Louis Vuitton VS Kanye West

The rapper obviously broke his embargo and used the brand's materials</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;"><br /></span> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> Rapper Kanye West is getting his fans more and more confused apparently with his indecision about using Louis Vutton products in New York. We earlier reported that Kanye had asked all his fans in New York not to buy Louis Vuitton products until January 2014. But him and his fiancé, Kim Kardashian were spotted in the same New York on Wednesday night carrying suitcases with Louis Vuitton monogram.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> In his recent interview with Sway In The Morning Show on Wednesday, the rapper completely talked opposite to what he had earlier said on 92.3 NOW Radio. He said, “You can’t boycott Louis Vuitton. I wouldn’t tell nobody to boycott a brand that ain’t nobody even thinking about no more. Nobody thinking about buying no Louis Vuitton.That brand old. Nobody thinking about that brand. I wouldn’t say boycott that brand.

To his credit, he has dropped equally successful follow up singles then. ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Omotena</em>’ and the club banger ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Skibo</em>’ have helped raise his profile in the crowded pop terrain.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> But when you listen to <i style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Grace and Glory </i>the already mentioned singles are arguably the best songs on the album. Solid Star falls into the same trap many of his contemporaries have fallen into: He stacks his album with random songs that gives the album a loose and sometimes directionless feel. There is no story behind the album.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> The project starts with <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">‘Halle</em>’ which gives you hope that the album might be about something more concrete. Solid Star retraces his steps and thanks God for what he has achieved in his career so far. ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Worry Me</em>’ is another standard Nigerian pop song about a woman whose physical attributes are overwhelming. ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Anointing’</em> is a boring song even with its banging beat. There are too many repetitive lines in the song which is a hallmark of many Nigerian pop songs.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Chop Money’</em> featuring <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Xcellente</strong> is an attempt to construct a song that will appeal to the Francophone countries but the construction is not properly done as Solid Star abandons words for gibberish talk. <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">‘Zizi</em>’ is a skippable cut on the album.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> Luckily ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Omode’</em> comes in to breathe life on the album. Singing in Yoruba Solid Star shows that he has something to offer when he takes his song writing seriously. ‘Rich and Famous’ is an interesting track. Featuring <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Ikpa Udo</strong> the Calabar rapper delivers his verse in his native tongue Ibibio. ‘<i style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">No be say because dem say na me sing pass. No be say because dem say Solid handsome pass. Study hard and read your books you will pass your class because this life is just a lesson’ </i>sings Solid Star on the song. This is one of his brightest moments on the album. He just fails to seize the moment and falls back to his shortcomings.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> ‘Position’ featuring <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Timaya</strong> is basically what you should expect from a standard pop song- repetitive lines, cheesy rhyme structures placed on a beat that seems to do all the work. ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Shashiwowo’</em> featuring <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Iyanya</strong>offers something slightly better but it is nothing grand.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> By the time you get to the last third of the album you are exhausted. Probably sensing the boredom, Solid Star delivers the reggae influenced ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">I’m Sorry’</em> featuring <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Eva</strong>. This is a welcome deviation and Eva’s verse adds some needed depth. <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">‘Shepe’</em> featuring <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Olamide</strong> boosts the album a little. It seems this singer has a good thing going when he collaborates with rappers.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">‘One Nigeria’</em>, ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Money Movement’, ‘Balling’</em> and ‘<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Everyday’</em> ensure that the album ends in a less than graceful note.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> Solid Star’s album is a reflection of the state of Nigerian pop. The whole genre seems to be in a slump and sadly Solid Star’s debut contributes to it. There are bright flashes on the album but they are not enough to see that Solid Star’s first album is graceful and glorious.</div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: justify;"> Rating-2.5</div>
