New Music!!!!

Kanye West Heartless

New Video--Love Lockdown

What is this Coming to America, Michael Jackson Do You Remember The Time non sense? Has Kanye gone off the deep end? lol Just playing. The song, given the elements in the video, actually makes a lot of sense.

A few questions--
I wonder why he decided to premiere the video on The Ellen Show?
Is this song a dedication to his recent break up with Alexis?
Where is Kanye's inspiration coming from for the new album?

Kanye...Love Don't Live Here Anymore!!!!!

I normally support ALL things Kanye, but this song is unacceptable. After listening for a little over a minute I realized he was going to use the annoying voice box for the entire song. I understand there's a need for originality, but don't you think the anime and muppet videos were enough? We get it, you're trying something new! But uniqueness these days is more than resorting to the voice box. (please take note Lil Wayne and friends) At one point I thought I was going to hear screams on the track. The bass and melody are comparable to the score played to build suspense in horror flicks. I know its time for Kanye to change up his "SWAG" (OMG I can't believe I used that God Awful word) by reinventing himself, but I don't think we were ready for this one. (let's face it not everyone can pull off the Andre 3stacks crossover) Nor do I think we (mostly me) will support his music if this is the direction its headed. Is this even classified as Hip-Hop? Word to the wise...If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Kanye Gone Muppet Baby?

Comedy Central has teamed with Kanye West for a project described as hip-hop meets the Muppets. A half-hour pilot has been shot for the project, tentatively titled "Alligator Boots."

It's from Jackhole Prods., the production company founded by Jimmy Kimmel, Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla that also was behind Comedy Central's puppet-centric "Crank Yankers."

The project, which is under consideration for 2009, would feature music produced and performed by West and fellow rapper Rhymefest, both of whom are serving as executive producers on the pilot alongside Kellison.

West also hosts the pilot; the idea is to have a different celebrity guest host for every episode, similar to the setup on the original "Muppet Show."

West's new album, "808s & Heartbreak," is due Dec. 16 via Def Jam. First single "Love Lockdown" is at iTunes now.


Sidebar--I guess Champion was such a great video Comedy Central saw potential for more muppet action from Kanye lol (I hope this isn't borderline Crank Yankers)

New Kanye Album Due By Year's End?

In addition to crafting tracks for Jay-Z's upcoming album, "Blueprint III," Kanye West is plotting the release of his own as-yet-untitled Def Jam album, according to his management.

West initially named his fourth album "Good Ass Job" several years ago, to follow the thread of "College Dropout," "Late Registration" and "Graduation," however, an official title has yet to be confirmed.

Still, the disc may well hit shelves in the fourth quarter and management says West is seriously contemplating that timeline. Most recently, the MC has been performing a new track called "Love Lockdown," which is rumored to be his first single and to be hitting iTunes in a matter of days.

There's speculation West will perform the song Sunday (Sept. 7) on the MTV Video Music Awards, to which he was added today.

"Graduation," released in September 2007, has sold 2.2 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Def Jam was unavailable for comment at deadline.

Kanye West- Good Morning

I love anime (Japanese animation) and especially Murakami! How cute is this bear?

All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom

How dope is this video? I've heard the song before but just came across the video on Kanye's blog. Word Pharell....instead of video girls you animate the Women's restroom sign. (Although she is backing that thang up though) See for yourself lol

Throwback-Slum Village What Ever Happened To Them?

Detroit based Hip Hop group,Slum Village, became a fan favorite with 2004 hit single Selfish. The genious collaboration featuring Kanye West & John Legend propelled the group (Whom was on the cusp of success)into instant stardom as well as nationwide exposure. (Or did it?) Just two questions...Where are they now? AND Who knew they had more than one single?

Check out this list of singles--
1999 "Get Dis Money" (Interscope)
2000 "Climax" (GoodVibe Recordings)
2000 "Raise It Up" (GoodVibe Recordings)
2002 "Tainted" (featuring Dwele) (Barak/Capitol Records)
2002 "Disco (Remix)" (featuring Ms. Jade & Raje Shwari) (Barak/Capitol Records)
2004 "Selfish" (featuring Kanye West and John Legend) (Capitol Records)
2004 "Do U" (Capitol Records)
2005 "EZ Up" (Barak Records)

Regardless, I was feeling this song and I think its time for a reunion!

Mr. West Is At It Again
