News: More Love LockDown Info

16 09 2008


I knew the “mastered/final” version of “Love LockDown” wasn’t official. It was just something about it that sounded incomplete. The buzz for this single is undeniable. First it the anticipation of the performance at the VMA’s, then the studio version had everyone checking for it daily, now we have yet another version of it to look forward to. This quote is directly from Kanye’s Blog:

” Your prayers have been answered!! There’s a new version of love Love Lockdown coming. We used new taiko drums and I re-sung it… it’s being Mastered now….
Sidebar… if you don’t like autotune… too bad cause I love it and have been using it since the College Dropout!!!”

Kanye also uploaded the newer artwork (as shown above) with “perfected type 4 all design snobs lol…”. I’m thinking it’ll drop sometime this week.

50 Mocks Love LockDown

14 09 2008

At a recent show, funnyman 50 Cent mocked Kanye West by “delivering his new single” which turned out to be Kanye’s “Love LockDown”; the much talked about new single from Kanye’s upcoming “808’s & Heartbreak” album. Fif claims “when you stop fuckin’ with him, that’s what you stuck with” while the audience screamed “Fuck Kanye!” 50 also announced the release date for his fourth album “Before I Self Destruct” which set to drop December 9th; a week before from Kanye’s. It’s easy to tell when G-Unit affiliated release is on the way when the beef and taunting starts. Looks like 50 is trying to stir up some early controversy to build up to his new release (yawns). Kanye Vs. 50 Cent again?

Takin’ Em Back – 9/12

12 09 2008

LL Cool J feat. Method Man and Redman, and DMX – 4,3,2,1

Since LL dropped an album this week it reminded me of one of my favorite joints ever. Two reasons why this song is so sick; one, it introduced DMX to the hip hop world, and the second is it sparked the beef with LL and Canibus. Originally Canibus had a line referring to LL’s mic tatt, LL took offense to it and went in on Canibus on his verse. Canibus rewrote his verse excluding the LL line, but LL kept his verse he wrote causing LL to diss Canibus on the same track they appeared on.

I had to throw in the remix which featured Methodman and Redman, DMX, Canibus, and Master P!

Kanye West was arrested at LAX this morning after an altercation with a photographer. Kanye and his road manager broke a $10,000 camera resulting in his arrest for vandalism.

Kanye was arrested and will be released on 20k bail. I guess he really does hate these niggas more than the nazi’s!

10 09 2008

Jadakiss feat. Jay-z – Who Run This

Finally some new Jada, he’s been a lil lowkey lately. The song features Jay, but no verse here; just some words from the Jiggaman. Jadakiss third solo album Kiss My Ass sounds like a sure thing now.

Cam’Ron – Bottom Of The Pussy Hole

It’s been a while since we heard from Cam’ron but he’s expected to drop his new joint Crime Pays this November. Check out this new joint “Bottom Of The Pussy Hole”. LOL @ that title.
