As Most Will Already Know, The King Of Pop; Michael Jackson Is Set To Re-Release The Best Selling Album Of All Time, This Time Entitled; Thriller 25.

The album will contain some original recordings, as well as brand new remixes, here is Billie Jean which features production from Kanye West. This sounds real hot, but whether it's better than the original I'm not sure.

I can't wait for this album to drop, I have had my eye on this one for months. Check out the track below & let me know what you think?

Feeling The Track?

Firstly, I'm Not The First One To Notice This Girl, So No Hating On My Lateness Please!

Kid Sister is a new female MC from Chicago, as you can tell from this track, she has the backing of Mr Kanye West. But even without this huge push, she still is massive style & an awesome flow, she reminds me of Lil' Mama in a good way.

I assume Pro Nails is not her first track, but it's the first I've come across & I like it, the video is slick, as is the production. Check out the video below & I would love to know what you make of her? If you want to know more, you can check out her Myspace by clicking Here.

Homecoming Is Reported To Be Kanye's 3rd UK Single, While The US Will Be Getting Flashing Lights As Theirs.

While this is a solid enough track, I really feel there is so much better to come from Graduation, I'm really not sure why this one was chosen Still, I won't hate on it because it is a good track, even if Chris Martin is on it.

Here's hoping that this one disappears real quick, so he can release Champion. Check out Homecoming below, if you don't already have the album.

Sorry About The Lack Of Posts Of Late, Not A Huge Amount Going On To Be Honest.

Just thought I would post up a cool remix of "Alicia Keys'" chart topping hit "No One", this features a new verse from current king of Hip-Hop "Kanye West". Nothing to spectacular here, but it is pretty cool none the less.


Speaking of Kanye, after the demise of his Mother last weekend, he proceeded to perform in Paris, but it may have been a little too early for him. Ye proved to be a little shaky, then near the end of the performance he prepared to preform "Hey Mama", at which point he broke down under the spotlight, in floods of tears. He was forced to leave the stage, but returned 15 minutes later with the aptly named "Stronger". Much Love To Kanye!

R.I.P Donda West...

Posted In: , , . By M@rk

The Mother & Inspiration Of Hip-Hop's Favorite Son "Kanye West" Has Sadly & Unexpectedly Died After 'Complications' From Cosmetic Surgery.

Donda West was responsible for raising Mr West alone from the age of 3, Kanye has always been extremely close to his mother & her influence was accredited to helping make him such a success. His love & respect for his 'Mama' was documented in his 2005 heartwarming track "Hey Mama".

Apart from supporting Kanye in his career, Donda was also a well respected academic, who was head of English at Chicago State University, before leaving the position to concentrate her efforts in helping Kanye. She served as Kanye's Manager, as well as writing & releasing her own book entitled "Raising Kanye".

Friend & mentor "Jay Z" ask for a moment of silence at a performance on Saturday night, saying; "We Got You Kanye, Stay Strong". Ye is due to start touring the UK in 10 days time, this may obviously be delayed or canceled as a result of such sad news. At the time of her death Kanye was in the UK, reportedly shooting the video for his next single; "Flashing Lights".

The West family made a short statement saying they; "Respectfully ask for privacy during this time of grief".

I have great respect for Kanye & I think that he is strong enough to take anything life throws at him, still, this is going to be a massive loss for him & I send all the love in the world to him & his family. I hope that the press can now leave them alone & let them deal with this as they need to.

For those who need a little reminding of Kanye's love for his 'Mama', listen to his tribute track below.

Yup! Yet Another "Chris Brown" Leak, This One Is Produced By & Features "Kanye West".

"Down" is a very catchy track with an extremely hot hook & beat, although it's not as 'immediate' as "Kiss Kiss" I'm definitely checking for this one, I think it's hot. Not a big Chris Brown fan, but this album might actually be worth a listen, very commercial, but I like it.


Just a thought, the hook on this track follows the same vocal arrangement as the "4 Non-Blondes" 1993 smash hit "What's Up", if you need a reminder of the lyrics click
here. You can sing the lyrics over this track's hook, they match almost perfectly.

It What Seems To Be A 'Sore-Loser' Sort Of Move, Rapper "50 Cent" Has cancelled His Entire European Performance & Promotion Tour.

