Kanye West is Back Recording a New Album

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 06:58:52 +0000

Kanye West has had an eventful few months but he’s back in the studio making rhymes for an upcoming new album.

After the shocking incident at the MTV VMAs when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, he has canceled the tour with Lady Gaga, rumored to have gone on a refuge in India and has returned with a bold blog post which has given the press even more fuel to feed on.

Oh yes, and somewhere in between all that, his long awaited clothing line Pastelle, which he was promoting at the 2008 AMA Awards, has closed down before it was even launched.

With all this commotion, it’s good to hear that Kanye has gone back to what he’s best at – making music. Music that helped to propel him to being the 3rd Richest Rapper of 2009.

So far, there’s progress on the new album with Australian Connie “Miss Connie” Mitchell from the Sydney band Sneaky Sound System recording vocals for it in Hawaii.

Here’s a funny video about President Obama referring to Kanye West as a “jack-ass” over the VMA scandal.

MP3 ringtones are not the artist’s original recording

Some ringtone websites have huge lists of songs that just don’t look like they came from the original source.

http://www.monstertones.com/ringtones/rap-ringtones.htm

The link seems like it’s the rap ringtones section of MonsterTones.com
On the page, the title/logo says “Superstar Ringtones” which is a little confusing.
There’s an incredibly long list of ringtones listed and at the bottom, it states that:

MP3 ringtones are not the artist’s original recording. Artist names are used for recognition only.

Compare this site to Thumbplay and MuchMusic, you’ll see that there’s quite a difference.

LET US SOAK IN POSITIVE FORCES AND LOOK DOWN ON UPON THOSE WHO MASQUERADE AS TRUTH TELLERS AND OBJECTIVE FACT GIVERS WHEN IN FEALITY EVERYTHING THAT IS PROJECTED HAS AN AGENDA OF BRAINSTORMING US, THE “CONSUMER”, THE PUBLIC, TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY WANT US TO. LET US LOOK PAST HEADLINES AND DEAL WITH JUST A BIT OF REALITY IN THIS NEW DECADE. WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN OUTLETS NOW. WE DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING ANYMORE. NOW I’LL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE THAT RHYME LOL!!!
