Kanye West Closes London Show By Screaming & Throwing Microphone

    This past weekend, Kanye West paused his performance at London, England’s Hammersmith Apollo to go on a rant about how he has love for Jay-Z but “ain’t fuckin’ with that ‘Suit & Tie’” – a shot at Hov’s collaboration with Justin Timberlake.

    Instead of going on another rant, Yeezy closed his second show at the venue with rage-filled screams, yelling into the microphone for more than a minute before spiking it across the stage and exiting.

    ‘Ye is known for making scenes during his shows. Late last year, he paused his performance to announce that he and Kim Kardashian are expecting their first child together. During that same run of shows, he went on a rant where he criticized the Grammy Awards for failing to honor his latest projects with Album of the Year nominations.

    West is currently in the studio in Paris, France, reportedly working on the follow up to his last solo album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

      1. Your kidding right? that shit sounded like trash and if he ever does sound decent its because he is lipsyncing like a little bitch. this fool is trash and all of his fans a homos!

      2. were u there? or did u watch videos online? yeh it was obvious he lip synced bits of it…i still thought it was a decent concert though

      3. Of course i do this shit is fuck funny as shit and you little cock boys love this flamer. Dont worry in a few years when your balls descend youll realize how much of a little bitch you were for jocking this MO

      4. Very clever. bravo! id expect that kind of genius and originality from a fucking kanye fan. enjoy wearing your skinny jeans you confussed little spunk swallowing chimpmunk loving Kan-tard

      5. Yeah while you fags enjoy wearing that, I’ll enjoy wearing arm bands, head bands, wrist bands, XXXL shirts/jerseys that look like skirts, because it’s not really a skirt, so it’s not gay.

    1. He sold his soul and now he wants it back from corporate America. Jay Z and beyonce don’t care and ain’t loyal to nothing but money. I think he’s starting to understand that now.

      1. are you high? He wants it back? He bitches and moans about awards even when they have nothing to do with him. He is a fucking primmadonna bitch. This guys the most arrogant prick on the face of the planet and the fact people try to justify his actions are pathetic. Asshole ushers in hipster culture to hip hop as well as abuses Auto Tune yet is pissed at Hov for his collabo with another respected artist… say what you will about JT the guy has earned his stripes and one thing he don’t do if cry like a fucking bitch a-la-Ye whenever he feels slighted.

    2. My boss, Birdman, has been waiting patiently for the simmering acrimony between Kanye West and Jay-Z to erupt.

    3. The real question is, how does Jay-Z’s boyfriend, former KC Chiefs running back Larry Johnson feel about Kanye’s comments?

    4. This article is incontrovertible proof that most Jay-Z fans like the intelligence to sustain themselves by any means other than welfare. Kanye is talking about artistic integrity. Kanye is passionate about his work and does what he wants to do, without regard for what the industry wants from him. Jay-Z and Beyonce, on the other hand, have sold out for a little extra money, which they don’t need. Meanwhile, you intellectual lightweights talk about Kanyes wardrobe, implying that him wearing a kilt should preclude him from criticizing Jay-Z. Guess what, Kanye wearing a kilt proves that he does whatever he wants, without regard for the critics. Jay-Z and Beyonce, well they are the critics lap dogs.

    5. Kanye west has defined Jay’s musical career. Prior to the release of Blueprint, no one took Jay-Z seriously. In 2001, Reasonable Doubt was not considered a classic. No one would be caught dead listening to Jay’s pre blueprint singles, even now. It was not until Blueprint came out that people began to consider Jay-Z as a legend. The single which gave the album so much attention, “H to the Izzo”, was produced by Kanye. Had it not been for the beat, Jay-Z would have been on the same level as Ludacris and Nelly. Jay-Z would be nothing without Kanye West. He needs to appologize to his friend and ask him for a hot beat.

      1. What the fuck are you smoking? ill admit blueprint did boost jays career but it was only five years since reasonalbe doubt came out so of course it wasnt a classic yet. stop ridding dick!

      2. First of all…..hard knock life vol. 2 took jay’s career to a whole other level….and that was 3 years before blueprint came out…your post is crazy talk fan

      3. Reasonable point. No one considered RD a classic until Jay dropped enough trash albums (Vols 1-3) to compare it to and a couple great albums (BP, Black Album) to categorize it with.

