New Michael Jackson Album Due For November, To Feature 10 New Songs

http://vbuzzblog.freedomblogging.com/files/2009/07/michael-jackson1.jpg

An all-new Michael Jackson collection featuring 10 unreleased songs will be released this November, a rep for the Jackson estate exclusively tells Rolling Stone. At the time of his death Jackson reportedly left hard drives filled with unheard music, much of it recorded during the King of Pop’s ’80s peak.

Jackson’s manager Frank DiLeo told RS that he estimates that Jackson’s vaults contain more than 100 completed and unreleased songs, including collaborations with Akon, Will.i.am and Ne-Yo. ”There are a couple of songs we recorded for the Bad album that we had to cut that are just sensational,” DiLeo said.

As Rolling Stone previously reported, the album of never-before-heard Jackson songs will be the first in a 10-project, seven-year deal the Jackson estate inked with Sony Music in March 2010 — a $250 million pact that will also include reissues of Jackson’s classic albums, new greatest hits sets, a DVD collection of all Michael’s music videos and possibly a Cirque du Soleil show. ~MSNBC

Kanye West - Power (Music Video Review)



The NY Times has apparently seen the new music video for Kanye's single 'Power' and just dropped us this review. Sounds very interesting, but at least now we know why Kanye keeps tweeting medieval golden cups, thrones, and bowls... read below.

…created by the artist Marco Brambilla, Mr. West is seen standing imposingly with a heavy chain around his neck. As Mr. West raps the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The Sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. (ArtsBeat was allowed to watch a portion of this video but was not permitted to post it.)

In the interview Lupe said "for me, it's a wake up, the building (Atlantic Records) a wake up" Well, hopefully its a big wake up call, never in the history of the music industry has a petition with over 10,000 fans has been made. Look for Lupe to be more aggressive with Atlantic over the past few weeks in trying to get this release. The fans have spoken. Release Lasers.

Cassidy Reveals Two Rapper He Would Love To See Battle [Video]



How dope would that be, two Hip Hop Legends battling (Rakim vs Krs0ne.) But if you asked me personally.. I'd love see Lupe Fiasco vs Lil Wayne battle, that way everyone can finally stop the argument surfacing on every You Tube video pertaining to rap: "Whose the best rapper alive?" question then there's the occasional "my top 5" and so forth.

Who would you love to see battle?
