Chain Reaction: A History of Kanye West’s Greatest Chains


Last Sunday, we were amped to catch the BET Awards because we knew there would be some fuckery Kanye West would open the show by performing his latest banger, “Power.” And although ’Ye moved mountains in a stellar performance, there was one thing that had us trippin’: his big-ass Horus chain, which embodied egomania in the most colorful way we could imagine. So in honor of Mr. West’s instant classic, here’s Chain Reaction: A History of Kanye West’s Greatest Chains. They don’t call him the Louis Vuitton Don for nothing!

**NEW MUSIC** Rick Ross & Kanye West - Live Fast, Die Young


The long awaited Kanye West & Rick Ross collaboration is finally here. The Louis Vuitton Don and the Teflon Don have hooked up for "Live Fast, Die Young,"the latest single off of Rick Ross' upcoming album Teflon Don (in stores July 20). The track, which is produced by Kanye, sees both Ross and Yeezy on the top of their game, spitting some pretty serious bars. The track is about celebrating success and living for the moment. Rick Ross spits "Ice insured,f*ck life insurance/I live for the moment and put a bullet on that." Kanye is just one the many huge guest appearances on Teflon Don (Drake, Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, Gucci Mane, & Jadakiss are among the other guests), which is shaping up to be one of the hottest albums of the year.
