John Monopoly Talks Kanye West Shout-Out

The lyric "Monop in this bitch, get a change of climate" from Kanye West's "I Am A God" references the Chicago veteran, John Monopoly, who used to manage West before their amicable split in 2004.

Monopoly discusses how this came about, as well as the status of his relationship with Kanye, and his recent split from Lawless, Inc., the label responsible for Louie and Katie Got Bandz.
