Keeping Up with The Kardashians: Kanye - "God Level" (Adidas World Cup)

Kanye West, a man who very recently rapped something along the lines of "black Timbs all on your couch again / black d*ck all in your spouse again..." married his long-time girlfriend Kim Kardashian this past weekend. The Florence wedding ceremony held at the 16th century Fort di Belvedere was preceded by an extravagant pre-party held in Paris Friday night, which was seemingly attended by everyone from Rick Rubin to Jaden "White Batman" Smith; in lieu of James Fanco & Seth Rogen's tastefully declined "Bound 3" performance invitation, early reports suggest that Lana del Rey, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, and illusionist David Blaine performed at various point throughout the wedding reception and ceremony. It just seems to be a sheer coincidence that Kayne's new "YEEZi" sneaker partner, Adidas released a World Cup web-commercial complete with previously unreleased music on the same weekend as Kim & Kanye's star-studded wedding. "God Level" could very well be a Yeezus-era left-over, seeing the track was supposedly produced by recent collaborators Hudson Mohawke, 88-Keys, Mike Dean, and Noah Goldstein. Adidas seems to have really embraced Kanye for his aggressive post-wedding bliss self, already showcasing his music in a big-budget World Cup advertisement, more so than Nike ever publicly embraced him.

okayplayer further reports that the full-length "God Level" track, which has since been mysteriously taken down, "hammers all the way through. [Hudson] Mohawke's brand of weird mixes perfectly with the current Kanye brand of jagged acid-rap." Even during the brief 50-second Adidas snippet, Kanye manages to boast "You see sharks in the water / You don't see murder like this often / Provide a new coffin / You don't see murder like this often..." "The tense backing track grounding every second of "God Level" is all you hear for most of its 3ish minutes. Ye lays out for at least half its running time, but we promise you: the lines you don't hear in the Adidas spot are raw. Real raw," okayplayer continues. Kanye has been actively working on his long-rumored 2014 album, which he's boldly self-described as his own Born In The U.S.A, that Billboard reports will consist of "12 songs," six of which an unknown source has heard are "mostly a mixture of Soul samples and tamed Yeezus-esque darkness... nothing abrasive." While it's largely unclear as to whether or not this is even the same album that was previously reported to be a 3-hour long spoken-word rant (which okayplayer now reports was in fact an elaborate hoax), at this point, I really wouldn't put it past Kanye to release a brooding opinion-littered half music/half spoken-word double album.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
