NEW MUSIC: STAR TRAK’S TEYANA TAYLOR

Teyana Taylor

I’m really feeling this girl’s style. You probably remember her from MTV’s My Super Sweet 16. Producer Pharrell Williams threw Teyana a lavish skateboard-themed party in celebration of her signing to Star Trak Records (and yes, her birthday). Since then, Teyana has constantly been in the studio. Here are two recent tracks posted on her Myspace:

Listen: Teyana Taylor- “Traffic Stop” (Snippet)

Listen: Teyana Taylor- “Google Me” (Full) (Produced by Jazze Pha)

That first track is dope–I can’t knock this girl’s hustle.

Post your comments. Is she going to be a hit?



IN THE STUDIO: Kanye Makes A Dope Beat

Just found this on Youtube… it looks like the footage is from a few years ago, but even so, I figured you all might enjoy this. This serves as a reminder to all of us as to why we put up with Kanye’s ego. He’s just that good.



New Video: Chingy Feat. Amerie- “Fly Like Me”

I’m not too big of a fan of this song; it’s very mediocre to me. Chingy’s lyrics don’t really stand out, and the Amerie hook sounds like any other mainstream R&B chorus. The song’s about the same-old “I’ve been around the world, seen a lot of people, but you’re the best…” The video is dope though. Peep it below.

Shout outs to Dustin for posting this one up.



Would you want your Sevens made from Lee Denim?

Sevens vs. Lee’s

You know what we hate? When you buy the hottest jeans, shoes, bag, sunglasses, shirt, belt, whatever, only to see someone else with it……and find out they got it on sale. Such a buzzkill.

Want to know what’s worse? The fact that most fashion brands are owned by parent companies. This makes sense, as the parent company provides fianancial stability, so that the brand can afford to take risks with designs and expand into other lines (fragrance, diffusion, home, children’s). There are millions of other reasons why this works, but we’ll save those for Management 100.
What gets annoying is that many of these brands are produced with the same material and equipment as the other brands in their parent company. So if you buy a pair of Seven for All Mankind jeans, would you be happy if you found out the denim was actually a slightly nicer version of Lee’s? Both Seven and Lee jeans are owned by the same parent company, VF Corp. Although we aren’t sure that they use the same denim, the thought that we are really getting Lee at Seven pricing is understandably irritating.

How about more high end designer brands? Some Bottega Veneta woven belts cost a whopping $540 dollars, whereas sibling company YSL sells belts from $395. While this price difference isn’t huge, we’d like to believe that when we pay for BV, we’re getting BV and not YSL styled differently. The “Made in Italy” heat stamps on Bottega belts do look suspiciously like those on YSL and Gucci belts….not surprising, considering all three are owned by French luxury conglomerate PPR.

Or how about Diesel? Would you feel comfortable paying $745 for a pair of Dsquared2 jeans that were made with Diesel materials? Granted, the styles may be different, but isn’t the whole point that you pay for quality and style? So if we’re shelling out a month’s rent for a pair of jeans (which, by the way, we would never do; $745 for denim is obscene), we would expect Dsquared2 to be styled differently and made better.

What do you think? Would you rock a Valentino shirt if it was produced in a Hugo Boss factory?



R.I.P. DR. DONDA WEST

Kanye West and Donda West

It was recently reported by radio personality Miss Info that Dr. Donda West, the acclaimed author, professor, and mother of Kanye West, passed away unexpectedly Saturday night, November 10th. Kanye is currently en route to Los Angeles to join his family in mourning the death of his mother.

We at KilledThat.com express our deepest condolences for the West family. It is evident that Kanye and his mother were best friends, and we respect the family’s privacy.

KT editor Andrew Silberstein sat down with Ms. West earlier this year during Kanye’s album release party in New York. These supportive words are the epitome of her unlimited love and respect for her son.

To describe her son’s latest album, Graduation, Dr. Donda West stated:

“I think it’s Kanye’s best work. I don’t know anything that’s more real than Graduation. It definitely supercedes College Dropout and Late Registration. He [’Ye] really brought it this time, and you don’t have to be his mother to agree.”

Rest in peace, Dr. West. You will be missed.



NEW MUSIC: CASSIDY FT. ANGIE STONE- “LEANIN’ ON THE LORD”

Cassidy

Here’s a beautifully produced track off Cassidy’s new album, B.A.R.S., out this Tuesday. The song is called “Leanin’ On The Lord” and features Angie Stone. It’s a sad tale about a woman learning the hard way to follow God, and ultimately Cassidy’s anecdote about getting locked up. See for yourself…
