We were paying close attention to Kanye last night at the 50th Annual Grammys, and I feel almost obliged to say that I am disappointed that I didn't get a true Kanye spaz moment. How memorable was it when he has wilded out backstage at the MTV Awards this past Summer? Or when he jumped on stage that … Continue reading Watching Kanye…
50-isms
I would just like to start a list of things that 50 says because they are mildly entertaining by themselves. Today, on Super Tuesday, he said he was going to vote for Hillary. When asked why not Barack, 50 said "I think they might kill him." Watch. I think I understand the rationale behind what … Continue reading 50-isms
“Lil” or “Mama”?
I'm just sayin'. She's good as a rapper, but I'm not sure if I buy the whole 18-yr old thing.
R&B Live Photos
I went to the usual every other tuesday night industry spot, R&B Live. It was Bad Boy night, and it was hella crowded. Here are some flicks. Diddy introduced his MTB4 boys. He said it was their first New York performance. They need more practice. Here's a better shot of all of them. Please don't … Continue reading R&B Live Photos
The Camera Vs. Jay-Z
Can Jay-Z ever ever take a good picture. What is the problem? Why does he consistenly let the camera beat him out in their ongoing feud. Go here to see more of these atrocious photos.
Def Jam’s Next President?
Yes, sorry I've been gone so long. Look, it was the holidays and I had stuff to do. Speaking of which, damn Jay-Z for announcing his official resignation the day before Christmas. Shit! His news busted up my shopping schedule. In any event, now that I'm back, I did an official list of who … Continue reading Def Jam’s Next President?
Is An Artist’s Age A factor in Hip-Hop’s decline in sales?
Everyone's complaining that we're not selling records in hip-hop like we used to. Blame the internet, blame the game, blame whatever, but what about the fact that most of the music is coming from what I like to refer to as "old ass rappers." Don't get me wrong, i'm up there myself, but then again, … Continue reading Is An Artist’s Age A factor in Hip-Hop’s decline in sales?
Lil’ Wayne: From engagements to publicity, a hip-hop heavyweight spills the beans.
Hip-Hop is not dead...it's just wack as hell. As I search for things to write about, I realize that there really isn't much to say in this over-boring hip-hop climate. The only thing that I'm remotely interested in is Lil' Wayne and his over-publicized love life. Funny, when I interviewed Lauren London backstage at the Hip Hop Awards back … Continue reading Lil’ Wayne: From engagements to publicity, a hip-hop heavyweight spills the beans.
Ghostface’s “Whatever Whatever”
Hey, go to my girls' site, http://www.missinfo.tv and count how many times Ghostface says "whatever whatever" in the interview. He's doing a song-by-song tour of his album The Big Doe Rehab (what the hell does that mean? I love it.) which comes out this Tuesday. Every time he can't finish a sentence, he says "whatever whatever" … Continue reading Ghostface’s “Whatever Whatever”
Jay-Z: A Slave To The Double Entendre??
To "entendre" or not to "entendre," that is Jay-Z's question. 'Twas once a skillful clever wordsmith, whose unpredictable witty lyrics earned him praise and accolades, has become a victim of the spoken phrase with double meaning, spewing words now twisted up in the tangled web we weave. I remember when I first heard the phrase. Freshman English class. And … Continue reading Jay-Z: A Slave To The Double Entendre??
