I have to be honest, I will never listen to Kanye again after what he did to Taylor. No way.

Overreaction. He was tipsy. He didn't do anything that was completely wrong. I could understand if he pimpslapped the hoe, but he didn't. So pull the tampon out of your vagina.

Kanye West returned to his blog to write a brief thank you to his new friends at Facebook for hosting him at their Palo Alto headquarters on Tuesday (July 27). The appreciative rapper debuted new material from his highly-anticipated fifth album during his visit. Video of the performances can be seen here.
To all my friends at Facebook,
Many times in life I’ve had to deal with moments of doubt. And as it’s been a minute since I’ve performed any fresh material in front of an audience, this could’ve been one of those moments… but it wasn’t. Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best. The energy was so inspiring I had to keep going!
I just hope you got as much from me as I got from you…which was everything!
Love to all my fans, especially at Facebook.
Kanye West

Kanye West has finally been bitten by the Twitter bug. Fresh off his visit to Facebook’s offices, the rapper has signed up for the competing social networking service.
Mr. West surprised many when he joined the Twitterati on Wednesday (July 28). Instead of using a nickname like his rap peers @liltunechi or @rickyrozay, he opted for a handle everyone knows and recognizes, @kanyewest. His account has been verified and he currently follows no one.
“Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley,” Yeezy wrote in one of his first tweets, later correcting himself. “Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )”
Kanye hasn’t always taken a liking to Twitter. In May 2009, he blasted the micro-blogging service for giving its users too much information. “WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER???” he asked in one of his all-caps blog entries. “I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF.”
But maybe now he sees the benefit of using Twitter as a promotional vehicle for his new album, due September 14. Either way, Twitter just got more interesting.
Kanye West no longer wants a Good Ass Job. After much speculation, the hip-hop star has revealed that he is cooking up a new album title.
West took to his new Twitter page to answer the question his fans have been asking, what will he name his fifth album? “The album is no longer called Good Ass Job I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now,” he wrote.
He earlier announced that he would continue the college theme of his previous albums The College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation. Good Ass Job was to be the last installment in the series.
Kanye West’s fifth album is scheduled for a September 14 release.

I have to be honest, I will never listen to Kanye again after what he did to Taylor. No way. Honestly, it's time to get over that. I'm a big Taylor Swift fan and was not happy with what Kanye did at the VMAs, but really its time to get over it.

I think most people have forgotten about that by now. I know I have. If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't even be thinking about it!

If urban radio has forgiven Chris Brown and he can have a mixtape track blasting up the urban charts than I doubt what Kanye did will have any effect. Kanyes actions pale in comparison by far! Kanye was just rude. He didnt do anything horrible.

@kanyewestA Preview of Kanye West’s ‘Power’: ‘Apocalyptic in a Very Personal Way’July 29, 2010, 10:26 am By DAVE ITZKOFF Kanye WestMarco Brambilla Kanye West in a scene from the video for “Power.” When you’ve had the kind of 2009 that Kanye West endured, only to return the following year to promote your new album, how do you organize your charm offensive to tell your audience you’re not the same person you used to be? If you’re Mr. West, you start by making appearances at the offices of Facebook and Twitter to perform a cappella raps and pose for photographs. Then you open a Twitter account, post messages complaining about the size of your private jet, and amass more than 200,000 followers in a day. And then you release a music video teeming with debauchery, degradation and the ominous specter of death. In a coming video for his single “Power” that was created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.) In a telephone interview, Mr. Brambilla explained that he was drawn to the project because, he said, “It’s kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way.” Speaking of Mr. West’s track “Power,” which includes refrains like “No one man should have all that power” and “This would be a beautiful death,” Mr. Brambilla said: “It had this very dark, personal conflict within it. Because of his own concept of celebrity and his own notoriety, he’s keenly self-aware of all these things. And it all came out in the music.” Mr. Brambilla, a video artist and film director (“Demolition Man”) caught Mr. West’s eye with an installation called “Civilization,” which hangs in the elevators of the Standard New York hotel in the meatpacking district and mixes hundreds of video clips to create a continuously scrolling depiction of heaven and hell. Mr. Brambilla said that he generally avoids collaborations but that when Mr. West contacted him through his gallery he could see how they might find common ground. “Because my work’s always been about alienation and seduction and the way contemporary cultures desensitize people,” Mr. Brambilla said. With a sardonic chuckle, he said of Mr. West, “And he’s experienced it first-hand.” (A press representative for Mr. West did not reply to a request to comment.) Mr. Brambilla said the project – which he preferred to describe as a “video work that’s been commissioned by Kanye to accompany the music” rather than a music video – was his and Mr. West’s attempt to answer the question, “How do you visually paint a portrait of power?” “It’s a moment of transition for him,” Mr. Brambilla said. “It’s like the end of an empire. It’s him becoming mortal again.” Among the visual influences that Mr. Brambilla said he discussed with Mr. West were Philippe Halsman’s portrait “Dali Atomicus,” which depicts a suspended mid-air Dali, splashing water and leaping cats; and Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. (Not that Mr. West is supposed to be either Adam or God, Mr. Brambilla explained. “It’s not exactly the content, but it is the interpretation of the style,” he said. “He’s like a fallen icon.”) The video is planned to be posted on Mr. West’s Web site some next week, Mr. Brambilla said, and will be provided to MTV and other music channels (though its content will probably make it difficult for some of these channels to show it).Mr. Brambilla said he hoped viewers of his “Power” video would see the humor in it. “It’s a very exaggerated hyper-sensational version of what the song is saying,” he said. “But at the same time,” he added, “it has this fallibility to it. Because built into the story is that there is an ultimate fallibility, in bringing someone back down to earth at the end of the piece. That kind of contradiction, hopefully, will create the tension within it.” And if it kicks up more controversy, as Mr. West’s artistic efforts often do, Mr. Brambilla was comfortable with that. “I like controversy,” Mr. Brambilla said. “The more controversial it gets, the more interesting it is.” Source.:o :o :o
