Well, well, well, what do we have here? Looks like Kanye West has enlisted Kendrick Lamar for the official remix of his blazing single, “All Day.” Details are slim to non-existent at this point, but we do know Kanye was INSPIRED BY KENDRICK after he heard To Pimp A Butterfly, and – most importantly – we’ve got a super brief snippet for you to chew on while you wait for the full version to drop.
Throughout his career Kanye has shown his admiration and love for his mom in many ways. He named his creative agency after her; closed his 2008 album 808s and Heartbreaks with a deeply profound statement addressed to her (“Goodbye my friend, I will never love again” Kanye said on “Coldest Winter”); described his recent single “Only One,” as his mother singing to daughter North West through him; and, of course, “Hey Mama.”
Now, video of Kanye and his mom rapping together in a kitchen has surfaced, and it’s sure to leave you in tears. Taken from an MTV special detailing the making of Late Registration, the clip features the two talking about a rap Kanye came up with, followed by the two singing “Hey Mama” together. It’s simultaneously beautiful and sad: another glimpse into a relationship that still means so much to Kanye.

Kanye can finally put the civil lawsuit filed against him by paparazzo photographer, Daniel Ramos. Nearly two years ago, Kanye was sued after “assaulting” Ramos outside of LAX. According to TMZ, one of the stipulations of the settlement was an apology. No word on how much Ramos settled for.
So and So,
Each generation champions a superstar, so consistently relevant that they come to accompany that generation through its evolution, being a part of and ultimately shaping its identity. Such past icons have been the likes of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, John Lennon, or Michael Jackson. For this generation, Generation Y, Kanye West is not only its greatest spectacle, but in some senses, a spiritual figure.We are here to spread a doctrine. Well, a pseudo-doctrine. We ask you to use your pulpit for Good.
A few months ago, my brothers and I embarked on a creative journey that began with a “What If?”:
Today, Jay Z threw a launch event in New York City to celebrate the re-launch of Tidal, the streaming service he recently purchased. Win and Regine from Arcade Fire, Kanye, Beyoncé, Daft Punk, Jack White, Nicki Minaj, Madonna, Rihanna, Usher, Alicia Keys, J. Cole, and many more artists were all on hand for the launch. It was announced that they are all co-owners of the service. After a speech from Alicia Keys, they all signed a declaration.

While some U.K. citizens are scrambling to have the rapper booted from the Glastonbury festival, others are lining up to hand over their hard-earned dollars for some of the rapper’s leftovers, reports Refinery 29.
User cocoacushi is selling food scraps allegedly left behind by West during his February visit to a London Nando’s.
West, 37, stopped by the fast-food chicken restaurant to surprise fans and jump on tables before the Brit Awards on Feb. 25. After the rapper departed, this enterprising fan reportedly scooped up Kanye’s leftovers and later decided to turn them into cash.
Remember back in 2008 when British music fans (including the perpetually grouchy Noel Gallagher) got their knickers in a bunch because Jay Z was headlining Glastonbury? There was an outcry over Jay being the first rapper to headline Glastonbury, apparently because he wasn’t “rock” enough to handle the top slot on the bill.
Well, it’s 2008 all over again. Glastonbury booked Kanye West to headline the festival’s Saturday lineup, and fans are already demanding that Yeezus be dumped from the lineup.
According to a Change.org petition signed by more than 21,000 people (as of Tuesday afternoon), it’s because “Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world” and not “deserving.”
Why isn’t Kanye good enough for Glastonbury? The reason, of course, is rock elitism. “Cancel Kanye West’s slot and get a rock band,” the petition demands, adding, “We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment.” For the record, Foo Fighters are headlining Friday night’s Glastonbury lineup.
