Kanye West Does Right By Coachella, Shows Up On Time and Rocks the Desert
Posted Apr 18th 2011 at 11:25 AM by John Mitchell
When Kanye West was announced as the Sunday night headliner at this year's Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., we were dubious, to say the least. In 2008, we were present for his Bonnaroo debacle -- well, kind of. At about 4AM, with the hot Tennessee dawn a little over an hour away, when the crowd started chanting "Kanye sucks" and without any clear indication of when (or ...

Posted Mar 31st 2011 at 01:00 PM by Zach Dionne
Katy Perry and Kanye West are an unlikely duo, and the video of their collaboration is a fittingly bizarre sci-fi oddity. Starting out with a 'Wall-E' meets 'Return to Oz' vibe, the video for 'E.T.' tractor-beams in every angle of sci-fi weirdness imaginable. We're talking 'Avatar,' 'Stargate,' 'A.I.' -- no theme is off-limits. And although Kanye's bars are definitely silly, possibly weak -- ...

Is Kanye West Finally Growing Up Or What?
Posted Mar 14th 2011 at 08:45 PM by Zach Dionne
When Kanye West got turned away from Paris fashion shows last week, we waited for the inevitable explosion, for Yeezy's newest dozen-tweet rant. It never came. Our curiosity climbed. Then Kanye tweeted about Paris Fashion Week, and it was no kind of tirade; it was a happy photo of himself and a bevy of fans [above], simply tagged "photo from paris last week." What's going on here? Is Kanye ...
