Kanye West revealed his wholehearted support for fellow rapper Pusha T with a rambling rant at T's album launch party in LA. See the speech below.
Guests at the event were shuttled to a mysterious location in NYC, with rumours suggesting that the Pusha T event (who is part of West's GOOD music collective) would host the event. And host it he did - in true Kanye style.
US website MissinfoTV reports that West took to the microphone during playback of the first track on Pusha T's My Name Is My Name to introduce the rapper and the album. See a video of his speech below.
MissinfoTV reports that West said to fans assembled:
"This the heart of the muthafucking city, act y’all ain’t have that muthafucking Clipse album and shit. Act like y’all ain’t base y’all whole shit, whole lifestyle off this ni**a Pusha T. Everything is Pusha T. Pyrex Vision, that’s Pusha T. Fear of God, that’s Pusha T. This ni**a the heart of the muthafucking culture for you culture vultures. This the only ni**a spitting that wild muthafucking hip-hop shit right now, that’s why I stand next to this ni**a. I don’t give a fuck about none of these corporations, none of these fucking sellouts, this muthafucking Pusha T.
"This is the fuck we make. We make good music, we make good music. We don’t give a fuck about how much god damn money you make, we make good music.
"I might get loose right now. We don’t give a fuck…..we don’t give a fuck. Ni**a this is that culture. This is that culture….for everybody stealing the culture, for all ni**as trying to do their camo prints at MAGIC this is for fuucking Pusha T."
Kanye added: "All these ni**as trying to extend their muthafucking t-shirts, trying to throw numbers on the back of their shit….this muthafucking Pusha T. “I have a t-shirt line, cause I got numbers at the back of my shit,” Fuck you."
