Kanye West, always one step ahead of the rest, has found an unlikely collaborator: Mark “World’s Oldest Boy” Zuckerberg. In the past, fans may have balked at his decision to work with Bon Iver or Katy Perry, but the results have been better than expected. Now, though, in a year when West has been working tirelessly to …

After denouncing the bad-faith grifters who glommed onto his star, Kanye West has—knock on wood—so far managed to uphold his promise to stay the hell out of politics. It felt like something of a soft reboot, then, when he and Kid Cudi debuted their Kids See Ghosts stage show at Tyler the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw…

On a crazy motherfucker of a week, sometimes you just need a little Tracy Morgan in your life. For Seth Meyers, who spent his Thursday “A Closer Look” segment breaking down how Donald Trump has “lost his mind” desperately looking to distract people from both the looming Mueller investigation and the Republicans’…

In what might finally be the light at the end of the tunnel for people still managing to publicly identify themselves as fans of Kanye West—or possibly just another oncoming train, loaded up with MAGA hats and alt-right chuds, and with “Scoopity Poop” scrawled along the side—West has said that he’s done talking about…

Well, this is it. The internet is done. We’ve seen the last thing the internet has needed to produce, and once we pass it along to you, we can start getting ready to shut the whole internet down. Man, the idea of connecting everyone in the world to a limitless supply of information sure seemed like a good idea at the…

As with so many places where entertainment and emotion intersect, rap beefs exist in a weird, semi-real space. On the one hand, they’re pure marketing moves—a way for two performers to raise each other’s profiles, show off their lyrical cleverness, and hopefully sell a few extra albums. But they’re also often the…

Leonard Cohen passed away in 2016, but the game-changing songwriter left behind a trove of unpublished material. That included several poems, the likes of which were recently published in a collection, The Flame, which counts among its pieces one called “Kanye West Is Not Picasso.”

Kenan Thompson joined old Saturday Night Live pal Seth Meyers on Monday’s Late Night, with the two SNL veterans swapping the requisite stories from the live comedy trenches. Meyers, who’s hosting SNL for the first time on October 13, praised Thompson’s recent Emmy nomination for his unprecedented 16th year on the…

We’re as exhausted by all these latest twists in the hat-based antics of Kanye West as everybody else by this point, so let’s keep this short and sweet: West announced today that his much-mentioned album Yandhi—which missed the September 29 release date he’s been hyping for it for weeks—has now been officially…

When Kanye West indulges in his, shall we say, extracurricular activities—up to and including dumbass social media posts and poorly received rants on late-night sketch comedy shows—people will often say he’s doing it for the attention. If that’s the case—if Kanye is simply dabbling in the world of Trump in order to…

Kanye West was the musical guest on last night’s Saturday Night Live season premiere, and as literally everyone on the planet could’ve predicted, he did some weird shit that seemed specifically designed to generate news stories like, oh, this one. As noted in our review of the episode, his first song involved him…

And Kanye West scoopity-poops all over the place.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, September 28 and Saturday, September 29. All times are Eastern

God, but does the Kanye fatigue set in fast some times. Which is to say, professional rap contrarian Kanye West is on a diamond-encrusted roll today, proudly throwing down his support for alleged (and admitted!) sexual abusers of all shapes and stripes, which is definitely something America needed to put up with on…

The season is changing, and with it, the state of Kanye West. Over the last year, we’ve seen Kanye on a lot of things: The soapbox, the defensive, his hustle, and the couch of an ABC talk show, talking about his tastes re: jerking off. But now the Ye rapper is back at last on his home turf: His bullshit. (And also the…

On the occasion of his first PornHub Awards as creative director, Kanye West premiered the video for “I Love It,” a short-and-sweet collaboration with Lil Pump, Adele Givens, and Spike Jonze. West directed the video, in which he and Lil Pump dress like Stop Making Sense extras and trail after Givens, who fires off a…

In what we can only assume was a courtly, measured affair of shared admiration, light ribaldry, and only the gentlest of flirtations between woo-er and woo-ee, Pitchfork reports that Kanye West has finally agreed to help the professional masturbation facilitators at PornHub creatively direct their first annual awards…

In the past few weeks Kanye West has set out on something like an image rehabilitation tour. Step one was to apologize (kinda, mostly, sort of) for that whole “slavery was a choice” thing. With that out of the way Kanye was free to move on to steps two and three: wearing very small sandals, and following that up by…

There are few means of promotion more coveted than the celebrity endorsement. As we’ve seen time and again, a Beyoncé lyric can revitalize a fledging brand, while a rebuke from a Jenner can crater a company’s stock. When Kanye West unabashedly flew his freak flag for Pornhub on Jimmy Kimmel last month, the streamer…

Kanye West has had an unpleasantly eventful 2018, managing to piss off vast swathes of the American people—first by seeming to embrace Donald Trump as some kind of (far more dangerous) fellow provocateur, and then by giving a TMZ interview in which he said that “400 years of slavery” “sounds like a choice” to him.…
