Kanye channels Jimi Hendrix for new Heartless single

Kanye West definently gets the power of nudity lately.  Considering the look and feel of his last video "Love Lockdown",  and the look of his upcoming single "Heartless"-- he is clearly channeling the rawness of the 1960's Rock and Mod movement with a splash of Stanley Kubrik's trippyness.  Peep the cover of Jimi Hendrix's classic album "Electric Ladyland" above...and images from Kanye's new video "Heartless" below.

I'm hyped to see the video when it is done!   Kanye doesn't allow the industry to put him in a box.  He keeps stretching the boundaries.  I always say it...Kanye is the John Lennon of Hip-Hop.  Expect the unexpected.

G-Love reps the Warriors

My man G. Love (From G.Love and Special Sauce fame) sent over images from his current tour.  He is repping an Ecko Unltd. "Warriors" T-shirt. Big up! He is a wildly talented performer and hails proudly from Philadelphia-- which I don't hold against him.  He uses his harmonica  to seduce beautiful women. It works--- I have seen it in action...

The Warriors is a cult classic  action film from 1979, directed by Walter Hill.   It is based on a multi-culti street Gang that comes from Coney Island, NY.  It is campy as all hell-- but wildly influential on the PUNK scene and NYC street culture. A modern-day remake of the film is set to be directed by Tony Scott, with a tentative release date of 2010. The remake will include more realistic gang members and try to create a modern version of the story, set in LA.  I gotta' learn how to play a harmonica...or any instrument....
