Yesterday, we joined the minority of media outlets by coming to Kanye’s defense about the whole ‘wheelchair incident’. For those who don’t know Kanye recently was met with media backlash after he stopped the music at an Australian concert to make sure everyone got up out of their seats. After learning a certain individual wasn’t standing because they were in a wheelchair, Kanye continue the show (a clear misunderstanding and a story which should have never been a story in the first place).
Check out the next hit from top young DJ, Martin Garrix, with a electronic beat the sounds like a hybrid of EMD and dope beat that should have been in a Sonic The Hedgehog game.
OVO’s PARTYNEXTDOOR is headed to a city near you as party of his upcoming and headlining North American tour. The tour begins this October in Canada and will hit New York, Dallas, Atlanda, Toronto, Chicago, LA and many other cities.
A week after Jennifer Hudson was added to the initial lineup of Common’s AAHH! Fest, another Chicago native has been added, rapper Twista. You may know him from ‘Slow Jamz’ or being one of the fastest rappers to every rap, but this Chicago legend will certainly add to the already great lineup.
Today during his Australian tour, Kanye West stopped the music to again talk about the press and address the wheelchair incident, where such sources as Fox Newsinaccurately reported that Kanye “tried to shame a man in a wheelchair to stand.” Well folks, there are a lot of good members of the press out there, but Kanye was pretty spot on today in Australia.
There are just 15 days (September 30th) until the eligibility period ends for the 57th annual Grammy awards. In what looks to be an arguably week year for critically acclaimed albums, and what has also been the year for surprise releases, some of your favorite artists could still swoop in and steal the most prestigious award in music. We certainly wouldn’t rule it out.
A few days ago we reported about Tyler the Creator’s hilarious Bono rant along with his upcoming tour. Today we checked out the new Odd Future radio station, which is not only commercial free, but pretty awesome as well.
Last November, Tyler the Creator got his wish when he convinced Kanye to perform Tyler’s favorite Ye song ‘Late’ at the Odd Future Carnival, a song that Kanye had not performed in years. Although Kanye consistently delivers two-hour long setlists at his tours, full of hits from his debut The College Dropout to his latest Yeezus, there are many B-side songs that we would love to see live. We reached out to Kanye fans at KanyeToThe to compile a (dark twisted) fantasy setlist full of other B-Side classics.
