G.O.O.D. Music Covers Complex Magazine, 2 Chainz Clarifies Standing With Label

    G.O.O.D. Music is the latest to cover Complex magazine, which features a cover image sporting the crew’s faces arranged in the shape of a cross.

    During the group interview, Common, Pusha T, Kid CuDi, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, John Legend and Q-Tip discuss how Kanye West influences their recording and writing processes, as well as what’s changed for the imprint over the years.

    2 Chainz, who has collaborated with West ast of late and appeared with the crew during live performances, clarified his standing with the label.

    “I’m not officially signed, paperwork-wise, to G.O.O.D. Music. But I have a great rapport with ’Ye. He called me before Watch the Throne came out. I’m an only child. I’ve got trust issues. So I don’t have a best friend, a brother, sister—nothing. Stuff was happening in my life that I couldn’t tell nobody. I didn’t have anybody in my life that I could tell, like, ‘’Ye just called me,'” he said. “I’ve talked to ’Ye 1,000 times about trying to make this situation work for the both of us, so it won’t feel like anyone is getting used or anything. I’m in a position in life where I like talking about things like that. I came from a situation with DTP, being under Luda, where I got a phobia. Sometimes when an artist signs another artist, they’re so worried about themselves. And with ’Ye, he helps everybody.

    1. ok then fuck 2 chainz.
      dude doesnt fit in anyway.
      this nigga Kanye brought 2 chainz but not Talib Kweli or Yasin Bey(Mos Def) or Cy-Hi Da Prynce or Malik Yusef or Fonzworth Bentley.makes no sense.

      does LOYALTY exist in G.O.O.D. Music??

    2. Here we gooooo again!! Another christian symbol used by SATANIC KANYE WEST!!! Ya’ll niggas who support these bitches need to look in the mirror… HTF you gonna support these demonic puppets!!

      KANYE=DEVIL WORSHIPPER!!

      1. This is the same dude that made, “Jesus Walks”, you jack ass. How you figure he worships the devil?

      2. shut up dude i think it’s dope instead of having them pose with all the flashy jewelry and shit like they usually do on covers

      3. How is he trollin. The nigga tlks about the devil on mbstf. His videos r full of symbolism. Hes changed alot since jesus walks. But god said the blind will lead the blind.

      4. kanye west always mimicing religion and when he made jesus walks that was way before he became a weirdo and sell out, and now he be telling all the artist under his label what to wear, say, and do..pusha t even said in an interview

      5. tired of you sunday christians always trying to act like youre holy. you come here preaching about what god says and bashing kanye based on your own interpretations of his art, yet you probably dont even lead righteous lives your damn selves. a nigga act a fool monday through sunday and then go to church on sunday morning and think he can preach to somebody. gtfoh

      6. *monday through saturday.

        who gives a fuck who kanye worships. niggas acting like their exposing shit. gtfoh nigga. you aint gonna do shit but beat your dick. nobody cares nigga.

      7. Wat is he accomplishing by doing thys? He need to leave tue religious stuff alone and just do music. Thys nygga crazy yall nyggas is crazy to

    3. dont yall see at the bottom where it says “and more” yall silly as kids cant read or something. this just who they interviewed got damn.

    4. G.O.O.D. Music got some Hip-Hop Legends!
      Common,Q-Tip,Mos Def,Talib Kweli.Kanye is like 1 project and a collab away to legendary damn near.

      1. If Kanye is gonna do like he did on his first 2 or 3 albums, then he fits with Com, Kamaal, Talib, and Mos. His new stuff just isn’t in that same neighborhood. It’s too polished, produced, etc. If he goes back to his old style that’d be a hell of a collabo. You can’t find 5 better MCs on one label.

    5. lol
      “Kanye West, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Common, John Legend, 2 Chainz, Q-Tip AND MORE”-> everybode not named should better find a new job.

      1. so icy boi, you changed up your tracklist from last time. but i still fucks with it. infinite swag universe. aaah! swag me out.

    10. too many old niggas on this label. i only fucks with big sean, cyhi, kid cudi and hit-boy on good. ymcmb is better though.

      1. so, how are the careers of:

        lil chuckee
        lil twist
        snl
        corey gunz
        mack maine
        gudda gudda
        jae millz

        ?????

        oh, wait, NEVERMIND

      2. Common has more talent than any artist on young money. They dont compare talent wise to G.O.O.D music. This youngsta these days!

      3. You must think Lil Wayne is in his 20’s?lol That boy been in the game over 15 years. He’s in his 30’s. Rap has no age limit. It’s either you making hot shit or your not.

    11. i’m highly anticipating my boy q-tip. he will outshine anybody on this label. hopefully he makes kanye and common step their game up. as well as pusha. 2 chainz is in another category.

    12. Kanye doesn’t know how to build labels correctly. He signed a whole bunch of veterans who been in the game 15+ years smh.

    13. I didn’t know common was official.. I came across this cat Rick fouche who reminds me of Ye and Andre 3 he got this song Heath ledger and 1 called A million months that I was impressed enough to talk about.. niggas completely off the radar tho he needs to step his promo up

    14. FUUQQ YEEZ MY NIKKAS

      FINALLY IT HAPPENED – JUST GOT A NEW RIDE – A CAM A RO CONVERTIBLE.GOT APPROVED FOR 26 LARGE. BEEN 5 YRS SINCE IVE GOTTEN SHYT APPROVED, BUT NOW ALL MY CRE-DIT SHEET GONE. ALL OF IT.

      Hit em up – THEY WILL HELP U!!mm

    15. YMCMB is a gay but sucessful label who is really only still alive because of 3 people..only sucessful people on the whole label is nikki,drake,and wayne..old or not good music has people that has been in the game if not the same or longer then wayne and ymcmb dont even wanna respond to good music disses cuz they faggots

    16. I hate how Complex stays on Kanye’s dick, and it also seems like he’s been on Bone Thugs’s dicks too, cause that shit looks just like “Tha Crossroads”

    17. But if I talk about God my record won’t get played Huh?
      Well let this take away from my spins
      Which will probably take away from my ends
      Then I hope this take away from my sins
      And bring the day that I’m dreaming about
      Next time I’m in the club everybody screaming out

      Jesus Walks!!!!

      Christ is returning QUICKLY PREPARE YOUR SOULS

    18. 2 chainz does not belong in Good Music. Yea it makes them more diverse but he does not belong. Ye better sign Nas, since he just relaease his last Def Jam album and is on fire again. Next album could be another classic with Ye, No ID, and Salaam producing it
