The FADER: Ten Years of Kanye West

With his album ‘Yeezus’ officially hitting stores today, The FADER compile a montage of every feature Kanye West has made for the magazine over the last ten years….

Pusha T Feat. Big Sean & 2 Chainz “Who I Am”

Pusha’s been on point lately with his beat selection and his latest track ‘Who I Am’ continues that trend as he rounds up his fellow G.O.O.D Music spitters Big Sean & 2 Chainz for the Kanye West & Million $ Mano produced joint. I’m feeling the track but it would definitely of been hotter if it was just Pusha on the solo tip as Big Sean & 2 Chainz just seem lost on this type of beat.

Radio rip for now….

KANYE WEST ‘YEEZUS’ LISTENING SESSION

It’s safe to say Kanye’s marketing strategy for his forthcoming album ‘Yeezus’ has been unconventional and last night he arranged a last minute listening session at the loading dock in NYC’s meatpacking district.

Those in attendance included Jay-Z, Beyoncé, DJ Khaled, Timbaland & more, You can peep out some of the footage below as well as the thoughts of the album from Hot 97′s Rosenberg who was also in attendance.

Kanye West Debuts New Tracks @ Governors Ball

Kanye brought the Governors Ball to an end last night and premiered some new tracks from his forthcoming album ‘Yeezus’. Along with the new tracks ‘I Am A God’, ‘Onsite’ and one untitled joint he also performed ‘New Slaves’, ‘Black Skinhead’ and his vast back catalogue of hits.

Judging from the new joints so far I really think ‘Yeezus’ will divide fans just like his album ’808s & Heartbreak’ did which I actually thought was a good body of work, so it will be interesting to see what he delivers when June 18th rolls by. You can peep some of the footage from the Governors Ball after the jump!

Kanye West – Yeezus (cover)

Looks like Kanye is continuing with his rebellious ways after taking a stab at the establishment with his track ‘New Slaves’, making his new album unavailable to pre-order and now releases the artwork for ‘Yeezus’ which is just a CD in a clear jewel case with the tracklisting on a sticker. If you head over to Yeezys website you can check out a 13 second snippet of a new track titled ‘Bound’.

SNL Live: Kanye West – Black Skinhead

It’s been a busy few days for Kanye as he premiered his video “New Slaves” on public buildings across the world, announced his album would be called “Yeezus” and then took to SNL to perform his rock n roll infused track “Black Skinhead” which you can peep below…

Kanye West Debuts ‘New Slaves’ Video Across The World

Kanye West literally took it to the streets last night to promote his latest video ‘New Slaves’ by projecting it on various public buildings across the world. The list of locations can be found on Yeezy’s website.

The track itself I’m guessing is produced by Hudson Mohawke who premiered the track during one of his live dj sets a few weeks ago and sees Kanye go in with his rant like raps.

Yeezy takes aim at the big corporations and spits ‘You see it’s leaders and there’s followers / But I’d rather be a dick than a swallower‘, the track depicts that society has placed such a high regard to materialistic things that they have engulfed themselves as modern day slaves.

I’m feeling the production and the track and the way it was premiered was genius but the subject matter just goes around in circles as he admits he’s a modern day slave but continues to contribute to it by working for the same corporations he complains of.

I guess Kanye summed this up on his track ‘Clique’ when he spat ‘I rather buy 80 gold chains and go ign’ant / I know Spike Lee gone kill me but let me finish / Blame it on the pigment, we living no limits’. Either way the track will have people talking, you can check out the video after the jump which includes the screenings in Brooklyn, Chicago & Toronto.

London’s premiere according to West’s website will take place tonight at the Tate Modern amongst other locations.
