The irony of Kanye spitting about the ageless racism of many white people while at Facebook HQ—where there is nothing but white employees. I dig the round of applause at the end. I wish I could read the minds of the onlookers.

BTW this video will probably be taken down within the day, so enjoy while you can.

One of the most important artists of my generation. Power meets influence. Kanye is a “Breaking Influential“.

“I just needed time alone with my own thoughts. Got treasures in my mind but couldn’t open up my own vault. My talent like creativity, purity and honesty is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts. Reality is catching up with me, taking my inner child I’m fightin for custody”- Kanye West

Will Dwele be in the video this time? Not sure what I’m talking about? Think “Flashing Lights”

J. Cole performs “Dead Presidents” (Freestyle) @ SOB from suitsiswatching on Vimeo.

It would be unfair to say that true-school NYC-esque lyricism is riding on his shoulders, but he is beaming ala Lupe and WE need him to succeed. Let’s continue to support this man. Check out SuitsIsWatching.com for a more in depth look at what J.Cole‘s SOBs show means to the world of Hip-Hop.

This is the most interesting site design I’ve ever seen. It is all about exploration and discovery. When I stumbled upon it, it was rather plain which immediately peaked my curiosity. As I investigated around the screen, I slowly found links to other parts of the site, seen only when my mouse moved over them. Possibly, Kanye is attempting to make a metaphor about who he is as a person. Maybe.

From what I’ve seen so far, it is more of a massive blog than anything else. Nonetheless, it is beautiful in its design and ingeniousness.

For all he says and does that annoys, he does the most creative things that make me say “Now thats beautiful.”

You know a song was worth writing when you have it touch a person that you may not have been able to originally reach. Imagine how many Fray fans just started looking through Kanye’s discography.

Great job on the video.

Word on the streets is that Mr. West has been interning at the Gap’s corporate offices in New York. A leak stated that he has been staying at the office till 12am–some nights (sounds like my life). This is refreshing. Celebrities normally do not do their due diligence with regards to secondary ventures. Just look at the graveyard of rapper clothing lines. I look forward to Kanye’s upcoming fashion house.

The record is addictive…Auto-tune ‘Ye adds his two cents. Nice art direction on the vid.

Here is the cover to the new issue of Complex–out April 7th. The cover is cool but I find the video below to be even more interesting and inspiring. Kanye West has the world in his palm.

New music from Kid Cudi produced by Kanye West. If the music industry was Marvel vs Capcom what tag team would you play with? Kanye West and Kid Cudi or Lil Wayne and Drake. Think about it…

Kid Cudi – Sky Might Fall
