VIDEO: KANYE SHOUTS OUT CL ON 106 + MORE CLIPS FROM THE SHOW

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

( SPECIAL THANX TO ONSMASH & NAHRIGHT FOR THE CLIP )

WOW! So I’m sitting on the couch watching the 106 & Park ‘Clash of The Titans’ special on BET yesterday and I hear “Shout out to Concrete Loop” come from Kanye’s mouth. Sometimes, people forget that we are just regular old people updating this site for the fun of it. So anytime we do an interview or get a shout out - it’s a big deal to us. Ya girl was literally in shock when I heard it. I’m sure I speak for Brian and Tianna in this sentiment as well. Y’all already know we love all our loyal readers and commenters. The site wouldn’t be the same without y’all.

Much love to Kanye for giving us a shout out yet again and contact us for an interview already man!

More clips of the BET Special after the cut. It was actually pretty good show and that’s saying a lot for 106. 50 Cent showed mad personality yesterday. Gotta love it.

CL already said he said something about the loop on a mixtape, so I already knew he knew about this blog. This is why when I have something to say about him or any other celeb, I write what I feel LOL. So Kanye needs to listen to all these comments about his latge ass ego!

I’m so happy for the CL Crew! It must feel good?! This was the first time I watch 106 in a couple of months and let me tell you…. I thought it was a great show! So much has changed on 106 but anyways, 50 was funny and I just luvs myself some Kanye so….. *good times*!

18.

LilU87

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

50 said something important. This isn’t a beef at all. I don’t know why people are making it out to be that way. People show clips of 50 clowning around saying that Kanye sucks. Show clips of them at the Rolling Stone magazine shoot giving each other a pound and clowning around with each other. This is just competition between two of the biggest names in music. Hip hop needs this.

@ 3 I read that Ye is outselling 50 and Kenny Chesney 2 to 1. I saw 106 this morning I was like yeah at the CL shout. I luv Jay

Go ahead CL…yall big time now! Don’t start charging memberships fees when yall have too much traffic to handle because of the shout-outs!! LOL…nawh just kiddin…DO YA THANG!

21.

Thoro!

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

YEAH CONCRETE yall deserve the shout out! Keep doing the dam thing! Both the albums I think are hot soo far! I think it is great that these two shared in on the marketing scheemes. Kanye et’s props for admiting that it is all a marketing ploy on the VMA’s. Both 50 and Ye get props and it looks good for HIP HOP.
Boy 50 looked funny on that fake throw. Like he got a ruber arm or something!! LOL
much props again to th CCCCCCCCCCCCCLLLLLLLL!

I know 50 said he was going to retire, but he said he was just playing. I keep reading 50’s going to retire if he loses but he won’t. He obligated to one more album then he might quit.

CL should change their slogan to:

ALOT OF PEOPLE DO IT, DON’T NOBODY DO IT WELL AS US

@ 13. We ain’t on anybodies nuts. Love is love and respect is respect. He has shouted us out 3x on his own and I’m a big fan of his so this was hella big for CL. We post on what’s hot, what we like, and what we think should be out there. We ain’t on anyone’s nuts. Y’all know what it is.

Much love to everyone who is down with CL!!

I’m a 50 fan/ Kayne fan…CL post ALOT of stuff on Kanye so of course he’s going to shout you out, When you post something & add the caption with your opinion its initially going to set the mood for the comments of the CL visitors.

I keep seeing the same artist & celebs being posted, so i’m guessing the CL crew are true fans of whom they post on, the variety is limited.

And for those to respond to my comment with some b.s….i have the right to state my opinion so go kill yo’self before you even say anything.

Congrats to CL.

I saw that this morning. I was wondering why y’all didn’t have it up yet. 50 was his own ignorant self the whole time but Kanye was graceful w/ it. I liked that.

Kanye seriously doesn’t need to promote (I think Page Six stated that he said it). He knows he’s in the win cuz he was just mad humble.

