Funnyman/Kanye West’s personal jester and ‘Otis’ cameo Aziz Ansari has created a piece of art, you guys. Here’s his “remix” of ‘Niggas in Paris’ told in iPhone emoticon form, in its entirety. That shit indeed is crazy. Come see the whole thing. Read more »
Yesterday, Russell Simmons dragged Kanye West down to see the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators at Zuccotti Park and was pleasantly surprised by his behavior, giving the rapper props for being so “sweet” and “tolerant” of the crowd. Read more »
As reported by all of Twitter, one of hip hop’s most conspicuously consumptive rappers, Kanye West, visited some of Wall Street’s most humble protesters at Zuccotti Park and to the shock of Russell Simmons, was rather pleasant to the crowd. Uncle Rush tweeted: “I just walked @kanyewest thru the #occupywallstreet. I love how sweet and tolerant he was to the crowd.” Shouldn’t this be the other way around? (Photo: Russell Simmons/lockerz)
Prepare to embark on four minutes of idiocy. F.A.T. artists hung out with like minded Ruskies in St. Petersburg and made this epic (Animated Gif Mashup) video for the ‘Watch the Throne’ club song. It’s really, really stupid. Read more »
Here’s the Spike Jonze directed visuals for Jay-Z and Kanye West’s catchy “Otis” track from their Watch the Throne album. As required by rap video law, it features a fancy car, but not like you think. Hov Warrior!

Kanye West’s official ‘Monster’ video has yet to be released, but here’s a ‘Muppet’ version that’s really good despite the lack of decapitated or bloodied Miss Piggys laying about, although she does make an appearance as Nicki Minaj and pretty much nails it.
Someone leaked a still unfinished version of Kanye West’s “Monster” video online, although it looks pretty complete from here. As you can see, it’s rife with horror movie imagery and lots of dead women, as well as Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and two Nicki Minajs. Enjoy it while it lasts.
