KANYE WEST & CASSIE COVER COMPLEX MAG

Friday, August 10, 2007

KanYe West & Cassie are the cover models for the August-September edition of Complex Magazine. Below are snippets and links from their interviews.

KANYE ON HIS CLOTHING LINE, Pastelle

COMPLEX: Talk to me about your clothing line, Pastelle. We’ve had countless conversations about it, you’ve talked about your aspiration to get in this industry and be taken seriously. What’s going on with Pastelle today, why is it taking so long?

KANYE IN COMPLEX KanYe West: Just getting the right designs. It’s a gift and a curse. You’ve got all eyes on you, so if you deliver something great, it’s gonna get held as, “Oh, it’s supposed to be great.” And even if it’s good or it’s OK or something, it’s gonna get bashed. There were phases where I could just do the bear on a Polo and it would’ve made $100 million. At a certain point. But I always say I was a designer before I was a rapper, and I really wanted to get into design. So then, trying to start designing and goin’ with my girl down to the fashion district and stuff, and looking at fabrics and stuff like that, I’m like, “Oh, shit. This is real.” I’ve learned so much about materials and fabrics and applications and sequence and shiny fabrics and fits and all type of shit. [ READ MORE ]

CASSIE ON THE HURTFUL THINGS PEOPLE SAID

COMPLEX: What’s the most hurtful thing that was said?

CASSIE: That I slept my way into the industry. I think that’s really vicious. If it had nothing to do with talent, at least it had something to do with charm. But it was never jumping into bed with somebody. That’s just gross. As far as people saying I couldn’t sing, I did a bad job so I couldn’t hate. I was in a tough place for a second. I got really sick and was in the hospital in like November or December. It was stress and exhaustion, and I ended up going home to Connecticut. [Puffy] actually called me up when I was at home and asked me what I wanted to do. I was like, “I want to do another album.”

Damnnn, Cassie should stick 2 the modelling… After being exhausted AND stressed the last time around, you would think she learned SOMETHING… But NOPE, she wants 2 bring out ANOTHER album… Lord have mercy!

Kanye looks great on the cover… Hope that his clothing line will be succesfull!
We’ll see…

As for cassie girl you don’t have any talent that’s not being mean that’s just the truth you can’t sing a lick!! But I have one nice thing to say you are very pretty! as far as if you slept your way thought the industry I have no comment because I don’t know if you did it are not, because you know what you did and you have to live with your self so I don’t care!

Kanye…..zzzz.

Cassie looks nice…definitely should have stuck to modeling. At least she admits she has no talent lol. But for a second I thought she was covering a Playboy “wet and naughty” coeds magazine. Don’t even ask me how I came up with that name. It’s too damn early in the morning!!

cassie should do some vocal lessons and come back. i do feel kinda sry for her since shes being bashed so hard. she admits she didnt do a such good job. she should at least do something against it

7.

Im the only polar bear up in this bitch

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Exhaustion or not, Cassie, sweetie, u still have no talent, ok, fall back & model, don’t listen to Diddy, he’s a liar.

@ #6

Not trying to get confrontational or anything, but why should a gorgeous young woman like Cassie (who is a great model btw) get a chance to record ANOTHER album, when she clearly has no vocal talent. What about all the other young women out there (who are indeed, the total package) who are trying to break into the recording industry? Why waste money on Cassie, when music moguls can spend better time finding the next Whitney or Lauren Hill? R&B needs to regain its soul….because its nothing but watered down hip hop/pop crap. But that is just my opinion.

#7 you are so right!

#6 that so true she do something about that voice of hers!

Lula Pear

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

I didn’t read all of her interview, but I had heard her say before that people were turned onto her by her looks… So, it’s sorta like she isn’t trying to get over… She mostly talks though, wouldn’t call that singing… Maybe she can do that, sorta do the mechanical, sexy-voice choruses in songs????

