While some rappers subtly use Illuminati references, Kanye West is taking a bolder approach. Yesterday, the rap diva updated his blog with a clip from Eyes Wide Shut, photos of nude ladies, and the cryptic Skull and Bones logo. Since he didn’t graduate from Yale, he’s probably better suited to push these cats, their secret sex rituals are probably more his (and Amber Rose’s) speed.
Rapper and hip hop diva, Kanye West, has a stark new website with nary a Murakami character in sight. So what can you expect to find on kanyewest.com? Not much at this point: a video and a bottomless photo of Amber Rose. But if it’s anything like HIS OTHER BLOG this should be entertaining.
Hip Hop’s most fashion-loving rapper got a new Goyard backpack and he’s the only one in the world who has it, which is a very good thing for Kanye West and society at large, I’d hate to say this “Robot Face” trend catch on. |HighSnobiety|

The nominees for next year’s Grammy awards, to be held on Jan. 31st, were announced last night, with Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift combining for 23 total nominations.

Remember that batshit crazy short film directed by Spike Jonze and starring Kanye West that we posted yesterday? Well it’s been mysteriously vanished without a trace from all corners of the web, including Kanye’s blog. |Daily Mail|

Well lookie here…the short film that’s been much-anticipated by artsy, film-geeky, hip-hopy type people, “We Were Once a Fairytale,” has hit the internet. Directed by Spike Jonze and starring Kanye West, the film, which was supposed to be released on iTunes last month, depicts an arrogant prick whose night out on the town ends in a rather bizarre way (Sounds very Kanye-esque, does’t it?).
