Governors Ball 2013 was a fucking mess. After heavy rain on Friday, the field on Randall's Island in New York City turned into a sloppy mud puddle six inches deep. But the show went on and on Sunday, June 10th, just two days after Kanye's 36th birthday, he took the stage as the final headlining [...]

Kanye West took the New York City stage on Sunday night to wrap up a messy Governors Ball 2013. He delivered classics like "Flashing Lights," "Can't Tell Me Nothing," and "All Falls Down," but 'Ye also gave the audience a taste of some new shit, presumably off the upcoming Yeezus album. Watch him perform the [...]

Red Bull Music Academy has finished their month-long residency in New York City, but we're still getting goodies from some of the events. Today, they've released a video of a conversation between Q-Tip and legendary hip-hop journalist and ego trip co-founder Chairman Mao. In the discussion, Q-Tip spoke about his career, did an impression of KRS-One, and played a bit of "Mama's Boyfriend," an unreleased Kanye West track that we've only heard via an acapella performance West did at Facebook HQ. If you fast forward to the 1:36 mark in the video, you can hear a clip of [...]

Chance the Rapper , Chicago MC and SaveMoney crew member dropped Acid Rap back in April and has been in heavy rotation in my cd deck. It took me about a week from the time I downloaded the mixtape to actually put it on a cd. I heard a couple of tracks from his 10 Day mixtape (crafted while on a 10 day suspension from school) and some videos here and there featuring him and other young Chi-town MC's but I hadn't made up my mind on him yet. My initial thoughts where "he's cool, I don't know [...]

Portugal. The Man's new album Evil Friends is in stores today. It's a fantastic record that's been on repeat for me ever since I got a promo copy. The cover artwork is amazing, so I suggest that you pick up a physical copy at an indie store if you haven't gone completely digital by now. [...]

Sounds like Kanye West went home to Chicago for at least one record on Yeezus . This past weekend, Chief Keef was in NYC for the release of his signature Beats By Dre headphones and he sat down for a short interview with EME Takeover where he revealed his participation on Yeezus . Though the Finally Rich MC confirmed his guest appearance, he was unable to remember the name of the song he appears on. "I am on the song called…I forgot." He continued, "I forgot what the song [...]

For Kanye West's second round of projections, there has been more attention and police involvement, but the showing at Philadelphia's now non-operational Eastern State Penitentiary ran smoothly. The former prison is now a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as a museum, but tonight it served as a venue that added a [...]

Big bad don of the UK airwaves Tim Westwood has just let loose this previously unheard Kanye West freestyle from 2005. Clocking in at around 13 minutes, Kanye goes in over a few of his own productions, even rapping about a listeners girlfriend at one point. Check it out above. (NahRight)

Nearly 10 years ago, Kanye West flew across the pond and found himself in Tim Westwood's studio because that's unwritten international travel protocol in Hip-Hop. What happened next was never seen until now. The self-proclaimed Yeezus - still, then, known as just "Kanye" - spent over 10 minutes providing community service to Timmy's show freestyling just for the sake of doing so. The lyrics appear to come off the top of the dome over several rap classics (am I allowed to use that word?) such as Game's "Dreams" and Jigga's "Encore." Even with [...]

I'm not entirely sure this week's pick for best video even qualifies as a music video; it certainly stretches the definition. But in its impeccable planning and its flawless execution, it captured imaginations over the weekend and dominated the conversation come Monday. It felt like an actual honest-to-god event, and how many of those do we get anymore? I'm talking, of course, about the Miguel legdrop gif . Just kidding. Our picks are below. Read More...

Some interesting news out of Hungary today. A listener there enjoys Kanye West's "New Slaves," but he recognized the music that comes in toward the end of the intense new track that 'Ye just brought to Saturday Night Live. The music is from Omega, a Hungarian band who the emailer describes as "like my father's [...]

Yeezy season is officially underway. Following the game changing premiere of his video last night, Kanye went on SNL as the musical guest act to perform two brand new singles from his forthcoming Yeezus album. The post Kanye West Performs On Saturday Night Live appeared first on TAPEDECK .

After projecting new material onto the sides of 66 buildings across New York, Paris, London, Los Angeles and more Friday night, Kanye West continues to own the spotlight. He took to the stage last night on Saturday Night Live , and to say it was memorable is an understatement. Yeezy debuted two new songs during his visit to 30 Rockefeller. The first was "Black Skinhead," an intense Marilyn Manson-sampling cut that was paired with barrage of equally intense visual imagery. The second was "New Slaves," the song he premiered [...]

Kanye West has been busy this week, releasing live projections on buildings as a way to premiere his new songs. He also announced that his album is titled Yeezus (yes, you read that correctly). Last night he closed out the season of SNL (Bill Hader's last show) with the performance of two new songs, "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves" (the one he projected onto buildings). "Black Skinhead" starts out with a rapid fare pace, sounding something like a mix of Nine Inch Nails, Death Grips, and [...]

Kanye West closed Saturday Night Live's season finale with the debut off two new tracks of his forthcoming album,  Yeezus.  One, "New Slaves," was projected on buildings across the globe a night earlier, the other "Black Skinheads," made its mark on national television with stampeding drums, screeching lyrics, and an energy that blurred hip-hop with rock, with electronic elements. The morning after Kanye's latest spectacle, a contributing editor at  Rolling Stone shared a quote from his newest  Daft Punk  interview that has Bangalter revealing details behind their collaboration , indicative of work on "Black Skinhead." [...]

Kanye West took the stage at Saturday Night Live last night to debut an aggressive new track, "Black Skinhead". He also performed "New Slaves", a song West debuted on Friday. The songs will appear on his next record , Yeezus . Dressed in a studded leather jacket, West's stage presence on SNL was full of rage. He performed in front of a projection flipping through images reading "Followers", "Special!" and "Discount Price" but always returning to the same statement: "Not For Sale." His new song begins with some screams. It [...]