11.

mymy

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

8# damn that is do true because their women in my hood that can blow their ass off and can’t even found a record deal but here comes cassie with her no singing ass gets a record deal. Why do the people with the real talent don’t get props or get a record deal that really up set me

12.

Lula Pear

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

@11 because it’s sheer capitalism… always a market in vanity… that’s why they go Beyonce crazy, it’s like she CAN actually sing, so it’s easier to pretend they’re serious about her acting/fashion design/writing skills. It’s harder for them with Cassie and that’s basically why she’s…. well, whatever she is…

Cassie looks like a tranny Filipino boy with a wig on to me.

^^ HA!! She does!!! I’m a girl and I would wear pieces from Kanye’s line… tops and such… nothing Dabrat-like

Drippin_N_Dollaz

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Well, she does look like a tranny boy Filipino! Really take a good look at Cassie. That’s why s(he) can’t sing. S(he)’s trying to hit notes that those male vocal cords just ain’t quite hormone injected enough to hit yet.

21.

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Cassie is so pretty. I do have to agree with her though some of the things that was said about her was mean as hell but she’s going to have to learn that that is just part of the business.

22.

Keisha

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

There aint nothing wrong with Cassie. The girl is beautiful and talented in many ways, all u people seem to do is wait for someone to slip up and you be all guns out, ready to fire, n you sure murdered Cassie. And as for ‘Drippin N Dollaz’, you be the type to holla for a dolla. N take a closer look at your own picture when u be talkin bout Tranny’z.

kayne–pastelle is kinda a “sweet” name. good luck though.

Cassie- read the interview it was very candid. Give it another try-seems like you had a lot of lessons learned from your first time around and the vocal coaches will do you good.

Is that the inspiration for his clothing line??

Kanye looks colorful as hes been throughout this promotion…

Cassie should def stick too modeling..her album didnt even go platinum or GOLD.. Diddy let the girl rest in her Connecticut home or be her modeling agent GOODNESS

Cassie can’t really sing…she talk sings…that ain’t singing. I do luv i Long Way 2 Go but singing clearly is not her gift. Why must we force it?

of all the rappers with clothing lines. I think i would be interested in Kanye line. As far as Cassie. She’s so cute you can’t dislike her. I mean all these new R&B chicks are nice to look at but on mute!! lol.. I love cassie though she seems like a nice girl

38.

Miss Erin

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Stressed and exhausted over what is my question? She really should have just stuck to modeling…the only reason some of her songs sound alright is because Ryan Leslie produced them…

39.

#22 I think you should take a look at the rules about personal attacks because that was completely uncalled for

40.

MAI03

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

I think the whole thing with Cassie was like Puff was trying to make her the next Aaliyah. Think about it, she was marketed as a dancer (in her 1st video) and her fashion and hair was similar to Aaliyah. But I think it all backfired when people actually saw her perform live. She was horrible, weak vocals with no stage presence at all. Then when the very first me and you video came out, is when alot of people who were trying to remain her fan, just lost respect for her. That first video was 2 steps away from a porn video, and she wonders why people were saying she slept her way to a record deal. I remember in that video, her pulling down some dudes pants, and her face being all close to his penis like she was about to give him a blow job. Then she was in her panies and bra in the video. It was disgusting, and nothing I want my young daughter to see.
With that being said, I think she tried to rectify it by comming out with A Long Way To Go a kind of more pop, kid friendly tune and video. But folks still wasn’t buying it. However, I do admire her wanting to come back and try again. So well see……

41.

one tree hill

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Cassie u may be a great person but u can’t sing and u said u got a long way 2 go !! As 4 Kanye I will be lookin forword 2 ur clothing line.

42.

MixteriousJay

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

@8 i totally agree with you. but if ever, they should have not let her get a deal in the first place. im just saying, now that shes already willing to record and i obviously cant do anything against it, she should at least save uf the pain and learn how to sing. we cant prevent it happening, but if its gonna happen at least do it right.
of course its a waste of many, theres so many ppl out there that deserve a deal and its sad to see ppl like cassie gettin one so easily.

