Before he was going by Yeezus, Kanye West had a couple more slices of humble pie than he does now. Okay, not really, but in this rare Tim Westwood freestyle from 2005, Kanye spits slightly less arrogant bars for the UK DJ. He slips up a couple of times, but manages to tackle 13 minutes of off the top isms. 

Ciara is as hit-or-miss as it gets. For every crunk-worthy "Got Me Good" that didn't quite make an impact on ears (or even placement on her upcoming album), there's a "Body Party" that did. And for every sexy and synthy "Sorry" that should have, there's an "I'm Out" that will instead. We already told you that the opening track to Cici's upcoming self-titled set is an anthemic club banger for the ladies, but now you can hear the Nicki Minaj-assisted tune for yourself. 

While it's been almost a decade since Will Smith released a new album, Kanye West is trying to change that. In an interview with HipHollywood.com, the Fresh Prince reveals that he's being urged by Yeezy to get back in the booth and record some new music. 

Fans of VH1's T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle will remember this past week's episode where T.I. was filming the video for "Hello" with Cee-Lo and his family was all there to support...and even star in it. It's a family affair in the desert. 

Breaking news, guys. Beyonce is a grown woman. Okay?! So, to be clear, that means that, if she so chooses, she can be bad if she wants. Or live fast. But maybe also go slow. And, well—according to the rest of her new song's lyrics—she can ultimately do "whatever" she wants. Got that? Good, it's settled. 

This past weekend, T.I. dropped a clip of the video for his collaboration with Lil Wayne titled "Wit Me." To call the clip a trailer would be an insult to trailers everywhere, as it only clocked in at 18 seconds. Well, the video finally arrived, and it's as fast as the teaser. But not in the way that you might think. 

 

If you had something better to do last night than dedicate three hours of your evening to watching the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, then take the next three minutes instead to read through this and catch up on what everyone's talking about at the water cooler. You're welcome.

 

See the photo above? It's a screenshot on the side of a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York City. That is merely one of 66 locations that will be premiering Kanye West's new single "New Slaves" globally. The track with projected visuals of Ye will appear on the various locations all night long. When Kanye returns, he goes hard in the (building) paint.
