Kanye West expressed his pride in his G.O.O.D. Music Label artist Teyana Taylor at the listening session for her forthcoming VII album yesterday (October 20) at Siren Studios in Hollywood. He explained that he is sometimes hesitant to fully show his emotion because of media criticism, but was going to let himself free for the evening.
“Sometimes, I don’t talk the most politically correct whatever the type of shit,” the rapper-producer said in a video posted by MTV News, in which he also said, “muthafuckas wanna Michael Jackson me to death and shit and act like I don’t do nothing positive and attack me.”
“But I felt like I really express how proud I was of this person,” West added elsewhere, “of this human being that had to fight, of this artist that’s fighting to make something that she really feel, that really connects in this generation.”
Taylor’s debut album, VII, is slated to be released November 4. The Harlem singer signed to G.O.O.D. Music in 2012 after appearing on the intro track for West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. She then appeared on two songs on the label’s compilation album, Cruel Summer.
“I feel like Teyana provides something that is so R&B, so black, so hood so like missing, so necessary in the marketplace,” West said. “That was what was extremely interesting about what she did on Dark Fantasy, what she did every time she did vocals. A lot of people argue that she had the hottest joint on Cruel Summer.”
Kanye continues by expressing his support for other G.O.O.D. Music members Pusha T and Big Sean despite outside criticism.
“I’m just going ahead, be Ye, and put this shit on E! News and trying to say I’m a crazy motherfucker and shit,” he said, “but you know what? This is about artistry and fighting for artists to get they visions out. Like it says, the name of the label, Get Out Our Dreams and it’s a collective of motherfuckers who believe in real music. There’s never been someone on the label that has had to take something into their own hands quite as much as this girl had to do so I really want y’all to give her her credit for fighting against an entire system.”
West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, and Big Sean were also in attendance, as were as Chris Brown, Nelly and YG, according to MTV News.
Taylor has already dropped visuals for “Do Not Disturb” and “Business.”
She said in August that she had a tight grip on the album, not allowing West to get a copy until it was finished.
“All he could do is laugh, because he knows I get it from him,” she said at the time.

It’s taken her two years to drop a debut album? Damn. Kanye keeping another woman down.
Gunplay is 35 years old and been carrying Ricky Rozay’s weed for 15 damn years and he’s still waiting for a release date for his debut album.
He even took a legendary beating and got his MMG chain took and put in a music video for Ross and what thanks does he get?
Stalley, Wale and Meek all got pushed before him.
At least he aint Pill though…
@ANON-1
A singer/rapper should perfect their project before they release it, I would rather wait on a quality product than have a rushed product hurried to the fans just to sell at the optimal moment.
Stalley only got a date cos Meek was getting raped in jail
Michael Jackson you to Death? Like most rappers who careers are going down in the toilet, U put on a “S” on ur chest and married a Kardashian Hoe. Did you save her or did she save U? U got her locked down and handcuff, but that don’t stop a true hoe from creepin. How can u go to a VIP room known half the atheletes and entertainers stuck their d**** in her mouth???
When did “Michael Jackson” become a verb?
today
Yeezy really cares about the success of entertainers on his record label, most of these entertainers who own labels just want to rape their people. Thats why some of these morons dont have a single relevant entertainer on their label.
Kanye didn’t back Pusha enough
There are no relevant artists on GOOD Music
RIP Mike. Kanye is making people turn on him, his next joint will not sell as well as the last.
