KANYE WEST :: POWER (NY Times Preview)



VIA DX News
Kanye West's New Video Previewed By New York Times
July 29, 2010 06:25:00 PM CDT | by Andres Vasquez

After performing new songs for Facebook and Twitter, Kanye West made more news by announcing that his album title, Good Ass Job, was getting scrapped. The news came from his new Twitter account, one that has already gotten more than 250,000 followers in about two days. Now, Kanye is continuing to preview material from his album, including a sneak peak at the video for his track, "Power. "

"Power" will be handled by Italian born artist Marco Brambilla, who has gained a lot of acclaim in the art world for his previous work. While the video is still under wraps, New York Times' Artsbeat got a chance to see some of the visuals. Dave Itzkoff described the video in short, saying, "...Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with aheavy 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."

Still, they were not permitted to view the entire video, which is being kept private for now. The artist, Brambilla, spoke about the project with the Times.

"It’s kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way,” he said. “This would be a beautiful death...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.”

He went on to add more details.

“It’s a moment of transition for him. It’s like the end of an empire. It’s him becoming mortal again.”

“It’s a very exaggerated, hyper-sensational version of what the song is saying. But at the same time, 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.”

“I like controversy,” he added. “The more controversial it gets, the more interesting it is.”

Weezy Writes From Jail For A 4th Time



For all the Lil Wayne fans: Weezy checks in with the public for a 4th time since his sentencing. Just a few words from the grammy winning artist.

Read his new letter below....

___

Hello world… I’m good. Counting the days and still smiling. Most of those smiles come from hearing my kids’ voices over the phone. The others come from reading fan mail. Let me just say that I have the best fans in the world! The devotion, dedication, support, love, and most of all, prayers are simply the best. I never imagined that I could have such an impact on people’s lives. Because of this, I vow to be a bit more careful of what I say.

So I’ve been writing and let me be the first to tell you that the lyrics that I’m writing are… well there’s no word that I can think of that properly defines them. Amazing would be too typical and perfect would be unfair. I listen to the radio sometimes, emphasis on sometimes, and I hear the new music. I like some. I applaud my Young Money family for what they’re doing. As I’m not surprised. This is what we’re supposed to do. Congrats to Drake and Nicki for all their recent success. Those 2 are going to have me retiring early. I love my team. Much love to Tez and Mack. I know that people are inquisitive of what I do all day, so here goes. I wake up around 11AM. Have some coffee. Call my kids, and my wonderful mother. I then shower up. Read fan mail. Have lunch. Back on the phone. Read a book or write some thoughts down. Have dinner. Phone. Pushups. Then I listen to ESPN on the radio. Read the bible, then sleep.That’s my day.

I’ll end this letter, but never my love. I’m gone. Oh, and how ‘bout dem Lakers!?!

P.S. I thank my fans for appreciating me the way you do.

Tunechi.




Just Because Its KIM!

Kim was the Flag girl at the MP Energy Bullrun Rally in NYC!

You might remember last year she was the flag girl for the Pepsi Max Bullrun. That year she chose a sexy black jumpsuit, so this year she switched it up and went all white with black heels! What do you guys think?

The Bullrun is an eight-day cross country rally and over 100 cars race from NYC to Las Vegas!!

Messing With My Heart REMIX: Wayne Marshall feat. Mavado



Recently Alliance key player, Wayne Marshall released the video for his bubbling single "Messing with my Heart Remix", which features ally Mavado on the track and in the video. I must say it is a very well but together video, shot in high quality, with a unique concept and it has that international appeal (without downright copping some played out American style music video, I know we all have been seeing a lot of that lately, especially with all of this Dancehall/RnB/Hip Hop which has been going on for a while now) without losing its authentic Jamaican feel. I really love how the local videographers/directors are stepping up their game; the standard of the music videos produced,are consistently on par with the greats of those big international music video stations. I am hoping that these skills can transfer into film making and help to capture this dynamic island of Jamaica,its people and its culture to showcase to the world.But lets not stray from the point, the video shot!!! guaranteed MVLA!! Keep *seeing DIAMONDS* Marshy

Jeans & Fitted - Vybz Kartel ft. Russian



Simple song, melodious and catchy, the formula to a HIT! Not the greatest from Vybz Kartel, but he pulls it off nonetheless, assisted by the vocals of producer Russian. The video is as the title suggests, jeans and fitted hats all over. It also shows the contrast between the Uptown & Portmore. "Uptown! ... Uptown! ... same suh we dweet... we dweeet a portmoreeee .. OH!"  Deserves a watch!!
- peace, love & mula
