Kanye West: "All Of The Lights" f/ Kid Kudi & Rihanna (MUSIC VIDEO)

Kanye West feat. Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Kid Cudi, Elton John & More "All Of The Lights" - Rihanna Speaks On How It Came About (MP3 Included)

Kanye West's latest album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, is definitely highly anticipated. While listening to it, we think Kanye's song with Rihanna, "All of the Lights," is hot one!

In case you missed it, you can listen here:



Rihanna actually spoke on how it came about:

"[Kanye] actually played his album to me, like, three months ago, and 'All of the Lights,' that was one of my favorite songs,"

Rihanna told MTV News at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards

"So when he asked me to come up to the studio at 2 o'clock in the morning, I had to, because I loved it, I knew it was that song."

Rihanna, of course, lent her vocals to the hook of West's massive posse cut "All of the Lights," which also features contributions from (deep breath) Alicia Keys, John Legend, The-Dream, Fergie, Kid Cudi, Ryan Leslie, Charlie Wilson, Tony Williams and La Roux's Elly Jackson Elton John. You can hear Elton John in the last :45 seconds.

The track — which is featured prominently in West's "Runaway" film — leaked last week, joining a number of other tracks from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that have debuted before the album's release. In addition to the singles "Power" and "Runaway," "Devil in a New Dress" and "Monster" (both of which were featured first as G.O.O.D. Friday tracks) will also appear on Fantasy.

The album, due November 22, will feature five different covers.

A video for this song would be so dope! Let's not get our hopes up though.

Kid Cudi Arrested Again,...Would This Be Called Domestic Violence?

Kid Cudi was arrested in NYC today for felony criminal mischief and possession of a controlled substance.

Sounds like Cudi may have some girl/ relationship issues because sources say Kid took a 24-year-old woman's phone and slammed it to smithereens. He also allegedly broke the door of her apartment off its hinges.

Cops arrived and found a glass bottle of a controlled substance.

Kid Cudi Held At Gun Point By Police Just Days After Leaving Lady Gaga Tour!

As if Kid Cudi didn't have enought to deal with this month...he was held at gunpoint by police in Los Angeles Tuesday (Dec. 21), in a case of mistaken identity! (Wow) This happens just days after he left his opening slot on Lady Gaga's Monster Ball tour.

Let's rewind real quick, Cudi punched a fan in the face one week ago, which he then left the Lady Gaga tour.
His people say he left for schedule conflicts but everyone else pretty much speculates that it was definitely because he punched that fun! (Click here to get those details & hear what the fan had to say about getting punched!)

Ok so let's bring it back to what happened yesterday, Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, was in the midst of a photo shoot for NME magazine when he and his entourage were pulled over on Fairfax Avenue by police offers in search of suspected robbers.

NME reporter Emily Mackay later blogged about the incident, describing a dramatic scene that included "an angry, shaven-headed American policeman screaming, 'KEEP YOUR TWO HANDS VISIBLE' while pointing a gun at the back your head through the rear window."

According to reports, Cudi and his entourage were ordered to exit three vehicles and kneel on the ground, where they were handcuffed. Police soon released the group, however, upon realizing that they had detained the wrong party.

"Such is life, apparently, when you roll with Kid Cudi and his crew," added Mackay.

Police then ordered everyone out of the car and forced the passengers to the ground on their knees, reportedly responding to a call from a neighbor in the area saying that a group of men were looting.

Writer Emily Mackay was one of those on the scene, and according to her blog post about the incident, she, Cudi and others were handcuffed. She said that there were "10 or so armed police officers with an alarming amount of weaponry pointed in our direction as a helicopter circles overhead."

The rapper was released moments later, and the officer in charge claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. Cudi appeared "jovial" after the incident, Mackay said.

"Who knows, really, the story changed a bunch," Cudi later told NME about the ordeal. "I'm just happy to be back. I'm a free man! For that moment I was not free. I was in handcuffs. It did not feel very comfortable."

A representative for the LAPD had no comment when contacted by MTV News. Representatives for Cudi were not available as of press time. The rapper's manager, Plain Pat, tweeted about the incident, assuring fans that Cudi was not arrested.

Kid Cudi Kicked Off Lady Gaga Tour For Punching A Fan! The Victim Speaks! [VIDEO INCLUDED]

TMZ reported that Kid Cudi has been officially dropped from the Lady Gaga tour in the wake of a brutal fan-punching incident.
Sources at Interscope Records confirm the rapper is "no longer" with the tour -- but wouldn't say if the decision had anything to do with YouTube footage showing Cudi punching fans in the front row of a concert in Vancouver this past weekend.


We're told Jason Derulo, who sings "Whatcha Say," will move up from his spot as Gaga's opening act to fill Cudi's spot ... no word on who will fill-in Derulo's. (lol)

No comment from Lady Gaga's camp.

Drake, Wale & Kid Cudi Featured in GQ: Did They Kill Off "Gangsta Rap"??

Drake, Wale and Kid Cudi are featured in a year-end roundup in the latest edition of GQ, pictured in a story that claims that the three of them helped kill off hip-hop's "gangster persona." Sure, it's a bit much to expect a magazine devoted to bringing white dudes pictures of Megan Fox's lady bits to discuss what's happening in hip-hop, but the gangster persona is "dead"?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