43.

MixteriousJay

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

oh and its sad cause shes not even dancing. i remember ciara not being able to sing at all at first, but she stood up cause of her dancing abilities wich are great. she did learn to properly sing with this new album in my eyes. cant play her.

44.

what you know about that

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

This is good for Kanye. I don’t think he’s had a lot of publicity for this album.

45.

Beanie says”you might as well come all the way out the closet”!

Nah, just playing Kanye but, you set yourself up for that one! I’m actually looking forward to your clothing line….but you have to change the name of it. Come on now, I don’t any guy willing to wear something called Pastelle…It makes me think of pastel and when I think of pastel, I think of easter dress!

46.

what you know about that

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

A lot of people would have hid under a rock by now, so Cassie should AT LEAST be commended for trying. But at the same time, Puffy gave this chick a second chance which he rarely does for people, so it does make me question his intentions.

47.

Stop hating on Cassie, she getting paid and its working for her…find out how u can make some money and get off her d*ck! Cassie is Gorgeous!!!!!!!!! The hating comes with looking that damn sexy.

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Cassie, give it up girl. Vocallly, you suck and a cute face is only gonna take you so far. Don’t hold your breath for a new album Cassie stans, Puffy just wanted to seem concerned, getting her back in the booth is probably the last thing on his mind.

Cassie’s looking a little bit like a wet dog (poodle) that’s underfed. That is NOT sexy.

That name that Kanye picked is just a little too fruity for my taste.

I think Kayne has a reasont o to be as cocky as he is the man is fly. Not to sound like no punk or nothing but Ive always like Kanye’s sense of style. I believe his clothing line will do well.

Cassie I like the fact that she is strong minded and has determination. Thats a good look

53.

CAFF THE OUTCAST

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Everyone is saying “Cassie is pretty, but that’s about it”. But um, judging from the year and the current state of extreme vanity we live in, does she need to be anything else to be successful?

It’s unfortunate, but that’s the world we live in.

Kanye….you gotta luv him!!! I look forward to his clothing line and album!!! I must say I’m not to crazy about the name. Will his clothing line be for men and women?

62.

sdotcarter

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

yes, she needs to be talented like BEYONCE

63.

oh man

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

thats sad, just because a person looks she can get a record deal, they know that girl cant sing, but she is gorgeous, so lets try to mold her into one. Thats ashame, I think she will give it up if it doesnt work out, she may go back to modeling!!

Remember when Tyra was trying to sing, it didnt do well, she went back to modeling!!

As for Kanye. I guess….

My thing is this I know a few girls trying to make it in the business..who’s the total package. They can’t even get a shot, because they didn’t sleep with producers we all know. Then here comes Cassie, though cute and probably a good print model comes along…with no real singing ability and she gets a record deal….How??? This is all I want to know.

Kanye…..sit ur ass down.

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

I’m sure that most people assumed she slept her way to the top based on the low-budget original video for ‘Me & U’, which featured little miss pulling off a males pants and getting into a very…sexual position which incorporated oral sex.

Diddy knows he is NOT right for wasting millions of dollars all over again on her album.

75.

CAFF AKA "MR. BANNED FOR NOT SUGAR COATING HIS COMMENTS"

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

LMAO @ cassie performances though

Yo, what the hell is wrong with Diddy. You can tell dude is a clown. Look at the rigorous training he puts artists through on national tv. He demands no less than the best from them. But then, he goes and puts out Cassie and let’s her actually perform in front of crowds?

LOL

That shit doesn’t add up. 90% of the broads who got cut from MTB when Danity Kane was being formed, were 10 million times better than Cassie vocally and they were definitely easy on the eyes.

Diddy is a clown. Bad Boy R.I.P.

76.