Fiddy was due to perform at the UK's "MOBO Awards" on Wednesday night, but now he has called off his entire European appearances because of quote; "Unforeseen Circumstances".

Obviously, this has nothing to do with the fact that "Kanye" beat his ass in the album charts this week. Will He Quit Music, No! Should He?, Let Me Know What You Guys Think?

Is Fiddy Giving Up,
You Decide?


As The Over Hyped, Over Worked, Over Planned Rivalry Of "50 Cent" & "Kanye West" Continues, Both Parties Were invited Into "BET's"; "106 & Park".

"MTV" also invited both artists to appear on "TRL" but Mr West declined, he has promised never to have dealings with them again after he received no awards at the recent "VMAs". [cough] Pathetic!

While in the studio, both Fiddy & Kanye performed a track from their respective albums, check out the video of Kanye with his 'Brother'; "Jay Z". I heard 'Ye describe this track as his "Best Material", I'm not quite convince to that extent but I like the song all the same, & the special guest appearance was a very cool addition.

Here's The Performance:



In other news, it appears that "Graduation" is outselling "Curtis" by over 100,000 copies, I don't believe for 1 second that Fiddy is going to quit music, I think the whole 'beef' situation is bull ishh.

To Continue The Huge Influx Of New Videos This Week, "Kanye" Has Premiered His New Video, Featuring 'Mr Auto Tuner'; "T-Pain".

The video is a little strange, although Kanye has never been plain, it doesn't do much to compliment the track, nor does it have that addictive quality like the video for "Stronger".

Still, It is good to finally see 'Mr West' moving on with his album, I know I heard Stronger weeks before it hit the radio, but damn that tracks getting old. Check Out The Video Below & Let Me Know What You Think Of It?

After Running My Vote To See Who You Guy's Think Are The Hottest Female Artists Around, The Results Are In.

Throughout, there has only been two contenders for the title, but with a majority of only 1% "Beyonce" beats "Rihanna" to gain the award for the 'Hottest Chick In The Game'.

While B often gets slammed by critics for pumping out singles too quickly, it is evident that she still holds love from the people & will continue to reign as 'Queen Of R&B' for some time to come.

Next, I want your opinion on a straight battle between two albums, yeah you guessed it, "Kanye West's - Graduation" VS "50 Cent's - Curtis". I have had so many comments on who you guys think is better, but I want a fair vote to see who you think is the current 'King Of Hip-Hop'.

I have heard both albums & am almost ready to give my opinion in my reviews, expect them sometime in the coming week.

As The "Kanye West" - "50 Cent" Rivalry Continues To Raise Interest In Both Albums, The Media Machines Have Gone To Work & Have Got Both Artists Featured In "Rolling Stone".



I think the cover has massive impact, I'm really feeling it, & the image is legit, Kanye wanted to make clear that it has Not been photoshopped. Recently 50 has apparently pulled out of his now infamous claim to quit music, talking in a recent interview he is quoted as saying: "Did I Really Say That?".

On a musical front, I will be listening & comparing both albums & giving my opinion on them soon, first impressions of both records surprised me, Kanye's is full of hard hitting lyrics & clever, emotional tracks. While fiddy has a more 'club' album, with hot production & even hotter collaborations, I thought that this was going to be a hands down victory for Ye, but now I might be doubting my original views, keep it locked, full reviews on the way.

Here Is A Bonus Track Featured On The Retail Version Of "Kanye's" Soon To Be Released Album; "Graduation".

Although not as solid as some of the tracks, this is still a pretty cool sound, definately not a single but pretty cool none the less. This one features long time friends "
Lupe" & "Pharrell", it's a little slow but would sound good as the 'closer' on the album. Let Me Know What You Make Of It?

Uh Huh, Another "Kanye" Track Has Leaked From "Graduation", A Few More & We'll Have The Whole Album. Ha!

This one feature's "ColdPlay's" "Chris Martin", a firm favourite for guest vocals, I guess it's the squeaky voice. The mid-tempo track is feeling a little slow for my liking, not one of Kanye's best, a decent, solid track all the same, I can't wait for Graduation to drop, bring it on "Fiddy".

LISTEN: "Kanye West ft. Chris Martin - Homecoming"

Love To Know What You Guy's Make Of This,
Let Me Know?


