Super producer No I.D talks about working with Kanye on Blueprint 3.
"Its like 808s, but more hip hop..."
Sounds interesting. I dont know how Jay would sound on 808 type joints. Guess we'll just have to wait and see huh?

Lady GaGa is dope...sometimes it looks like she's on dope tho lol. One thing she is however, is super talented as evidenced by this video. I admit, when I heard 'Just Dance' I thought she could possibly be a one-hit wonder, but oh was I wrong.

This video is funny as hell.

Thanks to H.e.r

Here's some good news for Hip Hop...
Jadakiss's - The Last Kiss Debuted on the billboard charts at # 3 with over 134,000 units sold in the first week. Not bad at all. If you haven't copped that as yet, go get it. Now!
Also...Eminem is on the cover of the new XXL mag. The cover shots look ill. Em looks kinda crazy in them. Check out some of the pics and a few pieces of the interview. Click here for the link
Spotted this over at Billboard.
The NBA has recruited Kanye West’s latest single, "Amazing," as the musical backdrop for its 2009 playoffs campaign. Premiering today—and being released to fans online—is a new music video produced by NBA Entertainment in which memorable moments from past playoff games featuring Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and other NBA players are sequenced against the pounding beat of the West track. The 2009 NBA Playoffs tip off April 18 with games airing nationally on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, TNT and NBA TV.
Oooohh...I cant wait for the Amazing video to get released.
Its Playoff time!

This again could have been a tweet lol...
They say good friends are hard to find, so cherish the ones you do have. Saw my friend Jammi this week (wish her a safe trip back home). Haven't seen her in a while. You know someone is a real friend when even after not seeing each other or speaking for a while, when you do talk its almost like there was no time lost :). One time for good friends.
Good night all! I got work in the morning, bright and early at 8am lol.
This should be a semi-short post. Should've tweeted it instead, lol.
"Sometimes life throws you curve balls but you have to be able to readjust so that you can still hit that home run." --LMT
Simple quote from a friend, but it speaks volumes about attitude and how you perceive things. Life's tough, but it is what you make it. So why not make it the best.
This video doesn't have much to do with anything other than I think its funny as hell, and he's talking about baseball lol.
"Everytime they ask Barry Bonds a question, he just hits another home run..."
(That part starts around :54 into the video)
I asked a few of my friend's this question last night ( When life gives you lemons? )... and for some reason, everybody had some answer relating to alcohol, lol. Bunch of alchies! One response was like "get some tequila?" WoW.
On a serious note... Times may seem rough, but there is always a silver lining. The world has to be balanced at all times for it to continue, which is why there is always a bit of good along with the bad and vice versa.
So...
"When life gives you lemons, squeeze them bitches and make lemonade!"
HAHA :-) ... Yea I know, it might be a little corny, but its just a different way ( my way ) of keeping things positive. Doesn't that look refreshing as hell?

Zion I "Geek To The Beat" from Okayplayer on Vimeo.
Peeped this a few days ago. The visuals for this track are dope. Kinda trippy.
Enjoy the small moments in life with the people who are most important in your life. I'm on a journey to enjoy life, and make it the best possible each and everyday. Never settle for mediocrity.
And to quote a wise man...
"I came back from ATL feeling rejuvenated. I'm inspired to do better, and take a shot at greatness. The only thing stopping me now is me...and I'll fight me everyday to make sure that I dont get in the way of my own success, and ultimate happiness. Few will undergo this journey, but only the strong survive -- MaRi"
LOL. I promise it's not my ego talking. Who quotes themselves? How lame is that? Oh well, just call me lamo :-)
Nothing like a good laugh to fix that sad face :-( <<< :-)
Here is a new track from Asher Roth. If you don't know who he is, get from under the rock from which you have been hiding and listen up!
This song is called As I Em. It's his take on the whole being compared to Eminem issue. I'm feeling this track, and all the others that have surfaced from his upcoming LP so far.
Asleep In the Bread Aisle will be in stores April 20th. Thats right 4/20.
Here's the link - Asher Roth - As I Em
This joint has a lot of bounce to it. I cant wait to hear how the finished product sounds. I like posting videos like this to kinda show how some of your favorite songs come together. "The process is usually more fun than the result." I support it!
From RyanLeslie.com
"I picked up the talkbox the night before my SOB’s concerts. I’m still learning how to get the sound I want from it, so I’m always practicing with it in sessions. The riff I’m playing was just for fun and is only recorded in the video footage. Keri Hilson happened to be in an adjacent room and stopped in to hear what I was working on. Glad she was inspired to touch the record. Her talent is clearly evident."
Kanye West-Street Lights(SPEC) Dir:Mills Miller from MillsMillerMedia on Vimeo.
Here's a nice video for Street Lights that was made by Mills Miller. The images kinda go along with the song really well too. I support it!
The most hated man in hip hop -- Bill O'Reilly -- is at it again. He goes on the attack once again. He actually says..."{Eminem} represents the lowest form of entertainment in America. WTF??? Is he referring to hip hop? Lowest??? The most viable music genre in the world...Wow. What do you think?
I know, I know...this video is old and all. But c'mon, its Keri Hilson. Kanye ripped a new one on this track. Danja did the damn thing on the beat.
In A Perfect World IN STORES NOW...Go get it. Its worth the buy!
Not me, my homegurl said it.
This is how I know this video is the BEST ever. Was by my friend's house the other night, and the first second of the song played and all the guys said the same thing AT THE SAME TIME..."Is that the Ciara and Justin?" LOL. They didn't even like the song, but probably had the video on repeat just because of how RIDICULOUSLY sexy it is. Diane Martel did her thing on this one.
My boy told me to check this out yesterday. Glad I did. This mixtape is serious. You know how you hear about somebody, but when you check em out, you're like ehh...Not this time. Don't believe me...Diddy thought the same thing! Even the skits are dope. Dopeness all around I tell you!
Fav Tracks so far ... 9, 11, 17, 19, 21. This is just the first time I'm listening so this number will probably increase.
Here goes...
