A Kanye West Fan Has an Epic Easter-Related Idea for a Surprise Release

Kanye West isn’t the only person around who praises his music and is blessed with creativity, Kanye’s fans often meet the description as well. And KanyeToThe.com user “AlexClay” had an epic pitch for how Kanye should release his forthcoming and highly anticipated album, So Help Me God.

The ‘Jesus Walks’ rapper has always allowed religion to play a role in his music. While some of his lyrics may not be so holy, Kanye’s “G.O.O.D. Friday” series is just one example of how Christianity is infused in his music promotion. And how does one Kanye fan propose that Ye continue this theme for his new album? For Easter Sunday tomorrow, Kanye should hide physical copies of So Help Me God (or perhaps individual tracks) around major cities throughout the world. Our two cents is that Kanye could even use USB drives hidden in plastic Easter eggs. Then after the eggs have been hidden, Kanye could simply send a tweet for his fans to start their hunt. The most epic Easter Egg Hunt of all time! We already have an idea of where Mr. West would hide copies in Chicago.

You have one day left to roll with this idea Kanye, get to work! Please!

You may know him from his feud with Riff Raff, where Jody Highroller accused him of copying his style, you also may know him because many think he looks like a ghetto James Franco. But no matter how you were first introduced to Florida rapper Alien, he just scored a huge name for his upcoming album Hangin’ With Da Dopeboys, named after his lead single of the same name.

According to sources, Kanye West will executively produce Alien’s forthcoming LP. “Seth Rogen told me you have to check out this guy Alien,” said Kanye. “Ever since then, it was Bound 2 happen.” Kanye is also set to provide a couple verses to the album, now joining ‘Freaks and Geeks’ rapper Childish Gambino on the LP. While we don’t normally condone actors who try rapping, Gambino should still be a good fit. You can expect Alien’s highly anticipated project sometime this year, and if you’re headed down to Florida anytime soon, be sure to catch one his performances on your Spring Break.

Watch some behind the seen footage of Alien’s day-to-day life below!

Yesterdau, Jay-Z’s new artist-owned streaming service TIDAL held a huge press conference with a lot of star-power. TIDAL describes itself as “the first music streaming service that combines the best High Fidelity sound quality, High Definition music videos and expertly Curated Editorial.” In attendance for the press conference was Jay-Z, Beyonce, Kanye West, Jack White, Daft Punk, and Rihanna (just to name a few). Seeing so many great artists team up for one common goal, we couldn’t help but be reminded of the artists in the room that have made great music together in the past.

Of course Jay-Z has made a plethora of hits with friend Kanye West and wife Beyonce, but a lot of the collaborations in the room are maybe under your radar.

Jay-Z’s new music streaming service “TIDAL”, is coming with a huge announcement in just 16 hours from now (at 4:00 PM Central), and Hov may have something big in-store. Correction… Hov WILL have something big in-store, it is just a matter of what. Tidal is described as “the first music streaming service that combines the best High Fidelity sound quality, High Definition music videos and expertly Curated Editorial,” and we will certainly know more in less than a day’s time.

One reasonable theory with a bit of supportis that Kanye West’s highly anticipated forthcoming album, So Help Me God, will be released exclusively through TIDAL. Not only are Kanye and Jay close friends and long-time collaborators, but Kanye is rumored to have a 3% stake in the new service. And how could Kanye help out his big brother and make himself a lot of money at the same time? By a surprise release of his 7th studio album to support TIDAL’s launch, an album that is has been closed to finished for months. Finally, while Kanye could just be showing his support, his new tweet (below) and Twitter icon may foreshadow a surprise release. “Together, we can turn the tide and make music history. Start by turning your profile picture blue. #TIDALforALL”, tweeted Ye.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

UNCUT: Rolling Stones Guitarist Ronnie Wood’s Glastonbury Comments on Kanye West are Racist

Uncut
BY DAN GARCIA

I was always on the Rolling Stones side of the Beatles vs. Stones debate… until today. Speaking with the U.K.’s Daily Mirror, Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood thinks it’s “bloody ridiculous” that Kanye West is headlining Glastonbury and to be honest, it came off “bloody racist.” Talking in response to a recent online petition, that gathered thousands of signatures to remove Kanye from Glastonbury’s lineup, Wood said “It’s bloody ridiculous that Kanye is the headline act this year. It pisses me off so I try not to think about it too much.” Wood supported tried to support his comments by saying:

Travis Scott Talks Kanye, Kid Cudi, J. Cole Comments and Unique Album Release

In a new interview with MTV, G.O.O.D. Music rapper Travis Scott covered a number of topics including his Rodeo Tour, working with Kanye West and Drake, Kid Cudi, his comments about J. Cole and Chance the Rapper, and his forthcoming debut album. Speaking on his Rodeo Tour and when he told fans to get hype, reminding them that his show isn’t a J. Cole or Chance the Rapper concert, Travis told MTV that there was no disrespect meant towards either but his show is different and like a “real life circus”.

And fans who have caught the circus can get excited for La Flame’s upcoming debut album, Rodeo. Scott specifically took time to talk about the unique release method of his upcoming album (and no it won’t be a “surprise album”), “the way I’m dropping the album this year, is different than others.” He said though that he won’t drop his album until there is a Kid Cudi collaboration (the two have been in the studio together though). Another treat from the interview, speaking on Kanye West’s new album, is that ‘All Day’ is nowhere near the hardest banger on the album. So get excited for Ye’s new album, Mr. Solo Dolo meets La Flame, and check out the full interview below.

Kanye West Cancels His Scheduled Appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”

No SXSW for Mr. West, as Jimmy Kimmel announced Wednesday that Kanye West canceled his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week. “Willie Nelson will be here in studio with us,”Kimmel said of Friday night’s show. “Kanye West was supposed to be here, too but he canceled, or maybe he’s planning to jump on stage unexpectedly to interrupt Willie. So if you do not like Kanye West, make sure to tune in Friday night to not see him.” We guess Jimmy didn’t take the cancellation too well. Not only is Kanye no longer appearing on Kimmel this Friday, but while he also was originally rumored to perform at Stubb’s 2015 South by Southwest party this year, new rumors suggest that this surprise appearance will not happen as well. While we have no idea what these cancellations mean, let’s be optimistic that it means Kanye’s forthcoming So Help Me God album is coming soon.