      4. Its always evident to me who is young as hell and/or just started following hip-hop in like 2006, lol. You DUMB FUCK, Jay-Z’s “Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life” is his highest selling album to date (sold over 5 million in the U.S. alone), which was BEFORE anybody knew who Kanye West was. So miss me with that “Jay ain’t shit without Kanye” shit. Nas’ “Illmatic” didn’t exactly blow people away initially, but that’s the thing with classic albums, sometimes it takes the people a while to get it. That’s what happened with Reasonable Doubt. You know nothing about hip-hop, you are an embarrassment to hip-hop heads everywhere

    6. i think that scream was good for him i bet he felt better after that….after performing his songs directly to his fans and putting his all in it…..
      better than them show’s with 100 people standing on stage..
      that scream was pure energy release,

      o and he’s clearly high on amphetamines too.

      1. You understand his plight as an arrogant rich bitch. i highly doubt it. if he ever met you in person he wouldnt give you the time of day. Not to mention that shit sounded way gay Stan

    7. This community is fucking garbage. Saying trash artists like DMX, Master P, etc. are legends (only because they dissed Drake or somebody they didn’t like) and actual good artists are trash. Wouldn’t be surprised if these faggots started sucking Lil Wayne’s dick soon.

      1. You mad?

        What community, rap, HHDX, what? X & P have etched their names in rap music history. Which good artists are considered trash? Why speak of men giving fellatio? But you took up for that incomplete comment, like it was you. Get your sh*t together before you speak in public little boy.

      2. once again, retards start speaking so highly of two garbage ass artists, but a few months from now, all they will doing is talking shit about them. The same faggots that were calling X a legend last year were talking shit about him 2 weeks ago when he got pulled over. Fuck out of here, if you guys were in charge of picking legends then rap would be fucked.

      3. I’m sorry is the term “dickrider” not tossed around freely here? So for the simple fact that you’re trying to act educated and look down at me by masking the words, “sucking dick” with “fellatio”, doesn’t hide the fact that you are a hypocrite. Either half of the comments on this article are from the same dude, or this dumbass community is now thinking Ye is trash. It’s funny when his only weak rap release was “Cruel Summer” and that was a compilation album, 808’s doesn’t count because that was R&B. The dudes on here talking shit are only talking shit because of what he’s been wearing, he’s been getting hate since the 12/12 concert. Talking shit because of fashion is fine, but the fact that people start turning that shit into saying his music sucks, is backwards as fuck. When Dark Twisted Fantasy came out, and a year after that, this place was all over him, it just shows how fucking stupid people are, when you’re considered trash for wearing stupid clothes.

    8. Why the fuck is this on a hip hop website. yes Kanye used to be a hip hop producer/shitty rapper but now he is like miley cyrus or any other pop singer. Or better yet hes the Sher of this generation

      1. …And the most IGNORANT comment of the day goes to (drumroll)… “NOTHIPHOP”! Homie, have you heard My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Watch the Throne?? Kanye’s not hip-hop? STFU with that bullshit, for real. Kanye is one of the few artists that respect the art form and the culture and has even pushed the limitations and boundaries of hip-hop. But ignorant people like you wanna say he ain’t hip-hop cuz he ain’t rocking 3X tees, fitted hats and baggy jeans and don’t got 30 incoherent niggas screaming on stage at his shows. Its clear that you don’t know hip-hop yourself bruh

      2. No im saying its not hip hop because this fag is singing with autotune. If you are singing by definition you are a singer. and he cant even hold a note so he is a shitty singer. and yeah i rather my “rappers” in mens clothing my bad.

      3. Rappers use to harmonize and sing through an echo chamber box. TJ Swan and Nate Dogg sang all through their HIP HOP careers. You’re talking that internet nerd gossip, you ain’t HIP HOP.

    9. I love how he doesn’t really address this shit either. Can’t wait til his next album to hear what he has to say. At the end of the day I like to think he’s doing alot of this for us cuz who really wants to hear the same shit? He’s doin some different shit that only Kanye can really experience, then he’s gonna share that with us through his music. Listen to all the dudes albums. This is the life that was chosen. Kanye is an artist man, you know how many personal apocalypses artists go through? Jus because there in the public eye you don’t think shit breaks down? Kanye is the man, and he’s handling shit pretty well if you ask me.

