Don’t forget where you saw this first, I know how you bloggers are.
During the Warped Tour, the dopeness that is Gym Class Heroes took the stage and were only able to perform one track before a fan went and called Travis a “fucking ignorant nigger.”
Travis then went and beat on the dude, breaking his microphone against his head. He then was charged with third-degree assault, but was released on a 500 dollar bond.
More on this over at MTV.
During Amy Winehouse’s performance at Glastonbury, not only did she punch a fan, rag on Jay-Z, and get booed by the audience, but she also had some harsh words for Kanye West, calling him a “cunt.”
“Let’s hear it for Jay-Z. The man has got bollocks to come here and play the tunes you don’t even know you remember. Imagine if it was a cunt like Kanye West. ‘Cunts Like Kanye’ - that should be his next album title.”
‘Ye then posted on his blog saying “Amy Winehouse hates me! Now i’ve finally made it!”.

So a few weeks ago, a video surfaced of 40 Glocc with Tyga’s chain, saying it was stolen or whatever.
In the above video, courtesy of RealTalkNY, Tyga clears the air on said situation.
Unkut: There was an interview that Kanye West did in Scratch magazine where he was talking about ‘I’ll sample drums off a Pete Rock instrumental if they’re open’. That was kinda funny to me.
Pete Rock: I believe it! I hear my snares out there, and I’m like ‘Wow, that’s fuckin’ crazy, man!’ I feel like that’s lazy shit. You obviously don’t love it as much as I do, because for you to not go out there and find it on your own…you’ll find so much if you just take the time out to go dig, man. We do all the hard work so y’all can just snatch our records up and listen for open snares and kicks? That’s some wack shit. I respect cats that come with their own sound. MORE.
Very interesting.
I remember on Last Call, Kanye goes on to say that he used Dr. Dre’s drums from Xxplosive on a Jay-Z track.
I dunno how I feel about sampling other producers for their drums, but it does seem like a jack move.
With that said, I can’t wait to see ‘Ye at the Glow In The Dark Tour in a few weeks
