(AllHipHop News) A conversation with Kanye West can go millions of different ways and Kanye consciously chooses its direction. Mr. West gives his most expository interview with W Magazine where he touches on almost releasing his own sextape, Watch The Throne, how he really is a god and copious other quotables.
According to Kanye, the boastful “I Am God” was inspired by an unnamed fashion designer informing Kanye he could not attend any other events at Paris Fashion Week if he wanted to attend his runway:
“So the next day I went to the studio with Daft Punk, and I wrote ‘I Am a God. ‘Cause it’s like, Yo! Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go. Man, I’m the No. 1 living and breathing rock star. I am Axl Rose; I am Jim Morrison; I am Jimi Hendrix.”
The iconoclastic West continues with his comparisons to impactful cultural heros when discussing his 2011 collaborative album with Jay-Z Watch The Throne:
“It was like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates talking at the same time. You know which one of us was Steve.”
One of the more surprising revelations in the interview is Kanye’s admission that he was planning on releasing his stolen sex tape which was being shopped around last year. While the women in the video is still unknown, Kanye contends that the sextape would not have not tarnished his image but give it a noticable improvement:
“For the most part, I’d rather people have one of those home videos than some of the paparazzi photos that get published. At least I recorded the s### myself. That tape couldn’t have hurt me in any way if it came out—it could only have helped.”
The article also reveals that Kanye is the creative director for an upcoming Jetsons movie and has logged in some time in his home studio in Paris with The Weeknd. Also, West is releasing “a new men’s capsule collection of jeans, T-shirts, and hoodies for a hip French brand” in July according to the article. But the reach of a man who calls Yeezus his “god name” extends furhter than simply music and fashion according to the article:
” He’s plotting to create operas, stores, films, product packaging, amusement parks, and, possibly, entire cities.”

Damn! Poor Flo-Rida! It looks like he has 18 years or so of support to pay….AND THE KID AIN’T HIS! Peep what TMZ is saying.
Flo Rida’s baby mama is demanding the rapper fork over some dough for his kid … the very same kid Flo adamantly DENIED fathering — but now we know the truth.
The Florida Dept. of Revenue filed legal docs in connection with Gloria Holloway’s request for child support from Flo — real name Tramar Dillard — for Gloria’s two-year-old son.
As TMZ previously reported, Flo denied knocking up Gloria … and even claimed he took a paternity test that came back negative — but according to the new docs, the court has ALREADY established paternity.
Here’s why … when child support requests come through the state’s Dept. of Revenue — it usually means no one’s disputing it. Translation: Looks like Flo’s the daddy.
Now the state of FL wants Flo to hand over his financials so it can determine how much he owes.
We reached out to Flo … but no word back yet.

I know some people have something to say about Ye having this baby with Kim Kardashian, so they are really going crazy over this rumor. Folks are saying that Kanye West is getting set to propose to Kim and ask her for her hand in marriage.
The UK Sun has proclaimed that they will get married in September, but other sources are saying it ain’t true. Here is a rehashing from NJ.com.
In its report, The Sun, claiming knowledge of a planned September wedding in Paris, said West proposed to Kardashian after she gave birth to their daughter on June 15.
The report also said, West, 36, did not propose with an engagement ring. Instead, he allegedly gave Kardashian, 32, a $500,000 rare black diamond ring.
A friend of Kardashian confirmed to People.com that the couple plan to wed but said West has not yet proposed.
The couple put their baby — the first for each — on the map days ago with the announcement of her name, North.

(AllHipHop News) The internet can make a star out of a regular person and Presidential remix of a Daft Punk song out of spliced together speeches.
The people behind the YouTube channel Barackdubs pieced together numerous speeches from Barack Obama that contained words from Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” to create this impressive “remix”.
Barackdubs have other Obama dubs for songs such as Justin Beiber’s Carly Rae Jespen’s “Call Me Maybe”, Justin Beiber’s “Boyfriend” and others.

Well, Mobb Deep is celebrating their 20th anniversary and we are all very happy that the gods of rap blessed us with such a dope group. But, I am hearing that the guys ran into some issues with their European Tour, which was added after the domestic part of it all.
Basically, I heard that due to P’s legal past and whatnot, he was not able to get clearance to go to certain places outside of the US. I don’t know much more but I am going to pass off to the news department to get the real deal info.
Glad I live here…even though I didn’t see them on any of the dates.
