & Heartbreak to a degree, mixed in with the more minimal, atmospheric, and dramatic approach of much of Ye’s 2020s output so far. Many fans in the comments section of the post below wrote statements like “Ye beat washed allegations” given the disappointed reception to VULTURES 2.

Furthermore, Kanye West reportedly said that this new song will appear on his next project, which is unsurprisingly a mystery at press time. Actually, that’s giving it too much credit: there are no details to speak of at all. We just have rumblings of inspiration and studio work, but no indication if this will be a solo album or the conclusion to the promised VULTURES trilogy. Considering how chaotic and shoddy the releases turned out so far, we wouldn’t express shock if its third installment remains a myth for a long time.

Elsewhere in China, Kanye West got to meet a lot of excited fans while traveling with his wife Bianca Censori, who looked as scantily-clad and unbothered as ever. It’s clear that there’s still a lot of demand for Ye to pop out, even as his controversies continue to mount. Also, it’s much more of a global affair now, as these VULTURES listening parties took him and Ty Dolla $ign all over the world. We’ll see whether or not they continue to cater to as many fans as possible as they traverse the industry with their choices in mind, for better or worse.

Speaking of controversy, Azealia Banks recently accused Kanye West’s associate Milo Yiannopoulos of hiding Ye’s alleged abuse of Bianca Censori. “Tell the world about how Kanye is Beating up Bianca Censori and how he threw a chair at northwest the other day big mouth,” she tweeted at Yiannopoulos. “Tell the story of you and Elon making racist jokes about Kanye as if the two of you don’t both look like f***in hog cheese.”

Kanye West Posts Cryptic Instagram Message As Fans In China Get Hyped For Concert

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of Kanye West’s China concert with Ty Dolla $ign for their VULTURES parties (which will be his first in the country in 16 years), he just confused a lot of fans online. Moreover, he posted a picture of him wearing a hoodie with what seems like Chinese on it with the caption “TOLD YOU.” While no one really knows what this means, one can easily assume that this relates to Ye’s concert, possibly to the specifics of how long it took him to return to China. Either way, his die-hards are ready. They gathered outside the Hainan stadium where he’ll perform tomorrow (Sunday, February 15) to play his music.

As you can see in the Twitter post below, other Kanye West fans in China went to great lengths to express their excitement. They traveled with custom luggage honoring him, and a couple of cars were spotted around town that either quote or represent Ye to a certain degree. We’re sure that his travels in the country with his wife Bianca Censori already saw him run into plenty of these excited admirers. Tomorrow night, we’ll see how the listening party turns out.

Kanye West’s Bizarre IG Post

Elsewhere, though, Kanye West is still as controversial as ever, with Azealia Banks recently accusing his associate Milo Yiannopoulos of hiding Ye’s alleged abuse of his Censori. “Tell the world about how Kanye is Beating up Bianca Censori and how he threw a chair at northwest the other day big mouth,” she ranted on Twitter. “Tell the story of you and Elon making racist jokes about Kanye as if the two of you don’t both look like f***in hog cheese.”

Fans Get Excited For VULTURES Concert

However, beyond this, there are plenty of other reasons as to why Kanye West’s public image soured over the past few… Months? Years? Take your pick. Regardless, there’s still new releases and moves on the horizon, as Playboi Carti recently teased that they will have more collabs on the Atlanta creative’s next album. Maybe we do see an artistic return to form in the near future, although there’s not as much hope for his questionable behavior. But there will always be many fans that will be there to support even if they don’t understand or care about every single little IG post.

Bianca Censori Flaunts Her Barely-Covered Curves While In China With Kanye West

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori clearly isn’t letting up with her revealing and curvy style that has apparently inspired other influencers to get more lewd. Moreover, she donned a sheer nude-colored top and leggings while exploring China with her husband Kanye West, and they were turning heads everywhere they went. You can click on the “Via” link down below to see the pictures and videos for yourself. This footage is from the couple’s time in the Intercontinental Hotel’s lobby in Haikou this morning (Friday, September 13). As for Ye, he wore an all-white tracksuit, so he was a bit more secretive and snug to balance out his wife’s more loose ensemble.

