THANKFUL FOR KANYEEZY LOL!
I'm gonna start releasing some of the pieces online starting in January. The jacket from the AMA's, the Warrior hood that I wore at the Dior show and this one here. I actually designed this one and the jacket from the AMA's less than 3 weeks ago! I'm really happy with them! Sidebar: The Louis Sneakers are coming out REEEEETARDED and the Yeezy's drop in march. Sorry for the wait. I swear to you guys all I do is work on design when I get off stage. I want to and will be the real thing. I will not just be a "celebrity designer." Shit has to be good!!! Another shout out to the Kids from the lines Public School and Sandinista, my personal 2 favorites this month , you got busy! Today is a great day, I'm in Amsterdam at a really dope hotel overlooking the river. I got some sleep on the plane so I should have my voice back a bit better. Whoever saw the promo I was doing this week could tell I was beat and my voice was dead but I still had to get up there and do my job. All the controversy aside, life is great. I've already started conceptualizing a tour idea for next summer. I want to do it in the round (perform in the middle of the arena). Ok, gotta bounce, more press to do.

808s & Heartbreak Review
Kanye West808s & HeartbreakRoc-a-Fella/Island Def Jam4/5
True to form, Kanye West pushes forward in his quest for creative greatness by doing what he’s done throughout his career -the unexpected. Pulling further away from the sound of contemporary hip-hop than even his euro-pop-influenced last album Graduation did, 808s & Heartbreak contains eleven songs in which Kanye laments the recent losses of his deceased mother, and his ex-fiancé. While much has been made about how drastically different 808s is from West’s previous three offerings, there are some signs of musical continuity. The LP is far from a two-headed monster (though the influence of the auto-tune technique and the use of the TR-808 drum machine dominate the sound) - unlike Graduation, the synths no longer serve as the primary element of the album’s production, but instead beep over and prod at the layers of instrumentation underneath. The sonic arrangements, most notably those of “Bad News” and “Coldest Winter,” recreate the dramatic feel of Late Registration’s more touching moments, and the overall soulful nature of the album harkens back to the sentimentality of The College Dropout.

Common To Sell UMC For $0.99 Cents
Check me out on the website ThinkCommon.com, y’all can get the whole album for 99 cents the day the album is released, y’all can’t beat that, my music is priceless. [Laughs]”. Common was recently speaking in North Carolina, where he caught up with HipHopDX. There, the Chicago veteran emcee talked about his forthcoming album Universal Mind Control. “I’m really excited about it and for me as long as I’ve been making music I always wanted to challenge myself. This album is a lot of free music, a lot of feel good music. I didn’t overthink the subject matters and made music you can dance too, ride out too, and have fun too. I wanted to give people something to smile about, enjoy, and let loose.” Within Universal Mind Control, Common says he has a song that really embodies the political climate America witnessed earlier this month in his home city. “I have a song called ‘Changes’ and it’s a reflection of what I see in the future, it’s changes going on right now.
The youth really have a opportunity due to the fact we have Barack Obama in office. It’s due to the fact that people of all colors can see a black men, with his black women, and family can really do something powerful and lead this country. I wrote it probably five or six months ago, and it really fitting for the climate of the world right now.” Lastly, as artists ranging from Mos Def and 50 Cent have traded fourth quarter releases for a much less crowded 2009, Common explained his own push-back. “I originally was starting this album as an EP which was like a six song collection of songs. It was called Invincible Summer and I wanted to bring it out during the summertime. I did this film Terminator Salvation and I couldn’t finish the album in period I wanted to. I said, ‘Man Universal Mind Control is the perfect title for the sound of the music. UMC fits the theme of what the album is about. That sounds like something from back in the days to something futuristic.

Black Republicans
So today im listening to radio and 100.3 the beat(philly) is taking calls from Hip hop artisit and there thoughts on the election. For some reason some of the people i least expected to care about the whole election call in, forinstance Maino, jim jones. To my surprise they actually said some civil things on there political views especially jim jones, i actually think he might of prepared his speech lol. But out of all he said he actually said something that quickly caught my attention and it was "i dont understand why some of us support Obama when we come out with songs like Black Republicans" we obviously know he is talking about jay z and nas, but i think he's more directed to Jay. Neverless as the day went on i thought about what he said and i know its just a song, but i wanna hear what yall think about this!
Obama Shirt designed by Pharrell
I know this is old, but just cause its election day i thought it would be wise to let everyone know about these OBAMA shirts. Not to mention Pharrell desinged.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS YET
Denver has traded All-Star guard Allen Iverson to Detroit in exchange for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, a league executive with knowledge of the talks said. Iverson was traded to Denver in December 2006, but was not able to help Carmelo Anthony lift the Nuggets out of the first round of the playoffs in his two seasons there. The trade gives the Pistons salary-cap flexibility at the end of the season. Iverson’s contract, which pays him $21.9 million this season, expires in July.
THIS IS SO COOL!!
Implementing the best of what the fitted game has to offer, hat purveyors Hella Tight held nothing back when it came to the creation of a Kanye West fitted. Featuring perforated leather, satin lining and even glow-in-the-dark embroidery, the Bay Area based label elevate themselves into a new realm of superb fitted construction. This “Yeezy” joint is expected to release sometime soon, so stay tuned for further details.
