Kanye & Paul McCartney Recruit Rihanna for Second Collaborative Track, "FourFiveSeconds" (Roc-Nation)

While it's unclear to exactly what capacity at this point, but it seems as though Dirty Projectors frontman and guitarist Dave Longstreth was somehow involved in the writing/recording of Rihanna, Kanye & Paul McCartney's new single, "FourFiveSeconds;" according to a currently unsubstantiated report from Kanye's friend and long-time barber, Ibn Jasper, "Kanye's whole new album is co-produced with Paul McCartney... He decided to put Rihanna on ["FourFiveSeconds"] and put it on BOTH of their albums because they are both Roc-Nation" (reports which Rolling Stone have since shot down). In addition to Longstreth, "FourFiveSeconds" additionally features as-yet-unknown contributions from Mike Dean, Dalllas Austin, Elon Rutburg, and Noah Goldstein, as well as Ty Dolla $ign and Kirby Lauryen, both of whom previously worked with West-McCartney on "Only One." It's without a doubt the track Ty Dolla $ign was alluding to upon "Only One"'s initial release, which features "[himself], Rihanna, 'Ye and Paul [McCartney]," whose companion music video has apparently already been shot and is "gonna drop soon."

It's a sparse, acoustic-driven percussion-less almost Country-leaning track, which is quite the drastic departure for both Kanye & Rihanna, while "FourFiveSeconds" is likely closest to McCartney's meditative "White Album"-era material recorded with The Beatles. "FourFiveSeconds" (along with "Only One") could very likely end up re-appearing on Rihanna's long in-the-works Unapologetic (2012) follow-up or Kanye's reported Born In The USA-esque Yeezus follow-up, which may or may not be entirely co-produced by Sir Paul McCartney. "FourFiveSeconds" is of course, the second of what has previously been billed as "several" tracks Kanye & Paul McCartney, each musical legends in their own right, recorded together as recently as early 2014. Kanye will make an appearance during Ellen's week-long birthday celebration this upcoming Thursday, January 29th "to talk about his new song, new album, and extraordinarily "Good Life.'"

[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

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll .

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