Kanye rapping his heart out @ Facebook

Posted in Artists, Live Performances, Videos on July 31st, 2010 by Hyphen

Remember this story about ‘Ye rapping to Tunji and I acapella in the back of HOB Anaheim when he was on the come up?  Well that passion is still there and on full display in these videos of his recent trip to the Facebook offices this past week.  I’ve been saying for years that no other successful MC cares this much about his art.  When you combine that passion with his ability, you have the best artist in the game.

Just peep “Mama’s Boyfriend” for proof:

Kanye waxes philosophical at the Rolling Stone office

Posted in Artists, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on July 31st, 2010 by Hyphen

On last week’s SNSS, we started talking about our favorite MC’s of all time and my answer for the last decade plus has always been the late, great Big L.  I did mention that there might be another artist overtaking L in my personal list, and I think it’s actually already happened.  Kanye is hands down my favorite artist of all time, throughout any genre.  The music has been dope from day one and the man is absolutely hilarious with everything he does.  If you haven’t seen Aziz Ansari’s bit about ‘Ye, he nails it perfectly.  Dude is just so excited about everything, it’s comedy.

With the new album finished (and no longer called Good Ass Job), ‘Ye has started making the rounds to media outlets to get the buzz going.  While the above trip to the Rolling Stone office was great, the highlight of the week has clearly been his entry to the Twitterverse.  You have to follow this dude…it’s incredible.  Peep it – @kanyewest.

Be prepared for a lot of Kanye talk on TAOD.  You’ve been warned.
