808s & Deactivates

Kanye West has officially left Twitter and Instagram and everyone is breathing a sigh of relief. Why, because after last week’s rant and his unplanned speech supporting Donald Trump, saying that “slavery wasn’t real“, and that “the Democratic plan was to break up black families with welfare” – we are all muhfukkin tired!

Well, on SNL last night during Pete Davidson’s monologue, he discussed how embarrassed he was to witness Kanye’s speech; so embarrassed, that he actually left the stage. Most importantly, Pete, who has a history of suffering from mental illness is fed up with Kanye using mental illness as an excuse for his antics.

Now, even though Yeezy deleted his account on Saturday morning, he had to have known he was going to get clowned on SNL on Saturday night, because this wouldn’t be the first time SNL dragged Kanye West. Kanye has a long history of beef with Saturday Night Live; XXL covered this history with the article, A Timeline Of Kanye West’s Up-And-Down Relationship With ‘SNL’. Check out Davidson’s full monologue below, and enjoy Twitter now that Yeezy is outta here; if only we can get rid of that OTHER twitter guy, life would be awesome.

How long you spend at the mall?..ALL DAY!

From So Help Me God— Swish—-Waves—to T.L.O.P. ( The Life of Pablo) the most anticipated album is finally on its way. After the countless name changes!!!!! ( Jeeez SWAY! Lol) to the hold on “G.O.O.D.” Fridays were Ye faithfully gave us a new track/snippet from the album every Friday to the revealing of a track list ( which was recently updated). The album from the genius himself is on its way to Ipods, smartphones and shelves near you.

But of course its Kanye so it would be only right for him to debut the album in a huge way, I mean you remember the “My Dark Twisted Fantasy” movie? . So it be unlike him to not have something up his sleeve for this project. And that’s with the surprises he’s already given us such as

  1. Kirk Franklin being on the Album!
  2. The countless name changes ( still unsure how he came to T.L.O.P) but hey we will work with it
  3. Twitter rants circulating around the album itself
  4. ANDRE 3000 IS ON THE ALBUM!!!!!
  5. KENDRICK LAMAR IS ON THE ALBUM!!!
  6. KID CUDI IS ON THE ALBUM!!! ( all other features are a secret until the album drops per Ye)
  7. Ye gave away tickets to the fan who guessed what ( T.L.O.P) stood for plus gave them a free pair of Yeezy’s.

Not to mention that the debut of the album was exclusively to TIDAL at the premiere of the Yeezy Season 3 Clothing Line! This would include a dope video game “The Only One” which was designed around his mother flying through the clouds of heaven which was very heart felt.

It was definitely a good night to be Ye!

So now as a fans we are just waiting for this epic project to drop, but hey its Kanye West so we may be in for more surprises, I mean he’s already added some additional tracks. But being himself he did that the album would drop February 11th but still nothing.

Guess it’s just a waiting game again. ( view pictures below )

-A.C.T.

Aqueilla C. Terry, commonly known to many of her followers as “A.C.T” ; is a talented artists of this generation. Born and raised in Richmond, VA is truly a gem of her time. She has been writing for over 10 years as a young child to know a young woman in a world were “words” are her weapon of choice to achieve success. Often considered to be Erykah Badu’s daughter for her way with words, style, presence, music selections and overall persona. A.C.T. is definitely going to take over the world with wide range of creativity. Her ambition is driven by her will to succeed in reaching her goals, but by doing so by remaining herself along the journey. A.C.T. redefines the young black woman by sticking to her beliefs and who she is inside.

Kanye_confederate_flag_shirtYes, seems like Kanye has been the topic of conversation for about 10 weeks in a row, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder, Kanye gives you a new dose of weird. If you haven’t seen them by now, Kanye is on tour, and so are his line of Confederate Flag shirts. Yes! Kanye’s line of confederate flag shirts are now more controversial than Kanye himself. The flag, skull, and phrase “Never Coming Down” has some people shaking their heads and has others pulling out their wallets.

Kanye says: “React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. You know the confederate flag represented slavery in a way — that’s my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now. Now what are you going to do?”

The Huffington Post has recently reported that Kanye is not only selling at his concerts, but he has opened up a pop-up shop in L.A. full of confederate flag gear.

The most interesting part of the shirt is the phrase, “Never Coming Down”. As a resident of South Carolina, I feel like that’s a direct hit to our state, seeing as though people have been trying for quite some time for the Statehouse to remove the flag from the property. As of this day, the flag remains there, so that phrase definitely resonates with our state.

At the end of the day, Kanye now says it’s HIS flag now, so hell….let Kanye be great dammit.
