Yesterday, D Dot dropped two Kanye West demos from the College Dropout era, an alternate version of “All Falls Down” and a different version of “Bring Me Down” entitled “Have It Your Way”.  You can stream both demos and read what D Dot had to say about them below.

There’s also an original version of “Bring Me Down” which is labeled “Have It Your Way”, both of these demos are believed to date back to 2001. Again with noticeably different lyrics, a more aggressive Kanye, the second verse on “Have It Your Way” – some of the lines were later used on “Whole City Behind Us”. Take a listen to the vintage Yeezy below.

Kerry Rhodes’ “Assistant” Responds To Being Called A Liar

According to Baller Alert

Kerry, yet again, took to the blogs to deny being gay and insisted that Russell “Hollywood” Simpson was lying. Even worse, it seems like some threats were being made too. Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with Hollywood, so he contacted us for yet another exclusive! Check out the statement from Kerry’s camp:

“MediaTakeOut.com just got wind that Russell ‘Hollywood’ Simpson likely EMBELLISHED on the nature of his relationship with NFL baller Kerry Rhodes. Heck – he may have FLAT OUT LIED in the numerous interviews that he gave OTHER PLACES yesterday.”

We spoke with a person “IN THE KNOW” that SWEARS that Russell and Kerry were NEVER in fact in a relationship. They also went on to say that Kerry is “taking steps” to make sure that Russell will never say the ISH he said again.”

UPDATE: 2nd Boston Bombing Suspect In Custody; Listed In Serious Condition

From CNN:

The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings was taken into custody Friday night, bringing to an end a massive manhunt in the tense Massachusetts capital worried by warnings the man was possibly armed with explosives.

After announcing the arrest on Twitter, Boston police tweeted: “CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody.”

Authorities confirmed the man in custody is 19-year-old Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who escaped an overnight shootout with police that left his older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev — the other man wanted in the bombings — dead.

The younger Tsarnaev was in serious condition, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said at a news conference. He was being treated at Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Kelly Lawman said.

Tsarnaev was cornered late Friday as he was hiding on a boat in a backyard of Watertown, a suburb of Boston.

Police were alerted to his whereabouts by a man who went outside after authorities lifted an order for residents to stay inside during the manhunt. The
resident saw blood on a boat in the backyard, Davis said. He then lifted up the tarp covering the boat and “saw a man covered with blood,” he said.

It was that call that resulted in an arrest less than a week after two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, shocking the nation and leaving a city on edge.

“There was an exchange of gunfire, and I don’t know if he was struck,” Davis said of the suspect.

Authorities, using a bullhorn, had called on the suspect to surrender: “Come out with your hands up.

Tsarnaev, according to authorities, refused to surrender.

“We used a robot to pull the tarp off the boat,” David Procopio of the Massachusetts State Police said. “We were also watching him with a thermal imaging camera in our helicopter. He was weakened by blood loss — injured last night most likely,”

Tsarnaev was taken into custody after authorities rushed the boat, Davis said.
