It amazes me how a mass of people can be so disciplined to synchronize such a production.

Kanye Update!
Here are new promo images for Kanye's upcomin' 808's & Heartbreak album. I think the Pee Wee Herman look he's going for is cool. Be proud to be a nerd:P.
The whole album Kanye sings in auto-tune, the only rap verse is from Jeezy. On the other hand he has an auto-tune duet with Weezy, you know how Mr. Carter has been butchering auto-tune in most of his recent tracks. The rumored tracklist is below.
2. "Heartless" (Kanye West) 3:33
3. "Love Lockdown" (Kanye West) 4:31
4. "Robocop" (Kanye West)
5. "Anyway" (Kanye West)
6. "Streetlights" (Kanye West)
7. "Say You Will" (Kanye West)
8. "Bad News" (Kanye West)
9. "Amazing" (featuring Young Jeezy)
10. "Tell Everybody That You Know" (featuring Lil Wayne)
11. "Coldest Winter" (Kanye West)
I read up on Kanye's listening party earlier this week for the album and that dude does not cease to amaze. Click the read more link. The content is NSFW (Not Safe For Work)
Here's an excerpt from The Fader on Kanye's listening party,
"Last night, Kanye West publicly debuted his new album, 808s & Heartbreak, at the Ace Gallery in Los Angeles via a collaboration with Italian artist Vanessa Beecroft. After waiting in a loading area with an open bar and a DJ, we walked up a driveway illuminated by florescent lights to a darkened room where approximately forty nude women, most of them wearing face-obscuring masks seemingly made of faux lamb's wool, stood in the middle—black girls in the front, white girls in the back. Then the entire album played without introduction or explanation. The women were backlit by glowing lights—mostly red and purple, sometimes strobing, often pulsing and sporadically illuminating. When "Love Lockdown" played three songs in, some of the models started sitting down on the floor, others going so far as to fully recline by the end of the album. Mos Def sat down front-and-center, Michael Rapaport talked excitedly to the security guards, Will.i.am watched from one end of the U the audience formed around the women, Rick Ross watched from the other end (even singing along to some songs after an apparent even sneakier sneak preview). As for album: yes, it's almost entirely sung by West, aside from one verse by Young Jeezy on "Amazing" and a duet with Lil Wayne; yes, it is sung almost entirely through Auto-Tune; yes, some people are not going to be sure what to make of it, but we applaud West's decision to step off a creative ledge wearing a jetpack that no one else is sure will actually work.
Considering the conditions 808s & Heartbreak was played under (we're referring to the vast concrete room, not the presence of forty naked women), we don't feel right giving a full appraisal, but we are definitely eager to hear it again. On this blog we've compared
West's recent productions to ARE Weapons, but maybe an even more apt reference is Adult. or Thom Yorke solo, with the dispassionate electro beats playing against the plainspoken ache of the vocals. Or maybe he's creating a genre of his own. Call it Kanyeclash. Once the album ended with "Coldest Winter"—the one song on the album about his mother, the rest of this breakup album is about "someone else"—West appeared with a microphone. After eventually silencing the chatty room, he introduced Beecroft, who revealed that the piece was conceptualized and executed in one week, which is one third of the time it took West to record the entire album. Then West delivered a monologue about how this album is about the freedom to do what you want to do and that he used Auto-Tune because it is the most fun thing ever. Then he said 808s & Heartbreak was about emotional nakedness. Then he said he'll have another album out next June. Then the DJ played "Good Life" and we went to get our car from the valet parking before the line got out of hand."

BUSTAHHH is BACKK!
Busta Rhymes is back with his new single "World Go Round". Busta hits the track with his sizzlin' swagger but the instrumental is not the usual hip-hop bass thumpin' beat. It has a dance vibe to it. I don't know but it seems all mainstream genres of music are going for a more pop/dance/euro sound, well for some time now. I don't know about music lovers who are stuck on one thing but I love the change.
First Album Post: P!nk - Funhouse(Digital / Web Rip)
P!nk just got back from a divorce earlier this year followed by talks that she was to release her fifth studio album. In August "So What" was leaked and offered us a taste of what was to come from this forthcoming album and earned her her first #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit. I must admit it took some time for this song to grow on me, I think it was her performance at the '08 VMA's. Fast forward a little and her second single "Sober" leaked and today her album leaked online. This album delivers as all of P!nk's previous have, meaningful lyrics and catchy pop hits. Give this album a try it's worth it. All of these songs I can put on repeat except for tracks 4 & 9. Don't get me wrong these are just as good as the others just a little too mellow for me. If you Like the album go out and buy it October 28th.
2. Sober
3. I Don't Believe You
4. One Foot Wrong
5. Please Don't Leave Me
6. Bad Influence
7. Funhouse
8. Crystal Ball
9. Mean
10. It's All Your Fault
11. Ave Mary A
