It seems as though the first video Kanye West first premiered to “Flashing Lights” was only a sneak peek! Here is the 3rd version of this same music video. Kanye is genius! This one is more theatrical like horror film. I wonder where he got the concept to this video. Click play to watch the video. Tell me what ya’ll think!

I just got this in my inbox like 2 minutes ago. After watching it and getting bored within the first minute, I’m glad Kanye went with the first version! This second version is garbage…
Kanye West performed “Everything I Am” but a more freestyle revised one at Casio’s G-Shock 25th Anniversary Celebration in New York. I tell you Kanye is by far one of my favorite artists and he really killed on stage. Ya’ll have to watch this video! Click play to check it out!

I was just browsing some blogs online when I happen to come across Kanye’s latest entry, from his blog, which appears to be a retort to Entertainment Weekly’s tour write-up for Glow In The Dark; they gave it a B+ and apparently it looks like Kanye had some erhm … “colorful” choice of words in regard:
Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya’ll two cents in? Ya’ll rated my album shitty and now ya’ll come to the show and give it a B+. What’s a B+ mean? I’m an extremist. It’s either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn’t dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can’t have fun and lose yourself at this tour it’s a good chance you’re a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don’t know shit about passion and art. You’ll never gain credibility at this rate. You’re fucking trash! I make art. You can’t rate this. I’m a real person. I’m not a pop star. I don’t care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you’re not invited and if you see me…BOW!! [me: Flawless.] This is not pop, it’s pop art!
And that is why I love him! For some reason I don’t think ANY ONE likes Entertainment Weekly that much. Hmm … I wonder why that could be? Lol!

The paps caught a drunk, lost and confused Amy Winehouse outside of her England home last night. Apparently after her night on the town, homegirl had lost her keys and couldn’t get into her house. So a friend had to help her break into her own house by manually raising the garage. What would Amy do without those friends of hers…

(Photo: Wire Image) According to fashion designer Alexis Phifer, rapper Kanye West’s fiancee of nearly 2 years, the engagement is off.
“It’s always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends,” Phifer told People.com. “I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met.”

Damn I really wish I could hit this tour up, but times are hard with gas being damn near $4/gallon and all. It’s too late to get good seats now, anyway. I guess I’ll have to settle for the photos and youtube videos. ((Sigh))
The hip-hop star may or may not have been thinking about Richard Wagner’s epic Ring cycle when he decided to turn his Glow in the Dark tour into an apocalyptic space opera. The show, which premiered Wednesday at this city’s Key Arena, had more obvious reference points: Japanese anime, Will Smith in “I Am Legend” and any Imax shows about the planets that West might have seen as a kid.
But West, the chart-topper most determined to burn his likeness into the walls of pop’s Valhalla, cares deeply about what it means to be a hero. Wednesday, he didn’t take a spear to the gut the way Wagner’s Siegfried did, but he did confront terror, doubt and filial grief in a show that carried his braggadocio into the realm of myth itself.
Performing a set of favorites from throughout his repertoire, West moved like a dancer in a Gene Kelly movie on a slanted stage made to look like a distant moon.

Here it is, folks! The T2W premiere of Kanye West’s new video for Homecoming (F/ Chris Martin). The video was filmed in Chicago (obviously) and was directed by music video genius Hype Williams, hence the dope effects and what-not!
Label-mate Common made a cameo in the video. Kanye, this makes video #4 … please don’t tell me this is the last one! You need to make a video anthology or something. Do it for us … the stans!
KANYE WEST SUED FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT » Another day, another bogus lawsuit against my boy Kanye West. Kanye is being sued by a Maryland songwriter/producer for copyright infringement.
Dayna “D’Mystro” Staggs filed the lawsuit in Maryland District Court last week claiming West “didn’t obtain a license” to sample his record “Volume of Good Life” for the song featured on West’s third album, “Graduation,” reports WENN. In legal papers, Staggs states West “was only at the age of six or seven years of age” when his song was written. He has also objected to the “vulgar and offensive” images associated with the song, claiming it “harms the reputation” of his inoffensive tune.
Staggs seeks 85 percent of all world sales of the proceeds from “Good Life,” although he fails to detail exactly how he came up with that number, reports WENN. West is named in the lawsuit alongside his various record labels, including his own G.O.O.D. Music and Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s Roc-A-Fella Records. [ VIA EUR WEB » ]
85%? Dude must be on something serious! And here I am thinking Good Life sampled Michael Jackson’s PYT. I gotta take a listen to this Volume of Good Life song though. The only thing that and Kanye’s “Good Life” probably has in common is the name, lol!

Hip-hop king Jay-Z and R&B queen Mary J. Blige showed up and showed out (from what I hear) in Miami’s American Airlines Arena Saturday night! The two were there, along with Kanye West, Timbaland, and The Dream, to kick off their Heart of the City tour. Rappers Young Jeezy and Fabolous showed their support from the audience, and were photographed backstage. It looked like a pretty damn good show! Wish I could have been there.

If you recently read reports from MTV UK, then you’re probably under the impression that rapper Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer secretly tied the knot in Paris last month. West, who proposed to Phifer during an Italian vacation in 2006, was said to have exchanged vows with the designer while vacationing in Europe in February 2008. However, a representative for the hip-hop superstar insists the marriage reports are “untrue”.
