Thanks, Twitter: Justin Bieber Will Record With Kanye
Justin Bieber and Kanye West spent part of last weekend in a Twittery
lovefest, complimenting each other's work and eventually waxing about a potential collaboration between themselves and Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon.
Now, the speculation is a reality. "It's definitely gonna happen," Raekwon tells
XXLMag.com. "When you got these kinda talents merging together to do something exciting, I think it's something that's gonna make the fans check it out. I'm big fans of both of these guys. I think, at the end of the day, shorty is a sensation."
He added, "For them to even just have a conversation and just put my name in it it feels good. For him to acknowledge me it makes me feel good that the young generation is checking me out like that."
The tweet that started it all, below:
And Bieber's excited concurrence:
Kanyeezy and the Biebs spent about an hour sending laudatory tweets to each other Sunday morning, with Kanye writing things like, "
Your album good @Justinbieber Playing it at my crib now" and
"So bugged out me and @JustinBieber are tweeting at the same time... Social networking is pretty awesome." Bieber responded with messages like, "
I'm 16 and a fan. I'm kinda hyped u are listening to my stuff. Thank u" and "what is crazy is that I play Heartless every night in my set acoustic. this convo is crazy for me. Excited 4 ur new album."
Raekwon is psyched about the collaboration for his own reasons. "It gives me a position to play a big brother in the game. He wants my assistance or whatever he can get it. I respect him, I like his style," the rapper, nicknamed The Chef, tells XXL. "We gon' make a hit. Justin got his own fan base and me and Yeezy got our own fan base and we gon' make it happen."
What do you think, folks? Hip-hop/pop collaboration of the millennium?

Why does this little lesbian thinks she's ghetto

I have a better question, why are you fixated on the sexuality of a 16-year-old boy?
As big a dweeb as Beib is, he doesn't hold a candle to the dweeb that Kanye is. Honestly what desperate attempt to revive his music career. Riding the coat tails of a squirt. How pathetic!

I think there is more to this than making music.....I can just see the little he/she playing Kayne's skin flute....Justines mama better intervene before her little Bieber girl gets down and nasty with West. When is this hideous kid going to dry up and blow away.....well at least we know he will be blowing...lol

After seeing this kid TRYING to execute King Of Pop dance move, gotta Say, Say, Say. NO rhythm. NO Icon. Period. Collaborate with whoever. Whoever, better make all they can. Quick.

Also gotta ask. What if Taylor Swift had been Black? What if in that instance, Kanye White? Race had NOTHING to do with what he did. Simply felt Beyonce deserved award. Not saying what he did was right. Also, what if publicity stunt?. Perhaps we should do away with one another. As some would say, first OJ, now Swift. Stupidest crap I've ever heard. ALL of it.

This Bieber kid is a prime example of how entertainment has hit the slimy bottom in this country. Hopefully his voice will change soon and he will get a job in a fast food restaurant and learn some real values in life. How pathetic that a parent would sell their kid into such a phony life for nothing more than money and undeserved fame. No wonder the kids in this country aren't making it in school anymore with such horrible role models.

Well, Justin doesn't do drugs, doesn't get drunk, doesn't tongue his fans, doesn't have crude sexual or profane lyrics, doesn't make obscene gestures during his concerts...yeah, what a horrible role model.
If you're trying to see why kids aren't cutting it in school, is a teen pop singer really the first person you blame? Start with the parents then go from there....
I am very disappointed in Justin Bieber's decision. This goes to show how immature he still is. Kanye West should be shunned and kicked out of the business.

Talent? Let's hurry and make lots of bucks because it's goin' quick. In a few years this stuff won't even sell in a thrift shop record section. So much for royalties.
