Kanye West New Album

School is OVERRRR n I got a good job booked so I couldn't think of an even greater way 2 start up the blog 4 the summer season than 2 talk about my fav artist n da whole wide world, Kanye West and his next album Good Ass Job. Below r some articles about the new album and my fav song by Mr.West, "Peace".

Despite previous indications that it would drop in June, new reports reveal that Kanye West's next projects might not hit stores until September.

According to TheHipHopUpdate.com, Ye's album, tentatively titled Good-Ass Job, may be pushed back to the fall release date. The report comes from an attendee at the Island Def Jam Grammy U. event on Wednesday (May 12). No further specifics were given regarding the release date, though it appears that the album certainly won't be dropping next month.

Other tidbits from the event revealed a September release date for Ne-Yo, and that Los Angeles rapper Y.G. "will be a focus of Def Jam in the near future."

Details remain scarce about Kanye West's Good Ass Job, but apparently it is his best hip-hop record yet. At least, that's what Drake implied in an interview with GQ Magazine. And it's likely that Yeezy is making his return to hip-hop and leaving the Auto-Tune behind after 808s & Heartbreaks. But don't be surprised if the vocal effect makes an appearance here or there as it's been featured on every one of his albums in some way or another. Good Ass Job, which finishes Kanye's "college series," is set to feature Big Sean, who confirmed his guest spot via Twitter. It's also likely we'll see frequent collaborators like Common and Mos Def along with newcomers such as Drake and KiD CuDi. The album will also include beats from outside producers, something West had done before. This time around, he will be joined by RZA, Pete Rock, and DJ Premier, the last of whom provided scratches on "Everything I Am" off Graduation.

Jaz's Lyric << Never Break Up R. Les

I really dig "Never Gonna Break Up" by Ryan Leslie. Though I've been bumpin it for the past year, I've never posted the lyrics on the blog. The lyrics hit home for me when ever 1 of my dudes r acting up lol j/k. But I figured what better way to revive "Jazmyn's Lyric"....

Oooh baby pretty girl

[Verse 1]
Wasted so much time for ya
Though I think I must have been blind for ya
Almost lost my mind for ya
Tell myself I would die for ya
I hit that wall thinkin’ How am I gonna get you back
All weekend.(yeah)
Guess That’s your decision, You should
Think about what your missin’
All day, all night.
When it’s the right time
Imma find my baby.
Yeaah (uh)
And to thinking like all day all night
If it’s the right time Imma find you baby
(Yeaah)

[Chorus]
So I get the finest clothes I can find on retail
And I try to pay attention to every single detail
I just wanna girl that still looks good with no make up
And when I find her I promise I will never break up
Never gonna break up [6 x]
(noo noo)

[Verse 2]
All this time I lost on you
Played it cool mention to floss on ya
Had a few girls I turned down
I wish I knew then what I woulda learn now
I Hope you yern For me
Hoping that your loneliness burns for me
Cause im ok now
Gimme time ima show you
How to get down

[Chorus]
Ima get the finest clothes I can find on retail
And I try to pay attention to every single detail
I just wanna girl that still looks good with no make up
And when I find her I Promise I will never break up
Never gonna break up [6 x]
(nooh nooh)


[Verse 3]
And if your wondering how im doing baby.
You could be sure that..
I learned a lesson from you now (o yeah)
And if your wondering what im doing babe
Trust me
I got it, im takin care of me
(Hey)


Never gonna break up
If its true love…never gonna break up
Never gonna break up
I gonna break up (nooh)
Never gonna break up
Never gonna break up
Ooh ( oh nooh )
I’ll tell you what to do
Imma get the finest clothes I can find on retail (Yeah)
And I try to pay attention to every single detail
I just wanna girl that still looks good with no make up
And when I find her I Promise I will never break up..

[Outro]
Never gonna break up

You Need To Know << F.Bentley

Dear Mr. Derek Watkins,
Your story inspires me to follow my heart and never give up. By making this post I hope it inspires others.
Warmest Regards,
Jazmyn Gilliard







You really need to know Fonzworth Bentley. Every time I need inspiration I read a refreshing article about him in Giant Mag (written by Emil Wilbekin). The article basically gives you a run down on his life.

Perhaps the most inspiring part of the article was when he explained his persistence. From networking throughout NYC he met Diddy. Eventually Diddy gave Bentley the number to his two way pager (THROW BACK lol), but Bentley didn't utilize the contact right away. When Diddy was going through the trial from the 1999 shooting Bentley would send him Bible verses and Puff would always respond Thank You.

On a day he was sent home early from his restaurant gig for being late, (Bentley) knew he couldn't go back. "I two way'd Puff: I know you're busy, but I need to talk to you.' And he said,'Who is this?' And I said.'This is Derek.' He said, 'Where are you?' I said, '73rd and 3rd.' 'Who is this?' (I) sent the following: "You remember the guy that traveled to New York City? The intern with Andre Harrell? I'm that guy- 2001. Please don't make me go back to work on Monday at the restaurant." Combs replied to meet him at 9:30pm that evening. - Emil Wilbekin

For a young snapper like myself that is one hell of a story! His story drives me to bang on the door until someone answers.

Some Interesting Facts:
-He has a degree in biology
-While in college Bill Cosby became his mentor
-Before being Diddy's assistant he worked at Ralph Lauren's Manhattan flagship
