Known to boast some of the most spectacular live performances in music, Kanye West has brought his main act to the Grammys multiple times. At the award show's 50th anniversary, Kanye came hot on his  Graduation  album, and delivered an emotional "Hey Mama" before turning up the theatrics for "Stronger." With just about everything glowing in the dark, Kanye rapped in front of a pyramid, and halfway through his act, the pyramid opened to reveal Daft Punk. The contributed their portion of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" from a replica of their signature Alive 2007 pyramid. [...]

There's been a bit of controversy over Kid Cudi 's recent split with Kanye West 's G.O.O.D. Music, so the rapper cleared the air in a recent interview with L.A. Leakers. Cudi spoke about the meeting he had with Kanye, revealing the news about his decision. Kanye, despite his usual "excitable" reputation, seemed to respond favorably: "Yes! Do whatever you feels right, I don’t blame you. I feel you on that." 'Ye's response seems appropriate, especially after hearing Cudi speak about his relationship with Kanye: [Kanye] believes in me, man. ‘Man, you [...]

Unos entes encapuchados siguen los pasos de Blake De la mano del director Nabil Elderkin  (quien ha recibido la aprobación de Kanye West , Bon Iver , Frank Ocean y recientemente Daft Punk , con quienes está trabajando en algo relacionado a su nuevo álbum Random Access Memories ), James Blake estrenó el video correspondiente a la canción "Overgrown" de su recién lanzado álbum con el mismo nombre. Aquí vemos a Blake caminar aparentemente sin rumbo fijo en la madrugada a [...]

"Overgrown is by no means a perfect album but it is an important milestone in the development of James Blake..." James Blake  |  Overgrown The years have been kind to James Blake. Since the release of his self-titled debut album in 2011, he has become somewhat of a household name. However, the dizzying heights of success and rubbing shoulders with industry greats has not gone to his head. Rather, if anything, Overgrown is a more grounded effort than its predecessor - as grounded as a dub step/soul crossover can [...]

• James Blake - Retrograde

Can I just say I really can't get over calling Yasiin Bey "Mos Def." Anyway, at a recent performance at the Shrine in Chicago, Bey let loose a track he recorded a while ago, which featured production from Kanye West . Apparently it was a True Magic throwaway, although that entire album ended up being a bit of a throwaway. The song is called "The Light Is Not Afraid Of The Dark", and it sounds like it came from right around the time West was working on The College Dropout . Check [...]

It's not the first time we write about Chance The Rapper ; he is talented, beloved and productive. Reasons enough to write about him again. After Juice Chance drops another super soulful production, and again his energy level is incredibly high. It sounds a little bit cliché to compare Chance to Kanye in a certain way, but he has really got something of the positive energy Kanye had on his first 'College Dropout' album. And with John Legend doing some backing vocals on Good Ass Intro  it also feels [...]

If you hadn't already heard, Justin Timberlake is doing everything right now. This past weekend he hosted, performed and killed on SNL . Beginning with last night's visit, he'll be appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for five consecutive programs. Next Tuesday his highly anticipated third solo album, The 20/20 Experience , will officially drop. It's a safe bet that if the Vatican Conclave fails to elect a new Pope this week he'll likely cover that position for a while, there's a national debt crisis to solve, global warming is still an issue, [...]

Kind of a low ranking for the Louis Vuitton Don, no? Well, MTV's ever-popular Hottest MC In The Game series is back, and today they've released Ye's positioning. MTV explains: Kanye West has proven time and time again that as a soloist, he can single-handedly shift rap’s sonic focus, but over the past year Yeezy made sure that there wasn’t anybody messin’ with his clique. So even during a period when he put out G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summercompilation, ‘Ye was enough of a force to land him at #7 on the ”Hottest MCs in [...]

Kanye's most recent performances have been all over the internets as of late, but last night (in, uh, Paris), Yeezy gave us the most important info of all: he's dropping new music very soon. Perhaps that's why they've been spending so much time in Paris lately, and so many G.O.O.D. people have been earning those frequent flyer miles over there. More below. NR The post Video: Kanye Says New Music Is On The Way appeared first [...]

Kanye West is getting ready to release some "new sh*t" in the next couple of months. At least, that's what he told a crowd in Paris last night. No other information was given, but we're assuming this means we'll hear something from that new album. You know, the one Malik Yusef described as a "throwback to Black music." If not, then maybe it'll just be something off G.O.O.D. Music's  Cruel Winter ? Oh wait, winter ends in less than a month. Yeah, we're banking on it being material off the follow-up to  My Beautiful Dark [...]

After Kanye's much publicized ran t a few days ago in London, he finished his show a different way last night, by simply screaming for over a minute. And nah, this isn't an *Otis Scream*, this is way more next level than that. Unreal. RR The post Video: Kanye Ends Show With Scream appeared first on Fake Shore Drive .

In case you missed it, Kanye West went on a pretty epic rant last night during his show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. But tonight? Nah, dude's feeling much better. At least, that's the message he delivered at his second concert in a row in London, where he told the crowd that he just needed to get some shi*t off his chest. Fair enough, Yeezy. Fair enough. Maybe Jay-Z gave him a call after those comments about "Suit & Tie"? Watch the clip below. [ via ]

Kanye West deconstructed some of the music world's most toxic complications on stage in London last night. During a 10-minute soliloquy that was entirely eerie, Kanye asked the big questions about corporate-sponsored concerts and business-driven art. "I came here for the creativity more than anything ... I hate business people," said Kanye. "The people like, what kind of business is he doing? What's the numbers? How much can you sell? What's the radio spins? How much shampoo can you sell with your face on it and shit?" Pacing an enormous stage, backed by bare keys, between each series [...]

"I swear I'll put the pink polo back on" During his show at the Hammersmith Apollo in London tonight, Yeezy got a few things off his chest after performing "Clique" in true Kanye freestyle/rant form. Topics include his dislike of corporations, The Grammy awards and more. Shouts to Team Kanye Daily for the assist. The post Video: Kanye West Rants Live In London appeared first on Fake Shore Drive .

It goes without saying that Kanye West is infamously opinionated. Oftentimes, at one of his concerts, Mr. West takes off the Yeti mask and breaks out into 10-minute rants. At yesterday's show in London, Kanye followed a performance of "Clique" with a tirade on honesty in art, corporations and, of course, how much he doesn't fuck with Justin Timberlake and JAY Z's "Suit & Tie" (phew, I thought I was alone there). It's immensely entertaining and sometimes even rousing. Watch it below: [...]

Kanye West loves a good rant , so he embraced his somewhat-legendary frustrations yet again during his performance at London's Hammersmith Apollo. And in the lengthy video below, you'll hear him go on about Justin Timberlake's new single "Suit & Tie", President Obama, and the Grammys. He doesn't mince words about any of those topics, though when has he approached anything with kid gloves? Anyway, peep the rant below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
