Idk if this is gonna come out right but fuck it. Here’s the CDQ of a song I posted a while ago, before My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy came out, and that he performs on tour called “Mama’s Boyfriend”.
Listen to it here since apparently I can’t do this properly from my phone

And this is true of kanye West’s new video for Power. Here it is.
This might be the one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Definitely the most interesting and creative.
These are details to the video by the director I believe.
So what exactly is the piece?
Well, it’s a video portrait of Kanye. It starts with a very tight shot introducing him that’s kind of a reinvention of a neoclassical painting. It pulls back from the shot, without any cuts, and we reveal the video canvas, populated by all these characters who are depicted in various stages of undress and decadence. The iconography comes from Roman iconography, Renaissance iconography, and it connects to the sexuality of the music as well. As we reveal the setting for it, there’s a feeling of a moment of transition for him. A fall from grace, if you will. It visualizes power, and him as the icon as power, and then at the end of the piece it challenges the power that I set up at the beginning. It’s an elliptical piece of storytelling.
How did you guys end up using that kind of imagery?
He approached me via my gallery and he wanted to do something that wasn’t a music video. He wanted a video work that would accompany the music. I said, “That’s great, because I don’t do music videos.” I wanted to give it an epic feeling. The song feels very personal, but the orchestration and the production of the track is epic and I wanted to give it something hypersensational and exaggerated.
And I understand you’ve heard that Dark Twisted Fantasy is the name of the album?
I’ve heard that’s the latest name. I would say not locked-in, and it would probably not get locked until closer to the time of the album release.

Told y’all I’d let you know when the CDQ was available for download. Here it is
The big homie Yeezy was at Facebook’s headquarters yesterday and performed some music from the album. Here it is, direct from RapRadar
“Chain Heavy and a freestyle possibly”
“Mama’s Boyfriend”
No title =\
And then today the Louie Vuitton Don made a Twitter account where he revealed that the albums name had changed and as of now has no definite title.
*patiently waits for Ye to spazz*
Follow Ye @KanyeWest
This quite possibly may be the first single off of Cudi’s new album Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager. I love it man, the way he can cross genres without sounding like he’s trying too hard. Just plain dope, and Ye’s verse doesn’t lack either.
Right now all I have is a stream, when A DL becomes available, I got you.
Cudi’s album drops on “G.O.O.D Music day” (September 14) alongside Kanye’s and Consequence’s. Pusha T also has a mixtape releasing the same day. Sound kinda promising to you too?
Thought so.

I’m not a fan of stealing pics but I find this one AMAZING.. Anyway, back to the music this is Kanye’s new joint that Im SURE you already heard.
Similar to other blogs, I wanted to wait until Kanye put out the Mastered version so here it is.
Can’t wait for the album to drop *Harlem shakes back to Facebook*
Once again, Thank 2DopeBoyz
You know what I like about Ye?
He dont care ! Like thats one nigga I can honestly say that doesnt give a fuck.
But that is not always a bad thing, at least he doesnt compromise his artistic integrity. And that..is extremely respectable
To take Jay’s words “If you cant respect that, your whole perspective is whack“
Here is his rant on people who criticize his style and whatnot
WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE FUCKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY NIGGAS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SHIT ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. FUCK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SHIT, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!’ WELL FUCK YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER THEY SCORE! IT’S LIFE MY NIGGAS, IT’S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR APOLOGIES!!!
“FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE.”
Thats why Ye is that nigga..
And apparently he removed it from his blog but its still the shyt to me
Yees after Kan the Louis Vuitton Don dropped 808’s and Heartbreaks, he has been semi-dormant
but here is some unreleased music from my nigga.
Its called Promised Land feat. Malik Yusef and Adam Levine
I like it cuz it has some real lyrics to it so here, enjoy
Yea, I bought it.
And its freakin sweet.
Kanye has that raw emotion when he performs that you can’t fake man. Undoubtedly Id put him up there in my top 5 favorite artists of all time
Whats That? You disagree?
