Kanye West Invokes Prince In Battle To Gain His Master Tapes

Yeezy goes on a social media spree...

*Kanye West* has invoked Prince in a battle to gain his master tapes.

Yeezy has been using social media frequently this week, seemingly chafing at the limits of his major label deal.

Referring to himself as "the new Moses" he also branded both the major label system and the NBA as "modern day slave ships".

A few hours ago Kanye West expanded on this, and revealed that a battle for his master tapes lay at the centre of his troubles.



The artist deserve to own our masters ... artist are starving without tours ... Ima go get our masters ... for all artist ... pray for me

When you sign a music deal you sign away your rights. Without the masters you can’t do anything with your own music. Someone else controls where it’s played and when it’s played. Artists have nothing accept the fame, touring and merch
