Samsung Galaxy Note II New York Launch Event

Kanye West's Yeezus album is due on June 18, just 8 days from now, and yet there still hasn't been an official single released to the radio. Instead, 'Ye has been content with performing his new material--on "SNL," at the Met Gala, and last night at Governors Ball in NYC, where he performed 5 songs from the album and explained why he couldn't care less about getting radio play.

'Ye began with "Black Skinhead" and "New Slaves" (the pair of tracks he debuted on "SNL" in May) before performing "On Site," "I Am God" and another unknown track, which had heavy EDM influence. He then took a few minutes to explain why there has been little promotional push behind his new album.

"We ain't drop no single to radio. We ain't got no big NBA campaign or nothing like that--Sh-- we ain't even got no cover," he told the crowd, referring to the very minimal cover art for Yeezus. "We just made some real music."

"When I listen to radio, that ain't where I wanna be no more," he added. "And honestly, at this point I can give a f--- about selling a million records, as long as I put out an album y'all can rock to all summer."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
