Biggie and Yeezy and Lotus...OH MY

Call it what you want...but I think that is Big were still walking the Earth, we might see a product like this come from the critically acclaimed beatsmith and the legendary bedstuy brethren. Shoutout to DJ White Lotus for this one.

Quincy Says NO to Kanye Comparison

Quincy's an OG. Very interesting standpoint...but not really. It's understood though.

"No way. Did he write for a symphony orchestra? Does he write for a jazz orchestra? Come on, man. He’s just a rapper. There’s no comparison. I’m not putting him down or making a judgement or anything, but we come from two different sides of the planet. I spent 28 years learning my first skill. I don’t rap. It’s not the same thing. " -Quincy Jones-

A Letter from Russell to Kanye

Recently, Hip-Hop Mogul wrote a very heartfelt message to Kanye. Pretty dope. It's nice to see people uniting behind the man. Read the rest here

The passion you put into your new album is why I stayed up all those nights in the early 80's trying to get DJs and radio stations to play our records. I knew this day would come. Actually, maybe I didn't know, but I really, really hoped it would. I didn't work this hard when I was your age to watch the culture go the wrong way. And you, my friend, just took us to another level. I am simply in awe.

G.O.O.D. Ass Weekend

Ok, so apparently ticket giveaways have ended, but I still have to let you know. This weekend is gonna be BANANAS.

1. G.O.O.D. Fridays will definitely coming with heat.
2. Friday Night Lights will be dropping from Killa Cole


LAST and I dare say most importantly, Heineken Inspire is throwing a concert with NaS, Cee-Lo, Pete Rock, Diplo, Roxy Cottontail, and a Surprise guest. To be quite honest, if I didn't know any better I would think that this was even a G.O.O.D. music track collabo coordinated by Ye. I really cannot think of a better weekend in the fourth quarter for music!

FYI we're going to be getting on the fashion tip sooner than later, and we're starting out with these clean kicks that are a result of a Heineken and Gourmet collabo.

Runaway (Full Length Video)

Taking Hip-Hop into unknown territory with this one. Furthermore, the soundtrack is bananas.

Ye obsessed with White People?

I was put on to this article a little earlier today. Don't really know what to make of it, but nonetheless it's a decent conversation piece. Read the rest of the article here at the BVX.

Still, Ye never relinquished the role of the quasi-nerd who never gets the prom queen because she only dates jocks. He's since become a jock, but he no longer seeks merely to win the prom queen, but rather to run the whole prom court . In doing so, he's become infatuated with the old (exclusively white) boys club, which runs the courts of hubris, pomp, privilege and capital -- social and financial capital and arguably more of the former.

His apology to Taylor Swift signified a certain racial deference, given that there was no Tweeted "sorry" also to Janet Jackson, the person who was supposed to be the center of attention at that year's VMAs for her moving tribute to her deceased King of Pop brother -- all of which was overshadowed by West's antics.

M.I.B.

I didn't see the BET Awards, but I did see this clip and ummm...the defibrillator of Hip-Hop and his G.O.O.D. Music crew alongside Premier ripped a new one with their segment. Now it's time for us to go check out Cyhi The Prince.

The Cudi Hendrix Experience Feat. Kanye West and McLovin

Kid Cudi is one of my favorite new artist. Here he does his thing with the help of big Kanyeezy who once again kills the track, and 2/3 of the SuperBad crew. All dressed like their next stop could be Woodstock 2010.

Cruella Cruella...DeVILLE

So...I actually might be posting a new Kanye song every Friday if he keeps going in at this rate. With much pleasure I post Devil in a New Dress. It's a crazy change of pace but definitely for the better. Ghostface would snap this beat in half...that would be a crazy collab over this track. The last time they met up with Ne-Yo on the hook it was magic to my ears. Clearly this isn't the final product so I'll hold my breathe and cross my fingers.

"Put your hands to the constellations / The way you look should be a sin, you my sinsation / I know I'm preaching to the congregation / We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan"

Monstro

Honestly, I didn't think that anyone including Kanye would even be able to touch the Power Remix...but they did and while I don't think they surpassed it personally I could see an intelligent person arguing that it did.

"Money so tall that my Barbie's gotta climb it / Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate fine lit / Tony Mattaran Dutty Wine it" -Nicki Minaj-

This album could potentially be his best one yet...not that this means anything because that's how it usually is.

Power Remix (Feat. Jay-Z) - Kanye West

Ayyyy Dios mio...this track has officially been FUBAR'D. Ye's untitled album is dropping in November, and he's back with that commercial conscious liberation music...can't you tell how excited we are?
"We on that Norman Mailer shit / in search of the truth even if it goes through Taylor Swift...tell her this"

Clipse & Ye Collabo? Kinda Like a Big Deal

I was already fine with what they were doing, but now they changed how they ride the beat along with

Less crack
New beat selection
Different delivery

After 3 mixtapes, 2 albums, and a bunch of guest appearances, their consistency reassures me that this next project will be just as good as the first two. Here's there new track with Mr. West himself, Kinda Like a Big Deal. By the way, he stabbed the track to death.
