Martin Margiela Lock and Key

This is a pretty fly ass necklace and medallion. The silver makes it pop but it would be nicer in black silver.
The key to a man's heart aint dinner neither... Spotted on THE BEAST.

Kanye & Estelle Live At EMA's

URB Magazine Reviews 808's & Heartbreak

In basketball, they call it a "heat check." Kobe Bryant has just hit eight shots in a row, so he pulls up from 35 feet just because he's open, just because he can, just to see how hot he really is. Most of the time, these shots tend to clang off the side of the rim. Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak is that.

There is almost no rapping on 808s & Heartbreak. Only a particularly villainous guest spot from Young Jeezy could qualify as actual rhyming. And it's an album highlight. And yes, Kanye uses autotune throughout the entire album.

Whether those same fans will buy into Kanye's heat check is unknown, but the idea is so focused (and occasionally flirting with monotony), that they'll be forced to tear it off the wall...either to stomp on and throw in the trash or steal it for their own wall.

So essentially if you fux with Love Lockdown, You'll likely fux with the album.

Kanye West - Love Lockdwon (Video)

Ellen with the exclusive. haha. The video is dope. I'm glad Ye is on some I don't fux with MTV shit.

Love Lockdown Remix ft. Jin

Jin couldn't find an instrumental so he just looped the intro and a few different parts. lol. I'm sure now yeezy will hit him up for a real one though. I fux with this. What say the rest of you?

Love Lockdown Re-DEUX(che)

Ye tweaked a few things. I still like how it sounds. Anyone that says it's not hip-hop is an idiot. It goes without saying it's not hip-hop. He didn't tell you it was gonna be a hip-hop record so I don't know what makes you automatically assume it's gonna be like people can't do something different than what they've normally done in the past. HATERS!

Love Lockdown - Hi Haters

If you haven't heard this track yet. You're in a cave. I was in a cave on purpose. I wasn't excited to hear this. Every blog and forum I happened upon decided it was a terrible song.

This really got me going. The hater inside me wanted to come out for this song. But he started nodding his head and I realized. This is a good song. The Autotune isn't over the top T-pain excessive, and so what if Kanye wants to sing? Mothafuckas can't win for losing out here.

I know everyone is tired of the T-Pain Roger Troutman thing. I am too. But you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Henry will blast me for comparing it to Love Below and it's a reach but mothafuckas hated the same way when Dre just wanted to do some different shit. Then he came back ripped up a few remixes and he's #1 on everyone's list? C'mon gawd!

Say what you say about Phonte and his SV-ish group. The mothafucka is a genius.
