Kanye West x Louis Vuitton. Now that the Kanye West x Nike Air Yeezy hype is over it’s time to move on to Kanye’s next sneaker project with Louis Vuitton. NiceKicks has a nice photo shoot of the upcoming kicks. Here are some select pics but head over to the site for more.

Kanye West for once will be BEHIND the camera as he will be directing Drake’s video to “Best I Ever Had.” Drake talks about the experience here to MTV including saying that Kanye “oozes creativity.”

Just so there is no incorrect information out there my sources are saying this is NOT an officially approved version of a Nike Air Yeezy commercial. It is a “spec TV spot” that a production company created in hopes of landing an account with Nike. This will most likely never make it to nation-wide broadcast but regardless it’s a pretty well done ad. Woooha!

Get ready for this one folks. The “Family Guy” spinoff is finally here. And yes….Kanye West will be appearing in the new season.

Kanye West x Thank You And You’re Welcome. Most hip-hop sites have already covered the fact that Kanye West is releasing his “Kanye-ism” book “Thank You And You’re Welcome” to book stores nation-wide on July 7th. Interesting thing though is this book has actually been in the market place for over a year. All the press releases and hype surrounding the book have failed to really mention that they were giving away this book to EVERY ONE in attendance during last year’s Kanye Glow in the Dark tour.

An estimated 150,000+ Kanye West fans were given the book as they exited the concert venues across the nation. Is it really a good marketing tactic to give this away to the fans who would actually pay for it? Well if you still are interested you can get the book for $8 at Amazon.

Kanye West x Twitter. Someone needs to take the CAPS LOCK away from this guy. Kanye goes on another rant about how he doesn’t use Twitter yet the website still lets all the Ye’ imposters continue faking. He kinda does have a point though. Read for yourself directly from Kayne’s blog….

Kanye’s shoe collabs with Louis Vuitton and Nike have both received tons of hype and press this year but apparently Kanye still is not satisfied. Infact, he is sounding a bit disgruntled at the fact that both Nike and LV will not give him a deal to launch an entire shoe line under Kanye’s own label. He recently told Complex:

“I wish Nike would give me a deal, I wish Louis would give me a deal. Since that hasn’t happened yet, I am in the process of making my own company from scratch to put out to my people.”

Is Kanye talking about his much-anticipated Pastelle clothing line? That clothing line has been more elusive than Bigfoot and the Lochness Monster combined but maybe it will now have a footwear component to it. Who knows but Kanye clearly is working on something. Get your kicks here.

Kanye West x Louis Vuitton. Kanye told the world on his blog that these were photos (see photos here) for his Louis Vuitton shoeline so the internet (including us) assumed it was for an LV ad campaign. We thought this a bit strange considering there is a naked Amber Rose in one of the ads and she doesn’t exactly personify what LV stands for.

Well Bossip is revealing that LV indeed is not using any of these ads for any future ad campaign and that the ads are most likely for a unnamed magazine photoshoot. This gives me hope that LV still has an ounce of decency left. I’m sure Kanye’s ghostwriter will comment soon.
