· Comment


BLUEPRINT 3 from kwest on Vimeo

Bet­ter late than never. It seems like Jay-Z did a cameo and joined Kanye at the lat­ter end of the Glow in the Dark Tour in Madi­son Square Gar­den (August 6, 2008). Then, after their per­for­mance of Jockin’ Jay-Z, Jay-Z announces his next project, Blue­print 3. Sick.

Props to Andy Sam­berg and Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and their ser­e­nade to Iran­ian Pres­i­dent Mah­moud Ahmadine­jad. Thanks for the laugh. Oh, props to Fred Armisen too as he played the Pres­i­dent haha =D

PS. Here’s another cool, funny skit with Mr. West…

Kanye West, co-starring: Rihanna, N.E.R.D, and Lupe Fiasco

Awe­some show. I went to the San Jose HP Pavil­ion one this past Sat­ur­day, 4/19th. Too bad I missed most of Lupe’s. Oh well, I guess I just have to roll and see him in a smaller venue.

Any­ways, this is a dope show/concert to go to—well worth the money and time. I scored an awe­some 4-star VIP tix and sat Front-2, Row-10, Seat-14 right dead-smack cen­ter and aisle.

Every­one was on point w/ their per­for­mances… and didn’t say the wrong city =) (I read that Kanye said “Seat­tle” up in the Sacra­mento Arco Arena show 4/18th)—no love for the Kings haha

Don’t Sleep on Late Registration

Kanye West - Late Registration

I have to admit, Kanye “did it again” (as Jay-Z would say). Another one for the record books. A CD that you can actu­ally buy and not stress if its worth the money or not. I had the oppor­tu­nity to lis­ten to it, and was impressed and amazed. Each track… each track, OMG… its really hard to describe the feel­ing that you get when you’re lis­ten­ing to this album. The only solu­tion is for you to lis­ten to it on your own. Bot­tom­line, go cop it in-stores tomorrow.

If you are look­ing for books and order­ing through Amazon.com, its $10.99 there… click here to add it to your cart.

yes yes… one of the best pro­duc­ers alive, as well as some­one who brings more to this pos­i­tive ele­ment peo­ple call “hip-hop”… kanye west, has just dropped his “offi­cial” debut cd col­lege dropout. i say “offi­cial” because he had another release early decem­ber 2003. that “advance” release were re-mastered/re-mixed on his “offi­cial” from what i’m hear­ing. here’s the track list­ing from the “advance” cd:

01 intro [01:18]
02 self con­scious [03:06]
03 jesus walks (intro) [00:49]
04 jesus walks [03:30]

14 kanye west feat. jay-z & saul williams-never let you do [04:30]
15 home (bonus) [04:02]

all-in-all, this album is some­thing dif­fer­ent. made myself lis­ten to it, as well as ana­lyze the damn song (lyrics and beats). i can truly say beats, rhyme, and reason—hands down, one of the best hiphop (solo-artist) debut CD i ever bought and enjoyed in a while (maybe even since wyclef’s Car­ni­val). as he said on mtv, vh1, and bet… go down­load it wherever/however you can—and if you like it, support…buy it! i guar­an­tee that you will.
