Yesterday (September 11), Kanye West attended Pusha T’s My Name is My Name album listening session, which took place in Brooklyn, New York. As the listening session went on, West asked to speak. He would deliver a rant that lasted approximately 3 minutes.
During the speech, West provided background information regarding Pusha T’s career and aimed comments towards “culture vultures,” corporations and sellouts. West also commented on camouflage prints and t-shirts with numbers on the back. West also delivered words of support regarding DONDA, his creative company – named after his mother – which has been responsible for numerous album covers, including 2 Chainz’ recent B.O.A.T.S. 2: Me Time. West also shouted out Matt Williams, an art director and photographer affiliated with G.O.O.D. Music and Virgil Abloh, a creative director and the designer behind Pyrex Vision.
West’s full speech can be read below, as per Huffington Post & Miss Info.
Ayo this Yeezy right now speaking to y’all. This the heart of the mothafuckin’ city, act y’all ain’t have that mothafuckin’ Clipse album and shit. Act like y’all ain’t base y’all whole shit, whole lifestyle off this nigga Pusha T. Everything is Pusha T. Pyrex Vision. That’s Pusha T. Fear of God, That’s Pusha T. This nigga the heart of the mothafuckin’ culture for you culture vultures. This the only nigga spitting that wild mothafuckin’ Hip Hop shit right now. That’s why I stand next to this nigga. I don’t give a fuck about none of these corporations, none of these fucking sellouts. This mothafuckin’ Pusha T.
This is the fuck we make. We make good music. We make good music. We don’t give a fuck about how much god damn money you make. We make good music.
I’m off that [Grey] Goose right now. I might get loose right now. We don’t give a fuck…we don’t give a fuck. Nigga, this is that culture. This is that culture. For everybody stealing the culture, for all niggas trying to do their camo prints at Magic, this mothafucking Pusha T.
All these niggas trying to extend their mothafuckin’ t-shirts, trying to throw numbers on the back of their shit, this mothafuckin’ Pusha T. “I got a t-shirt line, cause I got numbers on the back of my shit.” Fuck you.
This DONDA. This Matt Williams. This Virgil Abloh. This Ferris Bueller. This is mothafuckin’ Pusha T. I’m done.
A video of the rant, shot by RealTalkNY, can be seen below.
Kanye West has had several reported rants in the last year. In December 2012, West ranted about the Grammys. In February, West ranted again, this time also confirming new material. In March, West ranted about his placement on MTV’s “Hottest MCs” list and about name brands. In July, West ranted about Taylor Swift and racism.

