Random Verse of the Day



One of the saddest songs I ever heard just came up in my shuffle:

"I know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers
The doctor dont wanna take procedures
He claim my heart can't take the anastesia
It'll send her body into a seizure
The little thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beeping,
Hey chick, im at a lost for words
What do you say at this time?
Remember when I was nine?
Tell her everything gone be fine?
But i'd be lying, the family crying
They want her to live, and she trying
I'm argueing like what kind of doctor can we fly in
You know the best medicine go to people thats paid,
If Magic Johnson got a cure for A.I.D.S.
And all the broke muthafuckers passed away
You tellin me if my grandma was in the N.B.A.
Right now she'd be ok?"

Drake - Best I Ever Had Video

Drake "Best I Ever Had" from kwest on Vimeo.



Massively late on this one but I've just got one thing to say...

What the hell??

This is some pretty hardcore softcore porn (and by the way, where did they find these girls?)

Now that that's out of the way, it has an interesting take on the song, Im glad that its kinda different and not just Drake video sexing while we all watch (that would be creepy) And one last thing...that is one tall biotch on the opposite team.

Kanye - Street Lights Video



I cant tell if its the official or not (Im kinda losing my bloggers touch =/) but its not bad (not the way I would've done it though)

It kinda loses that mystery and mystique that the song has (which is why it's one of my favorites on 808's) but I kinda did like the effect they had on the streetlights.

Random Verse of the Day




BOTH KANYE and DRAKE ripped this song to a new extent, and there for it no longer belongs to Jamie Foxx (sorry, it happens to the best of us)

But seriously I dont know which verse is better:

DRAKE
Who’s that peeking in my window, uhhh
you should let some more skin show,
and if one of these websites get the info,
we can work it out no nintendo,
i just hit alt tab, switching between 2 convo’s
i should just call cabs and bring em both here to the condo,
yeah, normally it ain’t a question,
we would cross paths like an intersection
but she just too far away for affection so i pray that we never lose a connection
cos i remember stacy, she probably hate me,
she used to threaten she had a man to replace me, she talk that sh-t I just hit the escape key,
and then she get mad and wanna go and erase me,
and I remember amy, she used to AIM me,
she stayed up late and used to blame me,
she say i’m too wild, she wanna tame me, I told her even photoshop couldn’t change me,
but you you you got me open girl, why lie,
we ain’t even tryin to settle so why lie,
end the night with a kiss and a bye bye,
no strings attached your love is so wi-fi,

KANYE
When you take the picture cut off the face and cover up the tattoo by the waist
Let the MC search till I reach third base
And when I get home imma hit home plate
Wait would this be considered our first date
Ye this picture just looks so trashy
Your body make a baller spend cooked coke cash
Plus every good girl wanna go bad
And playboy mags like Stacy dash
Or Kim Kardash and be a lady addict
You know whats a crazy thing
some girls would make you wait longer than ac green
Passion of the Christ 33 year old virgin Thats disrespectful baby don’t encourage him
I like them brown yellow Puerto Rican or Persian
Dashiki kimona or turban
They say I dress white but my swag so urban
Tryin’ my look
I hit em with the text say
Baby you up
Question mark
And she respond yes-s-s-i-r r, r, literally, pun intended

Kinda Like A Big Deal



I did not watch this so I cant give you my usually witty commentary but I will later and I will (not) post my thoughts about it later.

I really like the song (in fact the title had a run as my text message signature) so It cant be that bad.

Digital Girl


Def. havent listened to (much 0f ) the song, but it sounds good so far. Drake and Ye were all it took for me to listen to it honestly (no homo of course...I just enjoy their music...more than ice cream cones)

Link here (before its removed of course)

Paper Air Yeezy's


This is such a well executed idea. Papercraft looks pretty cool to me (I tried it and it didnt work out so well though)

This Filippo Perin guy actually did a good job capturing the shoe, down to the strap.

Birthday Synopsis

It was pretty good, despite the fact that Myspace changed my birthday to Jan. 1, 1909 so nobody on there knew it was my birthday (despite the fact that nobody goes on there anymore) Facebook showed love and even MyCokeRewards sent me an email.

I got three shirts and a hat (I guess I'll start wearing hats) so thanks to my brother, Jaleel (ha, you're names on the internets now)

Seatbelts may save you in a crash, but when you're not moving dont wear them or else you're basically being held down for people to hit you.

Never dance in an elevator unless you know all of the people inside (kyle)

Never play pool around drunk guys who think they can teach you (kinda creepy)

And I cant throw up a middle finger on my right arm because its still sore from people who hit with rings.