As you probably already know, Bianca Censori and Kanye West have been traveling the world for the past couple of years, popping up all over Europe, Asia, and the Americas, along with some other continents and countries. A lot of this is for Ye’s VULTURES rollout and listening parties, such as his recent event with Ty Dolla $ign in Korea. Bianca and his kids were there to support, so we assume they’ve all been able to share some quality time.

Elsewhere, as for Bianca Censori’s husband, Kanye West is not in the best place right now, whether with his fans or the world at large. VULTURES 2 underwhelmed in every sense of the word, and between lawsuits, misconduct allegations, and a whole lot of bigotry, his public image remains tarnished. But that doesn’t mean that Ye will disappear or lay low for the rest of the year… After all, it’s never long until he pops up again. Playboi Carti recently teased that they will have more collabs on the Atlanta creative’s upcoming album.

Meanwhile, Azealia Banks recently went on a wild rant (partially) against Kanye West, accusing him of physically abusing Bianca Censori. “Tell the world about how Kanye is Beating up Bianca Censori and how he threw a chair at northwest the other day big mouth,” she shared on Twitter against Ye’s associate Milo Yiannopoulos. “Tell the story of you and Elon making racist jokes about Kanye as if the two of you don’t both look like f***in hog cheese.”

Playboi Carti Hypes Up Kanye West Collab On Upcoming Album

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is back… For now. Of course, it’s entirely possible that this whole rollout hype ends up being a false flag, but we’d rather keep our optimism while we can. As such, many fans are more excited than ever for the confirmed release of his new album, I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC? We’ll see…). This became especially true after the Atlanta rage star hinted at more Kanye West collabs on this next project. “@ye KANT WAIT 2 SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE BEEN WORKING ON WIT DIS ALBUM WE DA REAL 5L NO DOUBT,” he shared on his Instagram Story on Friday (September 13), which is coincidentally Carti’s birthday. Happy trip around the sun!

However, just as many fans are skeptical due to Ye’s shoddy releases as of late. But the two have a relatively extensive collaborative history dating back to the Chicago artist’s executive production on Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red and feature on its track “Go2DaMoon.” Almost everything else has been on Kanye West albums: “Off The Grid” and “Junya” off Donda, “Mr. Miyagi” off Donda 2, “FUK SUMN” and “CARNIVAL” off VULTURES 1, “FIELD TRIP” off VULTURES 2, and Ye’s production on Carti’s “2024.” Another reason for skepticism, though, concerns Carti’s new single “ALL RED.”

Playboi Carti & Kanye West Have More On The Way

Furthermore, many fans think that Playboi Carti emulated Future too much on this new song, even if they’re grateful that he finally seems to be kicking his next era into full gear. We’ll see what the next step is in this process. Elsewhere, he also put up pre-orders for box sets of the new album, which you can pair with a hoodie, a T-shirt, or a hat. As far as a release date or anything like that, everyone is still in the dark.

According to the Opium boss’ website, these pre-orders will ship no later than six months after September 12, so that’s at least one indication suggesting that the latest we could get the LP is around March or April of next year. Hopefully, it’s sooner… Regardless of all this, there is one other Playboi Carti collab on the horizon that definitely has fans more excited. He recently was a special guest at The Weeknd’s São Paulo show to debut a new song together.

Pusha T Explains How Kanye West Took “Follow God” Away From Clipse

September 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pusha T and Kanye West have a very complicated relationship, and one that isn’t very amicable right now. Still, that doesn’t mean that they can’t look back on their extensive history, even if some of these reflections indicate more contentious moments. For example, Push and his brother No Malice spoke to Rolling Stone ahead of their upcoming reunion album as Clipse. During this conversation, they recalled pulling up to Wyoming in the late 2010s to work with Ye on his upcoming material, which included a self-titled 2018 album, Pusha’s own solo LP, and the Chicago artist’s 2019 project Jesus Is King.

