Kanye West “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”

By now, I am sure you have heard at least SOMETHING about Kanye’s new album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.  Well there has been some “Kan”troversy surround one of the covers for the album.  Apparently one of the images was banned.  I’m not sure WHO actually banned the cover but Kanye seems to be taking it well.  The controversy is probably a great thing for Kanye though.  I am sure more people will be curious about the album, the new covers and all the music and videos for the album due to the banned cover.  Props to Kanye for creating this environment with the leaks, the short film and the cover art.  Even if you don’t like the music or understand the odd videos and outfits, you got to respect his “marketing” for the album.  Check out the banned cover below, cover version two and the track list for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.  I also included some of the songs that are supposed to be featured on the album so you can hear just what Kanye’s album is sounding like.  Happy Monday.

W.ants W.orld W.omen

I wanted to give everyone a taste of something a little different today.  The J Dilla and SV affiliate, Dwele, dropped his new album, W.ants W.orld W.omen, on Tuesday and I have listened a couple times.  I was first introduced to Dwele back in high school when he opened for Slum Village at The Granada in Lawrence, Kansas.  It was kind of crazy because no one really knew who he was.  I had this song called “Too Fly” that I still love to this day.  Anyway, his new album sounds pretty good.  I’m not a huge Dwele fan but I like some of his stuff for sure.  I really like a lot of the production on his new album.  Slum Village makes a nice features as done David Banner and DJ Quik.  It’s a nice change of pace from the onslaught of hip hop that I have been listening too.  I definitely think it’s worth a few listens.  Dwele is also featured on Kanye’s new single, Power.  Dwele is looking like Kanye’s go to guy for singles.  Flashing Lights and now Power.  Very cool.

Power

It was only right to post a Kanye and Amber picture especially with the release of the new Kanye jam, Power.  Kanye CLEARLY has too much power when he starts singing in autotune, rockin sweet haircuts and dating females like her but after hearing his new joint, Power, he is forgiven.  Not only is he forgiven, if he was here right now, I would give him a big high five because Power is CRAZY.  His new album, Good Ass Job should hit stores later this year and I promise it will be crazy.  DJ Premier, Pete Rock and Rza are all rumored to be working on it.  Sounds like Kanye took my advice and went back to making that real hip hop shit.  Anyway, this is an incredible return for Yeezy and I must say, I feel like a proud dad.  Check out Power below.  Good shit Ye.
