Not many people could take Pusha T under their wing one year, and Justin Bieber the next. But it appears as though Kanye West is doing just that.
The Chi-Town producer/emcee hit Twitter late Tuesday night to show his 2.5 million followers his latest “beat protege” with a picture of them in the studio together.
My new beat protege http://twitpic.com/42rob8
This is not the first time Ye has extended his support to the young Canadian pop star. After failing to win Best New Artist at the Grammys, West made a couple Tweets hinting at his feelings on the matter.
Damn… I can’t find the words to explain how I feel about the best new artist award… Don’t wanna say the wrong thing
why? so many young hungry producers and Ye decides on Bieber. butt buddies
I feel you on that one…i really was starting to not like knaye, but now i think im done with him until he can go back to making the music he use to
Nice to see Kanye throwing more dirt over the genre of hip hop.
Kanye been a clown, I dont know why people are surprised, he defended Soulja Boy against Ice T back when that shit went down, now he’s working with Justin Beiber, dude has horrible taste in music if he really believes these “Artists” have any talent whatsoever
you guys seriously hate too much. think about it from a music, business, musicians point of view. kanye sees that the kid has the drive, the initiative, and the yearning for music. he may not make music that we enjoy, personally i havent listened to one full bieber song..ever. but regardless like it or not the kid is huge right now and hes obviously got a good spirit. you guys know for a fact that kanye is legit a genius so hes obviously got soemthing up his sleeve. haters are gonna hate, let the guys make music.
lemme know when yall get worldwide and start working with kanye.
Hey dumbass, what good is raising a protege when you KNOW that he’s always always ALWAYS going to be a mainstream pop artist? Is that the legacy Kanye wants to leave behind?
There’s a good reason for Beiber or Drake not winning best new artist at the grammys, the girl who won is a better MUSICIAN (these are MUSIC awards) and a much more creative one than either of them.
Its fine that Kanye’s doing music with this kid, but don’t act like Beiber has some kind of special or unique talent, at best his career could be like a glorified Justin Timberlake’s.
Lol at anybody calling Kanye West a genius. When Kanye discovers how to correctly create nuclear fission I will be impressed. A man being able to make a beat on an mpc does not certify him as a genius. Todays generation is real quick to give people too much credit.
@Anonymous- totally agree. If you think Kayne is a “genius” than that solidifies you as a “retard.” There are definitely musical geniuses out there, even in hip-hop. This ass-clown, however, is not one of them.
Oh, and @Keiran; you’re a bigtime douchebag.
Unlike you americans , we Canadians are proud of our people, ie. we support Justin in his voyage to be the best ,. and another note , just for the record we dont care what you americans think , never have and never will.
Justin Beiber is gay as fuck.
we also like it in the butt
If yall are so proud of your country and shit then why is does your boy Justin Beiber act like hes from Atlanta these days?
Im Canadian, and we think that Bieber clown is straight asscheeks. And so is Kanye for supporting bullshit, manufactured pop tarts.
HAHA what a buncha idiot asses,. go canada,. plus nobody pretending to be american, thats just straight suicide ,. i seen some americans pretending they were canadian when i was back packing ahaha , foolish evrybody hates you, dummies
why would anybody pretend to be a fag?
plz dont speak for all canadians, everyone i know thinks this kid is wack and we are tired of hearing about him in the news everytime he farts
Why would they pretend to be fags? headscratcher.
Damn Kanye, why you mentoring Justin Bieber poptart ass. Niggas always wanna give away our talent to these crackers. But these crackers never mentor or show us shit. Kanye need to mentor a young Black producer and keep the talent going.
hahahahaah, i’m white and i agree 100% about givin black peoples talent away lol
“give our talent away to these crackers”? talents such as petty theft, selling drugs, and household violence?
keep telling yourself that buddy, you guys are good at 2 things. running with a ball and making music
Obvious answers from americans. Stupid and hella ignorant. kanye is universal,.Dude aint worried about you downloading dummies.. i bout MBDTF.. did you.
lol, this is so stupid…and not news
Justin Beiber is not Kanye’s new “protege”. Kanye’s not taking Justin Beiber under his wing and teaching him everything he knows about production. He’s not passing the torch to Justin Beiber to continue his legacy.
He posted a fucking tweet/picture of Justin Beiber messing around with Kanye’s production equipment in the studio because they were probably working on a song or 2 and Beiber had a couple ideas for the beat.
Maybe Kanye was impressed with the ideas, so he posted the picture on TWITTER with a funny comment that he knew would get people all excited and riled up.
DX needs to stop making news stories out of rappers TWEETS. Everybody that cares already follows these guys on Twitter already..they don’t need to see it again in an article like everything that a rapper tweets is true
And you wrote an essay on this why?
Who cares who Kanye works with? He has not made a good album since his second one and he acts like a spoiled girl always complaining about everything. That last album was straight hemorrhoid music.
Beiber, is kiddie pop. Let the boy do his thing. You know all of these artists are trying to expand their fan bases by working and being seen with him. Come on Son; Reakwon and Beiber on a record.
too all you haters, if you aint making the kinda money justin bieber is making, i suggest you stfu because as far as im concerned, hes making more money then all ya’ll broke asses COMBINED! ALL THIS coming from someone who hates the kid, but RESPECTS that hes making money. Soo unless you making the figures hes making, STFU
Its about time people stfu with the “he making money though” argument. Nobody gives a fuck about his or Kanye Wests money.
