Music Corner: Zane Lowes Interviews Jay-Z

I blame me being away from home the entire summer for my lack of knowledge that this interview existed (July 15th was Carnival Monday in St. Lucia...I was very occupied) As a huge Jay-Z fan I wasted no time in getting stuck in, the MCHG is definitely not one of favourite albums, ignore my initial hysteria; despite there being a few good songs on the album, it's not one I consider worth listening to. I do however stand my claim that the production was solid, just like Yeezus...yea I said it!

Immediately Jay discusses the magic that birthed The Blueprint album (my personal fave) and the almost by default creation of the epic track No Church In The Wild which features on Watch The Throne. I won't give it all away, but see below for the full interview.

 

Kanye West Radio 1 Interview: Thank You Kanye! (NSFW)

A good friend of mine who knows just how much I happen to love Kanye West recommend that I watch this interview. I literally had it on my agenda for days before I got round to it, however when I finally did, I thoroughly enjoyed it: often Kanye is criticised for his 'rants', but I happen to quite enjoy when he decides to share his thoughts with us. All too often society tries to quiet the outspoken, against-the-grain voice and let's be honest, more often than not Kanye is the beholder of an unpopular opinion. I happen to think that his unabashed confidence is inspiring, he may be arrogant but surely his accomplishments have earned him the right to be? Even if you disagree, who are we to deny him the right to consider himself a God...?

New Video Alert: Rihanna - Pour It Up (NSFW)

I wouldn't ordinarily bombard you with a series of video posts, but after watching Rihanna's new music video yesterday I was left with no choice! It was allegedly banned after just ten minutes, joining S&M and We Found Love in the list of 'controversial' videos; it seems the world was not quite ready for such an in-you-face display of erotica in a music video.

I happen to be huge fan of Rihanna and find her persona to be not only refreshing, but also liberating- she's a young woman who appears to write her own rulebook and is not afraid of her own sexuality. I actually find the video to be quite artistic and creative despite the fact that is perhaps more appropriate for an adult audience. Not to mention as a fellow Caribbean woman I can't help but admire here wire bra and those dance moves...high five Ri Ri!

 

New Video Alert: A$AP Rocky - Fashion Killa

I love this new visual by A$AP Rocky; the song may read like an (extensive) list of hot designers, but at least he looks cute with Rihanna!
