VIDEO: KANYE WEST'S [EPIC] COACHELLA 2011 PERFORMANCE

[[Hit the jump for Part 2]]

Kanye West gave an EPIC performance at Coachella 2011.  "Power," "Jesus Walks," "Diamonds Are Forever," "Hell of A Life," "Monster," "Flashing Lights [!!!!!]," "Love Lockdown," "Homecoming," "Through the Wire," "Touch the Sky," "Gold Digger," "All of the Lights," "Stronger," "Mama," and the list of hits he performed goes on.

Youtube streamed the performance live last night, and I was hype watching it on my thirteen inch macbook; I could feel the energy that this man had on the stage BY HIMSELF at 1:30am EST last night.  Very few people can be on a huge stage alone and spread so much energy to EVERYONE watching.  I could go on all day about how great/epic/outstanding (I don't really have words to explain it actually) this was.  I don't know of any performance so far this year that can top this one; and it'll be tough for future performances to be able to top it, in my opinion.  It was a true experience––it was an artistic experience, which as Kanye West has said in the past, is what he wanted his performances to be.  Well done––as always––Mr. West (again...that's an understatement).

Bon Iver. Pusha T.

It's long, so watch it when you have time to sit through the ENTIRE thing.  Enjoy this must-see performance.

"This is the most important show to me since my mom passed." ; "This show is dedicated to you Mama." - Kanye West

I ♥ your energy Mr. West.

And a big shoutout to Videobam for providing the videos of the performance.

INTERVIEW: BIG SEAN TALKS FAME, KANYE WEST, CHRIS BROWN

Last week we saw the first part of the.Life Files interview with Big Sean where he talked about Hip-Hop fashion.  Here's another part from the interview that the.Life Files dropped a few days ago.

Check out what happenned when JD hopped in G.O.O.D. Music's latest signee Big Sean's SUV and rode around with him on a hailing New York City night. You already saw his view of hip hop fashion in preview, now see what Big Sean has to say about mixtapes being instrumental in his success, recalling how Kanye West took him "out the hood" and if he had any reservations about working with Chris Brown on his single "My Last" despite the troubles the singer has experienced. Did we mention two fans nearly get into the car during the interview....good times! Shout to Detroit! - the.Life Files

AUDIO: FONZWORTH BENTLEY FT. SLIMM CALHOUN & BACKBONE - "BUNKIN'"

INTERVIEW: BIG SEAN TALKS HIP HOP FASHION

The.LIFE files recently caught up with Big Sean in NYC while he was out and about promoting his single "My Last."

Check back soon for the full interview.

VIDEO: FONZWORTH BENTLEY - "VENICE BEACHES - THE MOVIE"

Directed by Sam Wells, here are visuals to Mr. Bentley's "Venice Beaches," which was produced by A. Goldstein.  His upcoming mixtape entitled C.O.L.O.U.R.S.  is set to drop on G.O.O.D. Friday, April the 22nd.  I'm definitely looking forward to hearing that.

Read what Fonzworth Bentley says about this video below:

Here is a day captured in time. One morning I had to take my brother to set and for the first time i ended up at the beach since i've been living in L.A. Needless to say it was gorgeous and i had some new "low end theory" style beats from this very talented producer A. Goldstein. I realized i had left my headphones and the story begins....  - Fonzworth Bentley

VIDEO: KANYE WEST x MOS DEF - BLUE NOTE JAZZ CLUB FREESTYLE

During Lupe Fiasco's show on Saturday evening at the Blue Note Jazz Club, Kanye West and Mos Def popped up to show a little love to their G.O.O.D. Music teammate.  While they were there, the two dropped off some bars off the top of the head for about 7 minutes.  Two things make this shit crazy. Ye went off the top of the head and kills his verses and it's all over smooth Dilla instrumentals. Seems like a great time.
