Kanye West has racked up a long list of things that he hates in his series of rants and now one of those targets is firing back. In addition to his recent rant at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, earlier this week Ye recently chided shoe retailer Zappos for "selling sh-t product" and the company is poking fun at that in a new spoof. "Interested in buying sh-t product? You've come to the right place! Here at Zappos.com, we happily sell sh-t products to everybody!" the retailer says on its "Sh-t Product" page. 

Zappos also makes reference to Kanye with, "This is the throne, everyone has been watching. Whether you're #1 or #2, your clique will show no mercy, even in Paris. " In the faux reviews for the toilet and plunger (which happens to cost $100,000), Zappos writes, "Yo Zappos! Imma let you finish . . . but this is the best Sh-t product of all time!" a clear nod to Ye's MTV Video Music Awards blunder in 2009.

The whole Kanye vs. Zappos issue was sparked when the producer/rapper said, "I got into this giant argument with the head of Zappos that he's trying to tell me what I need to focus on," in an interview with Brett Easton Ellis. "Meanwhile, he sells all this sh-t product to everybody, his whole thing is based off of selling sh-t product."
