• Kanye West Simpsons Character

Check out this drawing of Kanye West “simpsonized” by Moxy Creative. The outfit of the Kanye Simpsons character resembles the suit that he wore at the 2008 MTV VMAs when he performed Love Lockdown. The suit can also be spotted on the poster from the special edition 808s & Heartbreak vinyl release designed by Kaws. In addition to Kanye, Eminem, Andre 3000, Lil’ Wayne, and many other notable Hip-Hop icons were transformed into Simpsons characters.

• We Were Once a Fairytale Short Film Reminder

Just a quick reminder that Spike Jonze’s short film We Were Once a Fairytale featuring Kanye West, will be available for purchase on iTunes today, Tuesday, September 8. The short film, which was once believed to be the music video for Kanye’s song Nightmare, first previewed at the Los Angeles Film Festival last June, and has been highly-anticipated by Kanye and Jonze fans alike.

• R.I.P. DJ AM

I previously mentioned DJ AM in a post about the Nike Air Yeezy and wanted to take this opportunity to say he will truly be missed. He will be remembered as a DJ, shoe connoisseur, and most importantly, a great human being. Rest in peace, Adam Goldstein, DJ AM.

• Spike Jonze Short Film

Back in January, we posted a picture of Kanye West and Nick Tershay on the set of a short film directed by Spike Jonze. Well now, the much-anticipated short film will be released on September 8th for all to purchase via Itunes. Originally, the short film was going to be the official music video for Kanye’s See You In My Nightmares, but apparently that has now changed. If you’re familiar with Jonze’s work, this should turn out remarkable. Add that to the fact that Kanye is extremely great with presentation and delivering a product (see his music videos and live performances), I’m certain this will not disappoint.
