After my previous article defending Kanye West in spite of all his tactless nonsense, it's going to sound a lot like I've got a throbbing hard-on for the guy... well, hell, I guess I might. He's pretty bloody awesome in such a myriad of ways I couldn't even list them on all my digits (including toes). Kanye's musical prowess – ignore everything else for a minute – is unparalleled. As a rapper, he basically turned the genre of hip-hop on it's head almost single-handedly; his back catalogue is diamond encrusted, it's a golden lecture on how to dominate [...]
Sunday night, the 2013 Grammy Awards will renew the now-impossible task of representing mainstream America's tastes and remaining relevant to those who care enough to seek music beyond an FM dia...
Wow! It's been a while AWmusic. To be honest, I'm not as up-to-date as I'd like to be when composing a year-end list, but I tried my best. Here are my picks for Top Music Videos of 2012, in no particular order. Enjoy! Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools good kid, m.A.A.d city - what an album! I'm not one that really enjoys hip-hop, but I knew this was an album that cannot be ignored. Frank Ocean - Pyramids [...]
If music be the food of love then live music must truly be otherworldly; an indescribable, sense arousing combination of love, lust, excitement, sensuality and glory because there really is nothing better than live music is there? So at AltSounds we thought we'd give you our 2012 in live music, with some of our staff picking their live highlights for the year, sharing the passion we felt that will live on in our memories for years to come. Lauren M // Amanda Palmer @ Manchester Cathedral, 24th [...]
With Friday's show sold out, Jay-Z and Kanye West (or, we suspect, their people's people) have cut prices for students and the unwaged for Saturday night. A limited number of tickets priced €49.50 across selected price levels are available only at Ticketmaster outlets nationwide now. Tickets are available via cash only transaction and subject to availability. Student or unwaged I.D. required. Please note this offer is not available via telephone, online or by credit card facilities as these would incur additional charges. The rappers stated that Irish fans have always been great supporters of their music [...]
Como ya lo sabemos, Kanye West además de rapear le gusta realizar otra serie de actividades donde pueda expresar su talento y creatividad. Ya lo hemos visto en el mundo de la moda y ahora, en el mundo del cine con Cruel Summer . Un film, donde Kid Cudi es el personaje principal y que los medios han catalogado de un video musical extendido. La grabación de este video se hizo totalmente en Qatar y esta co-dirigido con Alexandre Moors quien es el responsable de los últimos [...]

Last night in London, a mysterious memo was making the rounds . On it was a map, which pointed to Shoreditch High Street. Above the map hung the words "WATCH THE THRONE. 5PM." The Brit blogosphere pro
You know there's some excessive strobe action on the horizon when a video comes with a warning about possibly inducing epileptic fits. But then I guess Jay-Z and Kanye West aren't really ones to do things half-heartedly, are they? The new video for the pair's rather large tune 'Ni**as In Paris' hit the web earlier today. And as you can probably guess, its rather slick, with all sorts of kaleidoscopic effects in the mix to mess with your mind. 'Ni**as' is a bit of a big room tune really, so it makes sense that [...]
Figured they had to be getting some dope footage of this live, they did perform it a ridiculous amount of times on tour. Some seriously hypnotizing visuals right here. -daNk
OK, I'm certain Jay and Kanye are just trolling the Illuminati conspiracy theorist at this point. Video: Jay-Z & Kanye West - Niggas In Paris is a post from: That Hip Hop Blog
This video dropped earlier today so I'm sure most of you have already watched it. Those of you that do not suffer from epileptic seizures of course. While most of you would have liked to see Jay and Kanye going ape shit in France....well you didn't. The visuals were taken from the duo's show at the Staples Center. Pretty simple video but something about it makes it mesmerizing. I couldn't stop watching the damn thing. Before I knew it, Watch The Throne took away 4:10 of my life. Would I have liked to [...]
Yeah I didn't bleep out NIGGAS like the rest of the blogs did. Take that society. Check it out.
I touched down in Paris this afternoon around 1:45. And despite the fact that "Niggas in Paris" has ostensibly nothing Paris-specific about it, the video still seemed to drop at a pretty auspicious time. In any case, Paris is still gorgeous, and this song is still making large crowds of people go fucking gorillas, so I can only assume all is right with the world. While some of us missed the boat on what's being called one of the greatest hip-hop tours of all time, Hype William's clip offers up a triumphant live version from their Staples Center [...]
