Major royalty in hip hop right now are Jay-Z and Kanye West, and they just decided to cement their kingdom with collaborative LP, Watch The Throne. That’s a confident authority.
First came Jay-Z, then came Kanye on his 2001 Blueprint album, then came the shutter shades that took over raves and music festivals worldwide. Roc-A-Fella Records was their breeding ground and a home that Jay-Z created along with colossal label, Island Def Jam, which boasts artists like Mariah Carey, Duffy, Ne-Yo, Fabolous, NAS, Rihanna, and none other than Justin Bieber.
Amidst all the tracks on this album, “Why I Love You” stood out as the winner. It features Mr. Hudson, Read the full story
With his upcoming album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” planned for the end of November, Kanye just released its 35 minutes film/music video that he briefly teased at the VMAs last month. This soundtrack will Read the full story
Some of you may have already seen Kanye’s “Portrait of Power” video, which was released last night on MTV, but I’m pretty sure this (uncensored) version will be new to almost all of you, (I found it here in a little leak that leads to a video uploaded on Vimeo less that an hour ago) Here is the artists’ cut ~ some little changes in the video and a little bit of nudity for y’all.
There comes a time in all creative minds when you enter new phases of sophistication, its called growth. Kanye’s new blog marks this growth for his online persona. He puts this transition really nicely in the text he wrote for below. “We used to be the niggas rocking polo shirts, Louie backpacks, paper denim jeans, and exclusive Adidas from Sportie LA.”
Ok. I know it ain’t cool to like Kanye these days. And I’m sure you’ve heard about this chick Beyonce before. But all the same, I cant get this one out of my head. This little diddy does it for me. Kanye should really stick to the music, cuz he sucks at everything else. And Beyonce is gold. Cant deny. Good job, Jay, you got a good woman. But watch out…cuz she got a big (ahem) ego. Check out the video if you haven’t seen it already.

Mr. Hudson is a singer/songwriter and record producer based out of London. Recently signing on Kanye West’s label G.O.O.D. Music label after contributing guest vocals to Kanye’s hit “paranoid” much is expected from this man who lists musical influences such as The police, Andre 3000, David Bowie, Marvin Gaye, The specials and Ella Fitzgerald. Mr Hudson has ventured away from the sound him and his former band are commonly known for, and with help of Mr. Ye himself he has embraced his 80′s synth driven melody’s and speaker blowing 808 styled tracks. So for fans who have known Mr Hudson since 2007 this track might come as a shocker but for the rest of us, well it’s a hot record. He is informing some lucky lady that she may want a shining star, but he’s offering to be so much brighter than that—in other words, a Supernova. It has been flirting with the charts for the latter part of the summer but has yet to really make an impact on this side of the pond… Its a shame aint it! Enjoy…
