You probably don’t think of Kanye West as a generous person, and with good reason. His newest album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, is the sound of a relentless perfectionist realizing something massive, warped, vicious, and all-encompassing, taking only a few seconds to breathe between his bombastic and gaudy orchestral productions. Leading up to the album, he made headlines not so much for the music he’d been making but for all-caps outbursts on his blog and on Twitter and the public equivalent, outbursts like his rant over Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs.

Yet Kanye West spent several months before the realization of his Dark Twisted Fantasy releasing free music online through his GOOD Fridays series, offering teaser singles, B-sides, and other material every Friday from August through the end of January (with a few weeks missed following the album’s release). He used the service first to release a remix of the album’s first single, Power, which added new verses from Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz as well as a detour into C&C Music Factory’s “The Power” in its second half, then premiered “Monster,” “So Appalled,” “Devil in a New Dress,” and several other songs that ended up becoming part of the album.

Through this, West used the program on a few occasions to reveal what were essentially works in progress; the finished album versions of several songs ended up changed considerably from the versions that he released through GOOD Fridays, most notably the addition of Rick Ross’s verse to “Devil in a New Dress.” However, he also showed his seemingly long-absent goofball side by tackling projects such as a remix of Justin Bieber’s “Runaway Love” with Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon, and later extended something of an olive branch to critics within Dipset by featuring Cam’ron and Jim Jones on year-ender “Christmas in Harlem.”

Users who followed him on Twitter would see West writing frantically on Friday nights about how he was running late and working to get something out for the series on several occasions, and many of the tracks that didn’t become part of the new album are utterly worth hearing, such as “Chain Heavy” (which features production from Tribe Called Quest MC Q-Tip), “Lord Lord Lord” (which prompted Mos Def to announce his now being signed to GOOD Music, West‘s record label that’s had successes with Common and John Legend, among others).

Most importantly, it’s further evidence of West‘s strengths as an innovator in his field. Since GOOD Fridays started, countless producers and rappers have started similar projects: Timbaland began “Timbo Thursdays,” Swizz Beats took on “Monsta Mondays” and Wu-Tang mastermind RZA (who is featured, perhaps not incidentally, on “So Appalled”) is releasing music on “Wu Wednesdays.” However, none of these have attracted quite the momentum of excitement that Kanye has to this point. As he finishes up the series in the next several weeks and moves on to his collaborative album with Jay-Z, Watch The Throne, it’s hard not to be excited about what he’ll be doing next, outbursts and all.

Since Beyonce and Jay-Z got married, the pregnancy rumor circulates regularly from different entertainment blogs in the world. Is Beyonce Pregnant? Reports said that Beyonce and Jay-Z were expecting for a baby. Beyonce also said in an interview that she’s very willing to have a baby.

Another rumor said that Beyonce is doing good and expected to continue her work even during her pregnancy. And Jay-Z was said to be extremely happy for his first baby with her wife, Beyonce. But these reports are still considered only rumors because the couple haven’t confirmed yet the pregnancy issue in larger media.

But this time, an entertainment site confirmed that Beyonce pregnant issue was true. MediaTakeout confirmed that the world-famous couple is expecting for a baby this time.

More and more gossips are circulating on the web regarding Beyonce’s pregnancy. But still, we can’t say that they are all true. What we need to do is just to wait for Beyonce and Jay-Z to confirm whether it’s true or just another rumor circulating on the web.

More news about Beyonce’s pregnancy, soon.