This guy has gotta be the biggest hypocrite in all of Hip-hop!
“I dont give a fuck about none of these corporations, none of these fucking sellouts.”
Nicca please your girlfriend is a fucking corporation and you’re a fucking sellout!
do you know what a corporation is? Idiot
hes signed to def jam, making nike, and LV sneakers. But fuck the corporations right?
he selling 150 dollar plain white t-shirts but fuck those sellouts!!!
RIAA just sent me an e-mail and dey said Lil Wayne is da best sellin rapper of 2013 and he outsould both Jay Z and Kangay West… 2x platium already. swag
that’s not funny anymore. try different jokes
you not funny cause it’s not a joke fool. swag
Obvious troll.
He was drunk as fuck, don’t get offended over shit no one understands.
yo dope rant, he killed that shit. i need to get a rant like this for my next event.
I Slob Cob for a living…
Ye Sucks
Shots fired at Drake and Weezy/Trukfit
You ARE the culture vulture (nowadays)
That was a great speech. He says real shit. But oh its a rant. Shut up.
stop it. this is a tantrum at worst and a pregame speech from your coach at best.
Kanye’s possibly the most passionate artist of our generation. Everything comes from the heart whether you agree with it or not. Oh, and if Pusha doesn’t use this as his album intro, then nothing in the world is right.
What an attention whore. Pusha’s party but he manages to take all the attention
no one ever seems to give a fuck.. boringg this fool is straight crazy, walking into that sign must of fucked a nigga up
homie is doing a remix with miley cyrus but its fuck corporations and sellouts LMAO
hey, he has to pay rent and bills too. would you turn down money to do a verse? that is what they do, they rap. and it is publicity for his album
So making money is worth your integrity? Another L
just cuz you may not like Cyrus doesnt mean that Push doesnt. to some rapping is a job though and Push obviously has no problem selling her a verse.
so far everyone at the listening party said it was unbelievable. I would only expect that from Pusha. Clipse gave us classic music for years. The only thing that probly wouldve made this better is if Kanye was still 05 Kanye in terms of production. Hes definitely slowed down in that area, but he did 6 on here(although co produced some).
so true, i miss the old kanye. i feel that he isnt hungry any more as far as production goes. i cant wait for the album
^^^ do you really think this 2013 Kanye is going to be as ‘hungry’/eager to make his mark on the boards as the 04,05 Kanye was? get real, man.
Big Sean aint get no rant at his listening party. Was kanye even there?
Kanye would have rant at Big Sean for putting out such a mediocre record
so why did ye release it
Is he really trying to take credit for numbers on the back of shirts? has he ever watched sports?
and people wore camo for a while too…doesnt mean the trend FOr RAPPERS wasnt started by a few guys including the clipse with BAPE
people were rocking camo long before clipse. cant speak on bape cause that shit was always wack to me
i wish a real nicca would put hands on this ass clown
thats the gayest comment i’ve read all week. a real dude to put his hands on another man. LOL! Wow…
you must have missed my comments requestin the uncensored version of dmx running naked
DOES PUSHA EVEN HAVE A RELEASE DATE YET
October 8th homie!
R.I.P. English.
LMAO
“This is the fuck we make.” I get it but damn.
Rap is for kids. It’s like WWF, but pussier.
?? This is a hip hop site. If you hold true on your argument, then that would apply to you. Go back to mtv.com asswipe
dgaf about none of these corporations or them sellouts,,,,,sounds like he speaking on something personal,,,about someone else,,,,hhmm?
sounds like he talking about kim
Someone needs to smack the shit up out this foolish nigga!
you aint gonna do it, so shut up.
Kayne stays taking L’s all year. Cudi, Big Sean, John Legend have all flopped, Kayne is going gold and that’s it, and Pusha T also looks like its going wood.
going gold with out any promotion is not an L
Kidd Cudi album was great…. not an L
spent all year banging kim kardashian…. not an L
going on a tour that will prolly sell out… not an L
you prolly one of those dudes that just looks at record sales instead of actually listening to an album.
wood like tyga, ace hood and rich gang!
spent all year banging kim kardashian…. not an L
sorry but that is an L, he could have a way badder bitch that wasnt a corporate sellout that got fucked by brandys brother on video
^^So you wouldnt bangout kim? and @ Forreal i agree with everything but the comment on cudi’s album, shit disappointed me greatly.
id bang her once i wouldnt wife her or have a child with that hoe
i would have like 15 babies wit her.
@anonymous she is fine, and it really isnt her fault that tweens are buying up every product with her name and watching her lame show. i agree she is famous for nothing but why not get that money. if someone offered you mills to be on TV and live your life you wouldnt do it?
sure whatever its just funny to hear kanye talking about fuck corporations and new slaves and all this when his girlfriend is the biggest fame whore of the last decade and is famous for nothing
My how the mighty has fallen. Damn Ye! This is embarrassing.
Entertainment! Yawl be serious on these boards LOL!
he gay

this guy dissin drake with the numbers and shit (his promo for his new album) lmfaooooo…jokes
pretty weak considering he was just out on stage with drake a ovo fest a few weeks ago why aint he say nothing there?
Honestly i was expecting so much from GOOD Music this year and so far i gotta say im let down as a fan. Yeezus, and Hall of Fame were both disappointing. they werent the worst rap albums to come out this year but just expected more from Sean, and especially kanye. i hope pusha comes through with a great album though
am i the only one who thought what Kanye did was really dickhead?
not really, all he did was talk at a GOOD music listening party. He was trying to hype people up. just kanye being kanye
I’m a better artist than Kanye West
A simple press op for an album, and just because it’s Kanye the nerds and weirdos wanna say rant, spread gossip on who they think he’s dissing, what Kanye did, said, or wore months ago, his girl, all types of ridiculous talk.
I don’t think y’all even realize how much of a media slave you really are.
as Jeremy implied I am stunned that a stay at home mom can get paid $6642 in one month on the internet. look at here now… http://www.Cafe44.com
This just in: Kendrick ate a burrito and had to shit. HHDX sources may believe this could be a “diss shit” at other rappers. We will keep you posted after he wipes since we have no other stories at this time.
saw this shit hours ago (rapradar.com) talk about Kanye embarrassing himself
major Fail….. Pusha can talk 4 himself
like it not, Kanye is Pusha T’s boss. it is a GOOD music release party event for pusha T. if the boss wants to make a 3 minute statement he is going to. go to your job and tell your boss to shut up and see what happens

