VH1 Storytellers Preview
featuring Kanye West premiers Saturday 9pm on VH1. I'm excited to see this but I really hope he doesn't disappoint. This is homie doing Stronger and it's not that bad and actually does have some cool moments and melodies but look here's my thing; The man takes himself too serious and it makes me crazy. He's a very talented dude but he's up there like proving he's got a tough voice and moving so dramatically and uhh it's just tough. It's hard to explain. It would be more endearing and sweeter if he smiled more, laughed, showed a cute side maybe. No lol's.

fuck black and blue, I'm 'bout to make this bitch Chris Brown
sorry.. it's a funny line but I'm never gonna use it.
Hey I also wanna say this because I haven't spoke about it yet. Until the truth comes out, if it ever does, I won't judge these people. Famous or not, these are dudes and chiks and shit happens and things get blown up and the papers eat you alive any chance they get. I don't give a shit about any of it. I hope CB is a good man, and I hope Ri is more than okay.

hmmm flipping the script a little bit I see..
MGMT is suing the French Government! Apparently, the group's hit song Kids was used in a sort of rally on 2 occasions without permission. The French President Nicholas Sarkozy, and the French Government which has very strong rules about anti-piracy and illegally downloading music and movies from the internet, are now trying to apologize and pay the necessary royalties but the American band doesn't seem to be with it. Ha! I mean, yes it's petty sure. But funny nonetheless.
I, ronically < (spelled this way on purpose andyboy & lan), own the song in question and love it very much. So much so, I want you to illegally download it from me. You can do so here -
***French Government Approved ha!

interview with the rapper that looks like me!
the Beatles were the ILLEST.
okay, supposedly, this is an unreleased version of "Revolution 1" which can be found on The White Album. It is over 10 minutes long and it's called "Take 20". It sounds like it could be the missing part between Revolution 1 and Revolution 9. Around the 4 minute mark, the song becomes very experimental and there's some interesting dialogue between Yoko and John towards the end. It has not been confirmed, as of yet, that it is in fact an official Beatles recording, but for Andyboy and Chris Daddy we hope.
wtf is up with this guy?
Joaquin Phoenix has been milling around town just bugging the fuck out lately. I've taken an interest. He says he's quitting acting for good. He says he's been making "hip-hop" music. I don't know. I think he's just making fun of us. Furthermore, check this out, Casey Affleck has been following him around with a whole camera crew filming his whole life. Huh? Check him out on David Letterman here, and read this Newsweek article here and lemme know what you think.

Sean Penn takes the Best Actor Award and says "commie, homo loving sons of guns" twice, while Kate Winslet takes Best Actress and her father whistles super ill and loud. The Late Heath Ledger won Best Supporting Actor for his amazing Joker. Jennifer Aniston was right in front of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt! Hugh Jackman was pretty good. Tina Fey and Steve Martin were great together. Ben Stiller was very funny. A Japanese guy thanked "all his stuff". Mickey Rourke lost but we salute him.

Friends in dope places..
Darvin Silva+Ferola hurt the scene baby.. so if your in, or around the city tomorrow night and you wanna be fucked in your ear by a couple of famous kids.. you have somewhere to go.
Kanye "Concept" West at it again..
I dunno. Maybe I'm old fashioned. I just love 35mm, filmed in New York, downtown, sunsets, a beautiful sky, beautiful cinematography, buildings, real people, emotions.. all the things this video lacks. I get it though, Kanye is all about pushing the envelope and doing something never done before. Cool. I think this video could have been better. They "had to drop it today because there's another video out using the same technique".
Directed by Nabil Elderkin, this is Kanye West's Welcome To Heartbreak

Chris Daniel is a great kid and very talented musician all around. Besides his endearing solo stuff, he also plays lead guitar for newly formed super group The _____ ______ ___________. No link. Ya not ready. This is a parody/loving rendition Chris did of a vintage T.Shirt intro from a few years back. I think for the final mix we're gonna do some kind of hybrid joint mixing the original beat with what mothafuckin' Chris Daddy did.

Drake's So Far Gone
I posted a funny little something down below about how homie kinda looks like me and I'm better and all that. I just wanted to clear something up. I listened to this album over the last couple days and I pretty much enjoyed it. His voice sounds a little like Wayne, his beats and song structures sound a bit like 808's, and every song is sort of about the same thing but besides that.. hahahahaha.. I'm terrible. No really though, the kid is very talented. If I could talk to him I'd tell him this; Yo Drake Drizzzy, diversify your writing. Understand your not just doing joints for your niggas and your girl anymore and there's a bigger picture. I think your gonna be alright. Come into your own baby. Regardless, So Far Gone is hot.
