Kanye West has never been one to bite his tongue, but diss Jay-Z … that’s a different story. Putting the duo’s 2011-2012 “Watch the Throne” tour to the side, the loquacious rapper hit the stage during his show in London Saturday and sounded off about Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake’s “Suit & Tie.”

“I got love for Hov, but I ain’t f——- with that ‘Suit &Tie,’” Kim Kardashian’s baby daddy told the crowd as an instrumental “Clique” played in the background, which features him and Jay-Z.

And that was just the beginning of Kanye’s rant about the music industry.

“I hate business people,” West rapped, according to Billboard. “People get on the phone with me and tell me, ‘What kind of business can you do, though? What type of business are you doing? What’s the numbers? How much did you sell? What’s the radio spins? How much shampoo can you sell with your face on it and sh–. Remind me again why we in this sh—. Can you remind me again why we in this sh–? Since when (is) making music about getting rich? Since when was making art about getting rich? … Remind me again why we in this sh–.”

Oh, yes, there was even more during the 10-minute rapped speech.