Yeah, It's Been A Slow Day In The World Of Urbantainment, Just Thought I'd Show You Guys A Pic That I Thought Was Hilarious.

This shot was taken at the "Screamfest" concert tour, which reached NY yesterday (22nd), in a rare & unexpected colab appearance from "Jay Z", "Diddy", "Kanye" & "50". I'm sure the photo was just taken at the wrong time, still, fiddy looks awful lonely over there by himself. Ha.


What Do You Make Of The Shot, & The Whole 'Fiddy, Kanye Stuff'
Let Me Know?


Unless You Have Been Under A Rock For The Last Few Weeks You Will Be Aware Of The "50 Cent", "Kanye" Beef.

Basically, Fiddy reckons that his album will out sell Kanye's, both being released on September the11th (US), If it doesn't then he promises never to make another solo record again (Let's Pray). Film makers "Eric & Jeff Rosenthal" have made this video to clear up the whole situation, if you like the "Dave Chapelle" "Lil Jon" stuff, then you will most likely love this.

"Scurge Of The Seas" Lol,
Like It?



Man Of The Moment "Kanye West" Joined "Radio 1" & "MTV" Presenter "Tim Westwood" On His Hip-Hop Show This Past Weekend.

While in the studio, he aired 2 tracks from his new album; "Big Brother" & "Champion", both tracks are hot, I'm really feeling Brother lyrically, while the production on Champion is sounding on-point. Kanye told Westwood that Brother was about his relationship with close friend & fellow rapper "Jay Z".


In other Kanye news, it looks as though there could be a club remix of "Stronger" on the cards, produced by none other than the king himself; "Timbaland", although 'Ye' is a brilliant producer, he told MTV that Stronger just didn't bounce in the clubs like a Timbo joint. He admitted while in the studio with Tim: "I Had To Bow In The Presence Of Greatness".

I am so looking forward to "Graduation" when it drops in the UK on September 10th (US 11th), everything I have heard so far has been hot, I think he is going to blow "50" out of the water.

Can't Wait For Graduation,

Producer, Turned Rapper "Kanye West" Will Tonight Put His Hand To Television Presenting As He Takes Over UK Comedy Show; "The Friday Night Project".


Kanye is generally a really funny guy, he always seems genuine & down to earth, but how he will tackle British comedy I'm not quite sure. Still, it will be very cool to see him take on the presenting role & I'm sure he will do well, plus it can only help his profile grow in the UK.

I urge you to grab a copy of "Graduation" when it hits stores on September 10th (UK), I ask for a very good reason. "50 Cent" has declared that if Graduation sells more copies than "Curtis", he will stop making solo material for ever. Good Times.

Check Out Kanye On The Friday Night Project, On Channel 4 (UK), Tonight At 10.30.

How Do You Think Kanye Will Do,
Let Me Know?



Here Is A New Leaked Track From "Kanye's" Up-Coming LP, "Graduation".

Although 'Ye' promised that there would be no guest vocals from Rappers on his album, it does appear that man of the moment "Lil Wayne" has made the cut. This new track, which is not going to be the next single, is named after renowned baseball player "Barry Bonds", apparently because Kanye thinks it will be so big, it will make a 'Home Run'.

Not so sure about this one, first time I heard "Stronger" it 'infected' me with it's beat & flow, this track just does nothing for me, maybe it will be a grower, who knows. The edition of 'Weezy' can only be a good thing, I'm really loving this guy at the moment, but it would be better to hear some solo material rather than another collaboration.

UK Talent Show Winner "Leona Lewis" Is Set To Drop Her Debut Album At The End Of The Year.

As the time gets closer, info is slowly leaking out regarding the highly anticipated release, now "MTV" are reporting that Rap superstar "Kanye West" has lent his hand to the record. Whether he has been rapping or producing for Lewis is unclear & I would like to stress that this hasn't been confirmed by either party, but it's great news all the same.

Some critics are very sceptical to endorse material by a talent contest winner, but I think Leona will blow up in an extreme way. She has been working with the production team that are also working on "Whitney's" comeback, I think she could be the UK's first R&B superstar & will represent for us on a world scale.

As More Info Is Released, I Will Of Course Keep You Updated.
