Kanye West To Release a G.O.O.D. Music Album In Spring 2012

If the G.O.O.D. Music group album is on par as Good Fridays – the album will be at least a 4/5. There’s too much talent and with Yeezy orchestrating, the group can’t mess up. They got Ye, CuDi, Common, Pusha T, Mr. Hudson, Big Sean, John Legend, Mos Def, and Teyana Taylor. They’re like the Dallas Mavericks of this rap shit! One big superstar and a whole lot of above good talent around him!

First Look: Dexter (Season 6)

#DexterBack! They saying in Miami that Dexter back! Check out the exclusive photo from Season 6 above with Dexter putting snakes or worms in a bag? And he’s got a new friend named Mos Def that’s joined him on the cast.

“That is the first mysterious kill linked to Professor Gellar that’s going to cross Dexter’s path and let him know that he’s up against a killer, the likes of which he hasn’t seen before,” exec producer Scott Buck tells EW, referencing the charismatic religious studies professor that will be played by Edward James Olmos.

A Show For The Ages: Kanye West & G.O.O.D. Music At SXSW

What do you get when you take Kanye West, Jay-Z, and the rest of Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music family and throw them in front of 2,500 fans at 3:00 AM in Austin, Texas? An epic concert.  The show was an amazing finale to yet another great year at SXSW which saw Mos Def, Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi Da Prynce, Mr. Hudson, KiD CuDi, and Kanye West run through their hits.  Miss Info has a good play-by-play breakdown of the show and VEVO (the show’s sponsor) will roll out high quality video footage on April 22nd aka Good Friday.  I know no one wants to wait a month to see the show that went down so I went ahead and posted some video footage that I found on the web after the jump.
