The Morning Mix: Do Kanye And Justin Know We Already Walked This Way?

Did You Hear?

:: If you thought Kanye West’s evidently-for-real (no, seriously) team-up with Justin Bieber and Raekwon sounds odd, regain perspective by recalling all the other strange-but-true hip-hop collaborations from the past. Yes, Aerosmith and Run D.M.C. are on Popeater’s list. [Popeater]

:: A photo history of Mr. West at the VMAs, from his triumphant debut (a performance of “Jesus Walks”) to the Hennessy-fueled Swiftgate. [Buzzworthy]

:: Madonna is facing a lawsuit for adopting the name “Material Girl” for the fashion line she started with her daughter. Apparel maker LA triumph claims it and another company have been selling a young womens’ fashion line under that name since 1997. But gosh, what could have inspired them to use that phrase? Certainly a huge pop song. [EW Music Mix]

:: Wyclef’s longshot bid for the presidency of Haiti isn’t quite dead yet. Though the nation’s election board disqualified him, he says his lawyers are planning an appeal. [E! Online]

:: MGMT posed at Radio City Music Hall with the friendly monsters of Yo Gabba Gabba. Sadly, they didn’t perform “Art Is Everywhere,” one of the best pop numbers ever to air on the Nick Jr. show. [Just Jared]
