Kanye West Launching “Got Bars” Program For Chicago’s Youth

The Yeezus rapper recently launched Donda’s House, a nonprofit in memory of his mother Dr. Donda West. The organization is joining forces with Chicago’s Ark of St. Sabina for “Got Bars” Music Writing & Fitness Program.

Fellow rapper Rhymefest is the program’s assistant director.

“I am so happy to launch “Got Bars” to honor Kanye West’s mother’s memory and to fulfill one of my Aldermanic campaign goals. “Got Bars” will change our youth musically, get them healthy and keep them busy in a creative, peaceful environment. I know it will be an even stronger program because of our partnership with the ARK of St. Sabina,” said Rhymefest in a press release.

The ARK is a community youth center located on the St. Sabina campus in Chicago. It was created to “nurture and develop the gifts, skills, and spirit of community youth” and to provide a safe environment.

“Got Bars” will service participants between the ages of 15 and 24.

“My mom spent her life as an educator and I am happy that Donda’s House can pick up her torch and honor her life’s mission,” said Kanye West.

Applications are being accepted through Friday, August 2, 2013. Apply on DondasHouse.com.

Jay Z, Madonna and Timberlake Are NOT Joining Boycott Against Florida

Representatives for Madonna, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake and several other stars have strongly denied reports suggesting the musicians were joining Stevie Wonder in his boycott of the state of Florida following the George Zimmerman verdict.
According to a list that surfaced on music blog American Urban Radio Networks, the 63-year-old singer enlisted several star performers, including Kanye West and the Rolling Stones, to join him in his refusal to play in Florida until the state rectifies its Stand Your Ground Law.
The report, which was picked up by MSN, the Huffington Post and the Wrap, claimed Rod Stewart, Usher and Rihanna were also boycotting the state.
“I don’t know where this list came from,” one rep said.
Wonder made headlines last week when he announced at his concert in Quebec City, “I decided today that until the Stand Your Ground law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again.”
“As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world,” he added.
Zimmerman’s acquittal last week in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin sparked outrage across the country, and Wonder was one of the few entertainers to take a stand.
The American Urban Radio Networks site, which cited individuals close to Wonder’s camp in its story, could not be reached for comment.

Kanye West rants "I ain't no motherf*king celebrity"

"One thing about me. I'm the worst kinda, worst kinda, worst kinda celebrity...because all I do is make real music. All I do is sit in the studio and make real, real sh-t. and that's it. That's motherfu-king it. That's motherfu-king it. So I don't want nobody trying to run up on me with no cameras, trying to sell pictures and sh-t to magazines, asking me no dumbass questions. throwing me off of my focus and sh-t. Harassing you all motherfu-king day. I ain't no motherfu-king celebrity..."

"[I had a friend ask me, 'Are you gonna go on] SNL and you're going to do like a skit about the paparazzi and sh-t and like humanize yourself?' I ain't here to apologize to no motherfu-kers man. It ain't about me humanizing myself. At what point did I become unhuman where I had to turn myself back? Or maybe i was demonized. Or maybe I was treated inhumane and not human in that kind of situation.

"I ain't no motherfu-king celebrity. I ain't running for office. I ain't kissing nobody's motherfu-king babies. I drop your baby and you sue me and sh-t. I'm trying to make some music that inspires people to be the best they can be. I don't want nobody to ask NOTHING ELSE OF ME. Don't ask nothing else of me. Motherfu-kers chasing you down 'bout to make you crash and sh-t. And all they want is one nigga to laugh and sh-t. Hell nah I ain't doing no motherfu-king SNL skits, this my goddamn life. This ain't no motherfu-king joke. That's it. Stop that sh-t right there."

Kanye West Documentay made by a fan

"My first intention was to make like a 10 minute video with Kanye quotes and such, but I had so much material so I decided to make it a tad longer. The closest I could get to a real documentary. (We really need one in all honesty).

My goal was to capture something from every solo album, and the video is basically chronological. Starting with CD and ending with MBDTF.

I entitled it Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings (I know that’s not the actual line in Eyes Closed), because I feel like that sums up Kanye’s career – The outsider. The misunderstood genius.

This took me 5000 hours to make so please be kind…"-James Workman
