Kid CuDi - Erase Me (Feat. Kanye West)

This is looks like it might be the first single off of CuDi's new album an On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager dropping on September 14th. His last album was breath of fresh air and I expect this new one to be just as good.
My students think I look like either one of these guys...don't really see it.

Kanye West - Power (Feat. Dwele)

First song we have heard from Kanye in a while. As expected, Good Ass Job will be primarily hard hip-hop. This beat is insane though. Press play.

Drake - Find Your Love Video

A nice visual to go with this nice song. Good looks OVO.

Drake - Find Your Love (Prod. Kanye West)

I respect Drake for taking a chance with this one. Great for the summer, real smooth. Kanye killed this beat. Love it.

Common Enlists Kanye & No I.D. For New Album

"Common is returning to his roots. After linking with The Neptunes for the majority of last year’s dance friendly Universal Mind Control, the Chi-town MC is reuniting with Kanye West and No I.D. for his ninth studio album, The Believer.

During the benefit show for his Common Ground Foundation over the weekend, Com told XXLMag.com that he has already recorded tracks with Kanye and No I.D. for the project, which he expects to hit stores sometime next spring.

Common also said he has been in the studio with beatsmith Twilite Tone, who he hasn’t worked with since One Day It’ll All Make Sense. Like I.D. Twilite also produced a lot of songs on Com’s debut."

Can't wait for this. Sounds right.

Common x Friends Benefit Concert In LA

This is video of the Common's "Common Ground" Benefit concert at the Palladium in LA. Common, Nas, Ludacris, De La Soul, and the Roots were the scheduled acts. Kanye West, Talib, Mos Def, Queen Latifah, and Heavy D came out as surprise guests. I was at this concert y'all, shit was dope. Having Kanye, Mos, Talib, Common, and Queen Latifah on stage at the same time was classic. All of them are dope performers. Highlight of my weekend for sure. Awh.

Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil' Wayne & Eminem - Forever Video

I see Lebron included his dunk on KG in this video. Josh, you mad/scared? Slaughterhouse in this video during Em's set too, I respect that. Press play.

Affion Crockett - Run This Town

HILARIOUS. Must watch.

Mr.Hudson Interview

"HS: G.O.O.D. Music has a laundry list of heavy hitters on their roster. Line up aside; what sold you on signing with the label?

H: Um, I don’t think I had much choice. Did I? In honesty, I was a little bit lost at that point. I had made the first album. Didn’t know what I was going to do and it just made a lot of sense. Going through G.O.O.D. Music was really just a formality because Kanye was like (in so many words) “look, I’m going to look out for you, I’m going to produce your record. You make the music and I’ll make you famous.” It was simple. Even when we were talking about production and who to bring in for different pieces of the album he said – you just sing really well and I’ll make some beats. That was the plan. End of conversation. Just starting another cookie here… "

Jamie Foxx ft. Drake, Kanye West & The-Dream - Digital Girl Remix

"No strings attached, our love is so wi-fi" They also changed some other stuff around in this song but its not too bad. Still love this beat.

No I.D. on Blueprint 3

No I.D. talking about the direction of Blueprint 3. Really looking forward to this

“I'm on about 6 tracks and the original concept for the album came when me and Kanye were in New Orleans last summer. He was like why don't you come and work on this Jay album with me and we can do a couple of tracks. And we never really did stuff like that before so I was like O.K. And our synergy was so good off the top that I told him, “Hey man, I don't have an ego. Let's do like Dre and Mel-Man would do and let's do the whole album” which eventually lead to us working on 808s & Heartbreak together. First it was just gone be me and him doing it and then over time with Kanye touring and all that, other people got involved with the album. So we got 7 or 8 on there and I'm on like 6 of them and one was me all by myself which was “D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-Tune.)”

Unfortunately...

“From a beat perspective it's closer back to The Black album level from Jay- Z but a little more Blueprintish in a sense of it having a little more Jay-Z soul which you come to expect. But then Timb had some stuff on there, Swizz was on there. It's a really solid Jay-Z album to me and I think that musically its gonna deliver, point blank period.”

Goodness. Lord why. Read the rest of the article form HipHopWired.

Justin Bieber Plays Kanye and Drake

So I'm sitting in this hotel with one of my favorite people in the world recently when this teenage white kid shows up on the screen singing. Apparently he's signed to Usher and Island Def Jam. Didn't know he could play guitar. I heard he's only 15, but these labels lie a lot. He may have some potential...

Jay and Kanye

Read this article and tell me if you agree with the conclusion. I don't, but maybe that's just me.

"Jay-Z - 4
Kanye - 6

So, there it is. What’s your take? 6-4 Jay? 7-3 Kanye? Whatever your tally amounts to, one thing’s for sure. It won’t be easy."
