A  week after ripping into Kanye West and praising Drake/Kendrick Lamar (and smack dab in the middle of the Wu-Tang Clan's 20th anniversary reunion tour) U-God has released "Fame," the second music video off of his new album Keynote Speaker.

Check it out below:

 

As should be expected from the Wu-Tang member, the video is heavy on New York imagery. And U-God must be very important because he has many leatherbound books in a room that no doubt smells of rich mahogany.

"[Kanye is] getting too far away," the rapper told HuffPo in an interview last week, trashing Yeezus. "Tell him there's no sound in space. He's got to come back on planet Earth. Space is a vacuum. There's no sound in space. Earth is where it's at. Come back down baby, come back."  

However, the vet was quick to praise some of the young talent in hip-hop.

There are just certain dudes that when they spit -- like P[rodigy] from Mobb Deep -- when I hear them rhyme, it just triggers something in me. That's how you're supposed to do it. Kendrick got my blood boiling like that, too. He has that spark, like,Oooh....Drake too, man! I don't know why niggas frontin' on Drake. He has rhymes, man. He's getting it in. I'm not trying to be like him, but I'm not going to front on you, I like his style of music. Everyone who is in touch with their individuality -- I enjoy it. That's what hip-hop is about."   

Keynote Speaker is out now.
