Kanye West Headlines The Lollapalooza Tour In Chile (Video)
April 3, 2011
This is just another example of how I keep telling people that Kanye West is a bigger artist internationally than Jay-Z. I’ve travelled around the world enough to see it first hand in multiple countries. In this video above Kanye headlines a recent show for Lollapalooza down in South America with Pusha T in tow. The crowd is singing Kanye’s songs word for word down there in Chile & they don’t even speak english as their primary language. Anyone who’s travelled the world enough will tell you that around the globe the two biggest hip hop artists are Kanye West & Eminem. Both 50 Cent & Snoop Dogg would also edge out Jay-Z in terms of Global popularity. Jay-Z opened up for U2 in Australia a few months back & couldn’t even get the stadium a quarter full during his set. Check out more video from the show under the hood & watch how Kanye has the crowd ROCKIN!!!!

New Music: Kojoe – ‘May Day’
March 7, 2011
Japanese hip hop artist Kojoe drops this new joint called ‘May Day’ which is the first single from the upcoming ‘Mixed Identities 1.5’ mixtape due this year. Â The project continues with the ‘Mixed Identities’ concept which is relative to Kojoe’s upbringing as a native Japanese Hip Hop artist who has also spent time in Queens & was at one time signed to Rawkus Records. Â The original concept is also evident in his decision to continue to rhyme in both Japanese & English & yet & still sound cohesive for hip hop fans from the ‘Far East Coast’ to the East Coast of the U.S. to still fully vibe with it. Â The track was produced by J. Cardim who’s done work with Joe Budden, Lil Wayne, Little Brother, Akon, Ludacris, Saigon, & many other notables in the rap game stateside. I also reposted one of my favorite joints from Kojoe called ‘Paper’ as a bonus track as well. Â Make sure you check out his website IAMKOJOE.COM & peep the tracks….

Dirty Money: Last Ride From London (Video)
February 5, 2011
Honestly I think the Diddy-Dirty Money album wasn’t that bad of an album, but the primary thing that was distracting on it was Diddy himself. I didn’t think Puffy’s vocals was necessary on a few of the songs. Yeah they could have needed Diddy’s starpower to get more media interest in the group, but he could have pulled his presence back a little on some songs. Maybe he wanted to find a way to make sure the group succeeded from a publicity standpoint or still wanted to be an artist as well. I don’t know but I think Dirty Money could have succeeded without them being Diddy-Dirty Money if Puff played the back more from a vocalists perspective. In any case I found this interview on the web & thought it was interesting because the focus was on the female members of the group & not just Diddy. Not only did I dig the way it was shot, but I enjoyed the honest & open answers the ladies gave about the time leading up to the project & their relationship with each other.
