Hot on the heels of his Rolling Stone magazine cover with fellow rapper 50 Cent, Kanye West can add Blender Magazine to his ever growing list of cover features. In the October issue, he speaks on wanting children, how the whole “Kanye vs. 50″ thing was his idea, and how 50 Cent has more money than him.
Kanye In Blender.
KANYE ON KIDS
“Yes, I’m engaged. Yes, I plan to have kids,” he said. After that, ‘Ye quipped, “But I’m not gonna base the night that I conceive a child off of what I tell Blender magazine.”
KANYE ON ALBUM DATE & 50 CENT
“I pulled the trigger on that date,” he revealed, saying it was his idea for the rappers’ albums to go head to head. “I got on the phone with Def Jam like, ‘Yo, I want to do this.’ … There were people that weren’t ready for that fight. And I was like, ‘Man, this is what I do!’ ” Still, he did have some kind words to say about Fif: “Turn this up, please,” he said when 50′s “I Get Money” reportedly started playing on the radio during the interview. “50 is popping on this. … I hear 50 drop a number, like, ‘I spent this much,’ and I’m like, ‘Damn! 50 is so much richer than me!’
MORE PHOTOS FROM THE ROLLING STONE PHOTO SHOOT
Here are a few screen caps from behind the scenes of the Rolling Stone magazine shoot. Both rappers insist the competition between them is healthy for hip-hop. Kanye said: “Hip-hop is the only sport of music. And these are like championship moments.” 50 added: “We’ve gotta compete.”
don’t really care
I’m SICK of those damn window blinds shades. LOVE that cover though.
I LOVE how 50 & Ye are seemingly having fun at their photoshoot.
He actually looks cute on the cover..
I’ll cop both albums !!
always wanted to do that.
regardless of who sells, they both have a good attitude about it I think.
However,
CHITOWN STAND UP!
WHO CARES…HE LOOK A BLOODY MESS. SHITTY AZZ GLASSES….HE URKES ME.
…and the rich get richer.
yah! cant wait til my issue.
one of the best music mags out yall!
uh…Blender, not RS. haha
WHAT EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPE BOTH THE ALBUMS DO GOOD.
I’ll say this….at least they not trying to fake like it’s Real Beef. Now I kinda understand 50′s wanting to do the “debate thing”……..
I can feel Grown men trying to make money……
They jus get on my nerves.
kind
ok cl has promoted ye vs 50 like 1000 times now. I like the photo of them laughing though. Cute.
Regardless I’m still just gettin’ Kanye’s album….that’s it.
I’m bout to make me some of those window blade shades tonight from paper
I hate them d*mn glasses. Anyway the pictures look nice and i’m glad to see its just friendly competition. I might just buy both albums 50 is growing on me.
I’m glad to see Black men helping each other step their game up. This is the way rap used to be—batlles based on skills–not on hostility and violence. Kudos to both of them–no matter who sells more.They each have a specific niche in rap that they have made their own and I think since they appeal to different audience- each will do great sales wise.I personally prefer Kanye but…u know–to each his own….:-)
cute.
Wow, I for one am impressed with how classy and civilised the two men have kept this. They’re doing it for fun, and it’s good to hear that, instead of a life and death situation.
Kanye’s still my to-be babys daddy, and about what he said:
“Yes, I’m engaged. Yes, I plan to have kids,” he said. After that, ‘Ye quipped, “But I’m not gonna base the night that I conceive a child off of what I tell Blender magazine.”
That’s cause he be baby makin with me lol.
…I kid, his fiancée is a very lucky woman!
I cant lie I dont like 50 and really not a fan of Kanye West but these dudes are hella smart to have a buzz unto its time means money money….. I want yall all to wtahc it be the best selling numbers ever smart ass publicity stunt… Unlike usher raymond and his fake wedding
#18…I totally agree…I’m not a fan of either of these men’s muisc…Esp Kanye…he is soo annoying…but they are making moves…Esp 50 I hope he keeps this up and dont get himself in any trouble…I think 50 is a cutie when he smiles.
oops I meant #19,…not #18
It’s good to at least see this is good nature and all about the business and making that high and mighty dollar. I knew this was staged, not a big fan of either, but I commend them for playing the role of businessmen.
