Vibe is Back

G Swag

Chris Brown and Drake grace the dual cover of the now "back in the business" VIBE Magazine. Did you miss them? Its kind of hard to believe that Giant Magazine has folded. In Swag's opinion Giant was way more hip and cooler.

I don't have this issue of Vibe Magazine in front of me but thanks to Rapradar for the cover. Wonder if VIBE is new and impoved or the same ole same with just new venture capitalist backing? Will it have the top 20 reasons we think VIBE should make a come back? Or may the top 20 things VIBE did wrong? Do we really want another urban magazine when we have blogs like All HipHop.com, THISIS50, SOHH, RapDreams Radio, SOHH and more??? There are some really good blogs and bloggers out there. And what about Worldstarhiphop the hood's CNN.You can't get more hood than that. So Why wait for an entire month to get old entertainment news when blogs get it first anywa or aleast borrow it lol. In my opinion Blogs are more fun and waste less paper lol.

Oh did i meantion Drake & Chris Brown on the cover?

Wayne's World

Lil Wayne graces the cover of Billboard Magazine for there new issue.

Given earlier leaks from the project, did you make many changes to the final version?

As of now Rebirth is coming out as a double disc with a [disc of songs] by Young Money. I had to add new cuts because a lot of things leaked, making people think they had an idea of what I was doing with Rebirth and what it would sound like. And I hated that because I never want anybody to think they know what I¹m doing until I present it. So what I did was make it totally different I flipped it.

Does the album still lean toward rock?

Yes, the album is still rock. I play guitar on 80% of the songs and there’s a lot of rock influences and rock beats. I also have Travis Barker on the album. But I don’t want people to think I’m trying to do something I can’t do. Don’t think you’re going to put on the album and hear me screaming and singing . . . Don’t worry about that [laughs]. When people hear me say rock, they may get a little scared like, Oh, God. What is he going to do? When I said I was doing a rock album, it was about doing a freedom thing. This album isn’t hip-hop. When I do my Carter albums, I know I’ve got to rap, I know I’ve got to spit. I know the words I’ve got to say and the subjects I’ve got to talk about. I also know the things I shouldn’t say, the things I shouldn’t talk about. There’s none of those limits on this album. I say what I want, how I want. That’s what this album is: a freedom album. And rock is the avenue that gives you that freedom. I’m just having fun, that’s all. Trust me: People will like these songs. It’s my job to make them love them, but I know for a fact they’ll like them.

Chris Brown...He's back

Kanye West "We Were Once a Fairy Tale"

G SWAG

Here is the entire short film We Were Once a Fairy Tale that Kanye West commissioned starring himself and directed by Spike Jonze (Where The Wild Things Are). The short film debuted at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Full synopsis (it can get a little strange) after the jump.

In the film, Kanye plays himself drunk at a club acting belligerent and boastful, telling starstruck club-goers that the song playing in the club is his. He wanders into a side room where he encounters a beautiful woman. They start having sex and then he passes out on her leopard print dress. When he comes to, he finds himself in the VIP room with his pants down – he was hallucinating and fucking the pillow. The realization startles him and he rushes to the bathroom where he vomits what look like rose petals.

Then it gets weird.

Kanye finds a bowie knife in the bathroom and cuts into his stomach, spilling a torrent of more petals. He digs in the knife deeper and then with his hand rips out a small furry rodent, like a demon, only its quite cute. When Kanye realizes it’s connected to him with an umbilical cord, he pulls it hard, ripping it out of him for good. He then puts the demon on the sink and hands him a tiny bowie knife to fit the critter’s scale who then uses it to commit hari kari.(Whooha.com)

There is no other pop artist in the corner of the global that can out shine Beyonce right now. She is truly the "hottest chick in the game" but more importantly the hardest working.
