808’s & Heartbreak

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

So thanks to a friend of mine at Def Jam (Intern program) I got my copy of Kanye’s new album and i have to say wow! While most people are doubting the album, 50, especially, with his list of wack albums, i think this album might go close to a million if not a million plus!

The album is dope period!

Thats it. Thats the damn review! As a matter of fact, am going to get it again when it comes back out again for December *cough* my birfday is coming up! Am sure there will be more tracks in it by then also, but seriously, the album is great.

For those that dont know, its named 808’s & Heartbreak cause thats what the album is about. All the tracks are about his heartbreaks, with the use of Roland TR-808 drum machine and Auto-Tune, I can say Kanyeezy might be on his way to creating a new genre as he set out for.

While most might think the whole album is about his mom, only one track on the album is really about his mom, and that is Coldest Winter. The rest might be about Alexis cause if i remember correctly, they where actually about to get married right?

If you havent heard the new RoboCop, the finished mastered version, then you are missing! That track is crazy. I think i’ve played it about 50 times and then there is Pinocchio Story which he recorded live in Singapore, listened to that about 100 times already and its still playing, and i mean its even playing right now! I read that Beyonce was the one who requested it be in the album, so here is my thanks cause really, that track is sick!

*Wait i have to restart Pinocchio Story, i’ll get to Luda’s album later. :lol:

Anyways, there is not much i can say, go listen to it yourself on Kanye’s blog by clicking on the album cover on top! Or, as you should, go get the damn album when it comes out cause it is definately GOOD Music.

PS: Michelle, am sure you can have him now.. at least cure his heartbreak ;)

VMAs 2008

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Ok, so am pretty sure most of you saw it, most of it was like WTF? and some where actually good. I liked their nice idea of the Hollywood setting, wonder how much it cost them to build up everything they used?

Ok, to start off… Rihana opened up the show with her song, Disturbia… in a freaky way like MJ’s Thriller video… well, it was not bad actually i guess.. I mean, i havent really heard the song like that, a friend forced me to watch the video a while back so i can see the hairstyle she might get next…

and next on the list of performances i saw didn’t see was Katy Perry performing :( If anyone sees her, tell her i said i need a re-run live because i also kissed a girl and like it. lol. Umm, Travis Barker? Now thats what i’m talking about.

Anyways, to move on, i did see Weezy perform though and i have to saw WOW! The performance with Leona Lewis was awesome!

and then we had the performance with the circus leader T-Pain, :D

I saw a little out of Pink’s performance but didnt see her wearing this though :( I didnt even know she had a song out :(

I left for a while and missed out on The Ting Tings, Shut up & Let Me Go, and even TI!! Performing with Rihana??  Live Your Life, on Numa Numa!!?? WTF? Where have i been??I saw this online, and i have to say the song is nice… gotta hear more.. more!

I saw LL’s performance, Cristina’s performance also, and then to get to the great part of the night, Kid Rock, with Weezy coming out to rap on that track!! am pretty sure he wrote/made that up just for the VMAs! note the style people! welcome to the world of Slouch Skinny Men’s Jeans…

To round things off was Mister kanYeezy! not Weezy, kanYeWest! He sang Love Lockdown live with the synthesizer (the T-Pain) and supposingly, this is on his next album due for release in december along side with Jay-Z’s album, also due in the same month!

Watch the performance here and let me know what you think, i think the song will be a hit, just watch. You might not like it at first but watch…

Ok, so i do think that the VMAs gave Britany so much awards just to make up for last year’s horrible opening show! and also for her to get back her spot which i do think she has lost forever.
