Kanye West should be on top of his game. Named #4 on MTV News' list of Hottest MCs, the 32-year-old rapper has a bald beauty on his arm, stacks galore, and is arguably one of the best producers of all time. What did Jay-Z call him on Bill Maher? Oh yeah, a genius!
But the Taylor Swift fiasco started a downward spiral that even we couldn't have anticipated. After a round of press apologies, backing out of his Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga, and avoiding this past weekend's BET Hip Hop Awards (in which he lead the pack with 9 nominations), it seems Ye is finally taking a much needed professional break.
According to Hip Hop Wired, Kanye is going on a religious retreat to reassess his life at Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, a small coastal town in South India. Ye attributes his misdirection to the untimely death of his mother, Donda West, in 2007, to whom his latest album, "808s and Heartbreak," is largely attributed.

Con estos dos, we can always expect the unexpected. And today that means that Kanye West and Lady Gaga have managed to put an abrupt stop to all the hype about their upcoming "Fame Kills" concert tour... because it ain't gonna happen. Not now anyways.
Looks like the chief interrupter, Mr. West, is still suffering from a bad case of negative publicity.
Well folks, for those of you who were looking forward to the guaranteed circus sensation that would have been a Kanye/Gaga concert tour... lo sentimos mucho. Let's keep our fingers crossed for next year! [MTV News]
Looks like Kanye West better not even think of messing with Calle 13.
In response to Kanye's infamous interruption of Taylor Swift's speech at this year's VMA's, Calle 13 posted this on Twitter:
"Kanye West nunca me quitaría el microfono por que le rompa la cara de mamao que tiene. jejeje.. enserio. no es chiste."
Ouch! Them sounds like fighting words!! We'll take Calle 13 on our side any day of the week!
