"Is Kanye West turning over a new leaf in the new year? The &amp;quot;Bound 2&amp;quot; rapper, 36 -- whose countless rants have gotten him into trouble on more than a few occasions over the last several months -- has vowed to keep his mouth shut for &amp;quot;six months, at least&amp;quot; in 2014. He made the proclamation in a 27-minute-long speech at his final Yeezus concert of the year in Toronto, Canada, on Monday, Dec. 23.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Everything I&amp;apos;m saying that&amp;apos;s not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y&amp;apos;all hear me talk s--t for a long time,&amp;quot; he told the crowd. &amp;quot;Might be another, like, six months. At least. You&amp;apos;re just gonna have to run back the interviews and s--t if you wanna hear some realness!&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m gonna tell y&amp;apos;all right now: All of the ideas, the things they call rants...save those tapes and everything,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;Because I&amp;apos;ve decided to completely focus everything in 2014 on all the new ideas, all the creative outlets.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe controversial hip hop star went on to address some of his issues with companies like Nike, which declined to give him royalties for his Air Yeezy footwear. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not [going to] ever bring up Nike again. The only way I&amp;apos;ll bring them up is in a positive light,&amp;quot; he resolved. &amp;quot;Because I actually appreciate the opportunity to have been able to make my own shoe with them, and if I didn&amp;apos;t have the opportunity I wouldn&amp;apos;t have my deal I have with Adidas right now.&amp;quot;\r\nHe made a similar promise regarding the Grammys, which earned his ire earlier this month for giving him only two nominations for his critically acclaimed album Yeezus.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ll never bring up the Grammys again in a negative light. Because I actually appreciate the 21 Grammys that I did win,&amp;quot; he told his cheering fans. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not gonna be the dude who has all the opportunities in the world and just focuses on the negative and complains about it.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;So I&amp;apos;m letting y&amp;apos;all know in this last Yeezus show that this is the last time you&amp;apos;ll ever hear me say anything negative about anyone,&amp;quot; he vowed. &amp;quot;Because you only get the energy that you put out into the world.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWith that in mind, West -- engaged to Kim Kardashian, with whom he has a 6-month-old daughter, North -- plans to focus his passion on his art. &amp;quot;I feel like I really want to be expressive with my work, with my music,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I want to be expressive with this opportunity I have with Adidas, and just go home to my family.&amp;quot;\r\nTell Us: Do you think Kanye West will be able to keep his promise?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
