Jay-Z Unveils “Watch The Throne” At Exclusive Listening Session (BET.com)

For Jay-Z, Watch the Throne is showing his growth. Not so much musically but, moreso, personally. See, Jay has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to rap. That’s no secret. But now he is so established in his career, his new lyrics seem to be about his bigger purpose.  There are moments on WTT when Jay makes more references to Jesus than he ever has before, and there was a line or two, or three, about being “Black,” which has never been a secret, but Blackness has never been played up by him on such a socio-political level (see the tentatively titled  “No Church”).  Maybe Kanye is helping him bring out a deeper sense of religion.

Kanye West and the Paparazzi…a match made in heaven

I really don't know what to think anymore about Kanye and the paparazzi. They are like the yin and the yang, the way they coexist. A match made in heaven.

Kanye’s Anger Management Blog…sigh.

Yes, I too am very entertained by Kanye's (note: the photo above is not of Steve Urkell, but KW) blog posts. But it really serves as evidence as to why artists need publicists. His latest entry dismisses the rumors that he is going to anger management, in his very unique Kany-esque way. He titles his … Continue reading Kanye’s Anger Management Blog…sigh.

Admin Kanye West, Prodigy, R. Kelly, Tank

Why??

  A little poem that I call "Why?" Why is Prodigy rappin' in all these different languages? It's actually not him but a new voice technology that translates his words for him. It sounds stupid. Why would he want to sound stupid? Why. Why is Kanye's new video Flashing Lights just shameless promotion for a … Continue reading Why??
