The talented "Candy Shop" songwriter raps these lines in a new song:

It's the return of the heartless monster/ I should give you n***z a whole R&B record/ 808s and my heart's broken/ I hate all these fuckers with the rainbow colours on

And today, posted the following video to his website in an attempt to diss Kanye...

From RollingStone.com:

When Kanye released 808s & Heartbreak, he blogged that 50 Cent would love it, but on the radio 50 finally responded by saying the album was “an R&B record.” “I’m surprised he got away with it,” 50 said. “That album is supposed to be a brick.” 50 also mocked Kanye’s singing skills. 50 had equally harsh words for Lil Wayne, saying the Carter III rapper was a “junkie” and a “little baby.” “[Wayne] had a great album,” he said, “but he makes a lot of records and I think he’s gonna exhaust the public with his sound. He’s a talented artist, but if you put us in a space where we’re in competition, my consistency will break his neck.” Fiddy then dared — almost pleaded — for both rappers to respond, probably in an attempt to keep his name in the papers and blogs before Self Destruct is released.

One of the songs from the EP - Bounce - is not only produced and featured by Kanye, but also contains an iconic line from the beginning of the first verse of "Jesus Walks".

"You know what the Midwest is?  Young & Restless.  Where restless niggas might snatch your necklace and next these niggas might jack your Lexus."

While the streets are abuzz with Kanye's video leak of the "Jockin Jay-Z" intro... Press Play, Fashion Forward has some more information for you on this highly anticipated, top-secret project.

+ Kanye will indeed be producing most, if not all, of the album. Remember back in the day when an artist would do a whole album with one producer for cohesiveness? Think classic Snoop or Jeru with Primo... and fast forward it to 2008.

+ Jay will be leaking the finished version of "Jockin" as soon as he adds a new 3rd verse to the song.

+ Tracks to look for include the aforementioned "Jockin' Jay-Z" and a new track entitled "Victory" that the rumor mill says is simply amazing.

Kanye West has joined the roster of contributors to Lil Wayne's long-in-the-works album "Tha Carter III," tentatively due in May via Cash Money/Universal.

The rapper broke the news this week during an interview with BBC Radio DJ Semtex, saying West appears on three tracks and that Swizz Beatz, Jim Jonson and Deezle also appear.

"I hope it sells well," Wayne said of the album. "I never [boast] because I know you can come out and not sell [one] record. I put my all into it, it's me on a platter so if you don't like it, then you don't like me."
