Kanye West had premiered music videos for his hit song “All Day/ I Feel Like That” way back in March during the Paris fashion week. Now it is being reported by the New York Times that Ye will debut the music video in the United states this coming Saturday. The New York Times described the video like this “Filmed in a single nine-minute take at the Chatham Dockyard in southeast England, the video follows Mr. West through an empty warehouse as he runs, crouches, dodges, raps, rants, sweats and pants, as if being pursued by the camera or the police or in pursuit himself, until he slumps against the wall to catch his breath. At several points Mr. McQueen’s focus is so tight that Mr. West’s face cuts in and out of the frame. At one point, the camera keeps its distance as Mr. West raises hands above head in a gesture of surrender.” The video will only be available to view at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on July 25 and will loop for four days.

A couple months ago T.I. said the name of his upcoming album would be Trap’s Open and said it would be gangsta. Now in a new interview T.I. has revealed that the title has been changed to The Dime Trap while keeping the same general concept. “It’s going to be an extension or a continuation of the vibe from Trap Muzik, I feel like, when you’ve done hits like “Whatever You Like” and “Dead and Gone,” when you do those mainstream kind of “Blurred Lines”-ish kind of records, you don’t go and try to top “Blurred Lines.” You just come to a whole new element, bring it back down and build the process back over again. I’m breaking it all down, back to the element of where my music first began to interest people, and build it all over again.

Lawyer to Suge Knight, Thomas Mesereau, is trying very hard to get Suge a reduced bail.

Another thing the lawyers is arguing is that the toilet in his clients cell is driving him mad because it flushes automatically every 20 minutes and his bed is too small. But the judges has already said that he would likely deny Knight to see any doctor so it is likely he wouldn’t allow any other changes either.