Lmao, I like after the fact that after 50 popped all that ish, and Rosci and TJ asked him what he would tell the fans to make them buy the album, he said something like, “I don’t care if u download illegally..etc.” He knows his numbers ain’t beating out ‘Ye *after this he needs to take a HUGE slice of that humble pie* lol

I don’t see why people hate 50 so much. Tell me another artist with his intelligence, and ability to create hits like he has. He keeps people talking.

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

Congrats Angel and Team!!

I’ve been coming to this site for a little over 2 years now, and the CL crew has had to deal with their share of haters. People hating because of what they feel CL should look like, what they post, why they post, who they post…. you feel me?

One thing that separates CL is that they post THEIR honest opinions, and don’t post JUST to tear someone down.. there is a difference. Watch how many foes will soon become friends.

I will admit, I didn’t buy the new Kanye or 50. He needs to deflate his ego just a bit for me. I miss the “Through the Wire” Kanye, but I love the positivity in his music.
I am so over hearing about capping somebody, some ABC-like flow, another damn 2 step dance, or stashing money in the trap. I can watch the news coverage on the war in Iraq for all that bull. Go Team!

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

I usually don’t watch 106 & Park entirely. I had to watch this one. I like Kayne performance. As for 50, the only thing I like was that he gave one young lady $500 PLUS she got a chance to win up to $50,000 in the money machine. They ask her what are you going to do with all the money you won. And 50 silly ass said “you better go cope my album”. But she said she was going to give it to my mom. Which was so sweet. But this was the first time I really saw how hyped 106 & PARK was. It was nice to see there was actually no bad blood and Kanye seem to have a lot on his mind. But he did very good.

Congrats to CL. I mean when I heard Kanye shout out the Loop again, I was so excited. Keep up the good work CL, and Kanye need to do that interview. That 106 episode was hot, I don’t watch 106 & Park but I couldn’t miss yesterday’s episode. I love 50 and it was crazy when Jay came out.

I’m a be real and say I was never a Kanye West fan. Never bought an album, didn’t like him too much through the things I had seen and heard about him in the media. He came to Toronto Canada last year and I saw him in concert. It was well worth the money because he put on a good show, but I could never truly appreciate him as an artist. Until yesterday when I bought my very first Kanye West album. Graduation is REALLY good. I listened to that shit from front to back. And the man did his thing, he put in a lot of work and effort into this album. There are plenty songs on there that really say something. First thing I did was wake up this morning and put track # 2 on repeat. I’m a fan now, and the next time he comes back to the t-dot I’m a enjoy his show so much better cause I’m a have a better appreciation for him as an artist. If y’all didn’t cop Graduation yet, go ‘head and get that!

Peace!

#25 i agree with you, whatever CL post or comment on, the readers go with their opinions and it’s good you have your favorites but i also think you have to mix it up a little bit. you said this is for black entertainment but it looks like a Beyonce, Kanye, Rhianna fan site to me. i love CL but just try to be fair to other artists. Getting shout outs from Kanye is good but we want to read about other people as well. 50 is good but you guys just keep bashing the guy that’s not cool.

Kudos to CL. I am a contributor for a great blog myself…so when I hear CL get props from someone of Kanye’s stature, it makes me feel that much better about putting my stuff out there for the world to see. Artists are finally starting to take note of how powerful blogs are becoming and acknowledging the hard work that is put into it.

Well, I have MUCH love for Angel and the crew!! I have been coming to this site for quiteee a while..and even though I wasnt always commenting back then…believe you me, I was defintely coming through. I really like this site, admire the fact that Angel and the crew are so young and handling their biznazz and appreciate them for keeping me in the “Loop”… Im always telling folks to check them out and sending the link.

And in all honesty…Angel and the crew are extremely humble, so its not that they only appreciate when an artist gives a shot out, they also appreciate the times when we come to the site each day and give them props as well. I’m a witness to that. And who wouldnt want someone to say, “Hey, I appreciate what your doing?”. CL is good people, and as Angel put it–Love is love and respect is respect….nuff said.

“Keep doing ya thang Concrete Loop!!”

Loveeee that Big Brother song!…and that was crazy when Jay came out on the stage!!…its good to see black folks supporting each other and showing love, now thats whats really hot in the streets!!

