Kanye West’s humble beginnings detailed in “Kanye West Owes Me $300″ memoir.
Former battle rapper Hot Karl, known for creating songs like “The Burbs” and “Sump’n Changes,” has released a new memoir titled “Kanye West Owes Me $300 & Other True Stories From A White Rapper Who Almost Made It Big.”
As expected, the memoir features stories on Kanye West, and during a newly-released interview with LA Weekly, Hot Karl (real name Jensen Karp) discussed his time spent with the Chicago rapper.
The Los Angeles lyricist went on to compare Kanye to the movie character Bowfinger, and questioned why anyone would think ‘Ye would be offended by the book’s title.
“He was basically Bowfinger,” Hot Karl said. “I obviously didn’t know he’d become what he became, otherwise I would’ve let him rap on my album like he wanted to…People are always like, ‘Is he going to be mad?’ And I don’t know why he would. The book is nice to him; Kanye knows people laughed when he left the room.”
Other rappers featured in Hot Karl’s memoir include Redman and Fabolous.
“Kanye West Owes Me $300” is currently available for purchase on Amazon.

Just using kanyes name in BIG LETTERS on the book cover so it sells immensley well its first month which will probably account for 98% of the books sales lol pathetic just like rick ross using freeways name and MAYBACH MUSIC GROUP or gucci mane using gucci as a selling point words trend and when you trend you make money its simple economics but its just selloutish and shows you dont quite have the talent you needed to get yourself started
Jensen Karp has a cool podcast called ‘Get Up On This’ and he used to do a podcast with ItsTheReal called ‘Hypemen.’ You can find some of their episodes on djbooth.net, I recommend it they had great guests like Angela Yee, Bun B, Elliott Wilson, Peter
Rosenberg, and Freddie Gibbs. https://soundcloud.com/getuponthispod
