C'mon Kanye

How can Ferrari(his barber) let you go out like this? I hate the mullet, it looks like a hot mess! But I have to say, he gave a good performance. Touch the Sky was my favorite because that's what Obama did for this election. I'm mad at MTV for cutting him off and not showing his "Love Lockdown" performance.

Do you like Kanye's mullet? Good performance? Who was your favorite performer?

Here's Jay-Z's performance.

New Music

Now, we haven't heard from Eminem in a long time, so I had high expectations. Sadly, I'm not a fan of his new song "Crack A Bottle" featuring 50 Cent and Dr. Dre. First of all, I do not like the chorus. 50 Cent's verse is not all that. The song is another whack radio song. I want new material that's better than his old album Marshall Mathers LP.

Click here to listen and download the track.

UPDATE:

I found this song "Payback" by Kanye West. It never was released! I'm guessing it's old because his voice sounds so young. It's a cool track tho. Click here to download it.

Bad

I just heard "Bad Girl" by Rihanna featuring Chris Brown. And I actually like it! It's a different vibe from her but it's a cool song. I can hear this in a club or at a party. I'm sure it'll be a hit for her. Click here to download it.

UPDATE: If you're interested in owning a personalized piece by designer Melody Ehsani(She made Rihanna's "Bad" ring, then click here! She has cute things.

Kanye's 808 & Heartbreak

Click here to listen to the AMAZING "808 & Heartbreak".

*you must click on the album cover picture & all the songs will show up.

I got the e-mail around 6pm and I've been waiting ever since. I am so looking forward to

 purchasing this album. It's incredible! It's very different from his rapping style but it's such a good change for him. It suits him well and he does a good job at it. Make sure to listen to the entire album! Some of the songs that got leaked have been changed and updated.

My favorite songs are:

Robocop, Street Lights, Bad News, Pinocchino Freestyle, Amazing & Heartless.

Here is the retail packaging for the album.

This has always been my favorite picture of Kanye and his lovely mother.

After winning several Grammys in 2006.

This hit me when I saw it.. Ms.Donda West, I know you're so proud of your son. :(

MAKE SURE TO PURCHASE "808 & HEARTBREAK" ON MONDAY!

Hip Hop Is Like "A Big High School"

I think Kanye is right about hip hop changing. There's so many diversity in hip hop right now. I think it's pretty fascinating. It keeps people wanting more and more. 
Also, for those anxiously waiting for The Nike Air Yeezys, it's offical their coming out in March 2009 in 4 different colors. I hope their not $300 a pair like Jordans. I think they need to consider how our economy is affecting our retail market.
UPDATE!!!!!It's been announced! Kanye's next tour will be called YE vs THE VOLCANO!

For more information about the shoes, visit Nike Air Yeezys.

Best Early Thanksgiving Gift EVER

This just made my heart jump! Adding Lupe, T-Pain and Fab is brilliant! Don't really care for the other artists and Busta... Unless, he performs his old tracks then I'm hyped about his performance! I just hope this doesn't make T.I.'s and Kanye's performance shorter cause that would suck. I cannot wait to see T.I live.. I've never seen him in concert before so I've been listening to "Paper Trail" and his old songs to prepare myself! And of course, I've been listening to Kanye and I'm ready for "808 & Heartbreaks"! Imagine, if Jay-Z showed up..... I'd D-I-E! What if Lil' Wayne pops up to perform "Swagger Like Us" or "Tell Everyone That You Know"? That'd be awesome! I will make sure I know all the lyrics to each of Kanye's songs... 12/11, you better get ready for me!

L.A, here I come! I know you missed... Even tho, we had a love/hate relationship.

I hope I'm able to see my BFF Choyce.. I miss ya, luv!

I'm also excited to stay at the new Renaissance Hollywood Hotel. Never stayed there but from what I read, it's real nice. It better be for being ranked #4 in Los Angeles.. Let me know if you've stayed there before, I'd love to know!

Located on N. Highland

If your interested in attending purchase your tickets on, Ticketmaster or Live Nation.

Jay-Z Video

I'm looking forward to this show. I think TV needs more talk shows that relate to music instead of drama. It will be airing on 11/24 at 11:30p.m. Make sure to watch it! Jay-Z will be her first guest... Yes! Plus, I don't think it's tacky to be eating candy and talking... It's cute when Jay-Z is doing it!

Hmmm, 50 Cent Talking About Kanye's New Album

MTV Shows

I think he's still mad that Kanye beat him BY A LOT on record sales. lol

Wish I Was There

Sometimes, I wish I lived in London...
I've been blessed to see De La Soul, Mos Def and Nas at the Rock the Bells '08 in San Francisco. But it wouldn't hurt to see them ALL together again. And with Kanye & Will I AM there!
