WTF, Kanye?

I love Kanye West. Yes, even when he gets all cocky and “I’m the greatest in the mother effing world!” I also happen to be ob-sessed with his new song, Love Lockdown. I downloaded it on iTunes 2 weeks ago and already have 189 plays (I have a problem).

Yesterday, Kanye went on the Ellen Degeneres show to debut his video for the song (what ever happened to MTV, people?) and it is…weird. Like, really weird. Like, I think I need to be one some sort of mushroom/trippy drug to understand what is going on, weird.

Not that it makes the song any less awesome. Watch and judge for yourself.


The New Don Imus: Bigger, Better and…Blacker

don imus

Eight months after radio-host Don Imus used racial slurs against the Rutgers Women’s Basketball teams he’s back on the air – and he’s not racist anymore! Promise!

Imus (and the heads at RFD-TV, no doubt) must have thought it would be a great idea to prove his non-racial stance by hiring on not one but two black comedians. (We are only calling attention to their race to prove how “un-racist” we are here at College Candy.)

Diversity has a name, or two names in this case: comedians Karith Foster and Tony Powell. Foster is a Jewish/African-American/Texan who graduated from Oxford (JACKPOT!) and Powell is…an African-American comedian!

Don Imus, African-American sidekick(s), continued wisecracks and controversy – sounds like the show is extending an olive-branch towards its infamous rival.

Will this act of unity (and comedy) scream heavy-duty marketing or turn this never-ending controversy on its ear? Tune in to WABC-AM (or RFD-TV) and find out.
