There is never peace in the hip hop world. Kanye vs. 50 bet is just over, and the new one begins. Lil Wayne vs. 50 Cent is the next thing everyone is talking about. Lil Wayne's track “Gossip” which he performed at the BET Awards this weekend doesn't leave much doubt. It targets 50 Cent and addressing his previous attack on Wayne.

Nice new release from Timbaland, although he doesn't sing at all . The song is pretty good and I like the simple studio style video

Kanye West blog

Sun, 30 Sep 2007 21:10:43 GMT

Kanye got a new blog - check it out http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/ . Apparently he blogs a lot, about 3-5 posts a day. I wonder how does he find time for that. The blog is pretty new, so I hope he sticks to it. Pretty cool to see Kanye blogging. You can also join his community, which I did. Don't know if he plans to do something for his fans, like a social network maybe. For now you can ju... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

It looks like Kanye West is taking the trophy!

So today is the day, both artists release new albums. Who is going to win the battle they started last month? We will have to wait till next week to find out the results.

Another track from Fifty's album "Curtis". One of my favorites so far

Rihanna ripps off New Order

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 02:56:48 GMT

Should we call it inspiration? I don't know, the new "Shut up and drive" by Rihanna always sounded familiar to me, untill I saw this video mash up. It's a complete ripp off from the New Order song - "Blue Monday". This video is amazingly done, so you have no doubt. It's hard to invent new tunes these days, but stars like Rihanna just shouldn't be doing this. ... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

No day without Kanye new release, I just love it. Here is another track from kanye's upcoming album. This time he collaborates with Chris Martin from Coldplay and it sounds amazing. It's probably one of the best collaborations of the year. I can't wait for the entire Kanye album to come out, what we've heard so far is his best work ever. Check out other tracks in my previous posts.... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Kanye "Good Life" Gets Entourage

Tue, 28 Aug 2007 04:34:27 GMT

Kanye West made a smart move when he released his new song "Good Life" in the latest episode of Entourage last nite. He gave a list to the Entourage guys to cann on his own private jet and entertained them with his new song. very smart! The buttle between Kanye and 50 Cent is still on and at this point hard to tell who wins. Probably the fans, because we get new cool releases every week haha... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

New video from Curtis album. 50 cent does some soft R&B, which I kinda like, although it's not typical for him. Dustin Hoffman makes a guest appearance - another reason to watch the video. Enjoy and don't forget to buy his album coming out in October , after all you have to support 50, youtube doesn't pay him even a quarter :)... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Kanye West new video is all about farm life and tractors

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 20:42:46 GMT

You wouldn't expect this one from Kanye West, that's for sure. The new lipsynching video shows the comedian Zach Galifianakis running around his farm, riding tractors and doing whole bunch of nonsense. There is also a group of backdancers dancing folk and just whole scene is very absurd. there is no explanation about this video and no word about what's Kany'e connection to the comedian.

This opportunity was too good to be missed. The show was an obvious candidate for the video game adaptation. I can't wait for the game to come out, in about a year from now. The game will feature the entire cast and the story should be pretty similar to the series. Sounds promising.... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

Sia's new nusic video is the funnies thing you've seen this summer! The song "Buttons" (hidden track) from her new album 'Some People Have Real Problems'. The video was directed by Kris Moyes. have fun!

New Kanye West Video - "Stronger"

Fri, 20 Jul 2007 05:49:25 GMT

This is the first video for Kanye's upcoming album - "Graduation". Surprising collaboration with Daft Punk makes this song very unique, still keeping the signature Kanye sound, but makes it few levels cooler with the Daft Punks electronic layers. I'm addicted to this song. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album which is due later this summer. GO Kanye!... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

I give Ocean's Thirteen about half of thirteen - 6.5. It's definitely worth seeeing, but not if you are really interested in the story line or something minor like that. It's worth seeing beacuse there is one of the most impressive actor lineups in the movies history, let me just list them all: Al Pacino, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, and Ellen Barki...

Minutes to Midnight

You definitely need to give a second chance to this album, since it's mostly brilliant and gets better the more you listen to it. "Minutes to Midnight"was well worth the wait! The lyrics are outstanding and amazing! It's definitely different from what they've done, but also more mature. I'm glad they didn't just make the same old style songs. Some of the highlights are What I've Done, Leave Out Al... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

This is one of those albums that you need to listen to few times before you even consider to make an opinion or write a review. So I did. Every time I liked it even more. It's sort of new sound for the Modest Mouse, but it's more energized and diverse. Amazing music arrangements on "Dashboard", "Fire It Up", "Parting Of The Sensory", "Little Motel", "People As Places As People" and "Invisible". It... [Original Post on MyItThings.com]

I couldn't care less about comparing Will Ferrel to his other movies, but he and the Napoleon actor were both great in this, period. Seeing them dance to "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" is hilarious.
