Sway and Kanye west

As discussions continue to play out over MTV’s yearly controversial Hottest MC’s List, Sway Calloway took the time to respond to Kanye’s recent comments made in regards to his current #7 spot.

Obviously annoyed, Kanye called HOT 97’s DJ Enuff and said, “I couldn’t believe it.  I gave Sway his first TV.  He came over to my crib in Newark, NJ.  I was living in Newark doing beats for Jay and Beans and all them and I was getting a new TV and I gave Sway his first TV….really I didn’t really want to even like call to talk about the #7 list.  I Just want to tell everybody that I gave Sway his first TV…and he needs to remember that.”

Sway recently took to his morning show Sway In The Morning on Shade 45 and said, “We made a master list, then we started debating.  Not everybody on the table agreed with every number of artist…whether you average it out or you do the voting….this is where it comes…this is our list….that’s why it’s only people from MTV.”  Be sure to tune in today at 4 p.m. EST. to Sway’s Rap Fix show streamed live at RapFix.MTV.com to catch a glimpse of Kanye’s previous TV that will sit in and co-host the show alongside Sway.  Special guests today will include Lil Kim, Talib Kweli and of course Ye’s old TV.

AUDIO: Lil Wayne Apologizes to Lebron James & Miami

Posted by N/A on

Tonight Weezy phoned into radio station 99 JAMZ in Miami to speak on his recent comments during a verbal rant over of All-Star weekend about Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Dwayne “shewade” Wade, the NBA, and the Miami Heat organization   Weezy claims that in fact he and Lebron are actually good friends and that he has some sort of a close relationship with the King’s mother.  Make no mistake, Wayne makes it very clear that he has no remorse for his actions at his party, doesn’t apologize to Chris Bosh’s wife, and only wishes for the public to disregard his “fuck Lebron” comment.  Needless to say this entire interview over the phone comes off a bit awkward and confusing.
