HAPPY BIRTHDAY BASQUIAT!!!

He would've been 48 years old... R.I.P.

(And now... A brief bio via wikipedia...)

Jean-Michel Basquiat (December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist. He gained popularity first as a graffiti artist in New York City, and then as a successful 1980s-era Neo-expressionist artist. Basquiat's paintings continue to influence modern day artists and command high prices.

My heart melted when I saw this....

In September, Legacy Recordings released To Be Free: The Nina Simone Story, a three-cd + dvd collection spanning the legendary singer's career, from her debut on Little Girl Blue to her final recordings on A Single Woman. The dvd makes available for the first time a 1970 documentary of Simone, which is excerpted in the video above.

If you love me.. I'll be getting that documentary from you... It's only $30 on Amazon LOL

Young Jeezy "Who Dat" video

This is pretty much my favorite video on the album... Shawty Red came hard on the beat and Jeezy came super hard on the lyrics and hook... One of my personal fave songs of 2008... ATL STAND UP!!!

I may give this a shot...

If you're reading this you have probably wondered in the past "How do I break into the lucrative and stable career field of music journalism?" Well, one answer is payola directly to the Online Editor, the other is to intern. As you can see in the video above, starring our one-time intern Sam Hockley-Smith, being our slave helper has its benefits, least of which is potential employment, as Sam can tell you because he is now our Associate Online Editor. The FADER Magazine and TheFADER.com are both seeking interns for the Spring 2009 semester, so if you think you've got what it takes, please email callforinterns@thefader.com with "Spring Intern 2009" and your preference of print or web in the subject line, along with a letter of interest or resumé in the body.

CONGRATS CONSEQUENCE!!!

Who knew these old guys were so funny??

In my fair city of St. Louis, MO, we call this "joaning" or "flaming" (the latter derived from the art of "roasting" someone... Typically done at a formal event delivered as a speech).... But the old school cats call it "the dozens" among others... Either way... this is funny as SHIT!! LOL

Drake

Pay attention: GET FAMILIAR WITH DRAKE!!!! I'm considering doing regular posts of some of my favorite tracks by him or at least him featured on them..... Know your shit!! Cause I sure as hell do!!

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has directed a high-budget 10-minute short film to pay homage to French fashion pioneer Coco Chanel. This glamorous silent film has premiered last week in Paris at the Le Ranelagh theater. Edita Vilkeviciute will portray the young Coco from 1913, when the legendary designer first set up shop. Along with Vilkeviciute, the film will feature model Brad Koenig, Lady Amanda Harlech and the actual workers from the Chanel atelier used as actors to keep the authenticity to the visuals. The mini-film was shot in two days outside of a Paris movie studio.

Musiq Soulchild- "DeserveUMore"

This is exactly why I'm a fan

The Dream- "Rockin' That Thang"

Shout out to you big bro

Kanye West Interview

FAM!!! I must say.... This dude's interviews are so FUCKING INSANE!!! This is how i became a fan of him.... Hova's little brother is STILL a voice to be heard. Whether you like his latest album or not!!

I must say I love this song

I slipped on the opportunity to hear it before Mercy did LOL but give this shit a listen.... it's pretty damn refreshing... and I dig the hook like CRAZY!!!

Common ft. Kanye West- Punch Drunk Love

DRIZZY DRAKE I SEE YOU!!!!!

Every few years comes a new cat in the game that only folks that's hip fuck with.... and push him... But MUTHAFUCKAS DON'T LISTEN!!!!!!!! Drake is that guy for right now....

This is arguably my FAVORITE beat on Kanye West's "808's and Heartbreak" album (which should be on ALL Christmas wishlists!!), and my guy Drake pretty much snatched the track from Ye'.... Mercy disagrees with me but I feel like Drake did a better job on the track than Yeezy did....

Check it out yourself

And just for kicks.... Here's my dude Trey/ Drake's musical BFF with his version!!