LMAO @ 50 getting pissed at the crowd and calling them “little bloggers” ..too funny! Shows he reads the blogs too, lol.

Regi

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

I have to admit that I was in shock just like you when I heard the shout out by Kanye West. Indeed this is the second time (I also heard him say it on a song). I am happy to hear that the artist do take time to read the blogs. You guys are doing a terrific job with every post you publish. Reading concrete loop when I come home from work every evening is part of my routine. And it seems like it might be the routine of some of the artists yall write about.

Anyway… I was quite excited when I was watching the clash of the titans… Hiphop have not fellt this good in a while. 50 killed the stages with two smashing performances…. when kanye came out I felt like his first performance was ok…. not as hype as 50’s but it was understandable because his style of music is different… but when he dropped that BIG BROTHER joint it was over…. this is by far one of the most inspiring song I have ever heard. And Kanye ’s delivery is so believable….He spits with alot of passion and even hoarse, he made sure that everything he spit came out just like on the CD…. when Jigga came at the end I litterally jumped and screamed…..enuf said…. this is what hip hop should be about….I hope other artist learn from this memorable friendly competition…

aiight I rambled enough time to read the other posts….

peace

Which reminds me….a couple of weeks ago when the Scream Tour hit the Bay, one of the dj’s from KMEL was interviewing Ciara on the air. She was trying to put Cici on blast about her and 50 and some rumor about her lickin 50’s ear on stage. Ciara said, “now ya’ll know that if that really happened, it would have been all on Concrete Loop!”. NO DOUBT!!!!!

so kanye had to bring his big brother? why can’t he ever do things by himself he is always looking for help from Jay. he cheated he wasn’t supposed to do that. i’m a fan but he is getting on my nerves. PLAY FAIR KANYE IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN YOUR TALENT. stop tagging Jay just to have people scream you don’t need all that.

81.

I ♥ Houston

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

@80
HELLOOOOOOO!!! He brought out Jay because the song is about him!!! He doesn’t always have Jay with him. Case and point, the VMA’s!! Kanye’s just trying to show his appreciation for the things that Jay has done for him, and at the end of the day, Jay is still the boss man. He doesn’t do anything that he doesn’t want to do. If kanye has a plan to get money, then let him get his money. 50 did it, he released like half of his album and came up with that Ciara marketing ploy. Come on, this is a business. It’s about money!

yall kill me with that ciara publicity stunt bullshit. 50 does numbers in a day that it takes ciara to do in a week. what would he be using her for? give me a break, they are friends and support each other.

kanye basically and his lame music with hype from anti 50 haters, can only get people hype by bringing 40 year old jay z to come on stage because new yorkers threat him like he’s some kind of god.

whateveR. i don’t care how many records def jam buys or press releases claiming early lead. 50 got him.

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

I just think it was so cool of Kanye to shout you guys out not only on 106 yesterday, but also on one of his joints. I have been obsessed with your blog since day 1 which was July 2nd, 2006, and I still can’t seem to get enough. Brian, Angel, and Tianna u keep up the good work!!!!!!

I became a Kanye fan in ‘2002 and will be a Kanye fan unitl I stop breathing….like i stated yesterday, if he was selling air in a paper bag i would BUY it. I think Kanye is one of the most original and innvovative artists in the industry right now, and he speaks from his heart and spits lyrics with passion, integrity, and soul. he always speaks his mind, his videos are always bright, interesting, colourful and witty, and yes he DID deserve to win a a damn moon man, considering all the hard work he puts into making his records AND it took him 3 months to make “Stronger”.who the hell takes 3 months to make a video? He used the money out of his own pocket to do the Jesus Walks trilogy….He is a TRUE ARTIST who deeply loves his craft.I have seen him perform live twice when he came down to Toronto in 05, and I even converted my Eminem/Snoop Dogg loving brother into a Kanye fan after he witnessed what I had been saying for over two years, this dude is the SHIT!!!!

