So South Park did an episode featuring Kanye West as an Ego-Maniac and then he blogged about it; admitting that yes, he does have a big old ego. He’s even got a song about his ego on his latest mixtape, LVs and autotune. LVs of course a reference to his new louis vuitton shoe design. Here’s a track from the mixtape featuring Common and Q Tip. The whole mixtape can be downloaded here.

If anyone ever tells you that they’ve heard enough songs about oral sex then they obviously haven’t heard this one. It’s a recent collab between Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Common and Lady Gaga. While the entire song revolves the idea that “you” should “poke her in the face”, it’s catchy and lighthearted fun. It’s the summer and the perfect time for all sorts of filth and carnality, why not have some music to get you in the mood? Just don’t do any serious damage if you do poke someone in the face.

So I’m about a month late on the Girl Talk coverage. To be honest, this is because I was pretty disappointed with the show early last month. Perhaps by no fault of Gregg Gillis himself, the show was nevertheless a breeding ground for unsavory characters and sweaty alt bros to borrow a term from hipster runoff. It also marked the first concert where I found the females were causing more trouble then the males. Why? I have no idea. But every time I got elbowed more than necessary, pushed or had to deal with someone super high on drugs it was more often then not a girl. One in particular, you know who you are.

The show itself was fine though and I probably would have enjoyed it at a smaller venue. I’m therefore renouncing my future attendance to any sold out shows at Metropolis, barring extenuating circumstances. I think it was originally planned for Club Soda and got moved. Which by the way I didn’t find out until I showed up that night and saw a big crowd outside Metropolis and no one at Club Soda. Holy unorganized shit batman.

So this week I’m gonna post an old favorite Girl Talk remix of mine, because it would be really lame if I posted something from Feed the Animals, you should all have that album by now. Oh, and this dude named Kanye West released an album. I think it was called 808s and Heartbreaks. The sales figures for the first week were no graduation but I supposed that this album is more of an experiment so a mere 450,000 for the first week will do.

I’m not going to post a song from that album because Island records will likely harass me. Instead, here’s a filthy Common song featuring Kanye West that seems to be entirely about sexual innuendo.

Last Friday at Coda club, the peer pressure weekly featured some very real Hip Hop through the performances of Hollywood Holt and Kid Cudi. Ever since Kid Cudi dropped Day ‘N’ Nite which we featured in the very first edition of Monday Re up, we’ve been following his tracks with utmost attention.

Kid Cudi’s set was in a few words a hip hop extravaganza. In a few more words, I’ve admittedly not been to as many hip hop shows as I’d like to say I have, but that’s mostly due to Montreal’s general lack of Hip Hop shows. On that note, I don’t have anything to complain about in the coming weeks as Common and N.E.R.D. are actually here in a few days at Metropolis.

I’m trying to build up the courage to spend 42.50$ plus taxes to go see them, but haven’t quite made it yet. Let alone convince some other poor soul to come with me.

The interaction with the audience really set Kid Cudi apart from the other acts I’ve seen. I was especially pleased when he did a freestyle over flashing lights and spit a line dissing the girls in the front ie the drunk bitches dancing near the stage trying to get even a foot on the stage to be a little closer to pseudo fame. Agreed, Mr Cudi.

See below a meticulously compiled list of tracks designed to both mock the people who missed the show and appease those who did. Included is Maui Wowie, one of the most fun live songs in his set and his take on our own A Trak’s Mastered originally featuring Lupe Fiasco I believe.
