RUNAWAY.

I feel the need to comment on Kanye's new movie/music video. This is a hate it or love it situation (like most Kanye situations) but I have a strong love for this video...for a couple of reasons.

1. For Ye to direct such a lengthy film, with a really creative plot, shows how much of an artist he really is. I think the reason why I love Kanye sooooo much is because he truly is an INNOVATIVE artist, from being a backpack rapper in 2003, to going left field with 808's and heartbreaks, to making a 35 minute musical film. Innovate is a word that is thrown around too lightly, but it fits Mr.West.

2. The video is just visually stunning. The landscapes, lighting, colors...magnificent.

3. Previewing those new tracks that are dropping November 22 on his album "My Dark Twisted Fantasy"...all of them were sosososo dope.

4. Selita Ebanks is bad...even as a parrot.

The only part I wasn't crazy about was the actual "Runaway" part. Ballet was too lengthy.



Whether you think the film is great or not, Kanye is making HISTORY.

live fast and die young...

hola mamacitas y papis. sorry for the pause on ladydangerr, i was in vegas all last week celebrating life & the big 2-1. do i need to say it was the pure insanity?

David LaChapelle

David LaChapelle's newest exhibit opens today at Chelsea’s Paul Kasmin Gallery. Some pictures feature Michael Jackson in biblical scenes.

I don't know what to think of these pictures in particular..but I do love LaChapelle. Read the interview with David LaChappelle at Women's Wear Daily.

amber+kanye

Amber nd Ye made me realize that it's possible to have a crush on a COUPLE. too bad they broke up...these are some previously unreleased pics taken by Terry Richardson.

sweeet life

rick ross ft john legend- sweet life

rick ross just doesn't do it for me. he needs talented people to saturate all his tracks so he can seem like he's dope...but really at the end of the day, he's just a big fat phony (literally).

aloha

sorry I fell off. it was my birfday.

Weezy gives sex advice

new cudi ft kanye

Kid Cudi + Kanye West are two dudes I enjoy more than most...but I think this song has to grow on me more. Yeah I can just like it because it's Cudi & Ye but would I like this song if it was say....Kevin Rudolf? It's verrrrrry pop. Like SIMPLE PLAN pop.

This stuff always grows on me though. ^_^

And then supposedly Big Sean announced on Twitter that his, Cudi's, and Kanye's albums will all drop the same day September 14. A good day in G.O.O.D music history. I don't see why it would hurt any of their album sales.

Kid Cudi ft Kanye West- Erase Me

Love King

The-Dream's third album "Love King" drops today. The-Dream has been getting on my nerves lately, especially after that interview talking about Ciara failing....but I love his two earlier albums.

Ski Beatz, thank you for blessing this world with another dope beat.
This track is leaked off of Curren$y's "Pilot Talk" which should be dropping soon, they keep fucking up the release date soo..

Pursuit of Happiness.

Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" has made it's way onto my FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME LIST. Yes its "old" (whatthefuckever) but I need to "revive" it and share all the amazing covers/remixes I find of this song. From indie to dance, this song translates beautifully in any genre.



Steve Aoki's cover to "Pursuit of Happiness" was featured in a Vitamin Water commerical. ::fist pump:: Really, AMAZING dance cover.


On the flipside, this is more of a Jack Johnson swag...totally gives the song a more chill feel. This cover is done by Barbara, an indie group from Cali.


This is the cover that inspired me to write this post. This girl, Lissie totally matches the energy of the original and gives it some mind blowing twist.

The highlight of this years BET Awards 2010 was HANDS DOWN Chris Brown's tribute to Michael Jackson. He can dance like nobody's business. I don't know how he could have sang to "Man in the Mirror" WITHOUT crying after all the things he has been through.

Team Breezy!

today marks a year from the death of the incredible Michael Jackson.

 

to be honest, i never really took much attention to MJ until he died. when listening to his songs vs. songs today, it is SO obvious the impact and inspiration he has still put on music today. for someone so mind blowingly talented and amazing it's such a shame the things he had to go through in his life. no matter what genre of music you are into...it's so easy to love Michael.

Happy Birthday Tupac

Today would have been Tupac Shakur's 39th birthday.


Still, so young. Younger than Jay-Z. For the short time he was here, he has made an incredible impact on artists today. It's crazy to think what Tupac would be like in today's society....I feel like the whole game would be different.

you can thank me......now.

Today is the day I have been waiting for ever since I feel in love with Drake's "So Far Gone." If you live under a rock, Drake's debut album "Thank Me Later (TML)" drops today. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the fiends) the entire album leaked about 2 weeks ago so anybody who wanted to hear it...already has. I don't know...I feel like the album will still go platnium for sure, I'm not so sure if it's gonna be in a week, but well see.
After really listening to this alnum for two weeks...I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I think reason being is that I'm not sure about who Drake is musically. His consistency is a little off. Also, for Drake fans like myself, I put TML to a very high standard. With soooo much hype and hip-hop heavyweights on the album such as producers Kanye West, Timbaland, and Swizz Beatz, and collabs with Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, and Lil Wayne...how could you not have high standards?
One thing I love about Drake is how real he keeps it. "The Resistance" totally tears any guard down that Drake once (or never) had, and shares some of himself with his fans. Lines like "plus this women that I mess with unprotected txt me saying she wish she woulda kept it/ the one I’m laying next to just looked over and read it" leave him exposed...how could that not be true. Song reminds me of "Say What's Real"..from "So Far Gone"
On the flipside, "Miss Me" featuring Lil Wayne....came off a lil weak to me. They have had MUCH better songs together (Ignant Shit, Ransom). That weren't even on albums. Pretty dissapointing.
Also, he is still a freshman. He gave NO love to any of the new kids but Nicki Minaj. Get off your high horse and get Kid Cudi, anybody from Young Money, or somebody on the album. IDK.

Overall...I'd give the album a 7 out of 10. Anything Drake does I love, and the album keeps growing on me. I'm judging this album looking at it as a DEBUT album that had more than enough support...it could have been better. Either way, I do like it.

So if you were scheming like me and downloaded the album...you owe Drake. GO get the album. And if you didn't....go get the album ;).

Drake in the New York Times

Drake was recently featured in the NYT music section, with a detailed story on how he went from "Jimmy" from Degrassi to "Drizzy Drake". VERY interesting, I encourage you to read it. I love drake and found out really interesting things. He doesn't hold back..

     "The New Orleans rap star Lil Wayne heard Drake’s music in the summer of 2008 and invited him    out on the road. “I sat in the same place on the bus for a week,” Drake recalled. “I was scared.” Wayne only found out about Drake’s acting past when he landed on “Degrassi” while flipping channels on the bus’s television."

Read the entire NYT Times article, and the verse Drake dedicated to his short-lived relationship with Rihanna on his new album "Thank Me Later" and the actual song and lyrics .... after the jump.
