The closer on The Blueprint 3 is an epic in the same vein as Beach Chair. Kanye West updates the immortal pop standard from Alphaville, with Mr. Hudson resinging the lyrics, leaving Jay-Z to contemplate his legacy.

Hype Williams and Kanye West have made a video which provides the perfect visuals for Amazing. All these breathtaking helicopter shots of Hawaii, where most of 808's & Heartbreak was recorded, is just how I envision this phenomenal track.

Everyone's favorite coke-rap duo are joined by Kanye West for the highly anticipated first single off their upcoming third album. DJ Khalil did this beat. I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. If you didn't listen to the Thornton brothers' mixtape from last year, do yourself a favor.

Welcome to Heartbreak is probably my favorite track from 808s & Heartbreak. Kanye West decided to release this video earlier than expected. It was uploaded just a few hours ago. Nabil Elderkin directed it.

Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, T.I. and a nine-month pregnant M.I.A. got together last night at the Grammys for a historic performance of Swagger Like Us. Other performances worthy of notice were Jay-Z's stripped-down recital with Chris Martin, Radiohead doing 15 Step backed by a marching band and Lil' Wayne and Robin Thicke performing as part of a tribute to New Orleans also featuring some of the greats of its jazz scene like Allen Toussaint, Terence Blanchard and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.

Victory is finally ours

"History" gjordes inte i anledning av Obama's presidentkampanj men Jay-Z spelade upp den på radio dagen efter valet. Lyssna på intervjun med Angie Martinez. Kanye West har använt Véronique Sanson's "Une nuit sur son épaule" till beatet och det låter som Tony Williams i hooken.

Tell me what it takes to be number one

Kanye West's bästa prestation det här året efter "Put On" heter "Go Hard". Hype har regisserat.

But in the end it’s still so lonely

Imorse läcktes det ut en animerad video till Kanye West's "Heartless" som bland annat utspelar sig i hans hus i Los Angeles. Det finns video från en presskonferens han höll i Singapore också som någon kanske vill kolla på.

Update: Kanye svarar på läckan genom att lägga upp en duglig kopia av nya videon. Han berättar att han fick idén att omarbeta den med rotoscoping när Hype Williams, som regisserat, visade honom Ralph Bakshi's American Pop. Kolla likheterna.

Memories made in the coldest winter

Kanye var uppe hos Big Boy för ett tag sen.
Han pratade lite 808's and Heartbreak och spelade upp sin cover på Tears for Fears' "Memories Fade".

Kanye började på den här för två veckor sen, uppträdde med den på VMA's i söndags och
bestämde att det är hans första singel från ett album han tänker kalla 808's & Heartbreak.
Albumet ska släppas den 16 december.

Update! Ny version (V2ADMix-Main_9-15-08) direkt från Kanye som inte låter som en sunkig demo.
