Louis Vuitton has long been the rapper’s label of choice - indeed it was once rumoured that when hip-hop WAG (and now Phat Fashions creative director) Kimora Simmons was still married to Def Jam record label founder Russell she was the French house’s biggest customer. So it makes sense that it has now teamed up with Kanye West to bring out a line of shoes. The relationship should have come as no surprise as, in his own words (from “Last Call” with Jay-Z) he’s “Kan, the Louis Vuitton don”. The Kanye West collection will consist of three designs: classic trainers called Don’s; high tops called Tour; and Mr Hudson, which are based on boat shoes…
When GQ meets up with West in the Louis Vuitton showroom in Paris, all cream carpets and panoramic views down the Seine to the Eiffel Tower, it appears that he is almost as excited by this project as he is by shifting millions of records around the world. Proof of this comes when I am ushered into the side room that contains all West’s shoes, where he reviews his designs in private. Bear in mind that this is the man who, for the next week, is never seen surrounded by less than four people…
As a man who takes his footwear seriously, West is keen that I try on all his designs after himself; he takes the opportunity to see what they look like on someone else’s feet as well as his own. The three lines he finally decided upon are the result of a whole pile of prototypes, which he constantly examines minutely - you can tell he found it hard to be limited to just a trio of choices. While picking up and putting down a series of different shapes and colours of trainers, West discusses every tiny detail of the shoes, though for a performer he is surprisingly shy and speaks very quietly - rarely catching your eye.
But he is more than happy with the final three, particularly with his hip-hop take on a boat shoe. And when he attends the Louis Vuitton catwalk show later that week he is wearing a bright-red version of the “Don’s”. To rhyme with “Vuit-ton’s”, of course.

CHRIS BROWN ROCKS THE MIC WITH WEEZY!
Chris Brown made a surprise appearance during the Young Money tour Sunday night in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Chris took the stage with Lil Wayne and sang Drake’s lines from “Every Girl.” (As you know, Drake tore a ligament in his knee and has been forced to drop out of the tour.) Chris also paid tribute to Michael Jackson by hitting some of his signature moves – including the moonwalk – while “Billie Jean” blasted over the speakers. Weezy told the crowd to the crowd to make some noise for “the new Michael.”
People love to talk about lyrics: punchlines, puns, double meanings, you name it. And no one is as fond of his own cleverness as one Shawn Carter. To that end, Jiggaman has reportedly inked a deal to write a book called Decoded, wherein he delves into his own inexhaustible arsenal of wit and wordplay to explain what he meant by many of his favorite lines. “I’m gonna pick the select ones,” he told a radio DJ, “all the double entendres and things that people may have missed or may have gotten and want confirmation on it.” Forgive us if we were a little skeptical at first, but it just didn’t sound like anything we’d want to shell out $24.95 for ($9.95 for the Kindle edition—holla at us, Steve Bezos!). But as with so many times before, it turned out that we were wrong. We got a look at a preview of Decoded, and the shit is absolute fire! If you thought you knew what was going through Jay’s mind when he penned his joints (without the pen), you had no idea. Even his not-so-incredible tracks are testament to his penchant for cryptic allusion and restless philosophical examination. Don’t believe us? Peep the excerpt below* to see the thought process behind his 2003 hit “Change Clothes.” And you thought it was just about girls and brand names…
And here’s one of Jay’s interpretations:
Yeah ma, your dude is back, Maybach coupe is back
Jay Says: [Funny story: what I actually said was "May McCoo is back"--you know, because I've always been a huge Marilyn McCoo fan. But people got it twisted, and then I had to buy a fucking $400,000 car because of it.]

MR HUDSON [FEAT KANYE WEST] - SUPERNOVA from MrHudson on Vimeo.
Based on preliminary sales numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, the entire top nine positions on Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog Albums chart will house Jackson-related titles when the tally is released in the early morning on Wednesday, July 1. Nielsen SoundScan’s sales tracking week ended at the close of business on Sunday (June 28) night.
The King of Pop’s “Number Ones” will fittingly lead the pack at No. 1 with 108,000 copies (an increase of 2,340%) while “The Essential Michael Jackson” and “Thriller” are in the Nos. 2 and 3 slots with 102,000 and 101,000, respectively. Last week, “Number Ones” was the only Jackson title on the chart, at No. 20 with 4,000 copies; both “Essential” and “Thriller” re-enter the tally this week.
