Kim Kardashian to Lend Her Questionable Vocals to Kanye West's New Album?

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

When  you think music, you don’t think Kim Kardashian. As a matter of fact, you may think Kim K now only because she’s forever linked to successful and often controversial rapper Kanye West. If we are to believe the folks over at Media Take Out (they have been right on some things), Mr. West is considering adding the vocals of his girlfriend/baby mother to his new album. Gosh, talk about true love.

Apparently, Kardashian will be warbling on the “intro or an interlude,” so we’ll probably only get a brief preview of her vocal chops-but in case you forgot, this isn’t her first time behind the mic. In 2011, she released “Jam (Turn It Up),” an abysmal track that was produced by the Dream and on Kim’s E! reality show “Kourtney and Kim Take New York.” Oddly enough, Mr. West actually joined her in the studio that day to give her some advice-way before they became a couple.

If The Dream who produced several songs on Beyonce’s ‘4’ album and made a fortune from Rihanna’s super-hit ‘Umbrella’ couldn’t eek out a decent track with Kim K, it’s hard to believe, despite his enormous talent that Kanye will be different. Stranger things have happened. Yahoo StyleCaster is convinced Kim will likely shout things like “Saint Laurent! Givenchy!” in the background – can’t say we would be surprised.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
