So the video has finally leaked from Kanye and Rihanna, and although im very disappointed that she's not singing on the track like originally planned, im still glad to see Rihanna doing her thing in the video. Check it out.
Great song, great video! Check out this post from Toya's World to learn more about Rihanna's upcoming movie plans and other rumors. Tell her i sent ya!
The ohh so sexy Teairra Mari got a new leak that im liking. She linked up with Kanye West to record the track "Diamonds" which was originally recorded by Christina Milian who since past up on the song.
So i heard the demo awhile back by Mr.James Fauntleroy and i fell in love with the track. I was a bit worried for awhile cause i wasn't sure who was gonna get it, but i couldn't be any happier that David got it, he does the song justice and sounds good on the track.
I don't know if this was a top 5 track b4, but its def my ringtone right now and i can't get enough of it. Cassie's voice has always worked for me, especially on slow laid back tracks like this one, and when you add Day 26 and Diddy, the chemistry is just magical.
Okay im cheating, but i love these 2 songs. like most of my favorite songs, they caught me completely off guard. But i fell in love with them right away. Both dope track and the boys sound amazing, they know what works and they don't miss a beat on any song.
I often criticize Diddy for the way he handles projects over at Bad Boy and this album is exactly why. Press Play was an AMAZING project that really brought together some of music's greatest talents, and was promoted really well. Why he couldn't promote Danity Kane, Day 26, or Donnie like this is beyond me. Smh 'Though You Said' was one of those songs on the album that didn't quiet make sense at first, but once it catches you, it doesn't let go. They both put it down on this track, and its a must listen indeed.
it was my anthem for spring break, and one of his best songs off the album. The beat is just awesome, and the tracks hella catchy. Gotta love the Kan-man.
Bonus Joint-
You Know i had to hitchu with a bonus, and he's been getting plays from me all week, so i gotta shout out ryan Leslie and the track "Promise Not 2 Call", it was knocking hard on thursday and i had to make sure i showed it some love.
Make sure to go check all those joints out, and hit me up with you top 5!
2 new tracks from ya boy Kanye West. First up in a dope track called "Poker Face", which samples Lady Gaga's song of the same name, in it's acoustic version. Features Common and Kid Cudi.
Next up is the official Remix for Beyonce's new single "Ego" featuring Mr.SuperEgo himself. He brings a nice swag to the song, and i can't wait for the video.
Good looks for Kanye West, it appears he's getting back on his swag in 09 and leaving the autotune behind, which is cool with me i missed the old Kanye West to be honest. Dope tracks check em out and let us know whatchu think.
Last months featured artist The-Dream is still out on the promo trail for his new album, and he stopped by Shade 45 in the Morning to talk about everything from his relationships with Nivea and Christina Milian, to his discontent with the Grammys and how he's the new "Kanye". Check it out.
Interesting stuff indeed. Seems like a pretty mellow dude, and i dig what he had to stay about being real and all that good stuff...he seems genuine about it.
Anywho, him and MiliBLONDE were photo'd the other day, and they look every bit the couple they trying not to be. I gotta say i been waiting for her hair to look nice...and it just hasn't hit me yet. I'm sure its gonna look crazy for video...whenever they decide to drop it. But until then she looks like a bootleg ass storm to me. smh
Kanye is that dude forreal forreal, this cover is dope!!! Kanye graces the cover of this month's complex magazine and call him cocky, but sometimes his "holier than thou" attitude can have some interesting results, this cover being one of em. Shot by Chris Milk (Photographer and music video director), the cover (like most of West's work), was a labor of love and something he was highly envolved in.
What can you say? Ye has been known to do some craziness, but this is just off the charts. I love the look tho, it works. He might just be on to something...
For more news on the cover make sure to check out MTV.com for an exclusive interview with Editor in Chief Noah Callahan-Bever about the cover.
