He Blogs Too

Kanye West.

Hip hop impresario, fashion dandy and -- apparently -- a budding writer.

Mistah West has a blog on his official website that chronicles all the things he finds cool and Kanye-worthy (like this pistol picture camera), as well as pictures from his international adventures and with famous friends like Feist, N.E.R.D., Nigo from BAPE and Kim Jones from Umbro.

I initially thought his blog must be written by a weary assistant trailing him around all day, but the entries are so quick and candid, I sort of believe he might be the true blogger behind it after all.

So if you like fashion, music, product design, art and shoes, onto your RSS feed Kanye's blog goes.







I'm Lovin it: If I were to die today and wake up tomorrow, I wouldn't mind being reincarnated as a Parisian. And not just any Parisian, but French Vogue editor-in-chief -- and possibly the best stylist in the business -- Carine Roitfeld. Amy Larocca from New York Magazine did a great, great article on Roitfeld just the other day, accompanied by a two fantastic shots of Carine by Hedi Slimane (whose slim silhouettes at Dior were probably the reason for manorexic models on the runways of late).






I'm Over it: The Mos Def show last night was most definitely a disappointment. We even left before his set was up. Here's what I learned last night:

1. Don't watch a show at the Croatian Cultural Center ever again.

2. Hip hop shows are now overrun by 19 to 22 year old kids drunk on beer and oblivious to any of Mos Def's old -- and better -- songs.

3. Mos Def's handlers probably shouldn't let him smoke too much reefer before he goes on stage, because then he'll only do seven songs and dance the rest of the time.


Tracks of the Day: In homage to the Mos Def I know and love, here's Ms. Fat Booty (what K-Dizzle wanted to hear last night) and Travelling Man (what I wanted to hear last night).
