Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music Collective has one of the strongest line-ups in today’s rap game and therefore we are not surprised that Complex Magazine gave them their upcoming August/September 2012 issue cover. The cover features Kanye, Kid Cudi, Common, Pusha T, Big Sean, John Legend, 2 Chainz, and Q-Tip, which was captured by Nabil, a frequent creative collaborator of Kanye West. G.O.O.D. Music’s debut album Cruel Summer is dropping on September 7, 2012, so timing for this cover was perfect. The issue hits newsstands on August 7th, exactly one month ahead of the album. #TOOILL -kc

air yeezy push back... :( fuckkkk that!!!

We have checked in with our Nike sources on the release of the Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneaker. With an expected release date in early April, at least for one of the two colorways that have surfaced so far, people had already started camping out 5 weeks in advance. We have bad news for those folks, as the official release date for the sneaker has now been pushed back to early June 2012.

Not only does it look like the sneaker will release somewhere around June 10th, Nike has also decided to release both colorways, the Wolf Grey and the Black one, on the same day. That is at least what we heard now. Both colors releasing on the same day of course changes everything as most likely no retailer will be getting both – who can stand in line at two stores at the same time? Nobody! FUCKKKKK THAT!
