Kanye West and Jay-Z Are Back On Speaking Terms
Jay-Z says "there's genuine love there" as he reveals the rappers are back in touch...
There was a time not so long ago when Jay-Z and Kanye West ruled the music industry together but their close relationship came falling apart last year.
Kanye revealed that their relationship was not as strong as it once was during an onstage rant last year where he blasted Jay-Z, and his wife Beyoncé, which obviously did not go down well.
However, Jay-Z has said that they are back in touch after the rough patch and says "there's genuine love there."
Ball so hard, motherfuckers wanna fine me
So I ball so hard, motherfuckers wanna fine me
But first niggas gotta find me
What's fifty grand to a motherfucker like me?
Can you please remind me?
(Ball so hard) this shit crazy
Y'all don't know that don't shit faze me
The Nets could go 0 for 82
And I look at you like this shit gravy
(Ball so hard) this shit weird
We ain't even 'posed to be here
(Ball so hard) but since we here
It's only right that we'd be fair
Psycho, I'm liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
(Ball so hard)
Got a broke clock
Rollies that don't tick-tock
Audemars that's losing time
Hidden behind all these big rocks
(B-Ball so hard) I'm shocked too
I'm supposed to be locked up too
You escaped what I've escaped
You'd be in Paris getting fucked up too
(B-Ball so hard) let's get faded
Le Meurice for like six days
Gold bottles, scold models
Spillin' Ace on my sick J's
(Ball so hard) bitch, behave
Just might let you meet Ye
Chi-towns D. Rose
I'm moving the Nets, BK
Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me
That shit cray, that shit cray, that shit cray
B-Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me
That shit cray, that shit cray, that shit cray
She said, "Ye, can we get married at the mall?"
I said, "Look, you need to crawl 'fore you ball"
Come and meet me in the bathroom stall
And show me why you deserve to have it all
(Ball so hard) that shit cray, ain't it Jay?
(B-Ball so hard) what she order, fish fillet?
(B-Ball so hard) your whip so cold, this old thing?
(Ball so hard) act like you'll never be around motherfuckers like this again
Bougie girl, grab her hand
Fuck that bitch, she don't wanna dance
Excuse my French, but I'm in France, ahah, I'm just sayin'
Prince William's ain't do it right if you ask me
Cause I was him, I would have (married Kate and Ashley)
What's Gucci, my nigga? What's Louis, my killer?
What's drugs, my dealer? What's that jacket, Margiela?
Doctors say I'm the illest
'Cause I'm suffering from realness
Got my niggas in Paris and they going gorillas, huh
I don't even know what that means
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative
No, it's not, it's gross
Gets the people going
Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me
B-Ball so hard motherfuckers wanna fine me
You are now watching the throne
Don't let me get in my zone
Don't let me get in my zone
Don't let me get in my zone
These other niggas is lyin'
Actin' like the summer ain't mine
I got that hot bitch in my home
You know how many hot bitches I own?
Don't let me get in my zone
Don't let me get in my zone
Don't let me get in my zone
Don't let me get in my zone
The stars is in the building
They hands is to the ceiling
I know I'm 'bout to kill it
How you know? I got that feeling
You are now watching the throne
Don't let me into my zone
Don't let me into my zone
I'm definitely in my zone
In the new interview for The New York Times, he said he spoke to "Kanye the other day, just to tell him, like, he's my brother. I love Kanye. I do. It's a complicated relationship with us."
"I've always been like his big brother. And we're both entertainers. It's always been like a little underlying competition with your big brother [...] there's like a lot of other factors that play in it. But it's gonna, we gonna always be good."
The two rappers topped the charts worldwide with their collaborative album Watch The Throne back in 2011, which gave us the club staple 'N****s In Paris', and future collaborations could again be possible once they've worked on their friendship.
"There's gonna be complications in the relationship that we have to get through. And the only way to get through that is we sit down and have a dialogue," he says. "We just need to speak about it. But there's genuine love there."
And what does the future hold for The Throne? Well, "In the long relationship, you know, hopefully when we're 89 we look at this six months or whatever time and we laugh at that."
This makes us so, so happy!
