Kanye West is a lot of things but he’s not dead.  Rumors have been circulating that the rapper had perished in a car accident but his girlfriend, Amber Rose, has said that these reports are not true.

The whole thing started after a fraudulent website made it look like Fox News was saying Kanye had died in a “bizarre car crash in Los Angeles.”  The site has since been taken down.
I’m guessing this ridiculousness got started after people say that insane 11-minute film of his, We Were Once in a Fairytale.  It was absolutely crazy (if you haven’t seen it, check …read more

There has been all kinds of speculation about this but Kanye West has officially cancelled his tour.  Organizer, Live Nation, made the announcement this morning.  I can’t say that I’m totally surprised but I’m actually a little worried.

After he stormed the stage at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when he felt Beyoncé should have won for “Single Ladies” instead of Taylor Swift, he stole the moment from the young singer and has been out of favor with fans ever since.
Of course, no reason has been given for the cancellation but fans will be getting their money back, which is …read more

I know that many people can appreciate some hot looking ladies running around in very skimpy basketball uniforms but that doesn’t mean it makes a great video.  Apparently, Canadian rapper, Drake, didn’t care if people thought it was cheesy (or lame, lazy, offensive, etc…) – he claims he was just trying to be funny.
According to MTV, Kanye West offered to shoot another video for the single “Best I Ever Had” but Drake actually turned him down.  “That career move was very important to me,” Drake explained.  “We’ve done such a great job of building it all up. It’s kind of …read more

After South Park made fun of Kanye West, the notoriously egotistical rapper had the following to say (in all caps, so I thought he might actually mean it): “I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER.”
I knew that wouldn’t last long.  West is back in the studio working on his new music so some self-absorbed rambling is to be expected.  MTV reports that he said the following about his new stuff:  “I kill that rap sh–, that’s what I do.  Lyrics right now, they’re …read more

The lineup for the 39th annual Roskilde Festival is shaping up and they’ve secured some huge acts. 
Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails and Oasis have all signed on to perform at the event which runs from July 2-5, 2009 just outside Copenhagen, Denmark.  They join other artists including Lily Allen, The Pet Shop Boys and Slipknot among many others.  What an eclectic group of performers!  There’s something for everyone, it seems.  I wish I could jaunt on over to Denmark to check it out.
Also, if you are an environmentally conscious person, you might be pleased to …read more

Rapper, Kanye West, was parodied (and mocked) on a recent episode of South Park but he’s taking it in stride.
Jimmy (and Cartman, I guess) come up with a joke and it causes all sorts of trouble.  The joke teller asks someone “do you like fish sticks?”  The person then says “yes” and is then immediately told “then you’re a gay fish.”  Fish sticks sounds like “fish d*cks” so if you like them (and admit to enjoying having them in your mouth), then you are a fish who is gay.  Get it?
If you don’t understand the joke, you’re not alone since …read more
