No doubt, fans of both Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z were excited to learn about the pair's upcoming "Legends of the Summer" tour, but a recent concert tirade from Kanye West suggests he might not be heading out to check out any of the tag-team dates.
Earlier this evening (February 23) at a concert in London, the G.O.O.D. music mogul sounded off on Timberlake's recent Jigga-assisted "Suit & Tie" single, making it well known that he's not a fan of the soul-pop track.
"I got love for Hov, but I ain't fucking with that 'Suit & Tie'," he said during the near 10-minute speech, which also found him critiquing the music industry ("Remind me again why we in this shit?"), tie-in sponsorships ("So, you gonna help me put on a better show, corporations?"), re-establishing his distaste for the Grammys and more.

"Legends of the Summer," meanwhile, kicks off July 17 at Toronto's Rogers Centre, and will also hit Vancouver's BC Place on July 31. You can check the rest of the schedule here.
From the mouth of Kanye:
Creativity fuels everything. I hate business people. People get at me and say, 'What kind of business can it do? What type of business are you doing? What's the numbers? How much did you sell? What's the radio spins? How much shampoo can you sell with yo face on it and shit?' (Sings) Remind me again why we in this shit? Remind me again why we in this shit? It's gotta be more than just to get rich. Since when was making music about getting rich? Since when was making art about getting rich?
And I know it's easy for me to say this. And having money's not everything. And having it is. Remind me again why we in this shit? Remind me again why the Grammys can suck my dick? Remind me again who's the original Superfly? I got love for Hov, but I aint fucking with that "Suit & Tie." Remind me again why we in this shit? Remind me again why we in this shit? Every n***er trying to get rich. And every rapper always rapping about fucking someone else. Bitch. Remind me why we in this shit? Remind me why we in this shit? Why the Grammys can suck my dick? Suck my dick. Bitch.
And every motherfucking sponsorship. They trying to put their logos on every concert and shit. For the meet and greet, you gotta meet the execs and their daughters. And they'll show you what they just bought her. Remind me why we in this shit? Real n***as don't live too long in this shit! Real n***as don't live too long in this shit! Real n***as don't live too long in this shit! Real n***as don't live too long in this shit! Real n***as don't live too long in this shit! Real n***as don't live too long in this shit! They saying you coming off too strong in this shit. They always sayin' what I'm doing wrong in this shit! Well, I don't give a fuck about anything! Well, I don't give a fuck about anything! Remind me why we in this shit? I lost my motherfucking mom!
Talking bout your comments, I could give a fuck about your comments. Cause we all gonna day some day, and I'm live my life my way! So, you gonna help me put on a better show, corporations? Can you please support me? Please? Me, Kanye West. I swear I'm a nice leader now. I swear I'll put the pink polo back on. I swear to you. Please. Just for three million dollars. I need it so bad. I need a pool in my backyard! So I'll tell all my fans your shit is cool. And if they believe in me, then they'll also believe in you.
Did we get the cheque yet? I gotta call the business manager. Did the corporations send the check? What is my public rating? Are people liking me again? Enough to get some money from the corporations? They forgot about the whole Beyonce thing, right? Cool. Is it OK now? Remind me why we in this shit? Remind me why we in this shit.
