Limelight Shutdown: Trouble Brewing Between Kanye West & Jay-Z Over "MCHG"?

After spending around three weeks in the limelight before dropping his much discussed "Yeezus" album, Kanye talk abruptly ceased when Jay-Z announced his new album, "Magna Carta Holy Grail." We all know Yeezy's got a sensitive ego, and there's no way being overshadowed by Hov yet again hasn't bothered him at all. Even his creative projection marketing campaign was silenced when Hov revealed his groundbreaking deal with Samsung.

While Hip Hop fans everywhere listened to Funkmaster Flex scream over "MCHG" tracks last night, Kanye was tweeting about Guillermo del Toro's new movie. He picked quite the night to get on his neglected Twitter and NOT talk about "Magna Carta Holy Grail."

As one fan put it, his Guillermo del Toro tweets came off as "high-end subtweeting."

Are we in for a cold war between Jay and 'Ye?
