Twitter Take: Kanye West's "Monster"

Last night, as midnight grew closer a lot of us became a little skeptical of rapper Kanye West's promise to deliver a new track per week as part of "Good Fridays." But shortly before midnight Kanye finally delivered with the track "Monster". The song features Kanye, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and some dude named Bon Iver.

Following the release of "Monster" it seemed like everybody and their mama hit up Twitter to give praise to Nicki Minaj for her verse on the song with some people even labeling her the greatest female rapper out right now (umm that's BS). I've listened to the song twice and yea it's kinda hot, nothing mind blowing though. And I'm sorry folks but Nicki Minaj just doesn't do it for me. Just my personal preference, no hate. The random voices and accents...weird and unnecessary. I think if other lesser known female rappers got as much hype as Nicki Minaj does then we would really see how mediocre she is, but unfortunately real female rappers don't get any play these days. With that being said let's take it to the Tweets!!

Kanye West Online Exhibit

I've seen a lot of things on the internet, but an online interactive exhibit featuring rapper Kanye West? I haven't yet come across that, well, at least not until now. The folks over at BrandMakerNews.com have created an online exhibit featuring Kanye West that was created to help artists and entrepreneurs with celebrity branding. But I'm sure the exhibit will peak the interests of others as well.

"Kanye exemplifies what it means to live your brand, because he's true to his passion, and comfortable with who he is as an artist," said David Harley, Chief Creative Officer of BrandMakerNews. "He's the only rapper that can style a photo shoot for Elle, create a film with an academy award-winning director, design a sculpture with a Japanese artist, and remain 100 percent in his element, every step of the way."

The online exhibit features sidebars showcasing everything from "Kanye's 10 Definitive Quotes" to the number of Tweets made following the VMA fiasco involving country-pop singer Taylor Swift. The exhibit can be viewed by clicking here.

HAD To Post This

Apparently, Kanye West isn't done with his interruptions just yet. I believe CNN has just obtained footage of Kanye interrupting a speech given by President Obama! Someone has to stop this man. Amber...get your man.



That was HILARIOUS wasn't it?! LOL, Okay I am DONE. *poof*

"Run This Town" Trailer

You guys are probably gonna laugh when you hear this, but truthfully I've only heard this song once lol. I know it's a hot song and all, but I try and shy away from the radio so I don't really hear too much of the more "mainstream" songs. Anyways, I got an e-mail with the link to the trailer for the "Run This Town" music video and I thought I'd share it with you good folks. Quality is kinda crappy although I'm not sure if this was done on purpose of if the video is just effed up. *shrugs*

I'm A Gay Fish

South Park killed it with this one, LMAO!

What In The Bloody Hell??

Seriously? No, SERIOUSLY?!! This is simply frightening.

Who's Got Beef?

Apparently Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert and Kanye West do. This has got to be hands down the funniest beef of the year. I think I'm gonna go ahead and take Colbert's side on this one...



Stephen Colbert Wages War With Kanye West
(HipHopDX)

Stephen Colbert, host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, is attempting to humble Chicago rapper Kanye West in a mission Colbert has dubbed "Operation Humble Kanye."

Along with Kanye's recent antics, Colbert seemed somewhat bothered by the fact that Kanye's new album 808's & Heartbreak [click to read] has reached the number one spot on iTunes while Colbert's latest album A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift Of All has only managed to reach the number 15 spot.

Colbert even went on to shoot down Kanye's remarks on being the "voice of this generation."

"With all the auto-tuning on your records, you're barely the voice of your own albums," Colbert explained. "You want to be the voice of a generation? Get in line. It goes me, Obama Girl, the freecreditreport.com guys - then it's a tie between you and Crocs."

The only response to Colbert's remarks made by Kanye appear on his Twitter page where his headline reads, "Who the fuck is Stephen Colbert?"

808's & Heartbreak was released last Monday and the albums first single, "Love Lockdown" has gone on to sell over 1.3 million downloads on iTunes.

"Swagger Like Us"

I just came across this song earlier today, and it's hot as hell. It includes verse's from some of the hottest rappers in the game including Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye West, and Lil' Wayne and it uses a sample from my girl MIA!

Oh, and I'm sure people are gonna be debating on who has the hottest verse on this so I'm gonna go ahead and put my vote in for T.I. You already know...
