RecorDiNgggg



Currently, we organised a recording studio and hall for after school so we can record our songs that we have produced. We currently have 5 songs. First time we did a performance we booked a room that we were going to do our performance in. Because we had booked it, we assumed that no one else was going to use it. But when we got there other people were using the room so we had to tell our audience that we couldn’t do it. This is vital to make sure that this does not happen again in the future. If this does happen in a real performance then you can have a significant loss in money and also fans. When we first set up our group, our communication skills were very poor but i knew that this was an area we all had to improve in; so when we booked the recording studio, we kept texting each other and communicating with the school if anyone else needed the room so we knew we could definitely perform in there. The recording was successful and we are currently editing the recording and about to publish it onto a cd.

COncErt reVieWs!

Vancouver

"There’s not much else you can say when you’re watching basically two and a half hours of the best rap music of the least 10 years. I rocked out pretty hard."
 
Jay Z & Kanye West 
"It’s rare that a show of this magnitude lives up to its hype, but Kanye and Jay-Z actually managed to exceed it. From the Tron-inspired laser show to the hydraulic-powered stages at either end of the ACC to the pyrotechnics, it was a visual masterpiece. And then, of course, there was the music."

Toyota Centre
"There were flames and lasers and booming basslines. But hip-hop's ultimate tag team remained front and center."

Kanye West INTERVIEW about new ALBUM!

^^^^^^Interview about New Album! ^^^^^^^^

Publicittyyy!

In 2009 there was a show called 'MVA' This was a show that gives out awards. 'Taylor Swift' was getting an award for Best Female Video category for "You Belong With Me,"Kanye didnt believe in this and decided to storm on stage and share his opinion with the world. It started with Taylor Swift saying thank you.

"Thank you so much!" Swift began. "I always dreamed about what it would be like to maybe win one of these some day, but I never actually thought it would have happened. I sing country music so thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award."
Before she could continue, West broke in. "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!" Kanye shouted to a mortified Swift and the speechless audience. And as quickly as he ran onstage — MTV cut away to show Pink applauding Taylor, and when they flashed back to Swift, West already had the mic in his hand — he was off, leaving a shocked Swift in his wake." This got everyone thinking about West, because of what happened people wouldn't forget that day and might want to find out about what kind of music he plays. Alot of people like 'beyonce' and because West stood up for her this might want people to start listening to his music. This isnt the best way of publicity but it is very good because his name will be all over the news and people will want to find out more about him.


tHisss oNEE compAredDD 2 OldEr AAlbumSs

 


Kanye also brought out another album on '10th of September 2007'. This album was called 'Graduation', The Album produced many hits in the charts and are still heard around today. The Album has a story to it this is how it is described.
 ITUNES REVIEW!
"If College Dropoutwas our introduction to an underdog and Late Registration a victory lap for a newly anointed champion, then Graduation crystallizes Kanye West's stratospheric success in 24-carat surround sound. Like the teddy bear mascot being hurtled into outer space on the album's cover, Kanye's third album pushes his reflexive rhymes and musical imagination to places only hinted at on his previous two albums.Anyone can rap about cash, but Graduation sounds likes a million bucks: "Good Life" is a layer cake of silver-gilded synths that lets the listener bask in Kanye's luxurious dream life for three vivid minutes, while the Daft Punk-sampling "Stronger" beams us into a futuristic dance party, awash in neon color and surround sound audio. Though Kanye's increasing wealth hasn't helped to curb his obsession with fashion brands and jewelry, he never stops investigating himself and his motives. "To what much is given, much is tested," he raps on the hit "Can't Tell Me Nothing," which resembles nothing else on contemporary radio. "I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny / And what I do? Act more stupidly." Kanye's egomania will always be a fully-fledged part of his persona, but even as the superstar in him looms large, the self-critical upstart of College Dropout is there checking his every move." Because the album has a story to it, i think it wants the listeners want to go into more detail about the album and if listeners go into more detail they will hear more of his songs on the album then just the ones that get into the charts. If listeners like his music they might keep an eye out or go into detail about when the next release of one of his new albums is coming out and get it, this round increase the amount of sales on the album.
