7 Rappers Who Could Be Future Kings Of New York
However far outside the city or inside the culture you are, the average music fan understands New York City's DNA is rife with hip-hop. Trinidad James, too. Even though he took aim at the hip-hop mecca last week (with flagrant AK-ammo, might we add), he recognizes the royal apple for what it'll always be – legendary. “This is to let the city of New York know that, no, I was not trying to disrespect you at all,” he later said in a video, er, semi-apology.

God On Yeezus: Charlamagne Talks Challenging Kanye On The Breakfast Club .
Radio jock Charlamagne Tha God gives the backstory on his epic on-air conversation with Kanye West
For the Kanye West obsessive, Thanksgiving arrived a few days early. After illuminating New York City brighter than its normal holiday wattage with his “Yeezus Tour”––two shows each at Barclays and Madison Square Garden––Kim Kardashian’s better half capped his Big Apple exhibitions with a 48-hour press run that appeared as dizzying in route as it was on-air. The impassioned and often enigmatic rap artist stopped by terrestrial stations like Z100 and satellite kings such as Sirius. His interviews ran a monopoly on Internet headlines. There was breaking news (the Yeezys fart Air; Ye inks new shoe deal with Adidas), new info on old news (West chose Jay-Z over Dame Dash to learn how to be nice), a litany of poppycock quotables (“Me and Don C got people wearing Jordans”), and an expected spazz on an unexpected target (Sway Calloway).

Report: Kanye West Adidas Deal Cost $10 Million, Plus Royalties
Look up a pair of Air Yeezy's on eBay and prices range from $300 to $3000. It's fair to say that there are people out there that would pay an arm and a leg for a pair of West's sneaker collaboration with Nike, but it's the end of the line for Air Yeezys, at least for now.
West has allegedly inked a new deal with Nike rival Adidas. According to the New York Post's Page Six, the deal was worth $10 million and West will receive royalties for each pair that sells.
Take A Look At An Adolescent Kanye West In China [Photo] .
After a week full of rant and spazz-filled shenanigans, we all can appreciate a bit of vintage Ye. An adorable photo of a young Kanye West has made its way to the 'net thanks to a RapGenius and Kanye To The user named Frak. In the photo, young Ye sits on a bridge in China beside an older couple. Frak gave a little bit more insight on the making of the rare photo:
"This is crazy. My dad is an astronomy professor, and we just had dinner with his astronomy advisor from Harvard. He asked what I was into and I told him about my ventures into hip-hop (I’m a rapper/producer). He asked if I knew about Kanye West, and obviously being a Ye stan I kept my cool and told him yes. He then told me that him and Donda West were good friends and co-teachers in China, and he got to spend a great deal of time playing with Kanye as a kid. Out of nowhere he whips out this picture and my jaw-drops. He said Kanye was a really sweet kid who wasn’t afraid to speak to adults and ask questions."
Whether Mr. West intended for the image to be floating around or not, this is a sweet find.
