Kanye vs. the Paparazzi Round 2!



Notice the intense stare by 'Ye. Notice the attempt to grab the camera. Notice the second attempt to grab the camera. Notice how he failed both times. Notice how he got mad and as a result had to regroup and think of a way to respond to the guy. Notice how you have to be a loser to be apart of the paparazzi.



"I'm gonna ask you as a man to leave me alone!"

Good Song. Nice lyrics to the song. Produced by Luny Tunes


Rap City Will Be Canceled Come Oct. 26th



What the hell is going on?
MTV recently announced that they are canceling 'Total Request Live,’ officially ending any chance of seeing your favorite artist debuting a music video or perhaps discovering a new artist for the first time on the show. Now BET is following the trend of ending music on television. According to Sohh, BET will cancel their 'Rap City' show on October 26th.

If you are a pop or rock music fan, you have to be upset that TRL is over and now if you are a fan of hip hop, losing one of the longest running rap shows has to hurt. No matter what, the world of music and television is changing, thanks a lot reality shows.
