Young Chop Says Kanye West Is Manipulating Chicago Artists

Young Chop has taken exception to Kanye West's work ever since he remixed the Young Chop-produced hit "I Don't Like" back in 2012. Chop has gone on to publicly speak out against 'Ye--most recently during an interview with VICE on Beats 1 Radio--and now the producer is blasting his fellow native Chicagoan for using young artists for his own benefit. In a string of Instagram posts, Chop makes it clear that he has no love for 'Ye saying, "[Kanye] use you, try to soak up everything niggas know, get you to write songs for him and then don't call you after that. Fuck him! Say for instance, like, 'Don't Like' and my boy Vic Mensa. He gonna make it seem like he put them on. And he really fuckin' didn't. Niggas started rom the bottom."

In a 2012 interview with XXL, Chop said that he felt disrespected that Kanye re-did "I Don't Like" without first consulting him. "I just felt disrespected ’cause I didn’t even hear the song before it dropped, and I kept telling them that I wanna hear the song,” Chop said of the remix, which featured not only Kanye and Keef, but also Big Sean, Pusha T and Jadakiss. “I ain’t know the song was changed over like that. Keef explained in another interview [that] we didn’t hear the song. And then I’m hearing the song and there’s different sounds in the beat, it don’t even sound like the real beat. It sounded like a rock star beat, and that’s not how I do it. That’s not my sound. [Kanye] should have called me and asked me, ‘Ayo Chop, can I do this? Can I do that?’ But no. I didn’t hear nothing from him. I never talked to him."