I’m not saying 50 Cent is not an artist, but he is more in the biz for the money and doesn’t give a rat’s ass about good lyrics, or songs that have substance, I mean how many more songs can you take that have to do with p***y, money, mirking dudes, guns, making money and mirking dudes? I think he kind of knows that when it comes to talent kanye will always be on another level.

Yesterday was probably IMO one of the best episodes of 106 & Crap, I mean Park…. I have ever watched because I have not watched the show in a few weeks, but it was surprisingly very entertaining. When Jay-Z came out, I almost had a stroke, because I love HOVA and the crowd went ballistic as well, that was just a classic moment in music period.

I don’t feel that is is a “beef” it is just a very well thought out, and structured publicity stunt (even though technically 50’s cd got pushed back by three months) that will just keep true hiphop heads from having to endure more really crappy bullshit music.i.e Soulja Boy, Mims, Unk,etc.

It is great to know that one of my favorite websites have been recognized by one of my favorite artists of all time, Kanye West. I think that the reason why your site is both like by the general public, fans, and celebrities alike is that you guys tell the truth, and you stray away from gossip that cannot be confirmed or unrealistic. This is validation that what you guys do is great, and I can’t wait to come home from my classes to see what is going on in the world of Concrete Loop.

@70 why it gotta be angel and the crew it’s ANGEL,BRIAN AND TIANNA (even tho she post too much shit up about beyonce) all 3 of them do this together no beef just a question

@25 I agree!

I think it’s great that black gossip blogs are getting love from celebrities. It is a niche market so y’all are killing it and showing the media that yes, black folks do read and surf the internet AND our stars are just as important, if not more so than Parisite, Keira Knightley and Nicole Kidman.

Of couse CL got a shout out. This website is the pure FIYAH. It surpasses all other BLOGS! Angel, Tianna and Brian do such a damn good job of keeping us informed. When I heard Kanye shout out to CL I was like… yeah that’s right. Keep up not the good work but the GREAT work. To Angel, Tianna and Brian you guys are WICKED!! Man I LOVE my BLACK PEOPLE! (tear rolls down eye, left eye to be exact).

@ comment 88

She probably said Angel & The crew because Angel is the mastermind behind this whole site. Read the about page. She was running it by herself for 6 months and recruited Brian & Tianna to help out. That was a smart move. Adding music and fashion.

Brian & Tianna work hard, but you get the point.

I just love this fucking site and I’m sick of the haters and trash talkers.

Angel, I read your bio a few months back when you were talking like this wasn’t REALLY what you wanted to do long-term, but girlfriend, I think you might have stumbled onto something. LOL You know how TMZ is getting their own show? Ummm…can you see CL with it’s own show catering to the black demographic? I can. :-)

I love Kanye, but they (white folks) better not turn him into the “good nigga.” Unfortunately, I’m afraid this is what’s happening with the whole Kanye/50 “beef.” White folks support 50 and all gangsta rap until the charade gets old. Now that it’s not longer marketable, and black folks are fed up, they replace one stereotype for another. Instead of proclaiming that Kanye represents a the rich, creative, and multifaceted side of hip hop and “blackness,” (white) critics are saying he’s “rising above” the cliches. Kanye, since you read CL, please stay grounded, remember your revolutionary roots, or don’t get too comfortable with white folks who are singing your praises…to them you’re still acceptable, expendable, and, like Barack, Oprah, Tiger, Colin, and many others, you’re just gonna be a “good nigga.”

Black folks are a rich people with varied experiences….they betta not turn my homie into another one of their fads because that will completely undermine his greatness and complexity.

of course he reads CL and your be suprised who else reads it. its the best!!

but that comment felt a little snarky to me. 50 was like “you sound like bloggers” and then kanye says “shout out to concreteloop” almost to say CL people are super opinionated.

maybe it was no snark, who knows.

