to move up and down
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are going to name their son North. As in North West. Har har, Kimye. Read about the long tradition of oddly named celebrity babies the pair will be joining once they welcome their son later this year: natpo.st/13qOO47
Kanye West went on a three-hour Twitter rant, and we transcribed the whole thing
“I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie and someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour! This just happened a few hours ago. I was very insulted of course becuase for anyone that’s seen the Watch the Throne Tour… Or Coachella or Glow in the Dark or Runaway.. you know I have real ideas… I appreciate having the most nominations at the Grammies but I feel so conflicted by the fact that award shows sometimes are completely… …illogical Good logic tells me smile Kanye… the world likes you again… red or blue pill? … aaaaand Swallow”
Shad reviews Kanye and Jay-Z’s Watch the Throne stop in Vancouver
Canadian rapper Shad, born Shad Kabango in 1983, is a hip-hop artist based in Vancouver who has been twice nominated for the Polaris Prize: in 2008 for his sophomore recording, The Old Prince, and in 2011 for TSOL.

Concert Review: Jay-Z and Kanye West exceed the hype
It’s rare that a show of this magnitude lives up to its hype, but Kanye and Jay-Z actually managed to exceed it.

Watch the Throne, the record released digitally on Monday by Kanye West and Jay-Z, is not only one of the year’s most anticipated releases, but may also be the precursor of a potentially disturbing new trend: the return of the supergroup. With Mick Jagger in the studio with Joss Stone and Damian Marley, and Dave Grohl and Jack White making music with everyone, we wondered: Are we about to see a new wave of supergroups take over the Billboard charts? And if so, is that a good thing? (Illustration by Kagan McLeod)
