We all know Kanye loves the controversy and being in the center of the spotlight. About a week ago or so, Kanye tweeted that Wally World was going to ban his album because of the controversial cover of him and a naked Phoenix. So Wally World gets on the defensive end and releases a statement, claiming that they never saw the artwork of Ye's album, and they have every intention on stocking their shelves with his new release. Now of course it will be the edited version, which is why I never go to Wally World (A.K.A. Wal-Mart) to buy CD's.
Oh yeah, here's the tracklist that was released on itunes:
1) Dark Fantasy
2) Gorgeous (feat. Kid Kudi & Raekwon)
3) Power
4) All of the Lights
5) Monster (feat. Jay Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver)
6) So Appalled (feat. Jay Z, Pusha T, Cy Hi Da Prynce, Swizz Beatz and RZA)
7) Devil in a New Dress
8) Runaway (feat. Pusha T)
9) Hell of a Life
10) Blame Game (feat. John Legend, Pusha T)
11) Lost in the World
12) See Me Now (bonus)
Here is his 35-minute World Premiere of "Runaway"

Bushwick Bill will Remain in the U.S.
Former member of the Geto Boys, Bushwick Bill, will remain in the U.S. after a short stint of facing deportation. Bushwick was in police custody after being charged with drug possession. However, the judge ruled in his favor, so he is staying put. Bushwick is originally from Jamaica. This is what caused him to miss the VH1 Hip Hop Honors and performing beside other former member Willie D. When asked if the Geto Boys would ever reunite, Bushwick said the chances are likely not, because he thinks that the other group members are receptive to his new style of rap, which is gospel. Alright Bushwick! A bit of advice, communication is the key! Talk to them!
University of Mary Washington President apologizes for Wale's Performance
After receiving complaints from nearby residents of how loud the volume of the music was and profanity, president Rick Hurley released a statement apologizing about Wale's concert. This kind of crap happens too many times at colleges. They let the student body pick out their favorite rap artist they would like to have perform at their school, then when they realize who it is or what they represent, they say their sorry. Maybe if the faculty or the presidents of these colleges paid a little bit more attention and a short background research of these artists, they would be apologizing every time. Maybe that's why schools in Kentucky (where I'm from) don't have as many rap artists come because of the racist hicks we have running our colleges. I'm just sayin'!
50 and the Game Possibly trying to Communicate
Now I'm not gonna make this a big deal or get excited over nothing. And some of you all may not want this to happen...but in the tweeting world, it may have. Apparently, Game has tried to reach out to 50 via twitter by saying, "What up nigga." Now I don't know if that's the right approach or if 50 will ever respond. But I think this can be the season of reunions and squashing a lot of beefs. Hell, I would even like to see Nicki Minaj and Kim call it a truce. Who knows! But like I said before, to have 50, Game, Banks, Buck and Yayo all back together (even if it's just for once)..it would be a good look, and definitely keep the money flowin' in everybody's pockets. C'mon 50! Think about it!

Nelly's Smellin' Himself
I guess he got a lil' offended that he wasn't on BET's Hottest MC's list. And as much as these lists are screwed up, I STILL don't think Nelly deserves to be on there! YES! He's made millions with his music and crossed-over to the mainstream successfully. But does anyone really know what the true definition of an emcee is? I think everyone has their own opinion, so I'll just leave it at that. Click the link below:

F.L.Y. Poetry
Part 2 of "How to Be a Fake Rapper"
1) Say that you are part of a gang (particularly Bloods or Crips)
2) Start a beef between another local rapper instead of working with them to put all the attention on you
3) Smoke weed and freestyle on a daily basis
4) Lie about your parents career...say that your mom or dad doesn't have a good job when they really do
5) Go out of state and talk about how much work you bring into your own city....in other words...make Kentucky appear in the eyes of others like it's New York, Florida or L.A.
6) Play with guns you don't own and shoot yourself in the chest like Lil Wayne did when he was young
7) Have some kids and become a "baby's dad"....don't pay child support and act like the income your getting from your wack ass shows is what's taking care of you and your family
8) Talk about how much people are just "hating" on you....when in reality...they really just aren't feelin' you
9) Post several youtube videos of you performing and keep the camera on you....not the crowds reaction
10) Have absolutely no kind of promotion or marketing plan
