Mr Hudson 'Straight No Chaser' - Review

21 Oct 2009 09:59:09 PDT

Written by thomasmj99
So when I heard that Kanye West had adopted Mr Hudson as a protege, I was extremely surprised. This was more than random, it was absolutely bizarre. What did Kanye West see in this slightly out there, slightly old fashioned indie act from England? Obviously he saw something because Mr H has no...

NEW MUSIC REVIEW: Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3

18 Oct 2009 13:12:34 PDT

Written by locuststreet
At the start of 2009, I honestly felt that it could be the year where hip-hop stole the limelight from other music scenes. Jay-Z’s latest studio album was heavily promoted, rumors ran around Dr. Dre dropping a new album, and Kanye West was potentially going to release a proper rap album durin...

REVIEW: The Delayed Entry EP (Savant of RAREBREED)

07 Oct 2009 21:03:56 PDT

Written by 206up
On Late Registration’s best track, “Gone”, Kanye says he wants to quit the rap game altogether and open a hip-hop school for aspiring emcees, a desire presumably stemming from his perceived lack of rappers properly representing. It’s typical Kanye: a romantic but somewhat misguided pr...

I don't think America created a monster, but it has certainly condoned one by letting Kanye West throw whatever the fuck kind of temper tantrum he wants whenever the fuck he wants. Tonight he received his harshest punishment for that yet - a chorus of boos. Whoop-dee-doo. In fact, it seems alm...

Review: 808s and Heartbreak - Kanye West

10 Apr 2009 17:19:15 PDT

Written by Joseph
For something that feels so obviously like a temporarily shift of attention, a side project, surely it could have been possible to withhold the inappropriate guest appearances and uplifting club bangers for sake of an album as a whole? After all, Kanye is still riding on the mammoth succ...

Written by brycewong
The actual music on the track ranges from Late Registration to 808’s and Heartbreak with most of the songs coming from the latter. The tunes and beats are switched up a bit due in part to the live performance aspect of the album, but the quality of the production doesn’t miss a step thanks to VH...

Album Review: Kanye West's "808s & Heartbreak"

04 Jan 2009 17:48:00 PST

Written by atreuter@gmail.com (Annie)
Using T-Pain's technique for Auto-Tune, 808s & Heartbreak introduces a new side of West. His usual cockiness and danceable tracks are now masked by robotic-like vocals and even more somber lyrics. While the album lacks many of his club-thumping hits from the past, current singles "H...

Opinion: Franz Meets Kanye, Hilarity Ensues

19 Dec 2008 08:15:55 PST

Now, the guys in the band have such high esteem for Kanye...but we must say, Kanye did ask Franz singer Alex Kapranos for some singing tips. Alex told him to not to have conversations in noisy places, to not smoke, and to stay away from the spirits. Spirits?" Kanye said. "Like, ghosts?"

Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak: Review

29 Nov 2008 17:22:19 PST

Written by DocZeus(noreply@blogger.com)
Let’s just say I was wrong about this one. I’ll admit it. When I first heard, “Love Lockdown” I assumed Mr. West had officially decided he was too good for hip hop (and thus forever was leaving us to hobnob with Bono and Coldplay and ignore his hip hop roots as if he were Terrence Howard. I mean could...

Written by Jesse Gissen
Dash losing his marbles might explain why he's being rather open about the personal relationship between Kanye West and Jay-Z. In the December issue of Complex, Dash reveals that West "hates" Jay-Z for snubbing him during a Roc-A-Fella chain ceremony at a 2003 concert in Chicago.

Opinion: The “Thriller” Remixes: Kanye, Akon, Will.i.am and Fergie Try to Top the Chipmunks’ “Beat It”

20 Dec 2007 16:45:18 PST

Written by Daniel Kreps
The five much-ballyhooed remixes from Michael Jackson’s twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Thriller have hit the Web. First up, there’s Will.i.am/Fergie’s take on “Beat It,” which is pretty solid, if only because it reminds us of the Alvin & The Chipmunks version of the song. Alvin a...

So here's 50 Cent and Kanye West, right on time for Tuesday's much-anticipated releases of Curtis and Graduation, on the cover of the Sept. 20 Rolling Stone. Brings back fond memories of Britain's Battle Of Fall 1995, in which the unapologetically mercenary, loudly populist Oasis and the...

Common - Finding Forever: Album Review

19 Jul 2007 22:22:49 PDT

Written by Bol
I WANT YOU A duet between Common and Kanye about the part of Chicago where they lived before they could afford otherwise. Works a rock sample not unlike "The Takeover," but way more repetitive and hence grating. THE GAME BEST TRACKS: "The People" "So Far to Go" BONUS VIDEO: "The People"