Kanye take off those white window blinds. That is not hot in the streets. Stop trying to bring back the Axel Foley look. geesh SMH
For all of you old school people, rembember that movie with Bruce LeRoy and Sho Nuff back in the day? I think it was called The Lat Dragon, I could be wrong, but those are the same glasses that Sho Nuff was wearing. (the white ones thet Kanye has on).
I’m glad to see they have a good attitude right now. Let’s see if they have the same attitude after they find out who sold the most…lol
I know I’m definitly gettin Kanye’s Album.
Love My Chitown Artists
Soooo what happens now. We now know that there’s no beef. What will fans prove if they buy ‘Ye’s album instead of ‘iddy’s or vice versa???
Good for them.
Please… NOT SUPPORTING NEITHER……. NEXT>>>>>>>>>
I get money! 50 is the best! Ye is alright! Very clever idea to get everyone in a frenzy. I am so haooy to see black folks help hip-hop evolve as well as themselves.
STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me or does Kanye look like Rickey Smiley’s character, LIL DARRYL?
Hell I’m just happy to see black folks getting along. No guns, no physical altercations…bravo. Couldnt have been TI..somebody woulda been scrappin, lol.
This is definately a good look for Hip-Hop…go make that money boys!
When it comes down to Kanye vs. 50 Cent, I’m going with Kanye. He’s just way more talented. There also seems to be a big difference in philosophy between the two. Kanye believes the key to a great album is great music whereas 50 seems to beleive its great marketing.
However Kanye seems to be doing somethings to hurt himself. For instance I did a blog over at Highbrid Nation where I talk about how Kanye refers to himself as feminine. Not a good look.
um kanye my mama want her kitchen blinds back
Am I the only one who is having trouble with them white shades?
#23 kiss my converse
no, #33 …i hate dem’ shades too.lol people say kanye’s arrogant, but i’d probably be too if i was that paid.money changes people all day.
it’s nice to see two rappers getting along,even though they albums drop the same day.it ain’t that serious for beef.
LMAO @23!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT PEEPED THAT!!
@sexual chocolate. I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie. LOL
@Tasia, It was so long ago. I hope he don’t think he’s doing something new.
that’s too funny
abit off topic but how come people keep saying 50 raps bout tha same shit ie money, cars, hoes etc and kanye west doesnt, not that am defending 50 but what exactly does kanye rap about thats so special???……..
besides that i think they are both very successfull, hardworking, intelligent young black men, although they may not be good rolemodels they are indeed very inspirational and are a better example than many of the useless lazy ignorant black men that we have roaming the streets
i hate 50 cent’s mean face eww!
Why does Kanye insist on looking like an 80′s teenage yuppie that didn’t quite get it right? :\
Oh mean I can’t wait until nxt. Tues is ova I am buying both cds.
Wow, he looks fruity.
Now I see why Kanye keeps his mouth closed for photos……..CLOSE that damn mouth Kanye you are shinning too much.!!!
I remember those shades in the 80′s! I thought Kanye had a porno problem that’s gonna be hard on a marriage but these hellywood marriage don’t have a problem with those type of issues. But I got to say 50 is very fine!! My goodness..
uh porno problem as in he likes to whatch them? If your man isnt whatching porno’s 3 47 that means ypu got a problem sorry to break that to you….
The black and white pic of 50 was the cutest pic I’ve ever seen of him.. Kanye looks like a gay pastor w/ those glasses (not the white vienna blind glasses) is this nigga wearin lip gloss? So THATS were Ne-Yos gloss went- I knew that niggas lips was lookin like a sidewalk in brooklyn for a reason.
Kanye looks sexy lookin down- (referin to the pic with the yellow rain jacket)
I luv Kanye’s photo I’m thinkin bout getting his album…..
Am i the only one who laughted my ass off after takin a glance at that cover?? Its so funni, cute!! I can see Kanye as a father,awww
I CAN’ STAND 50 ANY MORE. HE LOOKS LIKE A BIG, OLD, TALL MONKEY OR N APE. DID YA’LL HEARD WHAT HE DID TO CIARA…………………….DAMN, 50 DUMB ASS HIRED SOME FAKE STRIPPER THAT LOOK LIKE CIARA AND TOOK SOME PROVOCATIVE SHOT. YO WHEN CIARA FOUND OUT SHE WENT CRAZY AND SHIT SHE CALLED HIM UP AND CURSED HIM OUT.[ THAT GOOD FOR THAT SON OF A BITCH] SO I GUESS WE WON’T BE HEARIN ANY SONG FROM THEM TO. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
