Performing last night (Feb 23rd) at Los Angeles’ Club 10ak, Hip-Hop sensation and media dynamo Kanye West premiered his new track titled “Closest Thing to Einstein” featuring British singer Sampa to the adoring spectators. West released his new album The Life Of Pablo earlier this month, the follow up to 2013’s Yeezus and features guest spots from Rihanna, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Chris Brown, Kendrick Lamar and more. In addition, reported by Paste magazine, earlier this morning via twitter Kanye announced yet another new album dropping in the summer. This announcement was followed after a couple of tweets in which he criticized the Grammy’s, and praised the First Amendment. Not shy to keeping the focus of Twitter and music writers all to himself, it is safe to say that the hip-hop mogul has had a very interesting 24 hours.
According to NME magazine, Kanye West’s performance late last night came with more than just his fresh beats, the rapper (who is never shy of defending himself) stopped the music mid set in order to publicly deny recent sex allegations from long time ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, specifying that West may enjoy an explicit type of sex act in the bedroom. This new dispute is following the recent Twitter war between Kanye West and rapper Wiz Khalifa, who is the father of Rose’s child, which escalated when Wiz claimed that West had stolen Waves from fellow rapper Max B. For those who do not recall. West had been together with Rose for two years between 2008 and 2010, and since then there seems to have always been beef between the two, Kanye is not shy when he explains how he “had to take 30 showers” after seeing her.
The dust had just been settling when last night’s incident occurred, Rose tweeted allegations about West’s sexual preferences, writing: “Awww @kanyewest are u mad I’m not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch”. Kanye normally uses twitter to attempt to fire back, but this time he chose to deny it publicly on stage at the 1Oak club in LA. “That Bitch never stick no fingers in my ass. I don’t play like that, etc.” the rapper yelled into the mic on stage during his performance. However, Kanye was quick to apologize via social media, going to twitter to promote his usual ‘positive vibes’.
After a long night you would think Kanye would take it easy the following day, you would be mistaken. West began his Twitter rampage today with several tweets regarding the politics of the Grammy awards, starting off by saying he would like a sit-down with the president of the award ceremony, and continuing on for several tweets wanting to fix up the broken politics of the Grammy’s and eventually leading into the first amendment rights.
This all culminated into a tweet he sent out at 10:50AM stating that a new album will be released in the summer, which has inadvertently created a fiasco among fans and music writers who are chomping at the bits to get more fresh Kanye news. Needless to say, it seems that Kanye knows the media game better than anyone and seems to have big plans for the future.
