Video: “Just Can’t Get Enough” Black Eyed Peas

International supergroup The Black Eyed Peas have released another video for The Beginning. This one is called “Just Can’t Get Enough” and has a nice laidback vibe that I can appreciate.  The music video was filmed in Tokyo one week before the tragic earthquake.  Here’s what Fergie had to say about the experience:

“It was the easiest video I ever shot because it was us living our lives,” explains Fergie of the Ben Mor-directedvisuals. “I love that it’s showing a true perspective of how it can sometimes be lonely on the road away from our loved ones. It also demonstrates the love and connection we have with Japan. Our heart goes out to all of the Japanese people who have been affected by this natural disaster.”

Kanye West in I.D Magazine

 

Our man Kanye is featured in this month’s I.D Magazine and chatted with them about his hiatus and what he looks for in a woman.  Check the highlights:

On the qualities he looks for in a woman?
Integrity. I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m looking and trying to decide who the mother of my child will be. It’s not going to be based off a whim of being in love; she has to bring a certain level to the table. I want to be married, I want that super dope counterpart, that one woman, but she has to be super-fresh, super-smart and not overwhelmed, because being with me is gonna be a job (laughs). She can’t be overwhelmed by her career. I’ll find her, maybe I’ll be 38… maybe I’m not fully who I am yet, maybe that’s why I haven’t found her… The main quality is that you know that this person will ride or die for you. Whether she’s mad at you, whether she’s with you or not, she still loves you, she still bigs you up in any circle. She doesn’t talk down about you to other people. That’s the main thing I need.

On His Experience at Fendi
After the MTV thing. I moved to Japan for three weeks…stayed in a hotel and worked on designs just to stay out of the way of paparazzi. Then I moved to Rome and I interned at Fendi for five months. At weekends I’d take time off and go to Stockholm and meet up with Jonny from ACNE or go and see Giuseppe Zanotti in Italy and work in factories with him.
I think we can all agree that Kanye is going to need a STRONG woman on his side!
