I just watched a few videos from the VH1 Kanye West Storytellers and he really is an amazing performer. I have seen him live more than any other artist and I'm so excited for the next chance, however, I'm not sure at all if that will happen with his 808's and Heartbreaks album since he's diving deep into the fashion world at the moment. I'm not particularily thrilled at that idea because I'm that type of person that thinks it's cool for people to branch out a bit but to focus mainly on what they do best. Although I think Kanye certainly has fashion sense I don't necessarily think he's a fashion mogul so leave it to the big boys like Uncle Karl and Marc Jacobs.
Instead, keep making greatness like this below (you may need to downlowd hot shield to watch it... sorry):
GOD I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH LIVE! AND THOSE FLASHING LIGHTS!?!
Chairlfit did this first Kanye...
...but I have to admit you did it better.
Check out the video below for "Welcome to Heartbreak". Absolutely love this song and the video matches so well. Thank god this is out as you could tell with when I heard that the next release was See You In My Nightmares as per my post below. Apparently, Amazing's release is still in the works too as per PerezHilton.com (yay!). I think I meant Amazing in my post below with RIhanna and not Paranoid... it's all so confusing really.
Oh, also, if you have not read the new Kanye West interview in Details then you must. He is gold. Just amazing the shit that flies outta his mouth! Click here to read it.
You also must get this (Max Justus Remixes of 8 tracks off 808's & Heartbreak)! Thanks www.hardcandymusic.com!
I don't know how I feel about this being the next single from Kanye West's 808's & Heartbreaks. This was probably one of my non-favourite tracks on the album but perhaps Kanye has a plan with this track. It'll be another Jesus Walks where it wasn't a song I was particularily fond of but ended up being some artistic comment that everyone else busts a nut over. Maybe this track being a single will make me like it more and could that be his plan? Who knows. However, what happened to Paranoid being the next release with a new duet with Rihanna? I love Paranoid. Maybe that was pushed back due to Rihanna and Chris Brown "Breaking Dishes" on the weekend of the Grammy's. I'm sure she'll rise a phoenix after the sad situation which will definitely help the release hit the charts impressively when it is indeed marked a single. Chris on the other hand will be standing in line to buy his express ticket to career suicide (thank God because I never liked his bullshit music and dancing anyways). Sorry... this post was meant to be about Kanye West... also Lil' Wayne is featured on this track (please refer to my previous post about Lady GaGa on my thoughts about Lil' Wayne). Again... this post is about Kanye.

Kanye West Mixtape that is King of all Mixtapes! Very late on this one but if you haven't gotten it yet then you best get it here!
I cannot believe that I haven't bought Kanye's new album yet but I am somewhat holding out on the special holiday edition... however, I haven't been able to find online what makes it different or special. Anybody can clue me in on this? BTW Kanye's new album is the shit! Absolutely amazing and one of the year's best! Get that as well!
Check out the full DiscoTech Remix of Homecoming featuring Chris Martin. This is included on the mixtape.
Seems like we're going to be able to almost preview the entire new Kanye album before it even comes out. Check out Coldest Winter from the upcoming 808 & Heartbreak released very soon by Mr. West. Love the Tears for Fears sound. My buddy said that this tune is about his mother's recent death... sad.
And I call myself a Kanye fan. Oh well better late than never with this posting even though you all probably have seen it posted somewhere else. Here it is. Kanye's new video for Love Lockdown. I'm also including some rad remixes I've found too! Enjoy 'em all.
Man so hot that I'm up. You up on Stay Up (Viagra)!?! Check out the tune by 88-Keys featuring Kanye West. Thanks peyv for sendin this my way.