Also, apparently today is Kanye's birthday (happy birthday if he actually reads this...I doubt it) so that means I share a B-day with Prince, and come a day before Kanye...June produces some pretty fresh (and/or weird) people...better yet Geminis as a whole fit that description.

Paranoid Video

KANYE WEST "PARANOID" feat: RIHANNA Dir: NABIL from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.



The real one (making the other fake...dummy)

I actually really like it, its like a modern version of "Thriller" (despite the fact that I personally dont really get the wolf)

I also noticed that the music is altered, probably to add a little extra shock and make everything look more surreal and crazy...speaking of crazy...that car Rihanna's driving is pretty impractical (who's ever heard of a one seater...besides formula one)

Long story short, I approve, good job on this one Ye (omg I hope he reads thisssss...no homo...)

Spaceshippppp



One of my FAVORITES songs from College Dropout (it still gets me through some times in life) I personally like the video.

Kanye said he directed it four years ago but never released it because he didnt like it, but I think it accurately portrays the feeling of the song. The water thing with GLC is a little obscure but it probably makes sense to somebody

Check it out

Paranoid Video



Not a bad vid for one of my favorites on the CD. And there is tasteful semiNUDITY of Rihanna (like you haven't seen that before though)

Kinda plain though, I'd expect something a little more flamboyant extravagant and/or artistic from Kanye (a joke, Kanye's my homie that is if he's one of my readers lol)

5/12/09

Random Verse of The Day


As good as all three verses on the song were, I chose this part of Kanye's verse (simply because its the best standalone)

"Lifestyles of the broke and famous
Let you know how crazy this game is
Look at all the new beautiful faces
At home supermodel, myspacers
Long for their shot on the TV screen
American Idol never seen these dreams
Just last week they wanna see ID Now they got you in VIP, huh?"

Kanye West - US Placers

Random Verse of the Day

If I remember I'll do one of these a day, if not a week, if not that then probably never again.

Lets hope I have some consistency!

"Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time
Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind
And get some lee way on the he say she say
You girl don't like me, how long has she been gay
Spanish girls say "No hable inglés"
And everybody want to run to me for their single
It's funny how these wack niggas need my help
Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
Dog, If I was you, I wouldn't feel myself
Dog, If I was you, I'd kill myself"

Two Words



Kanye's video for "Two Words" that never got played he said this:
This video never got played because I refused to remove the titles on it. They said people will think a TV show is going off and I said that's the whole point. Wow... even only 3 videos in to the game.... I refused to compromise my vision.
Hes kinda right this was a fiyah ass concept, just another reason (old school) Kanye was one of my heroes.

LVs & Autotunes 2 Mixtape


Im mainly posting this because of the artwork (look at the KanyeBears...ooooh) and because of the Amazing remix which actually sounds decent.

I only heard a little bit of it but The Dream actually doesn't suck on it (noooo homo) however the jury's out on Christina Milian.

The rest of it is mostly stuff you've heard before (probably) but still peruse it

Songs That Are Stuck In My Head Part 1


"The Big Screen" GLC and Kanye West from jarabanda on Vimeo.

Slightly old but I didnt like it too much the first time I heard it. This song is pretty damn good to me now and has been in my head the entire day.

I've actually listned to it 10 times today according to my iPod.

This is that (kinda) old school Kanye too, which adds to the freshness of the song.

The one thing thats annoying is that little voice, I'd kill it if I could.

Amazin Video


Amazing from kwest on Vimeo.

Is ironically not too amazing to me. Amazin is one of my FAVORITE songs on the CD and as artistic as Kanye has been being lately this one was a little too plain.

I get it hes showing how amazin the world is or something, but it looks more like a commercial for a travel agent than a video for a pretty good song.

Jeezy looked out of place too.

Kanye - Amazin' Stills


I dont even know why Im posting this. They're just still pics of the video for one of my favorite songs on the album.

Looks like he spent alot on the video though, and the forest thing kinda reminds me of Halo for some reason. But where's Jeezy?

All of the pics are here

Gay Fish Full Song


They released a full CD quality version of this.

As comedic as it is...the novelty is wearing off sooooo get it quick

Do You Like FishSticks?

Kanye On South Park



It was preeeety funny (and I WAS gonna be the first to blog about this...but I got lazy)

They made at least half of the episode about his ego, the auto-tune, and about him being a possible closet homo but if you look at his blog (in the links down there) he took it in stride (which is awkward)

BUT I LOVE THAT THEY OUTED CARLOS MENCIA AS A JOKE STEALING UNFUNNY ASSHOLE...that was cool.

Check it out here
