Two of my favorites in one blockbuster film.  Anything with explosions is that much cooler.

I can't get enough of this song, Keri Hilson, feat. Kanye and Ne-Yo.  I'm 100% straight but developing a little crush on Keri.  Can you blame me?

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:59:05 -0800 Music Updates http://giveandgo.posterous.com/music-updates http://giveandgo.posterous.com/music-updates ATTN: Kanye, Ludacris, and Linkin Park fans-  Pick up their new albums/purchase on iTunes, just dropped today.

And finally, no they don't have a new CD (yet), but news on the wire, No Doubt is starting up their 2009 tour, which is great because if you haven't seen No Doubt or Gwen in concert, you're missing out, she kicks ass on stage.  So do Ye and LP.

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:19:11 -0800 Kanye to My Ears http://giveandgo.posterous.com/kanye-to-my-ears http://giveandgo.posterous.com/kanye-to-my-ears So this week we can expect some fresh albums to drop, one I've been particularly excited for is Kanye West's 808's and Heartbreak.  While the beats are not your traditional Kanye-esque beats, you will find this to be a refreshing direction for the theme of this particular album.  I like to see that he's versatile and not afraid to incorporate new influences.    Envision theatrical staging, explosive light pentetrating the dark, and pure heart-felt lyrics.  Critics will question his use of the synthesizer and melodic concentration, but I am all for it.  If an artist can convey his emotions and expand his style based on his own experiences and make it work, you're nothing short of success.  Of course, his older albums were phenomenal in their own rights.  I'm just saying this new one has a totally different vibe and worth giving a chance.  Eerily, I think I can relate to some of the tracks and that's what gets me into it even more, besides the fact that I've always been on Kanye's jock.  Kudos to Ye for his recent wins at the AMA's for Favorite Male Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album for Graduation

Robocop demonstrates something totally out of left field from his customary realm. But he still adds a touch of humor and speaks with emphasis.

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:08:13 -0800 Hot Off the Kanye Wire http://giveandgo.posterous.com/hot-off-the-kanye-wire http://giveandgo.posterous.com/hot-off-the-kanye-wire This is what I like about Ye - he is an excellent self-marketer as well as a skilled producer/rapper.   He is recently quoted as likening himself to the great Michael Jordan, just in the music realm.  Read more:  http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/15348921

And I've truly fallen victim to all of the above...you guys know he's on my A-list.  Critics will pick on him for the things he says, but I think it peaks more public interest and I actually find cockiness in men extremely sexy.  Well, as long as they've got the talent to back it up. So you go Kanye, go on with your MVP self.  By the way, his album drops on November 24th.

And here's a list of all the new tracks:

'Welcome to Heartbreak'
'Heartless'
'Love Lockdown'
'Robocop'
'Anyway'
'Streetlights'
'Say You Will'
'Real Bad News'
'Amazing' [ft. Young Jeezy]
'Tell Everybody That You Know' [ft. Lil Wayne]
'Coldest Winter'

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:31:34 -0700 Love Lockdown Video http://giveandgo.posterous.com/love-lockdown-video http://giveandgo.posterous.com/love-lockdown-video
Perhaps one of the most artistic and well integrated videos I've witnessed in a while.  (Special thanks to K for the heads up.)

Kanye West released his Love Lockdown video yesterday to the public, as seen on Ellen Degeneres' talk show.  I encourage you to go straight to his blog to see it in high quality:  http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/?em3106=209224_-1__0_~0_-1_10_2008_0_0&em3281=&em3161=

I love the use of all white throughout the house and might I add, Kanye is looking, for lack of a better-fitting term - super GQ.  Wow.  Excuse me while I go pick up my jaw off the floor.  Upon further research, sources say he was inspired by the movie American Psycho in creating this piece.  That's my kind of movie!   Probably one of Christian Bale's best roles, though, he hardly fails to deliver.  And the random transitions from the modern-day interior to the cultural African tribal themed fantasy (which vaguely reminded me of a classy version of scenes from my all-time favorite movie Coming to America), blended so well together against the beat of the heart in his song.  Excuse my language but this f*cking blows my mind, I love it!   

Here are some of my favorite stills from the video pictured below:

1.  I wouldn't mind sitting on that couch with him.
2.  African Tribal Elements
3.  My favorite scene.  Amazing how simple hand motions and seating position can portray so much emotion.
4.  Excellent costumes.
5.  And it wouldn't be Kanye without ladies.  I like the glowing body paint!
6.  Is she the one on his mind?
7.  What's your interpretation of this scene? 

Kanye's album, 808s & Heartbreak is set to drop Nov. 25, earlier than anticipated.  (Thanks L for this scoop.)  Ye, your fans await!  Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.