I listen to artists that are much more monetarily successful that J.B. I don’t hate on them, because they make good music and they don’t take advantage of young girls sexuality, like the RIAA does with J.B., their product.
lol at the dude below me , at the end of the day money doesn’t buy talent , fuck the whole industry dick riding this dude , just say we want to make money together , don’t sugar coat this faggot
whether he does or doesnt have talent, the fact of the matter is hes making more money then me, you and everyone else. and at the age of 16 had more bitches on him then anyone on this site will ever have. You cant deny that at 16, dude got it made (forget about the talent or any of that shit) look at the outside. How much money did you make at 16? how many bitches did you have on your dick at 16?
ok he has it made underservingly, with talent of a pop star, look ok voice, and dumbed down pop lyrics. This justifies every reason to hate him more, fuck kanye like there are so many more talent unheard of producers worthy of a chance for work, so they can put food on the table.
dont get me wrong, i do agree with you on most of the points, my argument here is everyone is hating on jb when he has more money then anyone. the kanye/production aside, the amount of hate this kid recieves is funny. I dont like him, he has maybe 2-3 alright songs, but i respect him for doing what he does (no matter how stupid it is) and making money.. to further that argument, look at soulja boy, everyone shitted on him cuz of crank dat, but at the end of the day, hes stacking paper, while others below stick to being internet gangsters and say this dude sucks, this dude is gay so on and so forth.
On the kanye note, whatever was the motive for this is what it is, but he aint the 1st rapper to lend a hand to jb, luda did, drake supports him, usher, chris brown gots him on his new album.. hes venturing into different waters, and i respect that. Look at the hiphop-rap/rock n roll crossovers that have been done, hell lets bring the Eminem and Elton John duo of Stan at the grammys..
ok he doesnt have any alright songs, thats you opinion but this is a hip hop site so when you say he has an alright song it aint gonna fly, and saying you resepct him cause he makes money, shit man if I respect everyone that makes money i would be one dumb mother person. J.P. morgan one of the most evil persons in world history, created enormous wealth on the expense of soldiers dying, globaly poverty, corruption, fraud, bribary to politicians. Now should I respect this man who controls the world with all that money. No.
@ Anonymous 1ne:
WOW! So money and chicks is the only thing u think counts? YOU’RE LOST!!!
boo… put some niggas on
LOL
When I read the subtitle to this article I kept thinking of the first verse of Runaway… and then the news of naked photos of West popping up on tabloid sites… Think about it
Yall are looking into this too hardly, it was probably more of a joke or something. Kanye is most likely not literally taking up the task of becoming Justin’s official mentor for producing beats. He’s prolly just giving him some tips showing him a thing or 2, yall get riled up over the stupidest sh(t
True Dat, People love to hate on Ye. Haters.
kanye didn’t take pusha under his wing. pusha was a droppin dope lines all the way back in 96 on exclusive audio footage before ye’s dumb ass was even rapping

what about the nigga in the hood with fl studio & reason trying to get on in the game instead he gave bieber a shot someone who really isn’t all the way into it as someone more hungry thats trying to make it
i know right it takes great pain to make great art, its why we havent seen real shit in a while
if kanye wouldve gave an unknown producer a shot he prolly wouldve stole credit or be getting co producer credit heard stories from this producer cat named icedrake he did ice dirty
XXL:”You and Kanye West used to be partners right?”
Icedrake-“I knew Kanye before all this, when he was dead broke and used to wear pink sweaters with snowflakes on them. He lived like 11 houses down from me. Every night, niggas would get up and either be at Kanye’s crib or our crib, just working on ****”.
XXL:”Why aren’t you two cool anymore”?
Icedrake:I try to keep it like B.I.G. and just excel off my music, not controversy. At the same time, every time I speak on a situation, I’ma be real. We went to New York to try and get something poppin”. We came back with some numbers from niggas. Kanye went behind my back and started creating relationships. This nigga bumped into Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie in New York and [sent] 49 beats to get signed-and he was sending our CDs. Kanye was signed with[Crazy Cat Catalog] for about four years, and about that time I got kicked out the crib, when I was like 15 years old. I had to hit the block to get my money, and Kanye was selling tracks. I was asking this nigga, “Why these niggas ain’t checking me out?” Kanye’s excat words to me:”Deric Angelettie said to turn your high-hats down and stop putting voices in the beat.” That’s the whole sound he gives Roc-A-Fella now. And the crazy **** is, when I met D-Dot, this nigga said, “I’ve never heard of your name in my life.” Kanye’s a dirty dude.
They funny thing is that Kanye tries to hip and cool by being friends with Soulja Boy and Justin Bieber because he knows he sucks and Soulja Boy and Justin Bieber are better rappers/producers than that gay fish. Vinnie Paz already said that Kanye was gay along with Lupe Fiasco, Common, Talib Kweli and Atmosphere. But Justin Bieber and Soulja Boy are the most talented musicians today. Even Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart appreciated music from Justin Bieber, Soulja Boy and Gucci Christ.
It’s Gucci Time!