Furthermore, this was the first time that Clipse worked together in almost ten years, but according to Pusha T, it was frustrating. Kanye West would allegedly “nix” Pusha’s ideas, but there was a lot of back-and-forth inspiration. One instance was when he and No Malice recorded over the “Follow God” beat, a song that eventually became a solo cut on Jesus Is King. “He gave us the beat. Forgot about the beat. We working on the records,” Pusha explained. “We laid [vocals] to it,” NM recalled. “Kanye was like, ‘I need that back,’” the “Nosetalgia” spitter added.

Of course, we all know that Clipse eventually reunited on Jesus Is King‘s “Use This Gospel” alongside Kanye West and Kenny G. As for their next moves, Pusha T and No Malice are just waiting on one feature for their new album Let God Sort Em Out before it drops later this year. “I’m so excited about this new Clipse album,” Push told the Ghetto Runways podcast recently. “That’s what I’m on right now. It’s absolutely finished. Just waiting on a feature. Just waiting on a feature, bro, just one feature.”

Meanwhile, Pusha T recently explained why Kanye West still collaborates a lot despite his volatile and bigoted ways as of late. “I believe that there’s a level of visibility that comes along with being next to somebody like Ye,” he told Complex. “At the end of the day, it’s a level of musicality and genius-level production that comes along with being next to him. So you get a lot of things that I think artists are looking for these days in being next to him. It’s all about the music for me and just making music at a certain level. I’ve been in this game a long time, so it’s about a certain type of hip-hop that I want to make. And truthfully, Ye definitely knows what I like to make, and I only want to be a part of things that I want to do.”

Ex-Yeezy Designer Claims Kanye West Has “Lost His Mind” And Works With “Toxic Losers”

September 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is still rolling VULTURES out with Ty Dolla $ign, but he’s also dealing with a media firestorm that has raged on for years now. For example, one of the many consequences of his antisemitic rants was the end of his Yeezy parternship with Adidas in 2022, one that famous sneaker designer Steven Smith helped broker all the way back in 2016. But it seems like that ship has also sailed. Moreover, new reports emerged that Ye fired Smith in early August of this year, and Smith spoke to Fast Company about this development. They described him as “a sensitive defender of Ye and, in particular, the treatment of his mental health.”

“He’s lost his mind,” Steven Smith said of Kanye West, which definitely indicates that he’s no longer as sympathetic as the publication suggested. “The whole of Yeezy is circling the drain and this is just part of it. He has surrounded himself with toxic, C-grade losers. […] I’m in a very happy place with it all. I will certainly be a priceless asset to whoever I work with next. It’s all his loss and the result of his foolishness.”

Kanye West & Steven Smith At The Fast Company Innovation Festival In 2019

Furthermore, Kanye West has apparently also blocked Steven Smith on Instagram, but Smith didn’t really elaborate on why Ye fired him, or if this is actually how things went down. After all, Fast Company claims that Smith “reached a breaking point” when the Chicago artist tried and failed to launch a porn company. But it’s difficult to identify exactly what caused the breakdown of their relationship, mostly because the heaps of controversy over the past few years leave a lot of options on the table.

Meanwhile, other Kanye West antics these days involve the arrest of a woman who claims he telepathically ordered her to steal a car. Whether it’s the zaniest of zany headlines or legitimately disturbing sexual harassment accusations, there’s a lot to unpack. Sadly, things haven’t really gotten any easier to deal with as of late. We just have to wait and see what happens next in the saga of Ye, and hope that there are brighter days to come.

