Two days ago Kanye West gave a preview of his highly anticipated album and 45 minute long video for Runaway at Bafta in London. Instead of playing his album Kanye played his 45 minute long film which features 7 songs off of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (dropping November 22nd).
For a little preview for the viewers here at TKFV here are some extra details of what you can expect from the film:
Inspired by "Thriller", Prince’s "Purple Rain" and Pink Floyd’s "The Wall"
Inspired by Picasso and Matisse
Encapsulates “An overall representation of what I dream”
There is a scene that features an over-sized paper mache model of Michael Jackson’s head
The film was written and directed by Mr. West, with the assistance of art director Vanessa Beecroft
Nicki Minaj narrates in a British accent
Selita Ebanks is cast as Yeezy’s love interest, and the “Phoenix”
Shot in four days while out in Prague, apparently pulling 20 hour days
So at the end of the day Kanye is once again on a whole different level than anyone else in the game. Not a big surprise haha, but I'm very excited to see this video and listen to his new album (once again dropping November 22nd). Rosewood! Read more...
Here's part two of VT Union's 4word Movement show. In this episode 4word affiliate Bobby Konders calls Nastee to explain what type of song needs to be recorded for them to get a hit. As Nastee and A.dog decide to play a few throwback "Street Fighter" rounds they are thrust into the world of animated video games, taking on the identities of Ryu and Sagat. They unite with the rest of the squad, Dakota as E. Honda, Malice as Balrog and Bobby Konders as Akuma and move 4word to fight the forces of evil. Their adversaries are Bison (the Nazi), Blanka (the Reptillian), Zangief (the Russian) and Guile (the Amerikkkan) who incidentally have taken Dhalsim and put him in jail. The Union fights against the forces of evil, battling across the globe, from the jail house to the White House only to find themselves stuck in this animated, Street Fighter world. Watch and find out how they get back to the "real" world!

Kyle Thompson (also known as Fattie B.) of Burlington, Vermont has been a DJ, MC, and visual artist for a decade and a half, and has also been one of the biggest role models for Gray and myself as young kids growing up in Vermont. He is one of the most recognizable characters for talent in Vermont today and will always be seen in my eyes as one of the most amazing people I have ever met in the art and music world.
Bio:
While locking down a regular DJ slot on 90.1 FM (WRUV) radio and attending Champlain College in 1993 under the pseudonym Fattie Bumballattie, Thompson joined the acid-jazz/soul/funk group BELIZBEHA as the lone MC. The seven-piece collective (which featured 2 female vocalists and a full rhythm section) spent the next 7 years touring, performing an average of 200 shows per year. BELIZBEHA toured across the continental US 15 times as well as extended trips to Canada and Germany. During this time, BELIZBEHA sold more than 30,000 independent copies of Charlie's Dream (their debut CD) and Void Where Inhibited (their second disc) combined. BELIZBEHA was the first unsigned band to work with publicists Susan Blonde Agency, whose clients at the time included Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston, BELIZBEHA was touted as “the next sure thing” by Billboard magazine in 1998 and appeared on Canada’s Breakfast TV two times that same year. In 1999, on the verge of a major label deal, the band disbanded due to inner relationship disagreements.
Following the end of the touring grind, Fattie landed a weekly weekend spot on the AAA radio station 96.7 FM (WPLS) called The Groovebox (along with fellow Burlington DJ Craig Mitchell). At the same time, Fattie released the first in a collection of independent compilations on his own Fattie B. Records entitled HOP, which showcased the finest downtempo, acid-jazz, hip-hop and soul from artists in and around the northeast U.S. Between 1999 and 2004, he released six subsequent volumes of the HOP series. 100% of the proceeds from the sales of these discs went directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
In April of 1999, Fattie began to DJ a weekly club dance party showcasing 70’s & 80’s hits entitled RETRONOME at Club Metronome. It quickly became the area’s most successful residence. Fattie is still at the helm of RETRONOME to this day.
In 2002, Fattie opened a small clothing boutique on Main Street in Burlington called STEEZ. He and his partner, Jordan Boyea, sold lines such as LRG, Mixwell, Xlarge, The Hundreds, Leroy Jenkins and Lemar & Dauley. STEEZ also sold canvases and clothing featuring the iconic artwork of Fattie (work inspired equally by Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and hip-hop’s golden age).
In 2003, STEEZ moved from its smaller Main Street location to a larger, more visible space on the Church Street marketplace at 104 Church Street (2nd Floor). The expanded store now carries lines such as: Akomplice, 10Deep, Crooks & Castles, Black Scale and CTRL (among others). Fatties’ bold hip-hop and DJ inspired art can also be purchased as paintings, prints, posters as well as clothing. His posters and prints are distributed worldwide to thousands of retailers through Culturenik (www.culturenik.com), including: Target, Blockbuster, Urban Outfitters and Beyond The Wall. Fattie also currently has an on-going acrylic painting showing at Jan Larsen Gallery in Brooklyn, NY (www.janlarsenart.com). Visit his web site at www.steezshop.com for examples of his work.
In 2005, Fattie produced and released Burlington’s Un-Scene, a collaborative compilation with local record store L-Burners that featured the best of the areas hip-hop MCs and DJs. He also returned to the microphone to lead seminal hip-hop groups Eye Oh You and Three the Hard Way (with DJ A-Dog) to extremely successful runs. Fattie also released Greetings From Vermont: An Introduction To Burlington’s MCs and Djs in 2007 - another showcase of local hip-hop talent.
The list of major acts that Fattie has shared the stage with is impressive. Through his BELIZBEHA, Eye Oh You, Three the Hard Way, and DJ gigs, he has performed with these talents:
The Roots, Kool & The Gang, A Tribe Called Quest, Maceo Parker, Black Eyed Peas, Morris Day & The Time, Busta Rhymes, The Wailers, KRS-One, Ben Harper, Slick Rick, Africa Bambaata, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Pharcyde, Michael Franti, Talib Kweli, Gil Scott Herron, Jurassic 5, Sugarhill Gang, Ziggy Marley, Digital Underground, Common, US3, Redman, Big Daddy Kane, Grey Boy All-Stars, Guru, GZA, Brand Nubian, Groove Collective, Soulive, MOE, G-Love & Special Sauce, Smif N Wesson, Jon Fishman (of Phish), Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Schoolly D, C Rayz Walz, Mike G (of The Jungle Brothers), Oteil Burbridge, Ledisi, J-Live, String Cheese Incident, Disco Biscuits, Aquarium Rescue Unit, The Samples, Strangefolk and DJ Rob Swift, Revolution and Questlove.
Locally, Fattie can currently be found locking it down at four different weekly gigs where he spins everything from hip-hop & soul to 80’s & old school.

So I saw rain for the first time in 6 weeks yesterday, which lead to some kids showing me some pretty sick videos. They aren't new, but absolutely worth watching.
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS NUDITY (still watch it, its sexy)
^My girlfriend sent that to me, ironically enough.
It's been awhile since Gray or myself have posted a Maestro Knows video, but here's the season finale of season 3 featuring director, Va$htie. In this episode Maestro follows Va$htie around New York City as they show a few people what her newly designed Air Jordan sneaker looks like in person.
My homie DJ Sum1 just showed me this a couple minutes ago. Thought I'd throw it up for a "Funny Fridays" post. So here you go! "Cami Secret Parody (Boob Apron)." Check it out below:
