Well, for starters let me just say TOTALLY wasn't expecting this! On Sunday night our boy Kanye West was preforming a show at Revel in Atlantic City, and midway through performing "Lost In The World" Mr. West stopped the music to shout out his baby momma (his words, not mine) Kim Kardashian. Later confirming the new was Kim’s sisters Khole and Kourtney Kardashian. Looks like little Blue Ivy Carter is about to have another playmate. Kim is said to be 12 week along in her pregnancy. Congrats to KIMYE!
TIBS UPDATE: Added video of Kanye's announcement below.
Oh Kanye, I do give you props for not wearing a kilt on bare skin... The leather leggings pants give the look a great touch. He first rocked the looked during his Watch the Throne tour, but his obsession with fashion and determination to "make it work" shows that he will stop at nothing. Custom made by Givenchy and Riccard Tisci, Kanye's leather kilt is the subjects of many opinions... just look at all of those faces in the room!
And also, just for fun, this is a kilt with out the leggings. Always remember to lotion those ashy knees!
3x platinum = 3 million sales. Quite the achievement for the 3 men above. "N****s In Paris" was such an iconic anthem a couple summers ago (and since) and launched the career of Hit-Boy to another level. In other milestones for TheThrone, "No Church In The Wild" hit Gold status with 500K sales for the single. I think this GIF will wrap things up...
Move over Buble and Biebs, it's time for some real 'Hip Hop Holiday" Music.

"Deck da Club," the Ying Yang Twins
Though the Ying Yan Twins may be a breath longer than One-Hit-Wonder-dom, they manage to make a comeback into each and everyone of our hearts with their own version of Deck the Halls meets booty bumping music. This is so horribly awful... its awesome.

"Merry Muthaf---in' Xmas," Eazy-E
Think if Jingle Bells were a porno… the song is still hilarious! Definitely not for little ears.
EDIT #2: Above is the full performance from Kanye West, who had Twitter trending with this set - performing his hit songs like "Gold Digger", "Good Life", and "Stronger" to, not his usual crowd at Madison Square Garden primarily there to see Bruce Springsteen or Paul McCartney, all the while wearing a leather black kilt. What did you think of the performance?
Bonus: Alicia Keys also performed and her set can be seen below. More info and to donate, visit 121212Concert.org.
Well, well, well, we meet again for another one of my RiP's Top 5 Songs of The Week. Let's jump right into because I know you all having been waiting on this(wishful thinking).
This was already one of the more solid tracks from Cruel Summer to me, and I was always curious why 2 Chainz was even on the song with such a short verse. This was a good come back and 2 Chainz did his thing by himself.
I bet this is a real surprise, I have a Big Boi track in my Top 5(internet sarcasim). Once again Big Boi delivers, to bad this one didn't make the final cut, but I will be adding it to my iPod none the less.
Having Kendrick Lamar on your album has become as important to rappers as a Stove to a chef. Even though only on the hook I think most people will attract to the song because they'll see featuring Kendrick Lamar. Dope song regardless, and Scarface is still a beast even after not releasing much in the past.
This soundtrack is starting to sounding like it might be one best to come out in a long time as far as urban music goes. John Legend delivered on this just like Ross did last week.
First let me start off by saying that Common KILLED his verse. I was looking forward to an actual verse from Ye, but the song still was pretty dope.
So that's this weeks list, if you got opinions feel free to voice them in the comments of to me on Twitter.Until next week friends, two fingers to the side.
