a new name for kanye

[sjp]

American rap superstar Kanye West has changed his name following a fashion show in in Paris.

The Stronger singer wants to be known as Martin 'Louis' The King Jr in future after being "forced" to adopt a new pseudonym following the launch of his new footwear range for Louis Vuitton, which was unveiled during Paris Fashion Week last week.

In a posting on his blog, the rapper said in a video message "to the world": "Due to what has happened - what has happened so severely when the red shoes hit the runway, I was forced to change my name to Martin Louis the King Jr. Address me as such."

Referencing TI's Swagger Like Us, Kanye ended the video by saying: "And until then I will be in the building, swagger on a hundred-thousand trillion."

Kanye recently revealed he is embarking on a fashion internship in London to help him carve out a successful career as a clothes designer.

He said: "I'm going to go and take an internship and just do something that's like completely normal, and just rap at the weekends or something."

Why does Kanye keep being such a dick? If he had spent more time focussing on his art and less time on his "swagger" (which is basically just that of a spoilt child) then hip-hop would be a better place.

i would rather him just never speak publicly again and stick to producing.

[mate_spawn_die]

i pretty much just ignore most the world news... and besides this place i don't here much about kanye... so can you people stop talking about him please?

wasn't the 808's and Cunt-Steaks thread enough?

his new stuff is so shit that it cant be the real kanye anyway

Maybe people like Eminem and Kanye actually get abducted by aliens at the height of their careers and made to perform as some type of court-jester type slaves on another planet. Sounds far-fetched but at least it would explain how amazingly shit they have managed to become after putting out a few classics.

[Lyman Zerga]

nah, eminem was always shit

[Lex Diamonds]

Wrong, bitch. Eminem ran shit at one point. I am your daddy and he is your abusive uncle so STFU.

[funk63]

The fame went to Kanye's head.

Wrong, bitch. Eminem ran shit at one point. I am your daddy and he is your abusive uncle so STFU.

nah, you got no more power over me so listen to my words of wisdom and shut the fuck up before i have to shut you the fuck up

I think he's going in the right direction. His music is bombing which means his career is bombing so he has to pull himself from the gutter.

Drama sells, if he's a cool guy and bombs out, nobody would give a shit about him. If he keeps being a jackass, he'll keep a hold of people's attention easier.
