Mercy (RL Grime & Salva Remix) by Kanye West
NYC producer RL Grime teams up with L.A producer Salva and they decide to flip the Kanye West single “Mercy” into a sirenlaced club banger that’s just one small step away from tearing up our speakers.
Video: Mercy (feat. Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz) by Kanye West
Today, Kanye West delivers the video for “Mercy,” the excellent Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz posse cut that he released back in April. Directed by Nabil, the video is a stark and elemental black-and-white thing: The four rappers (plus one woman, a couple of expensive videos, and a dancing Kid Cudi) in a gigantic unfurnished room, seen in one continuous take as the camera slowly turns on an axis. Oh, and also, all the rappers have Jamie Madrox-style self-cloning powers and Nightcrawler-style teleporting powers. It’s fucking awesome! (via Stereogum)
Video: No Church In The Wild (feat. Frank Ocean) by Jay-Z & Kanye West
Jay and Ye aren't in the video. It's basically a lot of rioting between police and some people. They throw Molotov cocktails, then there are lasers and fireworks, and then an elephant is confused as to why he is there.
Mercy (feat. Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz) by Kanye West
Kanye West has begun the run-up to his new G.O.O.D. music compilation with “Mercy," a booming head-nodder that manages to be find room enough for the braggadocio of Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz. Playing off a hook about a two-seat Lamborghini, West’s posse takes turns flossing while tossing out catchy references to Sarah Palin, Rick James and Ms. Pac Man. Is there a better way to kick-off Good Friday? (via Idolator)
Theraflu (feat. DJ Khaled) by Kanye West
The other night, Funkmaster Flex debuted “Theraflu,” a brand-new out-of-nowhere solo track from Kanye West. The track features DJ Khaled, and beyond his pitched-up bellowing and Flex’s tags and explosions, there’s a lot standing in the way of actually hearing the song. But it’s a seriously strong performance, all hard snarls over a bleepy late-’90s-style beat. And it also finds Kanye getting surprisingly personal, at least for a couple of lines, about his long-rumored relationship with Kim Kardashian. (via Stereogum)
The whole industry wanna fuck ya old chick, only nigga I got respect for is Wiz. And I’ll admit I fell in love with Kim, around the same time she had fell in love with him.
Round of Applause/Where My Money At? by A-Trak
Fresh off the red carpet at The Grammy's, A-Trak releases two free songs today on his Facebook page. "Round of Applause" features those familiar verses from Waka and Drake for a wild dance tune, while the second features some Kanye West and Jay-Z sampling, "Where My Money At." Get them while they're hot. (via Vibe To This)

Video: N*ggas In Paris by Jay-Z & Kanye West
On their Watch The Throne tour last year, Jay-Z and Kanye West became notorious for performing their triumphant banger “Niggas In Paris” over and over, and over. One of last year’s greatest singles finally has official visuals to front, and it centers almost entirely around those live shows which we all loved, with Jay and Ye rocking a huge crowd that seems to mostly consist of models. The quick edits and laser-lights are so relentless that the video comes with an epilepsy warning, and the repeated use of lion-roars is just awesome.(via Stereogum)
News: N*ggas In Paris, Videojacked
In just a few hours, Jay-Z and Kanye West will premiere the long awaited visuals for their mega-hit and stadium meme, “Niggas In Paris.” Cue STARK’s impressive videojack. The only question is whether The Throne can top this. (via PMA)
“Videojacking: Action of stealing a music video, an audiovisual work, even before the artist asked for itself, ordered, undertook, realized, and even thought about it.”
News: N*ggas In Paris Video by Jay-Z & Kanye West
A video worth this pre-post. The Throne (Jay & Ye) will reportedly release the visual display for the instant classic slammer "N*ggas In Paris" sometime this week. According to an anonymous source at Vevo, the Jay-Z & Kanye West duo will make it available sometime over the next few days. Still no word on specifics...
All Of The Lights² (Ellie Goulding vs. Kanye West vs. Portland Cello Project Mash-Up) by The Hood Internet
Chicago’s The Hood Internet
returns with an orchestral new mash-up, blending Ellie Goulding’s
“Lights” with hints of Kanye West’s “All of the Lights,” both powered by
the Portland Cello Project’s rendition
of the latter. The resulting re-work allows Goulding’s weightless
vocals to soar over the cello cover, with Kanye’s thumbprint still felt
throughout (via Culture Bully).
Diamonds (Big Z Remix) by Kanye West
Gotta give it up to Big Z for taking this Kanye classic and chilling it out- although, I’m guessing the video had something to do with that. Watch out for this one coming on Big Z’s next mixtape, it’s gotta good start so far… (via Silence Nogood)
Documentary: Kanye West VOYR (Episode 1) | World Leaders
I have for you here a "a behind-the-scenes perspective that's utterly self-indulgent, totally over the top, and actually pretty awesome" (via CraveOnline). A mini-documentary via VoyR which offers great footage of Chi-Town's (Kanye West) life on the road while on his Watch The Throne journey with New York (Jay-Z).
A video outfitted mostly with Ye's narration,which lays out some silky prose about who he wants at his funeral ("I want world leaders to be affected") and how he wants to be remembered. Watch out for moments with with Jay-Z, Raekwon, French Montana, Don C. and others.
"Okay, I'm doing music, but there's a bigger plan for me. It's like, I wasn't given this power for no reason. And now it's starting to open up."
