Kanye West blew the top off of this year’s Coachella Music Festival last night. Backed by an unbelievably elaborate set design, Ye performed everything from classic Late Registration cuts to 808s and Heartbreak favorites to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy highlights for his near 2 hour closing set last night. If you weren’t lucky enough [...]

A departure from her candy-land bubblegum videos of the past, Katy Perry goes out-of-this-world for her E.T. video. Directed by Floria Sigismondi, known for her work with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson and Icelandic oddball Bjork, E.T. is all about the dark graphic images, extreme costumes, and the strange Discovery Channel-esque footage of wild animals. Even stranger [...]

Kanye West just made the weekend a whole lot brighter! Sometime late Friday night, Yeezy dropped the music video for his smash brand new smash hit “All Of The Lights.” The track features a whole lot of flashing lights, Kanye, Kid Cudi, and Rihanna (looking absolutely amazing!). The clip was directed by acclaimed video director [...]

The first single, “H.A.M.,” from the upcoming Kanye West and Jay-Z collaboration album Watch The Throne hit the web late last night. For a minute here, lemme try and break this hip-hop all-star collaboration down mathematically. If my numbers are correct, Jay-Z’s record sales sit at over 50 million for his career. Add that to [...]

From the looks of things, Jay-Z’s Las Vegas New Year’s bash was a blast. The video below, captured by a party attendee, shows Jay, Kanye, and Rihanna sippin’ champagne (a bit too much, perhaps?) and toasting the night away. Now I know what you’re thinking: Why would we post a video of a party? Well, [...]

Last night, Kanye dropped a fresh remix of his recent single “Power” on his blog and Twitter account–which has quickly become my favorite thing on Twitter by far. Make no mistake, this remix is REALLY remixed. Not only does he let Jay and Swizz do their thing on top of a hacked up version of [...]

Kanye West premiered a new song off of his upcoming album entitled “See Me Now.” The track features both Beyonce and Charlie Wilson, and is growing on me more and more with every listen. The raps are vintage Kanye, too. My personal fave: “I admit, my first watch was a Fossil. Now I’m in the [...]

Last night, the video for Kanye’s newest single, “Power,” debuted on MTV. In typical Kanye fashion, it’s a very artistic piece, with an obvious ode to Michaelangelo’s  Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings. At only 1 minute and 42 seconds long, it runs only a portion of the song. But as Kanye himself  exclaimed via Twitter, “It’s [...]

The BET Awards, 2010 edition, went on last night from Los Angeles, California. The show had a number of highlights: some were good, some were bad, and some were ugly. The major highlight, for me at least, had to be the undisputed return of Kanye West.  The ever-controversial musician has been hiding in some sort [...]

Either way, we did an informal survey to determine what songs people are thinking about on February 14th, and the results were divided pretty squarely down [...]

The story that’s getting the most buzz online today after last night’s American Music Awards is Jennifer Lopez falling while attempting to leap off the back of a dancer during her big comeback performance. According to The Chicago Sun-Times: During an athletic performance of her new song “Louboutins,” Lopez walked up the backs of five [...]

Kanye West has has a colorful year, what with getting spoofed as a gay fish on South Park and interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs. He’s back in the headlines now for pulling a 14-minute video directed by Spike Jonze from his Website and allegedly being dead. Pulling the video was probably a [...]
