Kanye Rules Over Mom’s Money

Kanye West now has the control over his late mother’s money and can spend it in anyway he sees fit. An LA court judge granted a petition to make the rapper and Shawn Gee, Kanye’s financial adviser, as co-executors of Donda’s estate this past week. That means that they now control the late woman’s money which turns out, is less than $250,000. Donda died without a will. I think Kanye should just donate the money to research or for helping move laws to prevent the same events that happened to his mother. No one wants to hear another incident like Donda’s which could have obviously been prevented.

Kanye West: ‘People Think I’m Gay’

Rapper Kanye West has no regrets about speaking out against homophobia in hip-hop music, even though some people now assume he’s gay. But West, who in 2005 called for an end to homophobia in the rap community, admits he still wouldn’t feel comfortable socializing in a gay club, an attitude he attributes to his upbringing in Chicago, Illinois. Kanye is NOT gay. He is simply an advocate and somewhat of an activist on…hell whatever HE believes in, right, wrong or indifferent Kanye speaks his mind/heart and people seem to listen. Maybe not change their views BUT they do listen to the headlines he makes! Yeah the other thing is that most of these rappers and rockers mostly make the news for all the wrong reason with the loads of shit they speak. If there is some guy who can speak the truth and the right things then he is definitely a person whose views that could be cared about.

50 Cent vs. Kanye West

If you thought rapper 50 Cent couldn’t get any cockier, think again. Both 50 Cent and Kanye West have new albums due out on September 11th. In the past 50 has outsold West but there has recently been speculation that may not be the case this time around. Because of this 50 has made an outstanding wager. He says that if West’s album sells better than his he will stop writing and recording as a solo artist and will from then on only collaborate with others. 50 Cent has made statements in the past that West would not be successful if he had not been first. I think he’s giving himself too much credit. Kanye West’s music is greatly different from 50 Cent’s style. Though they are both rap they are nothing alike in sound. I personally think Kanye has much more groove and real musical feeling while 50 is all about the lipping off in rhyme. It almost makes me want to buy a cope of Kanye’s disc for every person I know. Why don’t you all do the same and we may be rid of 50 Cent after all?
