Kanye West has just previewed one pair of loafer/sneaker designs that he did for his shoe line under Louis Vuitton. The musician wrote on his blog saying “Time to crash your Internet server. Here’s 1 one of the design’s [sic] I did for Louie [sic]… Sampled in white. Can’t say too much of that though. These [aren’t] coming out until June.” It looks pretty plain and boring to me. If you cared to know about it though, his shoe line is called ‘Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Shoes’. How completely uncreative for the usually very so-called artsy guy. I wouldn’t waste money on that.

It looks like Kanye West wants to be the president of Beyonce’s fan club. In fact, he’s such a big fan that the rapper actually thinks that Beyonce is better than Tina Turner! No one is better than Tina! During a recent interview, Kanye said that Beyonce “is just as great, if not greater, than artists we had in the past. She’s probably greater than Tina Turner.” For a guy who speaks of great art, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to Beyonce and Tina. Kanye also adds that “Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyonce is a fucking living legend.”

I guess the second coming of the rap show down between 50 Cent and Kanye West won’t be going down after all. Kanye is pushing up the release of his new album from December to November. The rapper recently released a statement on his blog saying “I CHANGED MY ALBUM (release) TO NOVEMBER SOMETHING CAUSE I FINISHED THE ALBUM AND I FELT LIKE IT.. I WANT YALL TO HEAR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.” No one stands in Kanye’s way, unless of course he was scared that 50 was going to win this time around. I wonder if 50 is going to change his release date too.
