Kanye West's mouth moves a lot without his brain being anywhere nearby... Now that he married into the Kardashin family he is even more of the background noise to me than before.
I know these guys are just part of a perfectly harmless legit cultural style and all, but I still think they are a bunch of thugs, but that is just my opinion. I still don't get why Apple wants to be so closely associated with with Dre and his ilk. Even that older iChat session seemed like a real sell out from Jobs... just pimppin' iTunes.
It is easy to find all these loser's arrest records with a quick Google search, including the one below: I'm assuming the 'Steve Stoute' pictured above is the same as mentioned in this excerpt from an article about Sean Combs' brushes with the law.
On April 15, 1999, Combs was accused of assaulting Steve Stoute of Interscope Records. Stoute was the manager for Nas, whose video for "Hate Me Now" featured Combs being crucified. Though Combs had willingly filmed the video scene earlier that year, he demanded that the images be removed.
Stoute's refusal led to an argument and Combs' arrest for aggravated assault. This was followed by a yet more negative publicity as The Lox left Bad Boy Records, and a recording session with Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease (both of B.I.G.'s Junior M.A.F.I.A.) posse was interrupted by gunfire.
There are a number of the same sorts of arrest records for Andre Young, but I'll let you find those for yourselves.
"There would have been no Beats deal without the Samsung deal. It showed the No. 1 company the importance of connecting with culture," West said of Apple. "The reason I said I didn't like Samsung particularly is because throughout my entire life, because of how my parents raised me, I have to work with the No. 1. [...] Samsung is not quite Apple, but it showed that Jimmy and Dre would be able to connect with the No. 1 influencers."
West, a devout Apple fan who previously compared himself to cofounder Steve Jobs, said he isn't a Samsung supporter, but respected the Korean company's decision to tap pop culture with its Jay Z deal. Apple was subsequently influenced by the partnership and ended up buying Beats, he said.
"Steve Jobs, as everyone knows, was my biggest influence. Just seeing the way he fought to make things easier for people. After he passed, I made it my life's mission to do what he did inside of that company," West said. "I dream to help raise the palate and raise the taste level of a generation and also be involved with the production and distribution and advertising of that thing everyone's begging for."
I think Kanye is thinking Apple will read this interview and give him a billion and treat him like he was Dre.
Ain't goona happen, Kanye. You're more of a nobody than you realize.
Kanye... Apple knows you can't buy culture. You can't buy taste or respect. A million dollars (or Pamela Anderson) doesn't buy class. Perhaps you need a reminder...
And AI publishes this horseshit? Kayne is a juvenile with a talent for rapping and nothing else. Cue and Tim have already said why Apple bought Beats: great talent, not just deal maker extraordinaire, but Beats 550 employees, an Apple-styled curated music streaming service done right, and hardware, a way for Apple to fast track their way into the wearable market with cool overear headphones — only now designed and engineered by Apple with Beats branding and market share behind them. He said it was a no brainer and I believe them. And other future avenues like wireless speakers.
Wouldn't at all surprise me if Apple's long term goal with Beats headphones is to replace the iPod with them using your iWatch (or your iPhone) as the viewer/controller for your music.
It has nothing to do with that embarrassing South Korean company.
OK if Kanye is still in Cannes when Jony gets there later this week he needs to give Kanye a swift ass kicking. Can't stand that guy, And I'm assuming unlike Dre, I can say that without people throwing out the race card.
"Credibility" and "Kanye West" don't seem to go together. Ask Annie Leibovitz, who thankfully had the gumption to say no. Kanye West, who is reportedly in dire financial straits until Jay-Z provided a much-needed lifetime (in exchange for control over his business affairs), is just repaying his boss whose much-heralded co-branding undertaking with a corrupt Korean chaebol was a monumental flop.

Kanye's still a jackass.

What? You don't believe the story of how Apple was running scared of Samsung's bump in street cred from their Jay-Z promotion?¡
Who?
Not hate, just doesn't care about them.

And I guess your heartfelt apology (and your mother's respect) mean just as much to you as *your* "culture"...

Kanye, Trump, Icahn, Schmidt, Ballmer, The entirety of Samsung.
Now there's a club!
There was a collaboration between fellow performer Jay Z and Samsung last year?
Who's Jay Z? What's a Samsung?
