According to Contact Music, West says the rapper inspired his upcoming single and admits he accuses the star of “ripping him off” by collaborating with British band Coldplay.
However, Kanye says the song is more of an ode than anything else.
“Bad news travels fast so I expect some people to focus on certain lines.” Said Kanye.
“But I also sing, ‘If you admire someone you should tell ‘em/No one get the flowers when you can still smell them’. “When I played it to Jay he was emotional.” He continued.
In related news, the Louis Vuitton Don will be releasing his “Pastel” clothing line in November.
“Just getting the right designs. It’s a gift and a curse. You’ve got all eyes on you, so if you deliver something great, it’s gonna get held as, “Oh, it’s supposed to be great.” And even if it’s good or it’s OK or something, it’s gonna get bashed. There were phases where I could just do the bear on a Polo and it would’ve made $100 million.” Kanye tells Complex Magazine regarding the hold up of the release.
Kanye’s “Graduation” is set to hit stores on September 11th, while “Pastel” will hit shelves sometime in November.

IVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THAT TRACK I REALLY WANT TO HEAR IT. AND I DOUBT KANYE CLOTHING LINE WILL BE ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE STUFF AT ABERCROMBIE N FITCH.

but shit everybody has clothes now diddy jay fif nelly waynes droppin some clothes soon too
The bear on the polo and it would of made $100 million yet you didn;t do it Kanye???!!?!?!! THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHERE 50 AND KANYE ARE DIFFERENT,50 WOULD OF DONE THAT JUST FOR THE MONEY.
CO-SIGN
Who wouldn't do it for the money.. Kanye's just saying that.
i believe it too cuz have you seen those lacoste polos with the alligators or crocodiles on em they are like 70/80 bucks each and there hella popular just cuz of the gator they make millions dont see why kanyes bear couldnt
Kanye will need to do a little more than a fashion line if he hopes to outsell 50...abercrombie n fitch hahahhah...barry bonds is a tight track though
kanye
Kanye dont need to do shit to outsell 50. If 50 outsells Kanye, it's not because his record is better. It's because more people will buy 50 because they dont actually listen to rap/hip hop. Kanye's album will be much better than 50's on every level regardless of who sells more.
HOW DO YOU KNOW? LMAO! YOU KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS.
True!!
U is a str8 up hater
yea right id die before i bought a kanye west cd?
you died yet
But your buy a 50 cd how dumb you sound, Your listen to anything that is detrimental to your self now thats real smart of you...You must be 11 well hopefully.
me to i'll buy it off the street
if 50 outsells kanye its cause of millions of teenage girls, not hip hop fans. :) no hate to 50. and i cant wait to see what kinda clothing kanye is gonna have :D
Thats bullshit fif on some soft shit right now but damn hell no fif a way better rapper than kanye a TRUE hip hop fan would base that just off of fifs mixtapes and get rich or die tryin. kanye is more talented though cuz he'll make a hit on his own fif needs a dr. dre or a swizz beats u know.
10stacks, since when did 50 Cent not rap about hoes, cars, jewely ect.?
And if he did do a song without them themes, it's probably a one off, because all the songs I've heard of him are the same thing: hoes, cars, jewely.
Kanye West is much, much more talented as he raps on posibly every subject any orfinary rapper wouldn't. And atleast Kanye can rap more than 2 verses, and atleast he can rap for more than 2 bars.
(10stacks)
You have got to be out your fuckin mind,you need to take them 10stacks of rocks and not crack rocks meaning stone rocks out your pocket,Your starting to dumbout kid.Come back home somewhere down the road them rocks started to wear you down to where you can't think straight.Your starting to slur your words,and your also starting to beleave your own lies.come home,come home
These dudes will do anything for a little controversey to sell their cd. I wonder what fifty is going to do now?
damn kanye went at jay so his record would sell and damn his clothing line gone look sooo fukin homo i dont think kanye is gay but he usually dresses gay those jeans just be waaaayyyy tooooo tight and them fukin pink sweaters and shit. wow i would fuk dat pink sweater look up wit a ralph lauren polo and some true religion jeans THAT FIT AND ARE NOT TIGHT!!!!!! and some havana joes. kanye just looks gay though so i probably wouldnt wear his shit maybe a polo wit the bear but thats it.
You saying that Kanye dresses gay, but you're the one talking like a straight up pretty boy. What type of hip hop fan posts forums on how they would hook up an outfit ?? A feminine ass pretty boy that's who.
fuk you you probably some lame ass bumb who gets no pussy at home beatin yo dik to myspace hoes. dont hate on my non homo freshness.
Wouldnt rock his clothes or G-unit Fifty still gone get em more people like gangsta rap more than whatever Kanye does stick to producing cause lupe is much better.

