Kanye West Reveals Brand New Music (Acapella) For Facebook
Looks like Kanye West is trying to make a few friend requests. Yesterday, Kanye visited the Facebook offices in Palo Alto,
California and gave the computer wiz's there a few samplings from his
upcoming (tentatively titled) album, Good *ss Job. Of course,
the Facebook employees being the geniuses they are, were smart enough
to video tape his acapella performances of "Chain Heavy", "Lost In The
World", and "Mama's Boyfrined. Standing on a table, and without a microphone, Kanye West took over

Chicago rap star/actor Common will add another credit to his resume
when he stars in his first TV lead role for AMC as a freed slave in
series Hell on Wheels. According to reports, the
rapper will play the role of “Elam,” a freed slave who is heading west
to seek work building the Transcontinental Railroad. The rapper will play a black/white man attempting to find his place in the world as the fabled railroad system is built. "Common
brings a layered intensity to a very complex role," said Joel

digital content. "This part required someone who can transcend the
stereotypes of the period and bring the character to life in a truly
unique way, and he brings that. We are thrilled to have him join our
cast." The actual Transcontinental Railroad was built between

administration, behind the question of slavery in the South... (07.28.10) Props to: AllHipHop.com
