the durty version » Kanye West

It’s about time. I knew he wasn’t hibernating due to that little problem with the country singer, who’s name I cannot recall. The boy wonder is working on an album. He’s not hiding out, media. I bet you if there is anything we can expect, this album is going to be straight crack. Considering it’s got Q-tip, RZA, Pete Rock… on it, Kanye on the production tip, and probably a whole slew of other artists, we can expect something nice. If I know Kanye, I am sure he is trying to force Dr. Dre to release sooner, or risk releasing Dretox in 2011; against previous statements that he’ll drop in 2010. Nevertheless, we will have a nice summer with some fire soon enough.

Kanye West – Street Lights (Video)

the surg3on — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:17:44 +0000

Get em ‘Ye! This happens to be one of my favorite tracks on the album. I feel like quite a few people were not feeling this album. It most definitely grew on me. If dude wanna dedicate an album to letting us know how someone hurt his feelings… God bless him. That’s the beauty of music. It’s art and artists need to be able express and be as creative as they feel.

Rick Ross Feat. Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T-Pain – Maybach Music 2

the surg3on — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 15:45:13 +0000

I am surprised that this song is pretty tough. Most of the tracks with T-Pain are on are pretty fly. Kanye and Lil Wayne has some shots thrown at them by 50 Cent, but went out the mature way and continued to do what they do best; make music. With this collaboration, I am sure 50 Cent will spit a few more shots towards Lil Wayne and Kanye, and will most definitely add T-Pain to his black list. It seems that 50’s approach while effective in some arena’s, will most definitely isolate him and his team. Neverthless, the track is phat. Get it.

While we’re at it, here are the other Maybach Music tracks, which are actually pretty tuff. Not a fan of Ross, but this shit is real shit.

Kanye West Launches Beverage Line

the surg3on — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:24:24 +0000

GURU Beverage Company and Kanye West are joining forces to launch a drink to appeal to West’s fan base. More than likely, this is a point where Kanye West can outsell 50 Cent in other areas. Doubtful this will happen as 50 has Coca Cola helping him out. Nevertheless, I can imagine Kanye West will do faily well with these drinks if Guru can position itself to sell the beverages in more locations than Whole Foods. GURU Beverage currently offers a line of energy drinks which are all natural. I plan to step to Whole Foods by the end of the day and tasting one.

So far the beverage labeling has not been designed, but I hope it will look much better than the plain aluminum cans currently afforded by Guru. Kanye mentions: “I express myself through music, fashion, art and design and that’s why I am excited to collaborate with GURU," Ye wrote in a statement. "[It's] because the brand values what I value, and I can put what inspires me into this new product."

We’ll wait and see and taste. So far the image that Guru appeals to as represented by the attached video, Lower East Side…

Kanye West – Payback

the surg3on — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:05:11 +0000

Kanye West in an experiment to comply with the gangster rap antics. Unfortunately it just doesn’t match Kanye’s appearance. Let 50 do him, you do you, and we’ll leave it at that. I must admit, the beat is not back, but i’d get rid of the hook.

Kanye is a straight beast. I am not so sure how “beast"-like” the kid was in his last efforts in going platinum. But I think the kid from Chi-town is back. Flute Flow.

Another 50 Cent vs Kanye West Album Battle

the surg3on — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:27:58 +0000

Could there be another battle coming up come Christmas for album sales? That would be nice and I would most definitely like to see who would win this second time around. Apparently Kanye is planning to drop and album by the end of the year, as is 50 Cent. It would be classic if Kanye went directly at 50 and put his date the same day as 50’s. I dont imagine 50 would be the type of chip leader to back down if Kanye called him out. However, if he does, that could be a serious shot across the bow and may cause anger with his fans. There is a slight possibility that Kanye with his ego, fame, and momentum, that he’ll challenge the Queens rapper. I can’t predict the future, but I have a slight inclination that we might see another war coming up. David vs. Goliath, and this time, the smaller guy is the bully.

Kanye West – Homecoming (Video)

the surg3on — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:00:51 +0000

This video is one of the dopest music videos that I have personally seen in a few months. The black and white touch, along with the see-through silhouette was a great idea. As far as Kanye dancing… I think he could use a bit of help in that category. Nevertheless, he might be able to get buy as his clothes were on smash.

Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III

the surg3on — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:11:01 +0000

May 13th, 2008, Lil Wayne will bless us with his third album. Too bad he didn’t choose a title drastically different than the first two. His second album Tha Carter II his 1.3M sales according to Nielsen Soundscan.

Wayne says this album will tout stars such as Hurricane Chris, Corey Gunz, Tyga, Jibbs, and Lil Mama (not too impressed with the lineup). Kanye West will do some mixing on the album which seems like that will almost immediately boost sales.

Kanye West Get’s Sued for Beat Jacking

the surg3on — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:21:43 +0000

You could’ve known this was going to happen at some point or another. Kanye West, known for saying, "Don’t ever give me a record I can’t sample". Real musicians call him the sample king. He has literally built his career off of taking great songs, sampling them, and making greater beats. I commend his efforts; however, Mr. West, please pay your dues.

He is being sued for allegedly sampling the 1985 song, "Good Life". D’Mystro filed the suit on March 20th, 2008 and said, "he didn’t obtain a license to use" works from his volume of songs. He seeks 85% of all universe sales of the song. We all know why he waited this long right? Hmmm. Longer for the song to rotate, more he could potentially make. If he wins this lawsuit, he will walk away with king’s ransom. Apparently he feels that Kanye’s rendition of the song hurts the reputation of the song that D’Mystro put out years ago.
