A court commissioner dismissed the criminal charges against Kanye West today. The rapper and his tour manager Don Crawley were arrested at a Hawaii airport on September 11th for breaking two cameras during a scuffle with paparazzi. West and Crawley made a settlement with the photographers; the rapper must serve 50 hours of community service and has reportedly already completed 12 hours of anger management counseling.

50 Cent Offers Kanye a Knuckle Sandwich

See, it was a strange dichotomy having 50 Cent on MuchOnDemand just now; on one hand, he was all cuddly and charming and smiley. On the other hand, he kinda sorta threatened a beat down. On Kanye.

When Sarah asked him what he thought about the ‘Ye VS Taylor situation, 50 said he felt for Swift, and that maybe Kanye should steal one of HIS trophies so he can walk away with a black eye. Haaaaaaaaaa. Remember when these dudes had “beef“? Maybe time to reignite those fires in time for 50’s album to come out in November…

So I’m sitting here perusing the various media outlets and their post-coverage of last night’s VMAs, and no big surprise, Rich at FourFour has the best recap out there (read it here). As always, expect amazing gifs, some of which I’ll use here, to dazzling effect.

Now, on to the things that I’d like to discuss - things that kinda fell by the wayside on account of all the Kanye hoopla.

Drake, Em, Wayne and Kanye Record Track

Drake, Eminem, Kanye West and Lil’ Wayne have all joined forces in “Forever”. The song was written for the soundtrack to the upcoming LeBron James documentary More Than a Game. It’s especially poignant because poor Lil’ Wayne has been begging Eminem to do a song for like, decades. “Forever” is available for download on iTunes.

First Official Drake Video = Come ON!!!!

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

You’ve got the hype of a billion souls behind you, you’ve got a BIG TUNE that sets clubs on fire, and you scored KANYE WEST to direct your video. But somewhere, somehow, something went a liiiiiiittle bit wrong. For your first music video out of the gate, it had to come HARD. And this? Doeeesssss not. I am saying this constructively, with love. MAD, crazy, wild, monkey love. We, the people, are disappointed.

I’m not putting this on Drake - I’m putting this in the hands of Kanye or management (I’m not sure if there was actually a record label to deal with at the time of shooting). With ‘Ye’s unique catalogue of directed videos, I would have imagined something innovative and stylish. With Drake’s viral spread of his mixtape, I would have hoped for a video that was equally shareable. Am I being too much of a hater? What do you think of it?

I never got a chance to see the leaked “Paranoid” before it went offline, so now I guess I’m gonna have to wait for the real thing! But that’s not bad - cause I only wanna see what Kanye thinks is GREAT. So there.
