Edd’s MANtra: Love Lockdown

For those of you who have been keeping up with Georgia Mae’s album reviews, you know that we’ve had lots of good music released this year.

For a change.

I expect that trend to continue throughout the year. One album I’m especially intrigued by is Kanye West’s new joint, which promises to be a return to the Kanye of old. It’s no secret that I thought his last album was an unlistenable, self-absorbed piece of garbage, but before that tragedy he had always dropped gems. I contend that his debut, College Dropout, is one of the the best albums in the hip-hop history.

In recent years, he’s been known more for his antics than his music – constantly running his mouth, beating up cameramen and embarrassing little girls. Add one more antic to that list – Kanye has told his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose to shut up! From PerezHilton.com:

Sources are saying that Kanye West has signed a multi-million dollar contract with ex-girlfriend Amber Rose to “silence” her from speaking about his personal life. She reportedly agreed to never reveal any details about the rapper in return for cash. An insider says, “It’s pretty common to have ‘silence’ agreements amongst entertainers. I heard that Amber’s getting seven figures to keep her lips closed.” Hmm, we wonder why Kanye is shelling out so much to keep Amber’s mouth closed. What does he have to hide??

As typically childish as this seems, a part of me can’t blame Kanye for wanting to keep his business behind closed doors. No one knew who Amber Rose was before she started hanging around him (have we even heard her speak yet?) and it’s possible that she could start dishing dirt just to remain in the spotlight.

Don’t act like it hasn’t happened before. Superhead was simply a music industry plaything until she started yakking about the genitals of your favorite celebrities.

And the most recent example is groupie Kat Stacks, who claims to have slept with such stellar examples of manhood as Fabolous and the Young Money collective, minus Lil Wayne and Drake.

Quick – name three members of Young Money besides Lil Wayne and Drake.

Bet you can’t. So essentially, she’s bragging about sleeping with a bunch of no-name, D-list rappers. Putting “I slept with Gudda Gudda” on your resume won’t get you into Princeton.

In an age where desperate women are doing ANYTHING to get noticed, I can’t blame Kanye for wanting to watch his back. However, my real question is why these dudes continue to sleep with women they don’t trust? If Kanye thinks Amber Rose is a blabbermouth, why keep her around in the first place? I ain’t rich and I know better than that.
