MUSIC NEWS: KANYE SAYS “PARANOID” WASN’T FINISHED / MARIO SPEAKS ON NEW ALBUM / LLOYD RELEASING MIXTAPE; WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM

Friday, May 29, 2009

Kanye West is a little upset that the unfinished version of his newest video, “Paranoid” (starring Rihanna) was leaked earlier this week. Peep what he wrote on his blog on Wednesday:

It hurts me to see the old and very wrong version of the Paranoid video get leaked all over the net while I was on an 11hr flight and couldn’t do anything about it. It’s just frustrating when this stuff happens because I really care about the product and since videos never get played any way you might as well tweak them and make them as special as possible. The version that got leaked from the camera phone last week is at least a little closer to the final product. Thank you everybody for your support but that video was not up to my standards..

I’m actually glad that wasn’t the finished version, I stopped watching mid-way through because I wasn’t feeling it. No word on when he will release the finished version of the vid.

MARIO SPEAKS ON NEW ALBUM

Mario recently sat down for a brand new interview and spoke about his upcoming album, “And Then There Was Me”. The album, Mario’s fourth effort and first since 2007s “Go,” is already confirmed to feature Sean Garrett and Gucci Mane.

“My last album was very R&B driven. I would say this one is still very musical but it’s not as R&B as my last record. One of the things I feel like has kept me around as an artist in our generation is the fact that I have made transitions on each album and (am still) continuing to do that you know… I want to say everything that I’ve done, even outside of music (you know doing TV shows and doing shows out of the country) all of it influences me as an artist. You’ll hear that on the album, it’s a lot different.”

LLOYD TO RELEASE NEW MIXTAPE; WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM

R&B singer Lloyd has been M.I.A. since the release of his third album, “Lessons In Love” a little over a year ago, but don’t fret he is releasing a mixtape, “Lessons in Love 2.0″ with all new material this weekend. The mixtape will also have some unreleased songs and bonus/remix songs from the last album.

In addition to the mixtape, Lloyd is currently in the studio working on his fourth album with some top notch producers including: Jim Jonsin, The Runners, Cool & Dre, Rodney Jerkins and Adonis. Be sure to keep it locked to CL for the release of “Lessons in Love 2.0″ this weekend.

OH PLEASE Kanye…. i wonder how he felt about the video before he heard all the backlash..He needs to take Rihanna out of the video..add a little more of himself and get Zoe Kravitz or somebody..

How did “Lessons In Love” do anyway? I like Lloyd as an artist, i wish him well.

Mario!!! Im so happy to see him creating a fourth album he’s super talented and he’s right about the reasons he’s still in the industry. He grows with every album. Can’t wait.

Kayne, stop acting like a BITCH all the time

Looking forward to Mario’s new CD.

Lloyd let it go!

Kanye-That video was so boring and just looked thrown together. I see why he would want to put out another version.

Mario-Aw another one that’s steering away from R&B. I guess he’s going on that pop bland ballad route like everyone else *sigh* Well maybe not. I will give the new album a chance just to see lol.

Lloyd-His music is on point. I’m surprised his last album was slept on and some didn’t like it. To me it was better than Street Love which is a good album also. Looking forward to that mixtape.

It’s all good Kanye, can’t wait to see the finished version!

and can’t wait to hear them Lloyd and Mario albums!

New Lloyd? I’m excited. As for Mario, I’m excited but it seems like he is willing to do what everyone else is doing. I really wish someone could top the charts with straight up R&B, because everyone has to sellout to get a hit these days. *Sighs*

Friday, May 29, 2009 /

please KAnye..we see right through your lame excuse!!! everybody thought the video sucked so he realized just having rihanna half naked wasn’t enough to make the video likeable..hence we have this pathetic excuse of an “unfinished video”..as for the other two no comment!

14.

caniaddressthat?

Friday, May 29, 2009 /

The video was subtle and good, in my opinion. Any tampering with it, adding the animals and making Rihanna look possessed is going to be too literal. Maybe he could do a remix and have a sort of continuity about the paranoia…that would work, I think…having the remix with her vocals and they can just show her the entire video without mouthing to them on her parts just as she’s basically acting in the other video..I just DON’T want to see wolves and glowing eyes..

i think a lot of people really slept on lessons in love. i can listen to it straight through. i am anxious to hear the mixtape

@Vividly.Artistic zoe kravitz would’ve been perfect for that vid. love that girl. she’s gorgeous. plus she acts so she would’ve conveyed the message better. i think he was doing this to help riri out though. a lot has happened that could’ve damaged her career so he’s trying to get her back out to the public. he said himself that she’s like his sister and he’d do anything to help her career

Am I the only one that thinks Lloyd should put those braids to rest? Okay we get it you have “good” hair, but it so time for a style change!

Friday, May 29, 2009 /

Yeah, right, Kanye. He know damn well that was the final version. I’m so sick of these artists trying to say something wasn’t official AFTER the public rejects it.

I’m sick of hearing about Mario’s album…just drop the joint already! I have a feeling it will have a more pop sound which I’m not looking forward too.

Good luck to Llyod. His last album was hardly promoted so hopefully his peps got it together.

Okay, some of yah are just way too much for comfort!lol I wish Angel posted the stills of the final cut of Kanye’s new video….It is going to make a major difference! They look like some ol sin city footage! Definitely amazing! Kanye is a true artist… therefore he is conscious about what he puts out there! What is wrong with that? Black people need to really expand their horizons a bit…You miss out on soooo much when you limit yourselves to a box!

DONT MAKE ME MAD!

Friday, May 29, 2009 /

RIHANNA IN KANYE WEST VIDEO = BULLSHIT

KANYE, dont throw away the ounce of validity you have by trying to help out troubled Rihanna, the girl is damaged goods, and your going to join the wreckage if you keep it up.

Lloyd,

I just want to say that it is wounderful that you got something going and kept doing it. With some people things never change. That had a shot and did nothing about it. This is not to get you down but to let you know that some people are not like you. You are an example of greatness. I hope your hopes and and dreams come true. I wish you the best.

Love,
MsHeat

The industry is trying to keep us from owning more than one piece of the pie and we are falling right into it. Pretty soon it’ll be just like walking through the book store, even though we write on a variety of subject matter virtually all of our books are in the “black” section. What’s it about/who wrote it/a black guy/put it in the black section. In other words R&B and Rap are two different genres. WE need to take responsibility for that. If you sing, stop doing mixtapes.
