Video: Shad Interview w/ Sound Session

Monday, October 25th, 2010

The “Born To Run” tour with Shad and K-Os began in Seattle, WA on 10/7/10 and Shad took a few moments to chop it up with KUBE 93′s DJ Hyphen for Sunday Night Sound Session. In the dimly lit backstage area of the Nectar Lounge (apologies for the picture quality), the two discussed the tour, the American release of his ‘TSOL’ album, how it compares to his previous work, the intricacies of his lyrics, artistic expression/responsibilities, and more.

Kanye West’s Censored iTunes Cover

Monday, October 25th, 2010

On Friday night, Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy hit iTunes for pre-order (which is what led to the tracklisting being revealed) but it was using the “banned artwork.” This is now the cover that they’ll be using to sell the album on iTunes. However, the physical copy of the album will have the ballerina painting from the “Runaway” single (after the jump) and the Deluxe Edition will come with “See Me Now” and the Runaway movie.

Kanye also mentioned in the Q&A with MTV that the track list was not final, that “Mama’s Boy” might be a bonus track and that he was still deciding on “Chain Heavy.” Speaking of his heavy chain, check out some pics from Kanye’s surprise performance at the Brooklyn Bowl for the Fool’s Gold 3 year anniversary from Saturday night.
