Kanye West announced that he will not be doing his tour of the United States and Canada with Lady Gaga. He refused to tell anyone why he canceled the tour and Lady Gaga has confirmed that she did not ask Kanye to sit this one out.
So I guess it can only be assumed that he’s ashamed to face his fans. He knows that he will face ridicule wherever he goes for his composure on the MTV Video/Music Awards. I hope that this will be turning point for Kanye into realizing that he needs to be less opinionated and more diplomatic. …read more

New up and coming artist Melanie Fiona originally caught the eye of Jay-Z but was pawned off the Kanye West because her sound better fit his genre. After hearing her, Kanye immediately had to sign her and she is currently scheduled to go on tour with him.

Melanie was on The Wendy Williams Show Live to perform her song “Give It To Me Right.” No word as to when you might be able to hear her on the radio but she’ll be there, that’s for sure.

Are they talking about “ego” or something else? The new music video from Kanye West feat Beyonce called “Ego” has been making people wonder.
“You have such a big ego…” could mean something else but who cares right, it’s got Beyonce in it. Kanye who has been known for having a huge ego could be singing about himself. The rapper has been known for his tantrums after losing top spots at award shows. He has calmed down in recent years and has been able to make fun of himself a little.

Jay-Z’s newest single now has a music video. His song “Run This Town” features Rihanna and Kanye West and has made it to third place on the Billboard Top 100 list. The Blueprint 3 album is scheduled to be released on September 11, 2009.
The video is a sort of post-apocalyptic or something. Reminds me a little of Tupac’s “California Love.” I couldn’t get the video to show you here but go ahead and watch the “Making of Run This Town.” You can see the real music video here.

Kanye West declaired himself the new “King of Pop” when addressing a Scrape TV yesterday. West, who is known for his over-inflated ego has said that after the passing of Michael Jackson it’s time now to pass on the crown.

Unfortunately someone forgot to tell Kanye that no one is ever declared King of Pop, there is no coronation or ceremony involved. Michael Jackson received the name after his close friend Elizabeth Taylor handed him a “Artist of the Decade” prize back in 1989.
If any rapper is to receive any Kingly title in the hip-hop industry it would have to go …read more
