Money well saved

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Initially, I was upset that the only seating available for the Houston leg of Glow in the Dark was “grass.” Grass? Can you imagine paying $75 to sit on grass? I even flirted with the idea of heading all the way to Dallas.

Kanye’s Homecoming Video

Monday, March 31st, 2008

I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘Ye’s one of the few emcees left that still get $100,000 video budgets. The man just doesn’t know how to make a wack video.

Consequence feat. Kanye - The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Friday, January 18th, 2008
