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.
You didn’t like U2’s new free album showing up on your iPhone? Neither did Tyler the Creator. In a hilarious multiple tweet rant, Tyler (@fucktyler) almost singe-handedly made ‘F*ck Bono’ trending on Twitter while venting over the album’s promotion on through Apple.
Big Sean has been hinting all week that we should expect new ‘GOOD’ music. Today Sean dropped 4 new tracks, which feature production by Kanye West, Key Wane, Nate Fox, and MikeWillMadeIt.

Chance the Rapper took to his Instragram today to preview some of his new and never before heard music. However, there no details yet on the when we can expect to hear more but the snippets were tracks in collaboration with The Social Experiment (a producer group comprised of Nico Segal, Nate Fox, and Peter CottonTale). With fans hungry for an opportunity to finally buy a physical copy of a Chance the Rapper project (as he as only released free mixtapes), these snippet will have to tide us all over meanwhile.
The city of Chicago took a step towards public health and wellness Wednesday by banning smoking in public parks, a city where restaurants and bars have been smoke free for several years. Although this is the next step to making the citizens of Chicago curb their unhealthy smoking habits, will there be a negative health effect for music festival goers?