CAFF AKA "MR. BANNED FOR NOT SUGAR COATING HIS COMMENTS"

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

#72 I feel you…

I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re a three possible ways of breaking into the industry on a national scale.

1. Bloodline: A person is directly connected to a million dollar name. Parents, uncle, aunt, grandmother, sister, brother, yadda yadda. It’s easier to put something out, saying that they are so and so’s daughter, versus putting out a “nobody”.

2. Money: Artists who don’t fall into that first category are usually already doing well on their own without the help of a label. Indie artists who have already generated a substantial amount of funds and mass appeal, will most likely get a deal because that’s less work and project funding for a label.

3. Sex: Good looking women can get far on their pussy. Then they can flip the money earned from fucking moguls, producers and anyone important, into more cash. That’s where scenario number two comes in. Now that they have the money and the exposure, they can get in.

None of these artists out here are getting plucked off the street. There’s too many people to do that. If you can’t do something for a label or person, there’s nothing they can do for you. And that goes for every branch of entertainment. Do research on an artists and you’ll find that one of the three options above will apply.

Kanye is wrong for that name….but Im sure the clothing line will be hot. As far as Cassie….She is a pretty girl who should just stick to modeling. Her ass cant sing if she wanted to. She was in the hospital in November or December, so what is her excuse for sounding so terrible before and after that time period???

luvs2speakhermind

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Kanye is so ugly. he should never do covers and just put his little bear logo on them instead LOL.

Cassie you aint fooling nobody. No one should feel sorry for this girl because she knows she’s not talented and is using sex to sell. That song Me & U had a nice beat, thanks to Ryan, but the lyrics were so nasty. She’s one of them innocent hos. The type of girl who looks sweet and innocent but sleeps around and is easy to get in bed. I do think that Cassie slept with Diddy because shit does not add up.

He yelled at all them girls from DK for not hitting the right note and Cassie can’t hit any notes whatsoever. He even said there’s so many untalented people in the industry and some succeed because of a new hair do. Cassie’s voice is an absolute joke. She’s seriously talking and she shouldn’t even be given the opportunity to put out another CD. Diddy knows that and that is why he bought half (50,000) of her album sales the first week.

86.

keke

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

Say what you want about Kanye….yeah he is cocky but he knows that. I think he is just his biggest support system because the industry can be really hard on ppl. I think he is honest about his qualities and accomplishments and also his imperfections. I think he is a dope producer, one of the best of this generation and he has a fly sense of style. I also know that when his album drops, I will be buying 2 copies to support him cause I know its gonna be hot!!!

87.

EBZ01

Friday, August 10, 2007 /

She didn’t have to do a cover like that but she is hot…………….Cassie is another girl that can sing just not well…….at all….i’m not rooting or saying she shouldn’t make another album though but I didn’t buy the first and prolly wouldn’t cop the 2nd. I don’t think she slept her way into the industry because I mean she was a model and people love to use that on women but I don’t doubt she had a lil’ thing with Diddy.

*shrugs in indifference @ Kanye*

cassie’s a pretty chick but no talent. i think this is better for her than the modeling b/c she gets more money singing. it’s worse for us but better for her. if you’re going to be a model, you have to be a SUPERmodel to REALLY make a great living, great free clothes, etc. but she never was a supermodel and never can be so she’ll get more $ and freebies by singing

LOVE KANYE! i like that he’s different than most other rappers. what other black man would call his clothing line “pastelle”? that’s what i love.

I hope that Kanye has much success in the future with his clothing line. I really think that he has an art and design mind. Therefore I’m sure his clothing will be nice, plus he is surrounded by other people in the field. PLEASE KANYE make sure your clothing is of QUALITY. Some celebrities clothing lines are not worth the price with the poor quality in fabric and manufacturing of their brands. The name hmmm I need to hear it, I’m guessing it’s French. I suppose it’s alright if the name fits the style of clothing he’s selling.

