Kanye West Speaks Out About Happiness

As most of you know Kanye West's mother recently passed away in November of 2007.  For somebody who has suffered such a great unexpected loss, he sure is positive.  He proves his point in the following speech that money does NOT buy happiness:

don't do anything I don't love anymore... I loved the flashing lights vid so it didn't matter 2 me if someone one else didn't. While people chase money I pursue happiness. So many people talk about there investments or how much money they have but there's so many rich people who spend a lot of that trying 2 buy a piece of happiness. If there's anything my mom taught me is to enjoy life. I just recorded my first verse in the last 6 months 2 days ago at Bape's Studio in Japan. It felt good and I was inspired. I absolutely lost my mind (in a good way) on the new Glow in the Dark tour. The constant hours of creating helped me 2 keep from loosing my mind in a bad way. Chris Milk told me tragedy can produce great art and this is definitely true. I am a total mad man now, up till 3 am every night, trying 2 fight pain, board-um, and uncertainty with creativity. All that said, life is good..... good as finding the perfect fabric for a simple one button casual blazer with matching pants.

 

Based on this little speech by Kanye, I can't wait to hear what he has in store for his next album.

Happy New Year 2008

Happy new years party people.  2007 was a great year for hip hop and music in general.  There were some highs, and some lows.  We lost a few good men and some great new artists popped up.  Our boy Spice one took a few near fatal bullets and our boy Pimp C, rest his soul passed long before his time. Also Kanye West lost his mother in a tragic plastic surgery recovery gone bad.

Janet Jackson dropped one of the hottest 'leaked' tracks ever with 'Feedback'.  50 Cent was accused of dating half the females in R&B as well as losing a monster sales competition to Kanye West.

My man Soulja Boy rocked the world with his Ring tone Rap  track 'Crank That' which has managed to not only create a new bread of music, it has also unraveled a new dance!

In non hip hop related news, Britney Spears Sister, Jamie Lynn Spears has continued the family tradition of being a whore by getting knocked up at the tender age of 16 by a very wholesome church going 19 year old.

If there was a year for any rapper, I'd have to give the award to Lil' Wayne; that man has been featured on so many tracks, its unbelievable.  If you hadn't heard of Wayne, before 2007, I'm positive you know who the man is now, and if you don't you must be living up under a rock.

There has been many other happenings this year as well, but  if I was to sum everything up, you'd probably stop reading and head somewhere else, so I'll keep this short and sweet!

Hope everybody had a great 2007 and have nothing but positive endeavors planned for 2008!

50 Cent Engaged To A Chef

Yea, I could potentially be blowing smoke out my ass on this one, but you really never know in the world of hip hop.  50 Cent has made his way back into the rumor mill and this time, it is in regards to him allegedly being engaged to a Chef!

You are probably wondering what the hell happened to Ciara?

Well, this will most likely blow over just like the Ciara rumor since this girl 50 apparently is planning to marry has Kanye West in her top friends on Facebook!

50 Cent Supports Kanye West

After what come across as a monster rivalry of two giants earlier this year with 50 Cent and Kanye West's albums going head to head, 50 Cent showed some extreme compassion recently in regards to the recent passing of Kanye West's mother Danda West.

"That's really an unfortunate situation and I hope he can work his way through it," 50 told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday. "It's good to see him actually touring: You can work your way back into a comfortable space where you can deal with those situations."

For those unfamiliar, Kanye West's mother passed away a few weeks ago at home from complications while recovering from plastic surgery.  The exact cause of death is still unknown.

Even though there has been months of dissing each other, 50 Cent claims he has never considered Kanye West a rival.

"He's a talented artist.  I actually sat with him during the creation of 'Curtis' while he was creating his new album," said 50.

"I never viewed him as an actual enemy; what I was trying to do is build a competition."

Kanye West's Mom Dies During Plastic Surgery

I am very sad to report that hip hop mogul Kanye West's mother has  recently passed away.  Donda West passed while having a simple cosmetic surgery procedure done.

According to spokes person Patricia West, the cause of death was stemming from a cosmetic procedure.

Kanye was in the UK when he received the bad news and immediately hopped on a plain to return to LA.  Donda West was a mere 58 years old.

RIP Donda.

50 Cent Mocks Kanye West At Powerhouse 2007

 

The Powerhouse 2007 concert took place in Phily over the weekend and just happened to feature a surprise guest, 50 cent.  It is believed that 50 Cent filled in for rapper T.I. while he is away on his 'legal Vacation'.

Anyways, 50 cent came on stage, then started bumping Kanye West's 'Stronger' beat with a pair of Stunna sunglasses.  He then began to dance around and mock Kanye.  He whipped off his shirt, spun it around his head then asked the crowd if he was still number one.  The crowd of course went nuts.

Later that night at the show, Kanye came out and said something along the lines of “Ain’t y’all tired of fake a** rappers who dont make real music and run they mouth?". He never directly mentioned mr. Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, but it was pretty damn evident that was who his comments were towards.  Here is a video of 50 mocking Kanye.

Kanye West Says He's The #1 Human In Music

Kanye West is claiming he is the #1 human in music at this time.

You may call this statement egotistical, but none the less,  he is stating the facts.  Kanye is currently topping not only the hip hop charts, but the entire billboard hot singles charts as well.

Kanye West was caught doing a victory lap backstage prior to going on the Wendy Williams Experience.  Once on the set, he was recorded saying the following:

"I just want to say I'm the number one artist in the world right now," Ye boasted . "I want you to document this right here. What I'm saying right now. I am the number one human being in music. That means any person that's living or breathing is...number two. Cause I'm number one right now."

Timbaland Wants To Dual Dr. Dre

It looks like the Kanye West vs 50 Cent rivalry has sparked interest of other artists looking to increase their future sales. 

The next inline appears to be the giant current known as Timbaland.  He wants to go up against his mentor/big brother Dr.Dre.

Here is what Timbaland told MTV.com: "I gotta go against my daddy," he said Friday from the ABC studios in New York, where the super-producer is filming a guest spot for the soap opera "One Life to Live." "I call [Dr.] Dre my daddy. To make it be some talk, I gotta go against my big brother. He's my big brother. [Who are] the two  quarterbacks? Peyton Manning and Eli? When they have to go against each other, it's like, 'Do I really wanna go against my big brother?' Dre is my mentor. That would drive people to the stores. Like, 'Oh snap, Tim and Dre!' That would be big. I asked Jay-Z who he would go against. He said, 'The only person I would go against is my other homeboy: my friend Eminem.' "

This sales tactic is going to get old fast if this is the new method to sell records!

50 Cent Didn't Lose To Kanye West

While everybody has been crowning Kanye West the opening week champion, there may be a caveat that was overlooked.  The sound scan results that were released were only for North America and overlooked Europe.

According to sources 50 Cent sold as many as 2 million records across Europe landing himself in the #1 spot across the pond while Kanye West only managed to climb to the third position on the European charts.

Coincidentally, prior to the sound scan results 50 Cent had allegedly canceled his European tour which magically happened to become 'uncanceled' after the European results were released.

Maybe 50 Cent won't have to retire from solo albums after all.