      It’s a gemini thing though, most of you guys probably won’t understand.

      Kanye is the most authentic individual around. Im a fan.

      1. big fan… but cmon son.

        there’s a difference between being yourself and being a huge asshole sometimes. just sayin

    10. Hov is gonna set him down. You all see how Kanye acts all scared around real niggas. Even in the making of Watch The Throne and the episode of 106& park when he was there with 50 cent, he acts all timid and shit. Cut it out ye, You ain’t about that life.

    11. well he has the respect, made a shit load of money, ran thru countless women and made a baby. this is what he signed up for, this is what he worked for. it looks to me that its true when they say “its lonely at the top”.

    12. Ye acts like a bitch more than Weezy does and yall dont hate on this skirt wearing nigga as much as you do Wayne. Niggas just hate cuz Wayne on top of his game and makin that money.

      1. no signed all of america.. but i guess some black ppl like having these coons running around doing and saying dumb shit and in the process make themselves look stupid right?.. id be embarrassed if that was a white guy acting like that for my race u serious

    13. This “he went on a rant where he criticized the Grammy Awards for failing to honor his latest projects with Album of the Year nominations.” You people claiming that Kanye is fighting for something bigger than simply his own legacy are delusional. I mean it’s in black and white and referring to his own BS. Can you really be such a Stan for this clown that you cannot see this? Kanye is an A**hole period and to see anything otherwise is straight dick riding!

      1. Not in the slightest… Watch the throne was much better as I have no love for Two Chains at all.. Good Kid Maad City would have got my vote but people claiming he is speaking out against the industry when all he is doing is trying to create a larger “legend” in his own mind. It’s all about him not what is best. K-Dot ruled this year IMO… why is he not speaking up for that?

    14. That skirt shit over the trousers doesn’t look cool at all!

      people letting him slide on that too much!

      and no one at that show wants to hear you scream like a 5 year old who was told he not getting anymore sweets today.

      I like some of his songs…..but hate everything he calls a principle.

    15. yo.. homey was doing the show in a straight-jacket.. the screaming and the mic-spike adds to the effect… Artistically, I fux with it…

    16. The thing is Jay Z career didnt blow up till Kanye started producing for him. Before Kanye Jay had 2 hits and an album that no one really knew about. Once Ye came on the scene suddenly Jay went from making a few milli to on his way to a billi. Thats a fact.

      1. Not true, Hard Knock Life album sold 5 million.
        With No Kanye. That’s his biggest selling album still to this day…

      2. okay HHDX really needs to get 12 year olds the fuck outta here. Jay was a superstar by 1998, and legend by 2000, thanks to a lot of battling and a lot of support from other artists.

    17. Kanye’s passion can’t be matched! Yeah, sure, there are better rappers, technically, but not musically. Just because you’re a good rapper doesn’t mean you make good songs. I dare you to name a rapper who makes better music than Kanye…

      1. Kanye is one the greats for sure. But he’s not the Michael Jordan of hip hop.

        As far as rappers/producers go…J. Cole has progressed quite a bit with “Power Trip.” He’s a better rapper than Kanye. He’s not quite the producer Kanye is yet. “Power Trip” is a good indication that Cole has found his sound. His album “Born Sinner” may be a classic. We’ll see. He’ll eventually be on Kanye’s level musically.

      2. hip hop is more different than other genres, it needs lyrics + beats, its like ying and yang, equally important, who would listen to dope lyrics with a wack beat and vice verse, the right combo is both and is instant classic

      3. While I really disapprove of Kanyes tantrums and think he is one of the most overrated artists in history I squirm whenever I see “Hip hop isn’t about beats its about Lyrics”.. I am sure Herc shutters too at that comment. Remember man… the roots may go deeper than Herc but when we are talking about how it started… two turntables for music at a party while toasting was an after thought. Lyrics eventually became the primary focus but to shut out the beats, IMO, means we forget where it came from!

      4. @GODBODY – You seem to be the confused one! Kanye’s lyrics are dope. I was saying there are others with better rap skills but not better songwriting and produtcion than Kanye. @B1g Mello – I’ll give you Outkast.

