Back in January Kanye West filed a lawsuit against EMI after they refused to sell him his publishing [click here if you missed that].
Now new details from the lawsuit show Yeezy is contractually obligated to make music for EMI for the rest of his life...
The Hollywood Reporter got their hands on the lawsuit and a portion of Kanye's recording contract with EMI reads,
“You (Mr. West) hereby represent and warrant that to [EMI] that You will, throughout the Term as extended by this Modification, remain actively involved in writing, recording and producing Compositions and Major Label Albums, as Your principle occupation. At no time during the Term will you seek to retire as a songwriter, recording artist or producer or take any extended hiatus during which you are not actively pursuing Your musical career in the same basic manner as You have pursued such career to date. (The preceding representation shall not be deemed to prevent You from taking a vacation of limited duration.)”So when Kanye accused Black people of choosing to remain slaves for 400 years [click here if you missed that], he was talking about himself. Got it.
