Tuesday night at the listening and visual experience for his upcoming album, Graduation, Kanye West was kind enough to field some questions from the crowd. But while he was willing to go into great detail about the tracks on the album there were some questions that he politely declined to answer. His upcoming HBO show? Nope, he'd rather just talk about the music. His sneakers? Hell no, he's not letting that cat out of the bag!
Too bad some crafty little sneakerhead has revealed Ye's big secret.
The shoes that were rumored to be the Nike Marty McFly's from Back to the Future II are not Nikes at all. They are Ato Matsumotos and they come in three colorways - red, black and white. For now, they're only available in Japan.
On another note, Pharrell recently released the look for the Billionaire Boys Club season five. If you haven't already seen it, you can check it out here.

Ok you all must have heard that Kanye's graduation, has LEAKED, downloaded the album and It really is not that good, College Drop Out and Late Registration are really way better than Graduation, do not fall for the Hype...the album has nice production, it sounds good but it really is not better than his previous effort, if anything, kanye who used to be a little deep, actually sounds a lot shallow on this, maybe I have to listen to the album a lot longer this is just my opinion on the first listen. Right now though my Favorite track on the CD is Champion.

Yo, alot of you niggas are overly homophobic if you'll "beat somebody's ass" for wearing colorful clothes. Beating ass sounds gay anyway, no one says that anymore. And who the fuck represents some place called "FUNKYTOWN, TEXAS". You should look in the mirror "HENRY".

SO WHEN IS THIS SITE GONNA ADMIT THAT THE CURTIS ALBUM SOUNDS WAY BETTER THAN GRADUATION EVER SINCE THE PREVIEWS CAME OUT EARLIER THIS WEEK OF THE TWO ALBUMS EVEN THE HATERS GOT TO ADMIT THAT THE CURTIS ALBUM SOUNDS WAY BETTER. BY THE WAY THE CURTIS ALBUM GOT 4.5 MICS AND KANYE GRADUATION ONLY GOT 3 IN THE SOURCE SO EVEN THE CRITICS ARE PICKING THE CURTIS ALBUM OVER GRADUATION. THE ONLY SONGS ON THE GRADUATION WORTH LISTENEING TO ARE STRONGER AND CANT TELL ME NOTHING THE REST IS WHATEVER NOTHING SPECIAL AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DISSAPOINTED LIKE ME 4 SURE KANYE NEEDS TO STICK TO PRODUCEING WHERE HE IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME AND NOT RAPPING I ADMIT HIS FIRST 2 ALBUMS ARE FIRE BUT THIS IS NOT I WAS GONNA BUY BOTH ON SEPT 11 BUT SINCE I ALREADY GOT STRONGER AND CANT TELL ME NOTHING ON CD I THINK ILL PASS I GOT ENOUGH WEED PLATES ALREADY

that down south mexican says nigga but the faggot isnt black, and he aint from new york or the east coast, or even from L.A./bay area. and fort worth is soft as hell, i been out there so you must be believing your own hype. funky town has to be the gayest nickname anyone could ever bestow on a city. EVER. and its in texas no less. so shut up with that you cocksucker, theres ogs in my own neighborhood up the block who'll put in work on your ass - big deal. and thats out here in L.A., the real ese's not some copycats. faggot.

I come back to see what you niggas talking about, and ya'll still whining about "Funkytown". For real, stop being keyboard g's. You dudes sound soft. And one dude already said Fort Worth is soft and I agree. "Funkytown" ain't a good look for Texas. and for the record, no, I wouldn't wear Kanye West's shoes, and Pharrell can jump off a bridge for them 90 dollar t-shirts and shit. And do all niggas in Faggottown, Texas type in all caps? You computer illiterate motherfuckas.

I read an article in freakersneaker magazine and they showed those marty mcflys nikes and since they're one of kind they're worth about 20+ grand, so if kanye wants a pair he is looking to spend 25 gs, im pretty sure he can afford them but damn thats a shit load of money
