Kanye West Posts Gigantic Rambling Message on Gap Store

Following the announcement of his new clothing line with Gap, Kanye West has unveiled a message about the partnership. A really, really big one.

On Sunday (June 28), photos started surfacing of a gigantic message that is draped over the Gap store at 555 N. Michigan Ave in Chicago. The larger-than-life memo covers the entire building and finds Kanye addressing his hometown.

“Thank God. Hi, Chicago. It’s ‘Ye. This is the Gap store I used to shop at when I would drive my Nissan from the Southside. So blessed. I thank God and I am humbled at the opportunity to serve. I put my heart into the color palette and every detail,” the message reads in part.

The rest of the message is a bit head-scratching, with ‘Ye seemingly throwing out random thoughts. “I love Tron original,” he continues. “Do you like stuff[[?]. I don’t know what to do with my hands. Love, Yeezy.”

Kanye first revealed his new deal with Gap on Friday (June 26). “YEEZY AND GAP FORM PARTNERSHIP #WESTDAYEVER,” the rapper posted in a tweet with a Gap logo featuring the word YZY.

“We are excited to welcome Kanye back to the Gap family as a creative visionary, building on the aesthetic and success of his YEEZY brand and together defining a next-level retail partnership,” Mark Breitbard, Global Head of Gap Brand said of the collaboration.

The new line will feature “modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points.” West has hired Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi as design director of the new line.

Glasses Malone Criticizes P-Lo Over Drake Collaboration Amidst Lamar Feud

Glasses Malone and P-Lo have resurrected a long standing West Coast debate, reigniting the Bay Area vs. Los Angeles loyalty issue after a discussion of Drake’s “2 Hard 4 The Radio.”

The track, which appeared on Drake’s ICEMAN, became one of the project’s more divisive songs because of its West Coast bounce, various disses, and its timing after Drake’s battle with Kendrick Lamar. Its Bay Area tribute to Mac Dre quickly sparked talk of regional loyalty, partly because Bay Area producer P-Lo co produced the song.

That conversation resurfaced during P-Lo’s appearance on the Back On Figg podcast, when Glasses Malone grilled the producer on his decision to work with Drake. In a phone call, Glasses claimed P-Lo’s participation was another case of selling out to the West Coast, stating that the region should be unified in the face of its enemies.

P-Lo saw it differently. He said he wasn’t even in the studio with Drake and had no idea about the disses on the track. He also emphasized that he’s in the music business and pointed to his direct relationship with E-40 instead of Kendrick Lamar.

Drake may have other things to worry about. A new snippet featuring Pusha T taking shots at Drake allegedly leaked online over the weekend as part of a wider leak of Drake’s project with Pharrell. Some fans dismissed the material entirely, while others wondered if the recording was fake

Kendrick, meanwhile, is setting his sights on another West Coast artist. He has been involved in making AZ Chike’s No Rest For The Wicked, guiding Chike through the album’s development. But despite that involvement, Kendrick did not appear on the project as a featured artist, as some fans had hoped.