Cassie singing not your thing and that’s ok. I say stay with modeling you will probably make more money that way.

Cassie is pretty and I think that’s all everybody can agree on!

Kanye looks fly on the cover. he HAS calmed down with his ego. I can’t believe he was the same guy two years back. I like Kanye now:)

Good luck to both Kanye and Cassie.

Kanye is soooo talented and creative, luv him. I think he’s going to do so well this time around again. Much props. And so what he’s cocky, nobody criticized Jayz’s ass for being cocky! Any time you give yourself the title “best rapper alive”, don’t get no more cockier than that; tooting your own horn, and lying at that! But that’s another post. So i say big ups to Kanye, arrogant ass and all.

And Cassie is too pretty and she’s actually a good little dancer. LOL @ people talkin about her body looks like a child…reality check…everybody’s not fat with big fat wide baby makin hips and big mama tits, thunder thighs, and pullin a big stankin ass behind them…beauty comes in different shapes and sizes, and Cassie is beautiful the way she looks. How many other women on here will collect a dime from a merchant and get modeling jobs based on how they look! I noticed it seemed mostly women were making the criticisms of Cassie’s body, but check this ladies, WHILE YOU WERE DOGGING HER, THE MEN WERE LOVIN HER BODY.

Think if Cassie had big titts and a fat ass then she probably wouldn’t be a model unless she’s was posing for King or Smooth.

You know agencies like Elite or Ford aint ready for the thick chicks yet.

I will give Cassie some credit for owning up to doing a bad job, because some people seem to never realize just how bad their voices are. And I do agree that it’s disgusting that people would say she slept her way through the industry. I’m not saying it’s never happened, but these days, people just love to automatically assume that’s how a female got her deal. Pathetic, really.

I love Kanye, he can do no wrong in my eyes. I’m waiting for the album to drop.

Cassie needs to give it up, I don’t care about her vocal training it still wouldn’t be natural. She can’t sing, she should accept that and get back to modeling. Countless girls who can acutally blow want the opportunity, why waste time with her. Diddy’s a dummy for letting her do another album, he needs to let her go and find someone with raw talent.

@92
Well, those poses aren’t “high fashion,” they’re soft core porn, so King or XXL eye candy. So, of course people would compare, even if unconsciously, to those more pyriform women. And, soooooo, in light of all that, she looks prepubescent… Sorry.

” … sequence and shiny fabrics and fits and all type of shit.”

When will we learn? Those shiny little discs are not “sequence.” They’re “sequins.” How did that not get fixed?

I thoroughly enjoyed the Cassie interview. It was candid and I think she was real. Although her live performances weren’t up to par, her album was solid and I believe she captured the attention of the audience she was trying to reach. She knows people are watching her closely so hopefully she does better this time around. I wish her luck.

You know what’s funny about all this??? We’re having this debate about Cassie, and the bottom line is that SHE CAN NOT SING!!!!!!!!!! So, it’s like, why are we even discussing it? lol right?? She should do something else and stop pining for attention and sympathy because the best we can do is patronize her as, I will say it again, SHE CAN NOT SING!!!!!!!!! Go away, Cassie.

I cannot believe the filth and hatred coming out of some of you people on this website. If Cassie had no talent do you sincerely think that she would have been given a contract?? I now know that most of you have nothing to do but sit around and hate. Cassie has worked very hard to get where she is and perhaps if any of you would go down the same road, you would see how difficult it is. As you all know, Cassie is bi-racial, maybe that is the problem with some of you. She is not black enough for you. As one who knows Cassie very well, I say to you all, she has not slept with anyone to get to the top. Whoever started this vicious rumor, just remember what goes around comes around. I know most of you are jealous of her body….To the one who said that she was a he…you can stuff it. You are probably one who wishes she was. I can assure you she is not. Cassie is multi-talented and she expresses it very well. As she matures, you will see. Kanye is another great talent. People should recognize it……….Take it from one who knows.
