Kanye West: MBDTF

---

So today, Kanye West dropped his new album, titled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I've been listening to this album for a few weeks now, and let me be the first to say it is truly an amazing piece of work. Kanye has taken all his pent up emotion/ frustration with himself and his surroundings, and twisted it into something innovative and unique.

In my opinion, his best album yet...

Make sure you check out the Complex Magazine article about the making of this album, and check out a review of the album over at the Rolling Stone.

Oh yea. Don't forget to download the album and listen to it non-stop.

Daft Punk- Derezzed video

Here's a "music video" (kinda) for what I'm guessing is the title track off the new Tron: Legacy soundtrack. I'm a sucker for anything Daft Punk, so as you can imagine, I'm PUMPED for this movie to come out.  THE MUSIC WILL MAKE THIS MOVIE!

Gotta love the Daft Punk cameos in the video, hopefully they'll make a few appearances in the movie as well...

Kanye West- Runaway (Directed by Kanye West)

If you have not already, go over to kanyewest.com and WATCH HIS MOVIE! Once again, Kanye goes above and beyond, and brings us something different. Unsure of what to expect, I was completely taken aback by the quality of this flick. Great symbolism throughout the whole thing.

Watch it HERE

Once again,

Kanye you blew my mind.

This video makes me wish i went to Coachella...

Watch in HD for full effect

Here's a pretty amazing time-lapse video of Coachella 2010. The tilt-shift style of photography gives it a dreamy, toy-like feel. Wow.  It doesn't even look real no matter how many times I watch it.


The coolest part is when it gets dark, and all the lights and colors awake from their slumber.

I WILL BE THERE NEXT YEAR.

Ed. Note: I stumbled across this awhile back and meant to blog about it, but apparently Giz beat me to the punch...

Mumford & Sons- Little Lion Man

Another foot stomper from Mumford & Sons. The way they combine bluegrass elements with the distinguishable scruffy English voice is magnificent. Not too many banjos in Britain, I'm assuming...


Listen to some more of their music (YouTube). Pretty rockin' stuff.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes- Home

Try not to tap your foot to this song. It's impossible.

I'm loving the old footage used in this video.  The song kind of has a 70's folk vibe to it, and the visuals definitely add to the old-time feeling.

OK, Go- White Knuckles Official Video *ft. puppies*

So the band known as OK Go, a.k.a. the kings of the viral music video, are back with their latest creation... and puppies!!

You may know their older video with the treadmills (this video has 52 MILLION views!!!), or the more recent one with the Rube Goldberg machine (17 million views).

At this point, forget about the music, these guys have the best videos ever, no doubt about it. And I bet there's about 75 million total viewers who would agree with me...


Watch the video here...

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

Sit down, turn it up to 11, and prepare to have your mind blown...
Kanye West- Monster

Kanye West - Monster by kingkrool-1

Kanye West killin it as usual. 

All of his new songs seem to have a common theme: an insane amount of Narcissism. He views himself as a musical prophet (I think he secretly wants to take over the world...), and he's not half wrong about it. Most of the stuff you hear on the radio has something to do with Kanye.

The man's a BEAST.

Cee-lo Green-F**k You (official video)

Here's the official video of Cee-Lo Green's "Fuck You", the song that has quickly spread throughout the blogosphere due to its "catchiness"

The song does itself justice, but the video is fun...

31st century??

How it feel to have all that Power?

Kanye West featuring Jay- Z and Swizz Beatz -Power (Remix) by Hypetrak

As if the song wasn't good enough, HOV went and put his two cents in...

SICK. 

Update: This song is insaneee. Super catchy, crazy production, bad-ass sample selection. Looks like Yeezy's on the right track after his hiatus...

Thaaaannkkkssss.... (not)

RollingStone Magazine

"...but don't worry- computers are just a fad anyway, and the Interent is just plain stupid."

Hah!!

Nothing like a "thank you letter" with more than a hint of sarcasm. Hopefully they get the message...

It's my boy, Young Shancie!!

So I'm cruising the blogosphere, doing my daily rounds, when i see my good friend Shancie making a few cameo appearances across the web. It seems that he made a bet with Brandon Jennings, resulting in him dancing around shirtless to Lady Gaga on camera. No clue why... Maybe I'll ask him and get the full scoop straight from the source.

Yea buddy,  

get that publicity.

Update: I have just gotten word that Shancie beat out BJ in a game of one-on-one, which led to the video...



Bonus!!!: I am including the new Shancie ft. J. Heat- Automatic video for your enjoyment. Please watch it and listen to Shancie!
