NY Mag.com is saying Yeezy ganked a small piece from them for his blog:

Look, we certainly know how much work goes into maintaining a blog that updates daily — and we’re not even platinum-selling hip-hop superstars with demanding schedules that include recording albums, smashing cameras, and hiring naked ladies to stand around at our listening parties — but that’s no excuse for trying to pass off someone else’s words as your own. Which is precisely why we were so disappointed to learn that Kanye West, in a post on model Jourdan Dunn, has egregiously lifted an entire biographical timeline on Dunn from our Website without giving credit. Now, Kanye’s is still indisputably the world’s greatest blog — on the Internet or elsewhere — but this simply will not stand. We can only hope that this post was not also plagiarized from somewhere.

They are putting him on blast for the publicity rather than trying to contact him and resolve it. That is out of pocket. What do you Bossipers think??

We better source these hoes for that quote before they start crying and ish…SMH

    This is retarded! Like ya’ll said they could have went to Ye without putting his buisness in the street.

    I can’t standy Kanye’s personality so I’m going to have to side with NYmag on this one.

  • BumbaclotBlogger

    Ye’ stole his whole blogger style from NerdwithSwag.com lol.

    If someone took some info from Kanye’s blog, he would make it known to EVERYBODY that they stole his comments. I don’t think HE would make an attempt to settle things quietly without a public rant. We all learned in school about plagarism. Don’t do it!

  • memchee

    simple way of taking credit for their own work…….

  • dandyli0n

    while there could have been a quieter way to resolve this situation, the Little Guy needs to stand up for himself. just because he’s kanye west, he expected that nobody would call him out on that? if i plagiarized a paper like that in my university program, i would unceremoniously dropped–no questions asked..

    should yeezy get MORE special treatment on top of all his usual celeb status??

    Kind of odd since Kanye claims to be a “genius” whose writing and beat producing abilities make him better than the rest…

    but homie cant write a blog?!

    To top it off, isnt he one of the first people to call someone out if he feels they are copying him?

  • lol

    He is very artistic, he probably just quoted them and they are doing this for publicity. I checked they site, it is not one you would do either or with.

    Hmm . . . what is this guy, a 38-regular? That’s a very nice sportscoat. Bold patterns always look good on littler fellas.
