Check out the video from my favorite song of all time, Ice Cube’s “Today Was a Good Day”. ?Today actually was a good day for me….until I got some BUULLLLLSHIIIIIITTTTT in my inbox. Don’t worry though…I ain’t about to let no gay child molester spoil it for me!
Oh…and don’t forget about part two of the video. A strong reminder that dudes who perpetrate crimes against young boys and try to erase all evidence from the internet should be locked up and forced to eat cow sh*t for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ?Check Yo-Self Fo You Wrek Yo-Self: Continue Reading…
DefJam/BoBO (Best of Both Offices) set up a conference call between Kanye West a few hundred blog sites yesterday. Kanye discussed his upcoming release, 808s & Heartbreak. The album’s released date has been pushed up to November 24th and a tour may be planned for June. ?Kanye adressed his decision to venture into singing and leaked a new song that features Young Jeezy:
Today we’re about to drop one of the records that everybody’s talking about, “Amazing” featuring Jeezy.? It’s definitely one of those joints in the club that’s gonna go crazy, that’s gonna send it up like with did with “Swagger”, like we did with “Put On”, and like we always do it this time.? This is what my job is.? My job is to give y’all s**t that has the model b***hes running crazy, and has n***as bobbing their heads crazy like “Can’t Tell Me Nothin'” and “Flashin’ Lights”.? Of course I always hit them with a curve to start off with.? Y’all know that “Heartless”, that’s straight n***a s**t.? The whole album you can rap over at the end of the day, but I’m trying to put on those Phil Collins’ melodies.? I feel even if I’m harmonizing, it’s still from a n***a perspective.? I ain’t making no, ‘girl, your nails are the perfect nails, you the perfect-‘ naw, this ain’t none of that.? This is still that rap perspective music with melody.
I am soooo getting used to Kanye being a real singer right now! Use of the vocoder thingy is almost transparent in this new song and it’s the best one yet..IMO. ?Can’t wait for the album!! ?In other songs I’ve been listening to this week, Slim pairs up with Big Boi, Jay-Z reflects on Obama’s historic victory, Justin Timberlake joins the legions of vocoder users and Rick Ross drops a verse on on T.I.’s “Live Your Life.”?
Beyonce…I mean Sasha Fierce?performed??Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)? to kick off the 2008 World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco yesterday (November 9). The show was hosted by fellow Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams and actor Jesse Metcalfe. Mrs. Carter was also awarded a WMA for?Outstanding Contribution to the Arts. The 2008 WMA will air in the US on December 2nd.?
Check out the new video for DJ Khalid‘s “Go Hard” featuring Kanye West and T-Pain. I’m glad they finally released the video cause I really like this song. ?Watching Kanye & T-Pain battle it out vocally while both using the vocoder thingy is pure entertainment. ?Don’t get me wrong…I like this song and all, but shouldn’t there be a rule or something that only one person at a time can use the thingy on a song? Just a thought.
You can’t ever say that?Kanye West?doesn’t try new things! In his new video for “Heartless,” Mr. West enters a world of animation. ?There are quite a few cameos from futuristic superstars, the Jetson’s, who are prominently featured on artwork in Kanye’s cartoon home. ?I hate to say it folks, but Kanye’s singing has started to grow on me. ?I know you like it too…don’t front!
Kanye also explained his decision to turn from hip-hop to pop in an interview with a Singapore news outlet. In his usual arrogant swag, Ye explained how his new style of music should be described as “pop-art” and that his goal is to be the greatest performer of this generation. ?He gives much love to his homie T-Pain in the interview and even shows off his singing skills without the vocoder. When asked about his experiences with the media, Kanye quickly pointed out the power of the blog:
My relationship with the media? O.K…That’s why I love having a blog because it’s like, BAM! I can say exactly what I want, the amount of stuff I want…and then it just goes out to everywhere else, it may end up on CNN.
That’s the greatest thing about having a blog. ?Before that…you would have to go through the media.
Dayum! Kanye’s just letting all the good secrets out these days. 😕 Peep the full interview: Continue Reading…
