Topic “Kanye West”
Money well saved
Initially, I was upset that the only seating available at the Houston leg of Glow in the Dark was “grass.” Grass? Can you imagine paying $75 to sit on grass? I even flirted with the idea of heading all the way to Dallas.
Then I saw this:
Don’t believe the hype! When I started the show the other night we were having a lot of technical issues due 2 the heat. The 2 huge screens on both sides of the stage were glaring bright blue like when your DVD player acts up at home. I asked for them 2 turn the screens off 3 times because it was distracting 2 the show. The fans were not getting what they paid for. I admit, in my frustration, I did use profanity on the 4th time I asked. I stopped the show 2 go over and check it out myself. After the screens were turned off I started the same song from the beginning. The screens were eventually fixed 5 songs in but it was definitely better 2 have them blacked out rather than bright blue. Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 ‘Michael Jackson’ me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place… they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego! That joke is getting old. At a certain point you have 2 respect that I’m one of the last artist that still cares about the fans having the best time of there lives! Thanks 2 Bossip and Perez for taking it easy on me on the EW spaz… I did go in a little 2 much on that one. I’m sure there are some cool people who work over there and had nothing 2 do with that review. With all that said…. “I’m still the greatest!!!” lol!! Oh and I was in the studio with T.I. last night…. so get ready!!! read more »

Paul Weller - "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" (audio)
Something slightly different today. For those who don't know him, Paul Weller is a British rock n roll icon whose career has spanned over three decades. His love of Black music, particularly classic R&B and soul is well known. Here's his cover of the Bobby "Blue" Bland track best known for being sampled by Kanye for the track "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)" from Jay-Z's classic album, The Blueprint and in the TV campaign for the American Gangster movie last year. read more »
