Kanye West - Glow in the Dark Tour EUROPE

Posted in Blog Entries  by Adi

Kanye West is doing a tour in Europe. I am not sure if he’ll have the full crew with him like he did in the US, but the possibility is there.

We have yet to hear a definite answer on this. Here are the dates for all you Europeans!

Lupe Fiasco - Fall of Rome - New Clothing Line

Posted in Blog Entries  by Adi

Some great new fashion news from Lupe Fiasco:

Colorful rapper Lupe Fiasco is set to go all-black to launch a new fashion line. All items in the rapper’s upcoming Fall of Rome catalogue will be black - and that’s all the hitmaker will wear once the line hits the market later this year (08). He says, “When your game is to sell clothes and for people to believe in you your brand and to push your brand, you keep your game fare on.” And Fiasco, real name Wasalu Jaco, tells Complex magazine his new fashion line even has an historical origin: “The logo for it is this broken statue that was pushed down when Rome was invaded; it represents the decay of beauty. I give my clothing a story. I create a purpose for it.”

Mac, 50, had been hospitalized for about a week at Northwestern Hospital, according to his spokeswoman.
