Jay-Z x Kanye West have dinner in Manhattan, NY



Kanye West dined with his big brother Jay-Z at Italian eatery Nello on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Friday (July 30). Jay kept it casual in a black T-shirt, while Kanye sported one of his designer suits and shades. Hip-hop’s Sinatra and Martin caught up and argued over whose credenza game is better.

The night didn’t end there for Kanye, who retreated to his place with some Swedish girls to play his album and watch Avatar. After having a few too many drinks, he let them get a hold of his Twitter account. “I can’t believe I let these swedish girls use my Twitter hahahahaaa,” a tipsy Yeezy wrote.

First Facebook, then Twitter, now MySpace (haha… just kidding) Rolling Stone. The promotional tour continues as Kanye stopped by Rolling Stone to played about 12 songs from his upcoming album off his laptop.

West says the vibe of his new record is positivity, acknowledging that he’s made mistakes in his life. Adding that he believes great art doesn’t have to come from dark places, he said, “I feel like [now] I can be a vessel for good will and energy.”

He played the full version of My Chain Heavy, which was anchored by an old-school beat with a spacey whistle hook. Other songs featured some of Kanye’s most adventurous and experimental music yet: heavy beats, cellos, sparse piano lines, fuzzed-out electric guitar solos, and spooky sci-fi melodies.
