The official title Kanye West’s fourth album is 808’s and Heartbreaks which will drop December 16.
Kanye debuted the first single off his new record, “Love Lockdown” while closing the 2008 MTV awards. Thus far the song has been a great success, skyrocketing to the top of the most in-demand downloads. The studio version will hit iTunes within the next month and a 1/2.
Know what? I really don’t care how good or bad Kanye’s new cd is, I am just thrilled that I will be able to catch a Kanye show since I missed him this time around. Beyonce is also rumored to be having an album dropping this November too. No complaints here.
Kanye West will be closing the MTV VMAs this year.
Despite a year-old vow to any media outlet that would listen that he would never again show his face on the backstabbing airwaves of MTV—a proclamation made after being relegated to a small stage and shut out despite five nominations at last year’s Video Music Awards—West has apparently forgiven and forgotten and signed on to perform at this Sunday’s show.
West will join Britney Spears (whom the rapper previously claimed was exploited by the network at last year’s wingding) in book-ending the 25th anniversary edition of the VMAs do, with the hip-hop star set to close the night’s censor-ready proceedings.
Because I truly love you all, I’m posting the video of Kanye’s rant again. So elegant. So unscripted. Screw ‘I Want to Work For Diddy.’ We need an ‘I Want to Work for Kanye’ show. His assistants must go through hell sitting through all the tantrums.
Kanye West shirtless has turned me off more than turned me on. I just don’t understand. In his clothes, he looks cut, and with his ego, hell yes, he better be cut. Not. So. Much. I’d still hit it, though, but only after he promises to be on top, that way he can burn more calories.
Kanye is always giving props to Louis in his songs. This partnership is well deserved. Congrats!
Louis Vuitton is apparently looking to beef up its presence in the glow-in-the-dark menswear market.
Sitting front and center at the French fashion house’s spring 2009 show in Paris last week, Kanye West told Women’s Wear Daily that he has signed on to collaborate on a line of men’s footwear for the LVMH-owned luxury brand.
The clothes-conscious rapper also said that he’s working on a non-Louis-related signature line of womenswear that’s set to debut this fall.
Snarky reported the following: Kanye West angered fans when he didn’t take the stage on time at the Bonnaroo Fest. in Tennessee. Between Pearl Jam’s show running longer than it was suppose to and Ye’s crew setting up his crazy stage set, he was 2 hours behind schedule.
Well, Kanye is MAD and I don’t blame him! Check out most of his angry blog post. The caps lock keys was made for times just like this. Use it frivolously, honey.
This rant is LONG but I breezed right through it. It’s pretty damn entertaining.
I am sick of negative people who just sit around trying 2 plot my downfall… Why???? I understand if people don’t like me because I like me or if people think tight clothes look gay or people say I run my mouth to much, But this Bonnaroo thing is the worst insult I’ve ever had in my life. This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!!(more…)
Kanye West angered fans when he didn’t take the stage on time at the Bonnaroo Fest. in Tennessee. Between Pearl Jam’s show running longer than it was suppose to and Ye’s crew setting up his crazy stage set, he was 2 hours behind schedule.
The rapper didn’t appear on stage at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo until 4.25 a.m. Sunday morning – some two hours behind schedule. Previous act Pearl Jam ran over by an hour, festival organizers said – and then there were long delays setting up West’s elaborately futuristic stage set. As the delay dragged on, fans at the four-day-long music festival reportedly began chanting “Kanye sucks” and pelting the empty stage with glow sticks.
Why get your panties in a bunch? Take a lil nap for cryin’ out loud or start up a sweet beer drinking game while you wait! I wonder if people were really throwing their glow sticks out of rage, or because it looks really cool when you’re on acid or shrooms? The dumbest shit looks cool when you’re on either of the two. Take it from someone who thought they were being surrounded by an army of dragon flies the first time I dropped acid. Heh, heh.
Word to the wise - don’t throw shit at a Kanye West concert. A couple of stunned concert-goers were called out by West after they threw something on the stage. Embarrassment ensued as lights were shone on them and they were escorted away as the crowd jeered them. Awkward!
The eviction occurred at West’s Glow in the Dark concert in Minneapolis. The guys who filmed this video should have been also kicked out for their sheer lameness.
My future baby daddy is dating some bony ass Victoria’s Secret attention whore, fivehead, gaunt, ribs sticking out, Nick Cannon’s leftovers skank!
“Selita Ebanks isn’t crying over ex-fiancé Nick Cannon, who just married Mariah Carey. The Victoria’s Secret hottie partied with Kanye West, who recently split with his fiancée, at Tenjune Saturday night.
They were spotted trying to sneak out together late that night after dining upstairs. They looked ‘cozy’ when they left, according to a spywitness outside. ‘They were trying to be inconspicuous, but they were smiling and walking real close, and they hopped in a waiting car together laughing and took off.’”
