This morning’s twitter feed had something interesting in it.  I don’t follow Kanye West or Justin Bieber on twitter (at least, not until now), but I do follow Raekwon (the Chef, Wu-Tang Clan).  I’ve started to really pay attention to how powerful twitter is in connecting artists and musicians lately, and I know I’m pretty late to the party.  It seems that Bieber mentioned to Kanye, that he liked his album.  That was retweeted, by Kanye – mentioning Raekwon, and finally retweeted by the Chef himself.  It almost feels like gossip covering this, but the words all come right from the artists’ own pages on twitter:

Who knows where this will end up – I’m never one to pass up any type of music, so while I’m sure there are plenty of fans rolling their eyes out there and cringing, it can really only add more music to the world.  And even if the tracks aren’t awesome, they are all a step forward.  This would also be some great publicity for the Raekwon (and the entire Wu by association) in an even younger generation of listeners.  What are your thoughts about it?