All who buys kanye CD go buy his gears 2 see how gay u look upping out of your car
I bet you're still wearing a South Pole jacket and a baggy Fubu shirt and baggy jeans with some Mid 90's Nike's. Sorry fool, that shit is played out. Bash Kanye's fashion sense all you want, but he knows how to dress most of the time, and it's time people got a little classy instead of pretending to thug it out.
Bring on the polos and loafers. shit.

shit dat nigga got Jay emotional...50 said theres no competition...shit dat nigga 50 lost his mind...this is not get rich die tryin this is curtis and its goin straight to the garbage
Jea!!! Watever Nigga
This is hip-hop news. Kanye making Jay-Z cry. Also, Kanye bringing a whole new set of queer jeans for you to buy and wear. Wow.
Bring on the hate mail, but that whole side of rap, the Roc-a-fella side that is, is just a bunch of...well...a bunch of little girls honestly.
Quote from Taylor:
"Kanye dont need to do shit to outsell 50. If 50 outsells Kanye, it's not because his record is better. It's because more people will buy 50 because they dont actually listen to rap/hip hop. Kanye's album will be much better than 50's on every level regardless of who sells more."
If you think for a second that a preppy ass rapper like Kanye is going to outsell "Get Rich or Die Tryin" 50 cent, just shoot yourself.
If he actually pulls it off and outsells Fif, God help us all. I'm done with rap music if that happens, thats for sure.
lol yea that would be fuck up- if kanye out sold 50 i kinda thought nigga was gay with the cloths he had on but anyway ill buy 50 cd
Preppy doesn't mean he's gay you little piece of shit. Queer jeans? Dude, just because they aren't baggy fubus doesn't mean you have to hate. You continue to look like you just came off of the streets with your nappy hair and haven't taken a shower for a week, I think I, for one, will swear some nice jeans, a nice polo shirt, and some sick loafers to look fresh. Get the fuck out of here.
And since when has 50 cent been like get rich or die tryin 50 cent? Have you heard all the songs leaked from Curtis? This is candy shop 50 cent, not GRODT 50 cent. you're an idiot.
So pack your shit! This isn't the get rich cd anymore,People need to see that things don't last to long in this game.One min your hot and with the switch of the eye your not.50 had a good run but now he might be done.People get sleepy from hearing the same old toon.But now 50 has v-watered down his own shit,The same shit he blame Ja for doing he is now doing it.A song with Justin,that was a big fag move in my book because he himself always talked about others doing that shit and now he does it.But i know what he's thinking "I'M 50CENT" He feeling on himself way toooooo much he should just get down with baby and Lil Wanye and they can all touch on eachother for just the hell of it...
TRUTHFULLY.... 50 WILL OUTSELL KANYE TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WANNA HEAR THAT MURDER
MURDER KILL SHIT CAUSE THATS WHAT GETS PEOPLE HYPE AND FOR THE REALS GANGSTAS OUT
THERE WHO CAN REALLY RELATE. KANYE WEST IS A REAL NICE RAPPER BUT HE IS ON SOME
B-BOP SHIT AND MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO RAP/HIP HOP AND TRYING TO HERE THAT.
THATS Y CURTIS IS GOING TO OUTSELL KANYE!
AIN'T TRYING TO HERE THAT
kanye had to be just hypothetically speaking....
(100 miliion for just the bear on a polo)
if kanye outsells 50 it would only be based on the hype of the situation and the hae some have for 50. at the end of the day kanye is very gifted and has made plenty of classic songs but for some reason i can never rock to his whole album. even the massacre though was jive like all the way playable
fuk prepi styles its hot if mixed with urban but NO FUKING TIGHT ASS JEANS OR FLIP FLOPS THAT IS SO FUKING GAY.
do you think kanye wears flip flops and jeans... besides that fool gets more pussy then you ever will kanye aint gay homie
Ummm, HEy PENIS GuZZLer i didnt say kanye was gay as i stated further above this one i said he dresses gay. Pink Sweaters and shit. and tight ass clothes did you not see the stronger video why is he wearing apple bottoms and high tops. Take his dik out ya mouf and pay attention.

