  July 3, 2012 – Just as Kanye West and Pusha T are basking in the adulation for their new G.O.O.D.

  July 3, 2012 – Kanye West stole the next morning's headlines at Sunday's BET Awards, going a cappella in a moment of breathtaking ambition that recalled Lil Wayne seizing the same venue to declare himself hip-hop ("and I ain't dead, I'm alive") five years earlier.

  Kanye West's 'New God Flow' Culture Jams the BET Awards

  July 2, 2012 – Don't take Kanye West's petulance for granted. When he jumps on a stage and turns a Taylor Swift victory into a muddled comment on white standards of talent and beauty, or interrupts a well-groomed live broadcast to remind everyone that "George Bush doesn't care about black people," it's big, dumb grandstanding and, in its own contrived Kanye way, speaking truth to power. …

  June 28, 2012 – Thanks to his excellent calendar-coordinating skills and a natural ability to bark out catchphrases, DJ Khaled has put together an impressive run of summer anthems in the past several years. From 2007's star-studded "We Takin' Over" to last year's Drake-and-Rick Ross showcase "I'm on One," Khaled has overseen hits that almost justify his oft-repeated claim (and title of his 2007 album) We the Best. …

  June 26, 2012 – Chicago's Chief Keef, possibly the most hyped rapper of the moment, spent the best part of his five-song New York City debut rapping while looking down at the floor. Hiding behind a pair of thick white-rimmed sunglasses with a cropped mop of short dreads, the 16-year-old MC periodically looked out to the crowd, but mostly bowed his head while shouting out his rudimentary raps. …

  Watch Kanye West and Co.'s Stark, Swervy 'Mercy' Video

  June 6, 2012 – Kanye West has unleashed the deceptively minimalist video for his recent G.O.O.D. Music single "Mercy," which seems likely to show up on his imprint's upcoming Cruel Summer compilation. As with the track itself, the visuals at first might not appear to involve anything flashy — just West with collaborators Big Sean, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz, all lurking about and looking chic in stark black-and-white. …

  Watch Kanye West Shame a Laser Pointer-Wielding Fan at Paris Show

  June 5, 2012 – Every intrepid concert-goer has decent odds of encountering that one awfully clever fan who thinks it's hilarious to spasmodically write his or her name across the backdrop with the laser pointer he or she totally stole from their boss. But at a Kanye West concert, attendees have an even better chance of watching something really awkward go down. …