Big Sean Surprisingly Raps Over A Kanye West Beat On New Song, “Fighting Fires”

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean’s new album Better Me Than You comes out in just a couple of hours (Friday, August 30), and fans can’t wait to hear what’s in store. However, some new SoundCloud-exclusive singles (or perhaps loosies) also have folks wondering whether we will get an update to one of his most complex sagas as a career musician. Of course, we’re talking about the Sean Don’s relationship with Kanye West, a complicated and often contentious one, especially in the 2020s decade. Nevertheless, Sean recently rapped about his status in the rap game on “Fighting Fires,” a SC-only song that used the beat from Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s “MY SOUL” off of VULTURES 2.

This version of the cut features the VULTURES duo speaking about freedom, religion, and mass incarceration alongside Ty’s brother TC. Big Sean, on the other hand, provides more of a boastful and bar-heavy hip-hop display over the same “MY SOUL” instrumental. Another SoundCloud exclusive, “Dirty Work,” was taken down from the platform, so we don’t know if these are actual Better Me Than You singles or just random leftovers. Nevertheless, he had teased “Fighting Fires” all the way in July as a potential Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign collaboration on their next VULTURES effort, but we now know that this didn’t work out.

Big Sean’s “Fighting Fires”: Listen

Rather, it seems like the former G.O.O.D. Music colleagues instead have their own individual versions of this cut. Big Sean has been through a lot to release Better Me Than You, so it’s no surprise that he wanted to get this release off his chest in some way. The album faced a full leak earlier this year, and many fans even thought that Kanye West was responsible for this. Sean himself dismissed this notion, instead showing love to Ye despite his disparaging comments about his G.O.O.D. signee during a previous interview.

Meanwhile, Kanye West isn’t the only person that allegedly inspired Big Sean amid this Better Me Than You rollout. Many Baby Keem fans felt like Sean was biting his style, another idea that he didn’t subscribe to at all. Nevertheless, his inspirations and dedications –wherever they come from – should make for a really compelling album experience. Here’s hoping that the lyrical firmness we’ve heard on these teaser cuts remains a prevalent theme on the LP.

Kanye West Dedicates A Track To Drake At “VULTURES” Listening Event And Fans Are Very Confused

August 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s recent VULTURES listening party in Korea on Thursday night (August 22) was more bizarre than most, and that’s saying something. Moreover, the reason why people raised their eyebrows at this particular event has to do with the former artist’s mention of one of his former friends turned current rivals. “This one’s for Drake, this one’s for Ian Connor,” Ye told the crowd when “I Wonder” started to play. Considering the track’s lyrical content and the questionable backgrounds of these figures, some fans took this as a diss about them being unable to find their dreams or a legitimate shoutout.

Either way, fans expressed confusion over this on social media, and aren’t really stepping in to defend neither Drake nor Ian Connor. Well, for Drizzy, a lot of fans think that Kanye West is just using his name for clout or once again walking back his previously negative stance on him. This year, that stance manifested into a “Like That” remix amid the Toronto rapper’s many beefs and plenty of disparaging comments down the line. Perhaps the sheer defeat he faced at the hands of Kendrick Lamar made Ye more sympathetic to his plight.

Jokes aside, some recent new footage of both Kanye West and Drake paints this picture in a more complicated fashion. Ye spoke to Candace Owens in a resurfaced 2022 interview about the 6ix God. “Drake is the best rapper ever by the numbers. Jay-Z is the greatest rapper ever by the inspiration,” he remarked. It’s funny that all these three artists collaborated on a song five years after Aubrey pretty much provoked Ye and Hov’s Watch The Throne album in a competitive fashion.

Meanwhile, as part of his 100 GIGS footage release, Drake showed off the process behind creating the hook for Kanye West’s “Yikes.” As such, it’s a bizarre time to view the relationship between these two titans of the music industry. Fans have as much access to their collaborative highs as they do to their pettily personal lows. We’ll see whether Ye explains this dedication, and whether they will ever reconcile.

