Kanye West Becomes An Author

I'm sure you all are waiting to read the thoughts and theories of the world according to Yeezy. Well wait no more. The book, which is 52 pages thick with some blank and some with just a few words, will offer such jems as,"Get used to being used" and "I hate the word hate!" So deep.

Kanye says, "Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed...I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph...I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life." The book will hit stores July 7th. source

New Video: Kanye West - 'Paranoid'

It features Rihanna and she looks absolutely stunning. No more Blondyke for Kanyeezy I guess.

Snap Shots......

Awww, Rih Rih's smiling again. I'm not sure about the rooster/cockatoo hair, but she looks great. In music news, it's being revealed that Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and Drake will be appearing on her new album which will drop later this year.

Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Reggie Bush were spotted in Miami. Is it just me or does she look a bit thinner? And does Reggie still play football, because we never see very many pics of him in New Orleans or practicing? He's always by this chicks side. This dude was hyped up to do big thing in the NFL, coming out of college. Talk about a bust. pic source

Snap Shots......

Stars are hitting up the Costume Institute’s “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” tonight. pic source In her first high profile appearance since her altercation with Chris Brown, Rih Rih shows up in a Dolce & Gabbana tux. OK......At least she ditched the Jheri Curl.

New Music: The Clipse Feat. Kanye West - 'Kinda Like A Big Deal' // Kelly Rowland & David Guetta - 'When Love Takes Over'

Like I said before, the sh*t is hot. The track was co-produced by DJ Khalid.

I'm liking this. I wonder if on her upcoming project Kelly will go more in a euro-pop direction.

New Music: Christina Milian - 'Zipper' (Snippet)//Teairra Mari Feat. Kanye West - 'Diamonds'

This is hot, I must admit. Maybe all of that publicity whoring will pay off this time.

Donda West's Surgeon Gives Up Medical License

According to the California medical board, Jan Adams, the doctor who performed surgery on Kanye West's mom the day before she died, has given up his medical license. The medical board's spokesperson said that a series of complaints have been filed against Dr. Adams. Those complaints were "two DUI convictions and failure to pay child support. His record also shows at least four malpractice judgments against him between 2001 and 2007." source

As The World Turns: Kanye West To Work On His Ego

Kanye West addressed last nights episode of 'South Park' on his blog. He said that the episode was funny but it did hurt his feelings and he pledged to control his ego. I don't know, I'll believe it when I see it. Besides, what's Kanye without his supersized ego? The ego is what makes Kanye. Don't lose the ego, Kanye. Keep the ego. The ego is your friend. The ego needs to tell you to stop blogging in all caps. source

Kanye West Parodied on South Park

They've got Kanye down from the 'Heartless' like beat to the afro-mullet.

New Music: Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Promise

Listen: Maybach Music 2

Here's Rick Ross featuring Kanye West, T-Pain, and Lil' Wayne. Sounds like a winner to me.

Listen: Watch Me Make A Movie

Here you have Yung Joc featuring DJ Khaled giving his usual standardized club thumper. If it ain't broke......

Listen: In My City

Here's Promise featuring Drake. Both are coming from Toronto. This is Aiight, but I still like Drake, he's becoming one of my favorites.

Kanye West And Rihanna Get Fragrance Deals

Both Rihanna and Kanye West are hitting fragrance deals because both are linked to Jay-Z's Iconic Fragrances company. Parlux Fragrances Inc. have signed an agreement with the company to create scents for the both. Kanye West and Rihanna's scents will hit store selves by the summer of 2010.

This is interesting because the fragrance market, I think, has been a bit over saturated with a load of celebrities having their own fragrance bottles. Kim Kardashian has a fragrance in the works too. So who's next? Jim Jones? Lil' Wayne? Ewww, nevermind. source

Kanye West, Common, And Erykah Badu Ripped This Freestyle

Kanye West For Complex Magazine

Famed photographer Chris Milk used the same computer generation studio that was used for Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The pics are super dope. Here's a sample of the interview:

Q: Has the recession affected you?

Kanye West: Yeah, I try to avoid it overly affecting me. But some shit has happened, like Best Buy was supposed to [shoot and produce] the tour DVD and they pulled out of it. I definitely got hit with that, because not shooting it was not an option, so I had to pay for it.

Q: Why do you think there’s such a fixation on your sexuality?

Kanye West: I really think it’s because society tries to dictate the way a guy is supposed to dress and the way a guy is supposed to act, and I refuse to conform. A lot of these dudes would never be accused of being gay just because they all look exactly alike. If people could just realize the amount of mundaneness and followers that lack creativity… I think people’s mentality is like, Only gay people are that creative. And it’s true there are a lot of gay people who are incredible creative minds, but there are straight people who are incredible creative minds—and there’s gay people who can’t dress or create at all, too. Closed-minded gay people probably say they dress “straight.”

Q: What was the turning point?

Kanye West: I guess my mom passing and getting out of certain situations and just being myself. Just getting the opportunity to be me and not be concerned about what people are going to say about things—to be my own worst critic. Like, I look at my Grammy speech from last year and I cringe. Me and Common always had an inside joke about releasing albums in different years, and it came off completely wrong. Nobody got it and it made me look like a complete asshole, and it just confirmed that Kanye’s arrogant and not appreciative. You should always be gracious in a situation like that because that’s their show. You know, who the fuck am I to feel like I have rights to any extra time when it’s their show? I came in as a bit of a hothead and now I’m completely respectful; I really have the opportunity to live my dreams out and have my Grammy moments and build a great relationship with these people. And I learned from that; I publicly apologized for it, and I apologized to Common for the way it sounded.

As The World Turns: Kanye's Lastest Rant

UUUUM.... I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE THINKING I DON'T DO MY BLOG ... SIGH!!!!! When I posted the info on the Clevland Show ... I left it in third person on purpose because it was via the Urb blog. See I even spelled Clevland wrong so you would know it's me... I got fresh pics from when I went to record up there but I just hadn't organized them all at that time... I do have a lot of dope stuff that I don't blog just cause I'm running around so much. I do have a person who administrates my post as I've stated before, but it runs the same as it always has.... I guess with a few less rants though because I'm like mad happy ( oxy moron... haha) if I spelled moron wrong it would make me actually a bit of a moron lol) .... Oh and why do people always write LOL at the end of there text when there's nothing to laugh out loud about. Some people LOL me to death. If I had BBM it would say.... "It's the real Kanye bitch and I don't twitter!!!" ...if I ever decide to, just 'Men in Black' that last statement from your memory. LOL!!! SOUTH BY SOUTH WEST TOMORROW!! LINK

Can I pull this fool's Chi-town Card? lol And yes, I lol'd. Still love ya Kanye.
