Very cool: Dr. Dre’s going intergalactic!!
“Mixing science with hip-hop music isn’t merely a hobby of scientists and science writers with time on their hands. In an interview with VIBE magazine, hip-hop legend Dr Dre mentioned that he was thinking of an instrumental album called The Planets. “It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like. I’m gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet,” he told interviewer Jerry Barrow. “I’ve been doing this for about two years now just in my spare time so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound. It’ll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work.”
Of course, if Dre undertakes this project, he’ll be stepping up on the turf of some serious players …

Kanye West unveils artwork for ‘Power’
“Kanye West recently released this hot, George Condo-painted artwork for his next single, “Power.” The art features an Excalibur-like sword stuck through Kanye’s decapitated crown-wearing head, superimposed on a tableau of cumulus clouds and blue sky.
Early reports about the album described it as being heavily infused with ’90s boom-bap sounds, with beats from RZA, DJ Premier and Madlib. However, judging from “Power’s” sound and artwork, it would seem that West is on track to make the first hip-hop Yes record.”
Sounds hot. More @ LA Times