    18. …this is art?

      Seriously, what’s so artistic about this? He’s shouting. Where’s the passion? Shouting and throwing things doesn’t make you passionate, it makes you a fucking 3 year old. He needs a fucking helmet and leash.

    19. all u haters lol.. Listening to the whole MBDTF i realized its pure art and so is this show. U might wanna watch the whole show before writing something.

    20. KANYE IS A GOAT!! NAME A ANOTHER NIGGA WITH AS HALF AS MANY GRAMMYS AS THIS NIGGA?!?! HE FUCKING BASCIALLY CREATED A LANE FOR KID CUDI AND DRAKE TO MAKE DEEP EMO RAP SONGS THX TO 808S AND DRAKE SAID IT HUNDREDS OF TIMES KANYE FORMED HIS CAREER AND GAVE RAP A REASON TO BE EMOTIONAL. KANYE IS MOST TALENTED AN INNOVATIVE MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME. FUCK YOUR OPINION WHEN NUMBERS SHOW HES THE FUCKING GOAT!!

    21. Jay aint shit without Kanye. Kayne ate this niggas lunch on WTT now Jay doin some corny ass shit with Justin timberlake. Jay needs to remember what got him to the show and it wasn’t JT it was Kanye.

      1. Jay was one of the illest rappers back in the 90’s, in all reality, WTT(which I personally think sucks, and shows how much Jay-Z has declined as an MC) wouldn’t of been anything as special as it was without Jay-Z still. I think you forgot about 99 Problems didn’t yea? Ignorant kanye groupies forgetting Jay-Z was a problem in Hip-Hop before Kanye was even a thought.

    22. Dear Btothas, this is a prime example why to stay loyal and faithful to sweet Black pussy. White pussy makes you act ill and insane. You can’t handle it!!!

    23. i would rather listen to him screaming than to all of this garbage ass “i cant actually rap” rappers that have come out of nowhere

    24. umm yeah… someone tell Kanye Fishsticks that we already know he doesn’t F’wit suit & tie… he’s F’wit leather skirts and shiet

    25. Something is really wrong with Kanye, he keeps ranting and acting crazy the last couple weeks and its only February. He needs to chill before he does something really crazy. This is actually sad to see because it seems like something is eating at him. Either that, or hes doing all this stuff for publicity.

      Or, hes on drugs.

      Personally, I think the old Kanye was better because at least his songs had some meaning, now hes too rich and takes about the same crap all the time.

    26. Lamest dude in Hip Hop.

      Kanye West has been detrimental to Hip Hop for a long time now.
      Should have stuck to making beats and never touched a mic.

      1. What? Man, if you think he’s the lamest dude in hiphop and so detrimental to it, then you should probably stop listening to it now. It’s not like Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Riff Raff, Gucci Mane, Kreayshawn, Roscoe Dash, French Montana, and Wiz Khalifa exist or anything. Dumbass.

      2. Everything since 808s his music hasnt been far off from any of the people that youve listened to..i got love for kanye but i aint fuck with his clique clique clique.

      3. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy came out after 808’s, you’re statement is extremely fucking stupid. The dipshits that were listed make an album like that could only dream about making an album like that..

    27. lmaooo at all u fucks (small amount) in the comment section who says kayne made jayz .. are u serious?!? u know nothing about rap if u think thats the case and in turn need 2 go back to pop or r@b or w.e u fags came from

    28. Justin Timberlake is a faget. Lil Wayne is a faget. Kendrick Lamar is a faget. Jay-Z is a faget. Kanye West just married or fucked or did something crazy with some plastic hoe. The whole world is fucked. Music in general is fucked. Niggas all fucked up wearing jewelry like fucking women. Cunts need to be robbed. The streets need to take they music back. BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN!

    29. He’s not “fxckin with that ‘Suit & Tie’…” but he’ll wear blouses & skirts though right?
      This MORON is one tantrum away from becoming The Black Elton John.
      He’s got too much rage in him. Maybe because he’s internally conflicted & scared to come out of the closet.
      After-all… why else would he pay Amber Rose $MILLIONS$ to keep quiet about their relationship after there break-up?
      Just a thought…
