WATCH THE THRONE COMING IN 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! MY NEW ALBUM COMING THIS SUMMER. ALL THE LIGHTS VIDEO IN 1 WEEK!!!!!! THIS IS HIGH END RAP MUSIC Two months after the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye announced via his Twitter account that his sixth album is on the way this summer. He also confirmed that his collaboration project with Jay-Z, Watch The Throne is coming in March. The spring is his.

Although Kanye said “Watch The Throne coming in one week, nigga” on New Year’s, a lil’ birdie told Andrew over at FSD, that said project would be dropping on Tuesday, March 1st. If it means anything, the duo met yesterday at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo. Maybe they were deciding the first single. Check the YBF for a few pics.

In celebration of the release of Pink Friday, Nicki Minaj had a big Hot 97 sponsored show in NY last night. Along with opening act Fab, Nick got her summer jam on bringing a gang of guests out. None bigger than Mr. West. I guess the “fashion icon” has a new look. Ha!

YAF strikes again and comes through with new material from Kanye West and Jay-Z. It’s co-produced by Q-Tip with La Roux on the hook. Presumably, it’s off their upcoming album, Watch The Throne. It sounds incomplete, but we don’t count on Hov referring to a dog this time around. UPDATE: No tags. diverse

So far, this Friday is turning out G.O.O.D. for Kanye West. Yesterday, a Miami judge threw out the lawsuit, Suge filed against him in May due to lack of evidence. Suge was seeking over $1 million in damages after he claimed the rapper, who hosted a party at the Shore Club in Miami, was responsible for lack of security when he was shot.

G.O.O.D. call, guys. “He’s basically putting out a mixtape on the radio,” MTV News supervising producer Sean Lee said during the Hottest MCs roundtable discussion. “These songs are throwaways for his album. He’s taking this beat from here, this feature on here, let me get this person on here, and putting them out to the public. And the public is […]

Funkmaster Flex got the green light to premiere Banks’ new posse cut on Hot 97. Apparently, he changed the name from “Trackstar” to “Start It Up”. But it’s the music that counts, and from the sound of it, Hunger For More 2 is shaping up to be a full course meal. Album drops November 23rd. UPDATE:  Dirty version it up
