I missed the Grammys…by design.
I don’t know what the big fuss is with M.I.A. performing while preggers. I mean, what’s the worst that could happen? The baby’s first word could be “swagger” but it’s no reason to be up in arms. Right?
The performance wasn’t that great.
What in the name of S-Curl is going on with Kanye’s hair?
Okay, so maybe it’s more like a cult classic. I don’t really understand what the appeal is because the acting is terrible (save for Sho’Nuff because I think Julius Carry did a wonderful job lol). But there’s just something about this movie that holds me captive. Sho’Nuff is one of my favorite movie characters EVER. There are rumors that there is a remake in the works with Samuel L. Jackson playing Sho’Nuff. If this is true, my life will be complete*.
This scene is one of my favorites in this cheesy movie. It’s definitely not Sho’Nuff’s most famous scene but I appreciate it.
Who plays this garbage? … Shut up, bitch! *Kicks in jukebox* -The meanest, prettiest, baddest mo-fo low down around this town, SHO’NUFF, the Shogun of Harlem.
Sometimes, when I hear Soulja Boy on the radio or see one of his videos on tv, I want to kick the somtheing, so I understand Sho’Nuff’s reaction to the audio garbage.
Another one, just because:
Let’s take a moment to appreciate that Sho’Nuff was rocking shutter shades before Kanye West was on it. Stronger glasses=Sho’Nuff glasses.
This song must be crack because I’m addicted.
I have my gripes with DJ Khaled and his gratuitous use of the word “nigga”. But Kanye goes hard.
It’d be easy to make jokes about this song but I think it’s likeable enough to be getting along with.
On this day we become legendary
Everything we dreamed of
It's been great but...it's time to go.
Jeezy, T.I. and Ludacris joined forces to rally voters in support of Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jim Martin. Sadly Martin lost the race to Republican Saxby Chambliss (who has the greatest name ever). But it’s nice to see rappers show some continued interest in politics. That’s a good job fellas.
What the hell was Plaxico Burress thinking?! He shot himself in the leg? That’s no way to accrue street cred. Shot himself accidentally in the leg and now he’s suspended for the rest of the season. And Bloomberg is not happy.
That’s bad for Giants fans…
Kanye West wants to intern at Louis Vuitton? I’m all for following your dreams but seriously, I can’t imagine Kanye being an intern anywhere. Maybe he will shadow some designers and learn about the business but he will not be doing the grunt work of an intern. That’s just plain silly.
I have listened to the majority of Kanye’s new album. I was hellbent on hating it. I swear I was. But, I enjoyed it fully. Can’t wait to go and buy it tomorrow. I know that I could have ordered it on the net somewhere but like a true music fiend, I enjoy the occassional trip to the record store. I’ll be back in Houston tomorrow so I can visit my favorite store.
Can’t wait! Home and Kanye in one day. Should be amazing!
Went to dinner and a movie with my girls today. We saw Quantum of Solace. This was my first time actually watching a James Bond movie. I didn’t think that Daniel Craig was James Bond type sexy but he did a really good job. Apparently the first one was better. I wouldn’t know because I have no standard of comparison. With any movie franchise that is as big as this I think that it is really easy to fail to give adequate background info. And if I had to pick a flaw, that would be it. Without my friend whispering in my ear, I would not have understood the relationships that carried over from the first movie.
All in all it was enjoyable. Here’s the trailer.
In other news, the Lakers finally lost a game. Kanye West was arrested again for an incident with a paparazzo. And the Celtics lost. There was a lot going on today.
T.I. ft. Kanye West, Jay Z, and Lil Wayne
I found it on Kanye’s Blog. I got so excited when I saw the post….then I listened to the song. I have all kinds of love for Kanye, Jay Z and T.I. and I guess I tolerate Lil’ Wayne. But, this was a miss for me. It might have hit without the auto-tune vocoder shit but Weezy just WON’T stop with that ish and Kanye seems to have seriously joined the bandwagon.
If there was no autotune on this track, it would have hit for real because they all have hot lines in their verses. But that vocoder ish is the devil. T.I. and Jay Z seem to have taken this seriously while Kanye and Weezy…pulled a Cher with the vocoder crap. But the more I listen…the better it sounds. I just can’t condone the vocoder/auto-tune in hip hop.
Just one Black woman’s opinion.
ft. Kanye West and André 3000 and I believe it is produced by Sa-Ra
Until now I’d only heard snippets of the song and then I spotted the video at Kanye’s Blog. So dope and fun. Please peep the guys getting their Doo-wop/Four Tops/Stylistics on in the video. Somebody give my boy Kanye a tad of rythym. He looks like he used my Uncle Sunny as a body double. I swear Unc was doing the same dance at the family reunion. Just jokes…y’all know I love Kanye.
Apparently Bentley is signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music label. I heard a rumor a while ago that the label was defunct. I hope not. Other artists on the label roster include John Legend, Common, Consequence, Really Doe and Sa-Ra. Good music indeed.
My love for Kanye West kind of caught me off guard. I never considered myself a huge fan of the guy but then I saw him live and I realized that I did admire his self-assured air. Anyway, this is just a video list of my favorite Kanye West moments.
5. He knows exactly what he deserves. And he’s not afraid to claim it.
4. Part of being successful in whatever industry you are a part of is believing that you are the best and projecting this belief onto others.
3. Kanye gracefully handled his “battle” with 50 Cent. It could have turned into something very negative but it was all in good fun.
2. Kanye knows how to have fun and still maintain his self-assured air. Here’s Kanye letting us all know how to “Be Kanye”.
1. Everyone’s favorite Kanye moment…
