Here is Kanye West performing at TI’s Myspace concert.  He performs his verse from “Swagger Like Us”, ”Love Lockdown” and “Heartless”…his new joint.  I’m feeling Kanye.  I can’t wait to hear the new album “808’s and Heartbreak.”  The album was completed and turned in already and has a release date of November 25th.  Watch.  Enjoy.  Comment.

Jay Z will be doing two FREE SHOWS this weekend.  One in Detroit on Saturday and one in Miami on Sunday.  Both shows are a last stitch effort to get people registered to vote before the deadline.  That’s awesome!  We all need to make sure we are registered to vote and more importantly VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4TH 2008!  It’s one thing to get all these people registered but what about doing a free concert after Election Day for the people who actually vote.  See how many youngsters we’ll have voting then!  But good Jay, * clapping hands * good job! 

I learned from recent reports that Usher is planning a “Ladies Only” tour!  Dates are still being worked out but he plans to do 15 intimate venues.  Here’s what Usher had to say”

“There’s only a few artists that can pull that off,” said the 29-year-old singer. “I feel like I’ve had such a connection with my audience. This album, I felt like, was definitely the type of one that was more intimate. So what better way to get up close and personal than to make it all women?”

Usher wants said people are questioning whether or not he still has it…and I guess he plans on showing all the women that he definitely does.  I might have to check that out!

To prove that he still has it Usher is working on a lingerie line and men undergarments as well.  He’s also working on a video for this new single “Trading Places.”  I can’t wait for that song.  Anyone who follows me on Twitter.com knows that I am absolutely in LOVE with that song!  You know I’ll be first with the video posted!   Check for it!

You can also check Usher out on Thursday performing at the National Football League’s annual kickoff concert.
