1. MSG Rants - Between his two night run at MSG, Kanye West had a lot on his mind and a little time to get his feelings off of his chest. He discussed his differences with Nike the first night and the second night, he went for Lenny Kravitz (who was in the audience) after seeing The Hunger Games by saying:"But the only difference between me and Lenny Kravitz is I turned up on these [racial slur]. I don’t give a [expletive] about looking cool or being cool. And this is no disrespect to Lenny."Why all of this? Well, Kanye prefaced it by saying that when he went to Paris to take on different artforms, he was often compared to the paths Lenny took years before, but that he didn't want to be shut down at all. Oh, and rumor has it that he didn't know that Kravitz was in the audience watching which makes it more interesting.(Picture by: Blayze / Splash News)

Kanye West vs. Ricky Spicer - The work of a 12-year-old singer helped Kanye West climb the Billboard charts with his single "Bound 2." Now that child performer is claiming that he never authorized the use of his voice on the song. Ricky Spicer, now 56-years-old, has filed a lawsuit against West claiming that the uncleared sample came from the 1970s song "Bound" by The Ponderosa Twins plus One. (Photo: Courtesy of UMG)

2. On The "Bound 2" Video - As if mentioning The Hunger Games in concert wasn't enough, Kanye West went back to it to explain the aesthetic of the "Bound 2" video which has gotten negative reviews from fans and media alike. Here's what he told Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club about it:  "I wanted [Bound 2] to look as phony as possible. I wanted the cloud to go in one direction, the mountains to go in one direction, the horses to go over there. 'Cause I want to show you that this is the Hunger Games. I want to show you that this is the type of imagery that has been presented to all of us, and the only difference is a black dude in the middle of it."  (Photo: Courtesy of UMG)

3. Kanye Vs. Nike - Those super smooth, highly anticipated "Red October" sneakers never came out. We all know that the Yeezy's jumped over the Jump Man, but we didn't know why his latest installment in the collaborative effort with Nike never came out until he discussed it on the Angie Martinez Show on HOT 97  "Nike told me, 'We can't give you royalties because you're not a professional athlete.' I told them, 'I go to the Garden and play one on no one. I'm a performance athlete."    (Photo by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images)

Kanye West - According to Yeezus, donning a Confederate flag is a way of reclaiming the symbol as a "New [Conscious] Slave." Or you could go with some leather jogging pants.(Photo: Marc Piasecki/FilmMagic/Getty Images)

4. Showdown With Sway - Sway and Kanye West have been friends for a while, and some of the first introductions that music had to Kanye were by the legendary VJ/DJ. Yesterday, though, things got heated on Sway's Sirius XM show, Sway In the Morning and Kanye let his passion cloud his judgment (and volume) for about three minutes. When Sway asked him about why he doesn't just go ahead and do his fashion thing on his own, Kanye responded with this:"YOU AIN'T GOT THE ANSWERS SWAY!"The two went back and forth for three minutes, and while keeping his professional hat on, Sway got Kanye to do a few things. He got him to actually answer the question, calm down and he also made it clear that he would not be disrespected. It should also be noted that Kanye said that his creative collective DONDA is the NBA of creativity, and that he's been this way since "age zero." ...

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West - Kimye is arguably the busiest couple on the planet, between their blossoming businesses, world tours, media appearances and, of course, raising their daughter, North West. For the happily engaged couple, we'd take a few things off their to-do list and gift them an A-list wedding planner to turn out their nuptials in style. (Photo:  Michael Buckner/WireImage)

5. Sweet Love - When it comes to love, Kanye West is going to ride for Kim Kardashian. The love is so real that he said this on Angie Martinez's show two days ago:"All barber shops, fashion designers, architects, corner stores, Wall Street, all over the world: Y’all acting like this ain’t the most beautiful woman of all time! I’m talkin’, like, arguably of human existence — the top 10 of human existence.” (Photo by Michael Buckner/WireImage)
