Kanye West rants about Taylor Swift, Pink, Drake, AND Eminem in a secret "leaked" interview following MTV's 2009 Video Music Awards. It looks like Yeezy finds some heated competition in the Detroit City rapper... will Slim Shady's highly-anticipated new 2013 record overpower and outsell West's "Yeezus" album?
Details surrounding Eminem's new album still remain very vague. Rumors suggest that his mystery eighth studio record might be named either "NiNE" or "Redemption." Check it out:
But is the excitement surrounding Slim Shady's fresh rap beats enough to trample Kanye West?
Apparently, West felt some competition with Eminem as early as 2009.
Check out shocking audio leaked by Gawker earlier this week. Apparently it was recorded while Yeezy was at dinner with friends at the Corner Bistro in New York City following the 2009 VMAs. The voice isn'c confirmed, but it sure does sound like the "Black Skinhead" rapper. Listen to the "interview" here.
I'd rather just let the [inaudible] speak for itself. You know, it's like, I was happy to be in a situation where people couldn't say, oh, I was trying to promote my own song. For the times that I've, like, defended myself... [Tape break] I'm pushing the envelope! I wrote my f#ckin' 'Run This Town' verse for a f#ckin' month! When I heard Eminem's verse on the Drake s#it, I went back and rewrote my shit for two days. I canceled appointments to rewrite! I f#ckin' care! You know what I'm saying? And that's what I'm saying. Because I did that, Taylor Swift cannot win over Beyoncé! Because I wrote my verse in two days, Taylor Swift cannot beat Beyoncé. As long as I'm alive! And if I'm alive, kill me then! Kill me then! As long as I'm alive, you gon' have to deal with it. 'Cause there ain't gonna be no more motherf#cking Elvises with no James Browns.
[A female voice asks, "Why are you so angry? What's the anger?"] Because my mother got arrested for the f#ckin' sit-ins. My mother died for this fame s#it! I moved to f#ckin' Hollywood chasing this s#it. My mother died because of this s#it. F#ck MTV.
It ain't no love. What the f#ck was Pink performing? Don't nobody know that song. Pink performed twice! Two songs? How the f#ck Pink perform two songs and I didn't even get asked to perform "Heartless." "Heartless" is the biggest song of the year! It had the most spins of the first quarter! I don't know that Pink song! But I noticed that she's pink! They put me in a f#ckin' room and [inaudible - maybe "projected it"].
[A male voice asks, "How the f#ck did Eminem get the Best Hip-Hop song in 2008?"] Eminem won Best Video! Rap Video! Yo, when he wont that s#it, I was so happy. I was so happy I [unclear - "ran all this s#it," maybe]. I said, "Ni##a, I'm gon' do this until y'all put a bullet in my head. I'm runnin' up to y'all, put a..." [tape cuts].
Pretty crazy... although a Yeezy rep insists that the audio sounds "staged."
Wonder if Eminem will rap about Yeezy's comments on his new album?
