Kanye shows his Bieber fever

Rapper Kanye West made good on his promise to do something with Canadian pop star Justin Bieber. West released a remix on his blog yesterday (August 30) of Bieber’s hit song Runaway Love, off his multi-platinum album My World 2.0.

The remix features Kanye West and Wu-Tang Clan legend Raekwon taking turns rhyming and, of course, vocals by the young Bieber.

It all started on Twitter when Kanye West wrote "Listening to @JustinBieber Run Away love. I love Sunday mornings in the crib."

Justin Bieber caught the post and messages filled with admiration went back and forth. West ended up suggesting: "Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon."

The Canadian teen was starstruck, to say the least: "Me, u, and the chef 2gether (sic) on a song = EPIC. Haha. Might sound crazy 2 u (sic) but even having this convo is living the dream."

Kanye West samples Wu-Tang Clan’s 1993 breakout track Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta F**k Wit in the new remix. West also promises to release a new track every Friday between now and Christmas as part of what he dubbed G.O.O.D. Fridays.
