  1. Rihanna voice sounds way better on that song.
  2. This people in Bomb music productions fixed this beat to this song and totally made it more passable. I like it! I know - Jay Z ft Pharrell (b m p remix)
  3. Lol, Jada looks older there than now, lol. And what a great way to thank everybody!
  4. It seems they had a blast on the bday! Jada should stay away from the beach though, lol
  5. Yeah, he needed to apologize. But now he is saying that all the interview with the daily show was staged and that he was instructed to do and say those things..
  6. Everybody is talking about how this is going to be the best album Kanye brings in Ages. I might give it a hear before I buy it though, but Im expecting something good.
  7. I think this is the right direction, keep working on it!

  9. Kanye West - 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' (Def Jam) Beautifully melding style and substance Creativity is back in style, thanks to a breed of rap stylists bent on reshaping the future of hip-hop. Today's rap gods joust for supremacy by luxuriating in the style of music that grabs your ear on the first listen. Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy stands as a testament to this emerging force. Hip-hop has been with us for over forty years now. Each era had its own class of poets, and their rhymes reflected their times. Today, rhyme slingers like Kanye West and Jay-Z have become increasingly style-conscious. This is wildly evident on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Kanye's job is no longer to simply make art, but to make it stylish and stadium-ready without compromising his poetry. It's no easy feat juggling both. Good thing Kanye bathes in the creative process, and he's having a blast doing it. Check his Gucci flow on "Monster," his diamond-encrusted delivery on "Power," his sharply-creased Rosewood sonic on "Devil in a New Dress." Oh, "that's Dior Homme, not Dior homey," he's quick to point out. Have fun identifying the array of ornamental displays on "All of the Lights." But style is only half the battle. Substantive lyrics are equally intrinsic to quality hip-hop. "All of the Lights" laments a topic that took Drake an entire album to dissect: the travails of stardom. The Bon Iver-assisted "Lost in the World" examines emotional trauma to great effect. When Kanye was addressing matters of the heart on 808s & Heartbreak, he was warbling too robotically for any pure-rap fan to tell. This time, he's blending braggadocio with emotion and dropping witty quotables as he goes. "If we die in each others arms, we still get laid in the afterlife," he sings on the aforementioned "Lost in the World." And when he muffles his voice on songs like "All of the Lights" and "Gorgeous," the vicious molasses still oozes dense rhythms. He's putting distorted riffs and synth showers where droning basslines used to be. Creative ebullience boiled down to its essence. Dark Fantasy shows an eclectic conversationalist who is aware of the world, interested in things beyond his immediate environment. How many rappers would dare taint their street cred by inviting Bon Iver to a recording session? How many would tap a ballet dance troupe to anchor their 35-minute music video? No wonder Kanye's sound transcends genres and cultures. You might even think of him as a philosopher if it weren't for the occasional fatuous remark dressed up as profundity. On the surface, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has little to do with rap. Just art, adventure, life, and naked honesty, which are essentially what hip-hop culture is about. It's a gracefully structured, wonderfully produced manifesto on how to meld style and substance. By the end of the ride, Kanye pulls you in and shoots you out the other side a little fresher.

  10. The autotune is what Diddy uses to sound like that on dirty money.
  11. A good way to start a new week is being thankful for the opportunity to do it.
  12. T.I should had kept that direction. I think that album was good, and had good hits on it. But he wanted to change directions and lately we have seen the morbid results of his decisions..
  13. This song is everywhere this week! I dont like it though, I find the chorus annoying, and even when Rihanna tried to use her accent on this song, I dont think it worked that well for her..
  14. This revolution of dance/R&B music is selling a lot lately. I guess thats why so many artists are trying to lean that way. Im not a fan of these new tunes though. I think they must be directed to a more "clubish" "young" audience.
  15. This is probably his most famous song, right?
  16. Ive been checking out NeYo lately, and the guy has some very good songs..
  17. Those guys have more good beats than G unit on their time. This is one of the reasons why I have been checking them out more lately.
  18. The remix is better, but it doesnt have a video..
