Kanye West - All of the Lights (Video)

Kanye West + Jay-Z - H.A.M.

So it sounds like we won't be hearing an entire album from Kanye West and Jay-Z in a week's time. Their album Watch the Throne is reportedly officially dropping March 1st.  But we will be hearing the first single from said album by next Tuesday, January 11.

The new single is called "H.A.M.".  That stands for Hatin' Ass Motherfuckers. So this is gonna be another song picking on haters. What did haters ever do to you? Oh, right. Anyway, that cover art above is pretty awesome, and I do not expect this track to disappoint. Anticipation!

Kanye West + Jay-Z 'Watch the Throne'

Not satisfied with the tons of 'Album of the Year' accolades he collected with his latest record My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West made an 'off the cuff' remark during his New Year's Eve performance suggesting that his collaborative record with Jay-Z Watch the Throne would be available in a week's time!

Could be bullshit, but honestly, it's not out of the question that the record could be done and ready for release.

Kanye West - G.O.O.D. Fridays

Kanye West has been releasing a free new song every Friday.  Pretty fucking sweet, right?  This all to promote Kanye's latest album (which was called Good Ass Job at one point, but I understand he's canceled that title), even though I think many of these songs won't actually even be on that album.

Kanye calls these G.O.O.D. Fridays.  Does that acronym actually stand for something?

Anyway, dropping a brand new song every week for a while is a really cool idea that I hope other artists/bands follow in the future.

The 'cover art' for these songs always has a sexy yet classic image of females in the background, with the 'cast' of the song in giant red letters.

Kanye West - Power

Fuck yes.  This is a return to form for Mr. West.  "Power" describes this exactly.  I've heard this song samples King Crimson.  I don't know that band, but I do know that Tool are big fans, so they must be pretty cool.

This has been the first song I blast as I'm on my way to work every morning this week.  Gets me up, gets me going, makes me feel strong.  Lyrics about "jumping out the window" and "letting everything go" resonate with me this week.  I gazed out a window and seriously felt like jumping.  Shit's been bad this week, friends.  Anyway, this song is great.

P4K calls that artwork above 'baffling'.  I call it 'awesome'.

You can download "Power" for free somewhere, I'm sure...or you can download it on iTunes.
