Watch ‘Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings’, A Kanye West Documentary Made By A Fan

Where The Lonely Kids Go When The Bell Rings from James Workman on Vimeo.
It’s really easy to hate on Kanye West these days, hell he’s even gotten the South Park treatment. The College Dropout has served as one of the most influential projects to come across my ears and for a couple years all I could say is, “Yeah but….when is OLD ‘Ye gonna come back to us?” While the answer to that question remains unknown, this fan made 45 minute Kanye West documentary made by 5000 hours of labor from James Workman, gives us a pretty good look into the progression of the artist from interviews, backstage footage and stage performances.

In a similar fashion to the Kendrick Lamar demo tape that surfaced, we now get a chance to listen to Kanye West’s demo tape dating back to 2001. After previously sharing both demo version of “All Falls Down” and “Bring Me Down”, fans of West can now hear the original versions of songs which ultimately found themselves landing on his debut album College Dropout, sophomore LP Late Registration, and various mixtapes. Compiled by the good folks that contribute to the KanyeToThe forums, you can grab the 15-track demo tape, currently being titled as The Prerequisite, by clicking below.

Everyone has something to get off their chests this week. Hov kicked things off by lashing out at his critics on “Open Letter”, and Pusha T decided to keep it moving with “Numbers On The Boards”, which Kanye West was excited enough to tweet about.
Our family Hov brought that real hip hop shit this morning so me and Pusha wanna keep that feeling going

It’s clear that Pusha meant business – from the minute he began to kick his vicious rhymes with “I’m so bossy, bitch get off me”, and switches up the beat for a few seconds with a snippet of Jay-Z’s “Rhyme No More”. Download “Numbers On The Boards” below.

J. Period returns today with some unreleased gems for our listening enjoyment. This time around he brings an unreleased cut from a little MC by the name of Kanye West and Consequence called “Hold On (remix)”.
The track is a smooth, soulful, piano driven beat in which Mr. West attacks lyrically in his former styles and showcases his witty wordplay. Consequence then comes in and does what he does as he runs through a number of humorous, slick bars for our listening. This shit is too nice, check out the track below.

Kanye West – Clique ft Jay Z & Big Sean (Singularity Remix)
1143 days
Let’s be real, nothing is gonna ever top the original Hit-Boy production on this track; with that said Singularity gives the track a damn good run for its money. Triplet heavy and full of all sorts of cool 808s and wobbly/crunchy bass for days, this is everything you could possibly ask for from a remix of an already-huge song. Check out the interview TNJ did with this budding talent and grab the download for free courtesy of Singularity! The usual assortment of links to follow.

2 Chainz – Birthday Song ft. Kanye West (Sazon Booya Remix) + Oye Mami EP [Trailer]

This post right here is confirmation that it is in fact the most wonderful time of the year. Sazon Booya is just blowing the roof off the moombahton scene with no sign of stopping any time soon and TNJ couldn’t be hapier. They released this downright disgusting remix of Birthday Song which is slowed down to that sexy 110 BPM and pumped full of their signature gritty synths and the type of energy to make a crowd go buckwild. If that wasn’t enough, we also got the visual trailer for the Oye Mami EP, which has 3 unreleased tracks including the title track which came close to melting my brain when they opened for Knife Party in NYC in May.
The EP drops on January 24th for FREE and if THAT wasn’t enough, it just became public knowledge that Sazon Booya has been added to the lineup at Pier 94 this Sunday alongside names like Diplo, Afrojack and Rusko. WHAT!? Be sure to grab the free download and keep an eye out for the Oye Mami EP as well as some of the TNJ crew at Pier 94 when we start the New Years celebrations a bit early with some huge acts!

Story Behind Kanye’s Givenchy Kilt

Many questioned Kanye West’s apparent “kilt” he performed in at the Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert on 12.12.12. In this video footage, we get a look behind-the-scenes of his wardrobe decisions for the night, as his stylist explains the Riccardo Tisci-designed leather kilt. What do you think? High fashion or just a skirt?

For the 6th installment of his #SundayService, the Game recruits Kanye West, Trae The Truth, Z-Ro, Paul Wall and Slim Thug for the track “Rollin”. This might be my favorite in the series so far, although I have no idea where ‘Ye actually is on this.

On this cold Sunday in November, I felt the urge to dig through the iTunes library and pull out his Freshman Adjustment Volume 3 tape that dropped way back in 2007. On it are some “classic” Kanye beats and lyrics including the two I’m providing below. Consume and enjoy.
