Rihanna at Superbowl rehersal

I'll admit I don't like her, her music, OR her image per se' at all but I can't even front, her stylist is a fucking genius and she does have sex appeal.






But most whores tend to ALWAYS have some sort of sex appeal. So who am I kidding?

"The Carter" Documentary Trailer

Damn... They made dude look larger than life. kinda made me wanna see it. Shout out to editing and lights!! LOL

Shout out to Wacka Flocka Flame!!!

David Bowie: "The Man Who Sold The World"

Classic material!! I was in a Bowie kinda mood, so I had to let y'all know what I'm bumping....

Jay Z Covers XXL Magazine

I wonder who's writing the cover story.... Better yet, who's doing the shoot. Hopefully it'll be epic. I'm not fully sold on how good this album will be yet, but the buzz is growing heavily!!

Here are a few more tracks off the album to too on your iPod a tad earlier

Jay Z: "Venus vs Mar$"

Jay Z: "Off That" (ft. Drake)(Prod. By: Timaland)

Jay Z: "Reminder" (Prod. By: Timaland)


And It's The Real did a video commentary on "Run This Town"... HILARIOUS!!

Run This Town (Official Directors' Commentary) from jeff on Vimeo.

Jay-Z: “Run This Town” (Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West) (video)

It does NOT live up to the expectations I had for it.... But it's still a decent video, though the song itself carries most of the good impression. It kinda makes me wanna rebel though... ANARCHY!!!

The Making of Jay-Z’s “Run This Town” (feat. Kanye West & Rihanna)

I'm not sure what all of the promo and teasers are surrounding this video is all about but I swear, if this shit doesn't drop in the next few days it had better be one of his greatest videos ever!! LOL I'm just being impatient... Either way I'm still bumping the track CRAZY!!!

Blueprint 3: 09.11.09

(P.S.: Dude only made me MORE anxious with that tiny ass explanation)

Jay Z: "Feelin' It" video

Damn... I ain't even know there WAS a video to this track till I caught it on elitaste earlier... Shit fucked me ALL the way up LOL... Dude, NOBODY can NEVER say Jay Z wasn't the shit since forever!! My dude was on some flashy shit way before the classic ratings and platinum records... And the shit they rented back then- some of these things I'm sure they own nowadays though- was still mad expensive so it carries enough validity to assure that SOMEONE was pitchin' yayo. Not to mention this is one of my favorite songs off of the iconic "Reasonable Doubt".

Pics From the "Run This Town" video

All black EVERYTHING
I'm assuming this is that one broad that everybody's such a fan of..... Rihana or however you spell it.


I wonder if Amber Rose is gonna actually BE in the video, or if she's just there dressed in all black. LOL


The video should be dropping in a matter of days to a few weeks.

Jay Z & Eminem Perform "Renegade" Onstage Together

You can tell that age is catching up to them because they lack the energy to carry the impact that this had on people- they're just a little TOO cool and laiback



Regardless of the lack of energy, it was historic!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On top of that, ever since Jay noted that he "might wear black for a year straight" ("D.O.A.")- and he meant "all black everything" ("We Run This Town")- the sightings of black clothes have increased DRASTICALLY in the dead heat of summer!! Most people know that I'm not one to co-sign a heavy trend, but it's JAY-Z!! Not only do I have a bias for what the nigga does, but I co-sign almost everything he does, unless it's just ridiculously stupid. But there are PLENTY fashion designers with prestigious names (i.e.: Rogan Gregory, Karl Lagerfeld, Helmut Lang, etc.) who have gone through phases where they've stated that they've worn ONLY the color black from head to toe so Jay's head is on straight. Not to mention I think it's one of the most neutral colors that one can wear.

So here's how to get the "all black" look like Hov from what "Complex" magazine has given us. I approve.



You can catch the price details on Complex's blog.

(P.S.: All black is HELLA G!!! UGH!!)

MTV Shows

I'm pretty sold that this album will be one of my favorites of 2009, but will it reach a "classic" label? I'm not too confident in that aspect yet after Kanye Served him on "Run This Town"

Souls Of Liberty: "Up & Down" (feat. Drake)

This track is pretty dope... I fuck with it hella hard. I remember when I FIRST heard their work and I noticed potential but also the needed practice. I see them growing now.

Here's their first mixtape. Another one will be dropping soon!! Support St. Louis!!
(As I head out the crib to support local hero, Black Spade who's opening for Lupe Fiasco today)

Big Sean: "Getcha Some" video (Dir. by Hype Williams)

I dig it.... It's fly on a budget. But who you know making videos in the BAPE store?? C'mon g, Big Sean still came correct!!

And shout out to SoMe for the animations (Check Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." and Kanye West's "Good Life" videos)

Miles Davis: "So What"

Listening to the "Kind Of Blue" album changed my life FOREVER, and a lot of that album's impact on me is based off of this song. I recommend the album for ANY music lover-especially one who is not afraid to cross barriers and listen to jazz.

So What - Miles Davis




Here's even a live version for you.

Jay Z Interview w/ Tim Westwood

Jay Z spits a few bars as well as he speaks on The Game (calling him a groupie), Chris Brown & the new single with Rihanna & Kanye West entitled "Run This Town". ("Run This Town" sounds like HEAT!!!)

T.I.: "What's Yo' Name?" (ft. Pharrell)

This is one of my all-time favorite songs (and one of the top ones from Tip)!!! Fam, I was crazy young when this track dropped.... This was one of the singles off of T.I.'s debut album, "I'm Serious" alongside the self-titled lead single. Both were Neptunes productions, but this one was mad smooth and laid-back!!

This is still on my bedroom mix on my iTunes... A lot of folks got hip to T.I. after this album, but I definitely started with this one... And even back then he was saying he was "The King of the South"...

See you in a year my dude...

GQ Thinks Obama Made A Bad Style Decision

In this week's edition of Men.Style.Com's of the last week in review for men's style Obama gets first pic with a wave of the finger... LOL.... I mean hey, dude's not flawless... And he's a black man from Harvard- so one can either expect serious fly preppy style, or really bland casual style from those kinds...