Bianca Censori Isn’t Worried About Her Cleavage During KFC Stop With Kanye West

August 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As somewhat cringe-inducing lyrics on songs like “Lord I Need You” off 2021’s Donda prove, Kanye West likes some Kentucky Fried Chicken every once in a while. Sadly, his other chicken references (about breasts and thighs…) on other projects, namely VULTURES 2, are even more uncomfortable. Do we even need to talk about “Closed On Sunday”? Nevertheless, speaking of finger-licking good breasts and thighs, Ye recently hit up a KFC with his wife Bianca Censori, who clearly understood that this would be a funny double entendre. She wore a skimpy top for the occasion (as usual), showing off a lot of cleavage. Fans learned of this stop thanks to some CCTV footage you can find by clicking the “Via” link down below if you’re curious.

Furthermore, believe it or not, this isn’t the most bizarre or random public interaction that Kanye West and Bianca Censori have experienced in recent days. Well, considering all their antics, maybe that’s not saying much. Regardless, they recently ran into a group of supporters at what seemed like a Beverly Hills pro-Trump event, and they were very happy to see them pull up on the side of the street. Ye and Trump still seem quite chummy, so this is no surprise.

As for other Kanye West news… As you can imagine, it’s a bit of a doozy. Far-right pundit Nick Fuentes recently claimed that he wanted to change his name to a swastika, which is a pretty self-explanatory red flag. But considering previous antisemitic rants, name changes, and other reclamations of identity, we guess we can’t express too much shock at this claim. After all, it’s just an unfounded claim from a distant colleague, so there might not be any truth to this.

Meanwhile, another unconfirmed story around this couple is that Kanye West is allegedly obsessed with getting Bianca Censori pregnant. “[Kanye’s] been trying to have it done the natural way, but the word is he’s been a little unsuccessful,” an alleged source reportedly told In Touch. “So apparently now he’s planning the insemination or IVF route. One of the main reasons he picked and groomed Bianca is because [he thinks] that her DNA will be a perfect blend with his to make the most genetically blessed offspring. He’s always obsessed [over] achieving the perfect human specimen. So he’s very excited to have Bianca consulting with doctors to figure out the best option.”

Kanye West Greets A Big Group Of Trump Supporters Cheering Him On In Beverly Hills

August 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Bianca Censori were strolling around Beverly Hills on Saturday (August 17) in a Cybertruck when they ran into a very curious sight. However, it was actually this curious sight that reacted excitedly when they spotted the couple, as a group of Trump supporters quickly swarmed the vehicle when they realized who was inside. It’s unclear if this group was at a rally of some sort, a casual gathering, a protest, or some other form of organized activity. Nevertheless, they started chanting Ye’s name, and he drove off when it became more about him than about old Donald. We know that he seemed to continue to support the convicted former president this year, so maybe they’re still buddy-buddy.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, recently made a blunt statement about Kanye West on Adin Ross’ stream. “He’s very complicated,” he said of the Chicago artist during his sit-down with Ross. “He’s a really nice guy. But he can get himself into trouble and get some other people, but you know. He’s got a good heart, he does. But he’s complicated.”

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Overwhelmed By Trump Supporters

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

Elsewhere, Kanye West fans are witnessing yet another album cycle update itself in real time thanks to some new VULTURES 2 changes. Sadly for him and Ty Dolla $ign, these tweaks and fixes haven’t really turned people around when it comes to their assessment of the project’s quality. Many fans think that this is one of the more disappointing releases in the Ye catalog, and certainly one of the most unkempt. We’ll see if the third installment ever comes, but after these divisive drops, we know that many fans would rather just have him and Ty leave that in the vault.

Meanwhile, some other musical tweaks on Taylor Swift’s behalf suggest that she sent some shade Kanye West’s way on her new updated album. Particularly, it’s seemingly a reference to Kim Kardashian. But that’s mostly speculative despite their long history of beef, a history that makes it pretty hard to see this song title change as anything but a subliminal. Regardless, this Trump-related interaction shows that Ye still has some pull within that crowd for better or worse, and hopefully this doesn’t energize him to fire back in the same way he has for the past two years or so.