@Angel and all others that dissed Kanye a day and a half ago.
It’s bugged out how a shout out can change ya’ll. When me and a select few were definding Ye on his views toward MTV, ya’ll had to give us a team ye.
But homie says hi and now ya’ll are all cool.
Thats some bs. and Angel you are faulty at times we all know that.
To all ya’ll Kanye haters turn lovers, THATS REAL FUNNY STYLE.

its funny hoe people don’t talk about how self centered and big headed jay-z is like thay do 2 k west. Jay said that big brother is the most important song of kanye career behind jesus walks. Wtf he had a song about his mom on his last album is big brother more important than that in jays opion.but saying all that its probably my fav behind evrything I am and homecoming(which is atually 5 yrs old he just switched the beat and added chris martin).

@ 115

I never claimed to be perfect, so maybe I am “faulty”. But I know damn well I didn’t diss him a day and half ago. What post were you referring to? But yeah, we dont’ have to hold our tongues just because celebs read this. Of course we learned how to be tactful over the years, but still. We were always Kanye fans, check the archives - his outbursts in the past just got crazy and irked everyone’s nerves. Like David Chappelle said “When keepin it real goes wrong” But I’m over explaining that in every post.

Also, I never bashed 50 Cent either, so I don’t know where that is stemming from.

Anyway, thanx for all the love everyone. We appreciate it.

Big ups, Angel!!

I think one of the reasons you get a shout is that you try to remain positive in your stories, or you post stories and leave it up to the READERS to post comment for the most part.

There are “other sites” (and we all know the worst offender) who will NEVER get props from celebs and publicist because they totally fabricate stories or, 99% of the stories they post are negative

I love you, and I love what you’re doing, but my ONLY gripe is that your stories aren’t posted as often as I’d like…. some days, you only have two stories for the entire day. Once you get time to really pay attention to your site full time; you’ll be the she-it and start making some serious cash.

Proud of you, young sista!

The sad story of all of this, is that people will buy only one of the CDs, when both CDs are like that! And I am not exaggerating…

Kanye CD, I love it!

50’s CD, I love it!!!!

They’re 2 of the greatest rap CD’s since a long time ago…

KANYE DIDN’T SHOUT OUT CONCRETE IN A POSTIIVE WAY.

SOMETHING WAS SAID ABOUT “LIES AND RUMORS” AND THEN THAT’S WHEN HE SHOUTED OUT THIS SITE AND 50 FINISHED IT BY CALLING THIS SITE A FORUM FOR “HATERS AND BLOGGERS.”

THAT’S REALLY SAD WHEN YOU GUYS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPLIFT YOUR OWN AND YOUR OWN PEOPLE SEE YA’LL AS BULLSHIT.

AGAIN, YOU CAN “KEEP IT REAL” WITHOUT DOING A “WENDY WILLIAMS” AND TEARING A PERSON DOWN. OUR BLACK CELEBS DO CHARITY WORK, HAVE REAL PROBLEMS AND ARE REAL PEOPLE. YOU CAN POST PLENTY OF POSITIVES AND LEAVE THE NEGATIVES FOR THE WHITE SITES.

BLACKS HAVE BEEN DOWN FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL HAVEN’T REACHED THE “DREAM” BECAUSE WE DON’T RESPECT EACH OTHER FOR RACISM TO EXTINGUISH ITSELF.

@ 130.

He did shout them out in a positive way. 50 Cent said the hater/blogger thing first and then Kanye shouted out CL. This isn’t the first time he shouted them out either. He said it on his mixtape and on a recent interview.

You seem like a hater. If you actually visit concrete loop you would know they post important news issues too. You talking about hating, quit hating on 3 black people coming up. This site never bashes (well some of the comments do) but the CL crew doesn’t.

I wish them all the best and Angel I know you never thought in a million years this blog would be this big. I’ve been coming here since you started it. Excellent job my sister.

I’m sorry but that wasn’t a shout out to be happy about 50 said to the audience y’all sound like bloggers and called them haters and Kanye said ‘Yea shout out to Concrete Loop” any ol’ person would realize he’s saying that’s where haters blog or Concrete Loop is full of haters..I’m a Concrete Loop, Kanye, and 50 fan got all three albums from both artists but I also call it how I see it- he played y’all
lol but hey he promoted y’all too so it works for me lmao!

I feel Graduation is Kanye’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’. 50 made a classic on his first CD and Kanye did it on his third…..
