Kanye West and Taylor Swift are now at war over one of his new songs, in which he raps, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, I made that bitch famous."
Taylor came out swinging Thursday night, disputing our story that sources told us Kanye called her about the song and she thought the lyrics were funny and had no problem with him releasing the track.
Tayor's rep says, "Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single 'Famous' on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, 'I made that bitch famous.'"
But Kanye has just fired back, tweeting, "I called Taylor and had an hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings."
Kanye goes on, "Bitch is an endearing term in hip hop like the word n****." And, Kanye says, it was Taylor who actually inspired him with the lyric. He says, "She was having dinner with one of our friends who's name I will keep out of this and she told him, I can't be mad at Kanye because he made me famous!"

Kanye Bars on the new album
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ I made that bitch famous."
People call him out. He says:
"I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings" among other things
on the flipside:
Swift's spokesperson has shared a statement saying that West did not ask for her approval and that she "cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message
i'm anticipating listening to this album, but Kanye has a serious problem with women.
i really think he views Kim (and the other Kardashians) as a trophy. they're objects that he uses to serve his purposes (e.g., wife, pop out some kids, elevated status, more popularity, the sense of belonging to a large family). i bet if someone asked him why he loves Kim or what made him marry her that the majority of his answer would be about what she and her family has done for him and little about who she is as a person.
I was listening to college dropout a few weeks back, and it's evident on there. it stands out more now.

**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
he referred to a white woman as a bitch in a rap song and somehow it's more proof he hates women.
whatever, it's rap.

the way he talked about the Kardashians on that Breakfast Club shows a lot of it. but if you listen to his interviews in talking about Kim, there is a very strong pattern.

artists speak thru their art and I think he's told a lot about his direction but folks don't listen...
honestly, I was pissed he married Kim ( a white girl) but she takes care of the brother (check how she handles the media for him) i can see why he loves her I respect that
and sure, she is a trophy wife. So what? Thats what he wanted and thats what he got.

What an idiot. Even when people get called out on using it, they usually give the de-facto fucked up answer of 'I ain't talking all women, just those kind of women. If you aint a bitch, you don't gotta worry about it' (which is a cop out in itself, but at least makes more sense then what Kanye said)
9. "They both lying" In response to Reply # 0 Fri Feb-12-16 12:50 PM by BigReg
Kanye def called her about the lyric since he aint THAT dumb, but it was probably very watered down from what he originally told her. Plus his defending of said bars sounds kinda shaky.
“5th thing I’m not even gone take credit for the idea… it’s actually something Taylor came up with …”"
“She was having dinner with one of our friends who’s name I will keep out of this and she told him ‘I can’t be mad at Kanye because he made me famous! #FACTS’”
Girlymouthed hearsay ain't proof, lol.
However her acting like, 'Who, ME?" is disingenous. I figure he probably called her about the me and swift had sex line and she was cool with it, but that 'I made the bitch famous' is something no woman i can think of would agree with, even if true.

as fuck when rappers perform at award shows?
She wanna be down with Ye and em.
Maybe it's because Ye sold out MSG playing songs on his phone while showing Matrix clothing.
Whether people want to admit or not Ye is a big fucking deal.

47. "If he called her, he didn't tell her the actual lyrics" In response to Reply # 0 Fri Feb-12-16 06:58 PM by TomWaitsInOkkervil
Probably just something vague about mentioning her, maybe even that he was gonna joke about making her famous. I could maybe believe that (though it's still dubious).
No way he called and told her it was anything close to as disrespectful and misogynistic as the actual lyric and she said it was cool.
Two things: rappers lie and rappers tend to say things...especially on record...to get reactions.
Aka rappers are amongst the original trolls. Broke dudes act rich. Petty thieves are crime bosses. Fat dudes are fuck machines and macks. Dudes who sold drugs for less than a year are Pablo. Dudes who had one fight in middle school are tough guys. All little guys are super duper tough guys. Everyone is ultra cool...even the regular guy rappers. And the keeping it real rapper type...oh boy. Everyone else sucks except them and they the realest! They don't want what them 'wack emcees' have. Nope..not at all.
Because hiphop has a lengthy history now, trolling is tougher than ever. Kanye has the rapper contra code since he's constantly in 'famous person' situations, so when he says basic rapper shit, people react. Usually overly react. The people with the craziest boycott-type reactions don't accept the basic ideas behind rapping: Say rhymes that people react to. Aka moving the crowd. It ain't his fault the crowd he's trying to get to react is more wack than ever. Wack: people don't care about rap music. They care about celebrity bs and 'stature'. And people don't appreciate the music in general. Most everyone is taking in so much info that the beats and rhymes part of it doesn't get the coverage. So rappers are singing, dancing, selling clothes and liquor, and all sorts of other stuff.
Having written all that, dude crazy. And he prolly 'cleared' a nicer version of the line and then changed it. She wasn't cool with it but he dropped it anyway because rappers be trolling. I'm desensitized to cussing. And I thought it was a clunky joke. And fight wolks wth nothing to do but be mad at famous people can be newly mad at him again...prolly means good music for me. Silly me, I just want the music! I'm stuck having to stream that fashion show to hear the album until he puts some version out.