Damn what's wrong wit all you - yall sound so homo all obsessed talkin about kanye...he is the motherfuckin man up in this bitch so respect. 50 Cent now be officially a sellout, garbage ass, no inspiration, pussy of a rapper. Kanye speaks the truth and is fo real, keepin hip hop fresh so yall need to appreciate, ya dig!
As for this Pastel clothes line, sounds fresh to me i kinda like the name, them tight jeans ok maybe i'll pass, but u know he gonna have some good stuff
Ay yo i just watched the stronger video, his jeans ain't even that tight! Stupid ass whoever said that, got us all on some bullshiiiit...
OMG!!! Dick ridin to the upmost his pants aint THAT TIGHT you Fukin bitch type ass nigga. Kanye is a good artist okay but still da nigga dresses gay. And u actually watched a video just to see if a mans pants were tight. Wow i just noticed u actually was peering at his sack. FUkiN HOMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey stacks, the way you carry on are you sure you're not gay? Such an emotional, homophobic response - I think stacks has a little secret...Anyway, fuck the clothes, seriously whatever - hip hop aint about that - it's about the music. Kanye has produced some of the dopest shit in the last few years. He's not the best rapper but his beats are tight. Fif can rap but his rhymes ar whack. Candy Shop?? Come on man, that shit is whack!! And stacks, face up to the mirror my man, it's time to be honest with yourself.
hey def cam now come on let pretend you dont have down syndrome. wats homo is homo. its no secret that yo mamma suks me off er night and that kanye appears to be gay. im not sayin he is im just sayin if you didnt know who he was and you just saw him walkin through a mall he would probly appear gay. no he does appear gay.
you probly one of those undercover homos that be tryin to turn yo staight friends out and shit. you online tryna recruit faggots you and kanye some faggots.
Hey stacks, you closet punk, you want the truth? I never really thought you was gay - I was just fucking with you but now you talking about hitting my ugly ass mama I'm not so sure... That bitch so UGLY she look like a man, she got a beard like Freeway and now you say you been hittin that?? You really thought she was a man didn't you? Seriously though, who gives a fuck about th clothes - Kanyes's music is dope, 50's is whack and stacks - you still a punk.
hey stacks your a punk get the fuk outta hear ran outta shit to say so u insult your mother WAT THE FUK KINDA MAN ARE YOU. im done wit yo faggot ass probly up watchin oprah or sum shit. fukin baby sitters club ass mafuka. go read ya harry potter book you english faggot.
you stupid Bastard Bitch.
Ha ha ha,
you a funny ma fucka stacks...For a punk.
Bottom line, Kanye is portraying himself this way. Its not our fault he wants to look like that, but it is what it is. This news article is about his clothing line, and that is what we are discussing. We are discussing his metrosexual, pastel color wearin ass and how goofy he looks with that shit on. As for him sayin he dresses nice, thats his own opinion. And what makes it great is that in my opinion, he looks like another one of those faggot rappers with an ego problem :)
Why niggaz got to get so personal about people they will never meet. I think 50 cent and Kanye make good music. I'm a fan of good music. I could care less who out sells who and besides 50 cent has sold more in the past than Kanye so he'll sell more now. Why is it such a big deal all of a sudden?
That nigga 10stacks roasting yall. Shit is hilarious.
I won't touch kanye's clothing line from the waist down. Might rock a polo but not the jeans for damn sure.
And I'm not fuckin w/ 50 cent new album, but I Get Money is the shit.
all im sayin. they the ones wanna start shit cuz they dont like my opinion. wut kinda immature shit is that.
