The smartest thing Kanye West ever said in public

The Smartest thing Kayne West ever said in public
Note: yeah, I mispelled Kanye's name-sorry, corrected

Recently, Kanye West was interviewed by MTV, which caught my eye yesterday 'he admires the Beatles' well right on, that is news to me. I swear, I thought he once said, he would be bigger than the Beatles ? perhaps it was my imagination, yeah. In an excerpt below Kayne is quoted, from MTV. as saying:

"That's why whenever bands come out and say, 'This album is better than the Beatles,' it is impossible to make an album better than the Beatles unless you've got 30 years," he explained. "Beatles records — people have known them their whole lives ...

This has got to be the smartest thing, Kayne West have ever said in public, my personal opinion. Right Kanye, nobody can make a better album than the Beatles or be as big, Not even you Kanye, I'm glad we agree!.

I don't know why I Have always thought West to be arrogant, perhaps it was at last years Grammys when I read he felt slighted-than...not giving Herbie Hancock his true props. I'd have to search back on my blog posts for that info. Or perhaps, he believes, he will be the best artist of this decade? That's confidence for ya!-How can you measure that with all the diff music genre's? He believes he is a better rapper, than '50' cent said it himself...Um No! Kanye does have some cool cuts tho I'll give him that.
The interview is rather insightful. A good read-Kanye breaks it down.

want to read more continued here

Beatles join Rock Band video game

Sheesh, I forgot to post about this the other day, if you haven't heard by now, the Beatles have joined the video game stratosphere, with Rock band. In collaboration with MTV & Apple rec.'s The entire Beatles catalogue set to game form, coolio! do out next year.
more later.

The Apple Corps four have seen an early version of the game and seem pleased. McCartney called the project "a fun idea which broadens the appeal of the Beatles and their music," adding, "I like people having the opportunity to get to know the music from the inside out."

Wired.com has an in depth article related to this new Beatles video game. You can also go to

wired.com and vote for songs that you would like to have included to Beatles Rock Band, or post your own Beatle song. The entire Beatles catalog is huge, so I don't believe they would include every Beatles song ever written?

Why do People wanna ruin Pauls Gig in Quebec? forget the Politics!

Why do People wanna ruin Paul's Gig in Quebec forget the Politics!
please see video below too lol

Ok I can see people being political and not wanting Paul McCartney to play the middle east. such as Israel.. but c'mon people why do you need to try and ruin it for the people of Canada that want to see Paul in Quebec this Sunday? What a bunch of crap!!! Why cuz he is singing in English and not French? That is some weak crap!!!

In an exceprt from the national post
: Separatists decry McCartney's Quebec concert Another English invasion?
Graeme Hamilton,
National Post Published:
Wednesday, July 16,
2008 MONTREAL --

He will be wielding a bass guitar, not a musket, but Paul McCartney's free concert this Sunday on Quebec City's Plains of Abraham has some sovereigntist politicians and artists complaining of another British invasion!

. In an open letter endorsed by two Parti Québécois Members of the National Assembly, Quebec City painter and sculptor Luc Archambault informs:

"McCartney that he should learn some French songs before coming to perform as part of Quebec City's 400th anniversary celebrations "( ahh Bullshit!)

The presence of your English-language music on the most majestic part of Battlefields Park, as beautiful as it might be, can't help but bring back painful memories of our Conquest," Mr. Archambault writes.

Calling McCartney an "international Anglo-Saxon idol," he asks him to use his performance to make a plea for the sovereignty of the Quebec people. That, Mr. Archambault says, would display the same sensitivity to "the people of French Quebec" as the ex-Beatle has already shown to "the fate of the seals."
(In 2006, McCartney and his then wife, Heather Mills, dropped on to ice floes off Quebec's Magdalene Islands to protest the seal hunt.)

It's a celebration people! rejoice be happy and shake your asses off!! This is Paul McCartney The Greatest Living Legend!! If you donot wanna see Paul Live don't go to the concert period! Lighten up Buttercup!

When Paul Rawked out Paris this past year I'm sure the people of Paris France weren't pissed off that Paul didn't sing in French? He is freakin British! dumb dumb dumb dumb! lol

For those attending this event I hope you have a effin Rawkin great time!!!

Remebering when MTV was great part 1
Ok you music lovers out there remember when MTV first launched on Television, remember when MTV was great pure video's and music ?

MTV launched on August 1st 1981 with it's great Veejay's (video jockeys) Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson and Martha Quinn the revolution of music & televison 24/7.
The brillant lil MTV commercials remember those the commercials for MTV what little gems in themselves.
I miss the early years & the fantastic video's. MTV was brillant!
Here are some early vids from MTV that I recall off the top of my head. The first video on MTV was "Video killed the radio star" by The Buggles. The lyrics are brillant. I watched it and was in awe. MTV is ok now but they seemed to have lost the magic of the early years in my opinion. Have a MTV video request just ask I'll attempt to find it.
