KANYE VISUALIZES DRAKE MIXTAPE

Kanye West continues to troll anyone who will listen about his various wants (design for IKEA) and needs (impromptu meetings). So it should be of little surprise that Yeezy went onstage at Drake's headlining set at his OVO Fest in Toronto this Monday night (8/1) and put a new wish out there into the universe—a collaborative album with the 6God himself, the current reigning champion of the album charts for the last eleven + weeks.

But Kanye didn't just forget that Drake gets a giant check to work with Apple Music, and him being installed as a "partner" at Tidal with big brother Hov complicates things. Which got even more dicey after his ninth-hour exit out of Apple negotiations for the exclusive streaming debut of Pablo and ultimately putting it on Tidal, while defiantly assuring everyone in the world his album would "never never be on Apple."

Meanwhile, Apple Music has been flexing its considerable marketing muscles and deep pockets to support a sponsored team of superstars—don't forget the music service is Presenting Drake's Summer Sixteen Tour, which OVO Fest was a part of— and Yeezy must be feeling some teeny pangs of regret. To quote Kanye TO Kanye: Oh you mad, huh?

All the wishing in the world won't change the dynamics of Drake's arrangement. But clearly Kanye's is back open to negotiation now. So maybe we'll get this Kanye/Drake mixtape someday. As an Apple Exclusive. no doubt.
