Kanye West‘s recent series of leaks have turned explosive as an unreleased documentary has surfaced containing shots at Nas, Pusha T and Cardi B, among others.
The documentary was reportedly filmed in 2018 following the release of ye, as well as the albums he produced for Nas (Nasir), Pusha (Daytona) and Teyana Taylor (K.T.S.E.).
In one scene, the Chicago rap mogul is seen taking part in a photoshoot while on a phone call with his former manager, Scooter Braun. During their conversation, Ye became heated as he demanded to be taken off G.O.O.D. Music — the label he founded in 2004 — before saying he regretted giving what he felt were some of his best beats to the aforementioned names.
He was especially upset at Nas, who he complained had rapped “off beat” on “Cops Shot the Kid” and filmed a music video for the song without his knowledge.
“It’s gon’ be a get me out this muthafuckin’ G.O.O.D. Music shit now,” Ye barked down the phone. “And Scooter, ain’t gonna be no, ‘Oh, I’m still putting my name on this shit.’ I need to get rid of G.O.O.D. Music ’cause I’m great. And guess what? Good is the enemy of great.
“The fuck I’m doing giving [‘Gonna Love Me’] to fucking Teyana? What the fuck I’m doing giving that Daytona album to Pusha? What the fuck I’m doing, bro? That shit was three Dark Fantasys that I gave away.
“‘Cops Shot the Kid,’ Nas rapping all goddamn off beat on it, don’t even wanna shoot a video. Then shoot a video, don’t even tell me. These muthafuckas don’t appreciate me. All these muthafuckas is tryna use me.”
He added: “I’m the greatest muthafuckin’ artist living and I could do everything! And I’m not being expanded and my vision is not being expanded to what it is. I’m performing at other people’s festivals and shit. I’ve been wanting a fucking festival.”
In another clip from the leaked documentary, Kanye West claims that Cardi B doesn’t write her own lyrics and that she was planted in the music industry by the Illuminati to “replace” Nicki Minaj.
“These Illuminati,” he says while on a separate phone call. “That’s why fucking Cardi B was over there. Cardi B is a plant by the Illuminati. She don’t write her raps. She’s just there to sound as ignorant as possible, and then make songs like fuck ’em and then get some money.
“She has literally replaced Nicki Minaj purposely, that they put her there. And now she doesn’t know what to do and she’s just a fucking — she has no idea what the fuck is going on. She thinks it’s just a blessing from the universe. Ain’t no blessing from the fucking universe.”
Watch below:
Cardi seemingly responded to Kanye’s comments on Sunday (October 1) by tweeting out a clip from his 2022 interview with Hollywood Unlocked‘s Jason Lee, in which he spoke highly of her.
“My cousins was saying come by here yesterday but I was finishing that verse for your girl,” he said, referring to Cardi. “I always believed in her since she was on the show, period.”
The Bronx native captioned the video with a simple love heart emoji.
Kanye West collaborated with Cardi B last year on “Hot Shit,” which also featured Lil Durk. The track peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has racked up over 89 million streams on Spotify alone.
The documentary is just the latest unreleased project from Kanye West’s vaults to leak. Last month, an early version of his 2021 album Donda called Donda: With Child surfaced online, accompanied by a 35-minute video directed by Vanessa Beecroft.
Shortly after, Kanye and Dr. Dre‘s Jesus Is King 2 — the planned sequel to the former’s 2019 gospel album — also leaked, complete with appearances from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Pusha T, Travis Scott, Anderson .Paak and more.
That Nasir album was terrible and uninspired. Makes Nastradamus seem like an A1 performance.
Yeah cause Kanye gave him beats last minute and Nas had to freestyle. Is al Kanye’s fault
People can make trash music, you do know that right?
@Shenanigans. So what are we supposed to do? Not be critical?? Accept wack music??? I never understood these lame participation trophy like comments.
All of Kanye’s shit has been wack and uninspired since he ran out of soul samples. It’s like Quincy Jones laughed when people were comparing this dumdum to him, a real composer who produced shit for Michael Jackson and shit. This fool just got old soul songs and slapped some beats on them, and that’s questionable if he even did it now that we know about all of the ghosts in his closet.
Nas said he had 2 weeks to complete the Nasir project. What is he mad about?
Well I’m wonderful & that’s better then great or G.O.O.D…….actually i’m exqusite
Exquisite is the enemy of incredible
That Cops Shot The Kid beat was terrible. I was mad that Nas was even rapping on it. Off beat? What beat? That shit was a jumbled mess off drums and a goofy way to use a sample.
Yeah, It was Kanye doing his best Swizz Beatz impersonation.
That beat was terrible. Be grateful Nas was even willing to spit on it.
This generation’s contribution to hip hop. Someone like this could be in a position to “go off” on a real legend like Nas. Imagine a producer, a mediocre one at that, going off on Pac.
You make a really good point.
Pac was not that special hommie
. Stop beating the dead horse.
Yeah, not that special but still talked about like he’s here 27 years later. Give it up bro, he’s the GOAT of this rap shit. Just because you didn’t like him doesn’t mean millions of people around the world don’t disagree. The fact that you took that out of my comment though is proof positive because it bothers you so much that he’s revered as much as he is.
2Pac can’t be the greatest rapper when he was never the best rapper knock it off he doesn’t have an argument against Nas being the goat. You think Tupac can outwrap Nas ball for bar? Of course not.
It doesn’t matter how much fans love you. You’re only the goat if you’re the best rapper 2Pac was never that.
Nas wasnt happy with Nasir. He said it himself he wished they recorded more because everything was rushed. Ye blaming everybody but himself. Gtfo.
Kanye fans are like the Beyonce bee hive… I know they exist, I’ve never met them.
Dude spoke that shit into existence. I guess that has to count for something outside of his actual mediocre career.
@hmmm right, I never met a fan of Biden either, but look where we are…
Come on MAGAbro, no one is talking politics on here
Imagine trying to get political on a hip-hop gossip blog 😂