YUEEZUS 2: REMEMBERED IN TIME will be out in the summer of 2014 according to hot 97 just 25 mins ago…..

call it having fun….. and showing love to his boi….which most of us/ya’ll can’t do no more when it’s they turn up for bat. I fucks with Kanye for all the music dude made for hip hop all the speaking up when the rest of these weak money buys everything mafuckas stayed sleep.
yeah…sorry
kanye is the biggest rapper/dramaqueen ever.
Ayo Yeezy said now for the ” milk is my mothafuckin City and the “milk does not have this album Clipse mothafuckin and crap law that” milk is not appointed moist the whole way of life is still far away. All of that nigga Pusha T. Pusha T. Pyrex vision , and it is this fear of God Pusha T. Pusha T. this nigga cultural Center mothafuckin ‘ you eagle culture I was spitting and wild mothafuckin’ love hip . for now. That’s why I ‘m standing by this I do not care about any of these companies who deliver these jokes . This mothafuckin ‘Pusha T.
This is the curse that we do. We are making great music . We are making great music . We do not care how much money you have created the curse of God . We are making great music .
I’m off to Grey Goose now. I can not get loose now. We do not give me … I will not give a damn . Negro and in culture . It is a culture . Theft of culture for all Negroes will attempt to camouflage their prints in the magic , and it mothafucking Pusha T.
All these niggas trying to expand their mothafuckin “T-shirt in an attempt to throw the numbers on the back of it is crap and mothafuckin ‘Pusha T. ” I have been a T-shirt , and why I have the numbers . on the back of my “you.
This is Matt Williams is Virgil Abloh Bueller Ferris this mothafuckin ‘Pusha T. I .
I find he weird that Kanye dissed Drake with the numbers on the back comment. The diss is that Drake and his crew have been wearing Sept 24 on the back of their shirts. Drake went to dinner with Kanye, Kim and their family and Kanye says that. Also, I think he did that to please Pusha because Push dissed Drake a couple times. Also, Kanye went to the OVO festival so him saying something to Drake is weird. I bet Kanye is going to blame it on the Hennessy again. LOL
IT’S FUCKING RAP NIGGA… IT’S ENTERTAINMENT… ALL THESE NIGGAZ JUST TRYNA MAKE GOOD MUSIC AND GOOD MONEY NIGGAAAAA

Dude is just a rambling ass drunk with a coke habit… who cares? why do you post this? are you a news outlet or a rumour a mill? Lights will be shut off on Hip Hop DX soon…. only website on the planet to still use their own outdated comment system.
follow at noles506
shut the fuck up noles. I may have agreed with you at one point but this may be the best of what we have left. Go check any other hip hop site and tell me where I can get on average better hip hop related content. sad fact is the commentary, editorials, and coverage in general is so desperately lacking of quality out there that hiphopdx is one of the best….
Damn I miss J-23
Why are white-skinned people so weird when it comes to HipHop? I blame Emenim.
These freakish loners/losers are always talking about “platinum” as of that matters in this era, people within the culture overstate that Vanilla Ice went 10X platinum as a solo artist and Rakim has never went platinum as a solo artist so what does Platinum really mean?
This is a genre where the Insane Clown Possee have platinum albums but The Roots don’t so why do whites obsess over platinum so much? Is it because sales and buying Emenim CDs is their only connection to the culture and the only thing they value in an artist?
I could care less if an artist goes platinum especially considering that whites are the majority buyers of HipHop and have more disposable income to spend on CDs.
Yeah because white hip hop fans are the only people on here who equate greatness with record sales
FYI The Roots have gone platinum haha.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
#YEEZUS
Fuckin’ girl!
HAhahahahahahhaha!LMAO!
He not dissing drake dumb niggas, he dissing all these clothing lines with numbers on the back like LES (ART)ISTS
I think he was dissing Drake. Drakes ppl have been wearing his release date on their shirts everywhere in hopes to get sales. Kanye’s whole rant is about how they dont sell out in order to get money.
People often warn me that the fame ain’t for the faint of heart
It’ll change those cuz if they had love for you into strangers
When the fame starts, A chain reaction
Locomotion like when a train departs
If there’s two things I know about Kanye it’s
1. Dont put a camera in his face
2. Dont give him a microphone after he’s been drinking.
I wish the old Kanye would come back and start making music with real hip hop cats and say fuck this era of hip hop…
