It's Amazing...So Amazing. (Well, it's decent) -Updated

Want another premiere?

Yeah you do.

The new Kanye West video/single featuring Young Jeezy, 'Amazing', saw the light of day...last night. Does that even make sense?

Couple of more 'Ye related pieces of news:

-Videos have been shot for Paranoid and RoboCop.

-As posted here months ago (maybe even decades), Paranoid WILL feature Rihanna. Not sure whether it will feature her singing and in the video, but at the very least she's in the video.

Anyway, catch another artistic Kanye West video below. It's ripped from BET unfortunately, I'll replace it with a HD one ASAP. However, that does mean it has an interview at the end, which is good to watch. (On a side note, I must say I still find Jeezy's verse the highlight of this song)

Enjoy:

Some Very Interesting Info

Don't ask how, why or where. Just enjoy knowing before everyone else.
- Kanye West's next single will almost definitely be Paranoid. However, instead of Mr. Hudson and Kid Cudi on the chorus, there will apparently be a new version with...

....Rihanna.


- Busta Rhymes will be releasing a single with Estelle called World Go Round. This song already leaked a while back, but that version didn't have Estelle on it, although it was still pretty good.


Look for both between January and February.

- Oh, and the confirmed (well...pretty much) return of Dr. Dre. Before I get to that, some background info:

The obvious piece of background: Dre's album was said to be coming this year, after 50 Cent's and Eminem's, in many interview with 50, Eminem, and Jimmy Iovine, the head of the Interscope label. Obviously, we have heard that since 2004, but it made more sense this time around, with 50 and Eminem being released too.

The slightly less obvious background: Some of you will have heard/downloaded a track that leaked from Eminem recently. This has been called a few different names, such as 'Number One' and 'Breaking Bottles'.

Well, firstly, it's actually called 'Crack A Bottle'. Secondly, you will notice that this is a 'reference' track for Dre, as Eminem 'introduces' his verses at two different points, and then raps them himself. Hence, it is called a reference track, it is a suggestion for the direction/style/tempo Dre should go at.

That's the background info. Now, the new info:

Last week: Eminem said in response to Crack A Bottle being leaked that he wasn't sure whether they were going to finish the track, and if they did, whether it would be on Relapse or Detox. This, clearly shows that if it was to be on the Spring-bound Relapse, Dre is actually putting material out, and he can't be far behind. If it's made for Detox, the implications are obvious.

Last night: Dre randomly doing a guest verse on an official remix to a Kardinal Offishal song, 'Set It Off'. Why would he randomly feature on a virtual unknown's track? One reason: to start getting people talking about him again. Reminding everyone he can rap, and make a song no-one knows into a hit. An ego trip? Probably.

The comeback is slowly but surely gathering pace. I haven't got around to listening to the track yet, but will post my opinion of it in the comments when I do.

As always, leave a comment, spark some discussion.
