This book promises nothing but "Kanye-isms"... great more ego-boosting stuff for 'Ye.
"We actually removed all the songs with Auto-Tune off of his album," so Kanye said. "To make the point that this is an anti-Auto-Tune album."
"It doesn't matter to me." Kanye elaborated [on] his statement, "It's music; it's just sonics. I like Auto-Tune so I do it, but you want the other thing - like you'll wear a suit to a wedding and gym shoes to a basketball game. I think it's a perfect moment for Jay to provide some gym shoes to a basketball game right now."
Which is good news - in a world where everything is "digitalized", and seems like every artist is jumping on to the auto-tune bandwagon, including the Loius Vuttion Don himself (808s & Heartbreak, anyone?)
What's best to hear is, Jay's taking his time to make his latest one of his best
"He's just been working on it, and it's gonna be amazing when he drops it. I think it's good he's taking his time to give people the best product possible and not being rushed by this fast-food, media-outlet, Internet, everything-is-getting-leaked, people-stealing your-songs-before-you-can-mix-them-and-put-them-online world we're living in right now."
Hopefully what Kanye says is true!
On another note - Timbaland is apparently mad at Jay - all his tracks he had completed for Jay-Z, were scrapped due to the auto-tune features in them. Who knows if he's going to re-do them or scrap 'em all together...

LeBron seems to be at his edge in terms of trust in his teammates. His running mates, especially Mo Williams, have been there for the large majority of the season and post-season...until now. With his team missing shots, the bench failing to produce all game, and James himself having 8 turnovers in the 4th quarter alone yesterday, it doesn't seem like a good time in Cavaliers town as the series has a do-or-die waiting for them at home in Clevaland. As NBA.com reports:
"As he was after Game 3, LeBron James seems to be disappointed in the performance of his supporting cast.
"Those guys definitely made shots the whole first half, and it was good to see that," he said. "Mo definitely put a lot of pressure on himself and he played well. And I think our bench came in in the first half and gave us a great lift."
Notice the two uses of "first half." After halftime, LeBron's teammates shot 11-for-27 (41 percent). That's not terrible. Delonte West had a pair of big buckets, but the only basket by the Cavs' bench after halftime was Ben Wallace's dunk off a feed from LeBron.
Later in his presser, LeBron talked about the predicament of being down 3-1.
"We are looking forward to the challenge," he said. "I know I am. I'm up for the challenge, and I think my play, my leadership has spoke for that. So, I will be ready, and I think our guys will be ready also."
Those two italicized sentences may be an indication that the MVP, who has been so willing to pass the ball when it's the right play, may be losing faith in his teammates."
Even LeBron can only do so much on his own...
