So After all the drama and hype of Jay-z Performing at the 2008 glastonbury festival and how the tickets didnt sell because he was a hip hop artist, Jay-z took the stage this weekend and it was a success. No doubt in my mind that it wouldnt of been. But Jay started his show doing a cover of Oasis "wonderfall". Overall it was a good show for Jay and it changed many peoples minds about him. Below is a Clip of his performance..
In OTHER Newsss related to Jay-z. Rumor has it that hes been looking into investing into the New York Yankees. As if owning Rocawear, Rocafella, 40/40 clubs, his own Vodka, and part of the Nets isnt enough. Like he said "He's a BUISNESS MAN"
As many have probally heard about the whole Max b, Jim jones beef. How Max B was droped from Byrd gang and he was the ghost writer for jimmy and on all the hooks. People are feelin like Jimmy lost somethin cuz Maax B is HOT. he brings that waviness his hooks are tight and now Byrd Gang tryna replace the man who for years was behind the pen for jimmy. This is Old but dj Lazy K. Shout out to youuuuu mama. keep doin your thing. but anyway Lazy K recently did an interview about the situation. Check it out.
NASSIRRR!!! this dude is truely inspirational and one of my FAVORITE rappers of all times. As we all know He had to change his Album title from "Nigger" which idk if i agree or dont agree with. But From the recent leakage of his songs i can expect this coming album to be GREAT. "Black President" is amazing. and OF COURSE i love "hero" cuz my girl Keri Hilson is on the track. i cant wait for "Untitled" lol to drop. below is some of the songs out. and also check out his latest mixtape "The Nigger Tape" shit is DOPE. word.
DOPEST SNEAKER OUT! bet that babbbby. lol no but what your looking at is the Han Cholo x Puma First Round-Goldie Edition. Puma Lately has been doing collboraton models. The dopest other than these ive seen is the YO ! MTV raps editon. those are sick. But this is their latest. The Artist who did these was Han Cholo who is a Jewerly designer. The feature of the shoe has a reflective gold upper and royal purple satin accents. They Carry the Jewerly theme to a whole diffent level making their nickname Goldie Han. These are limited and on retail for $300
NITENDO WII
The Wii has been a HUGE hitt. i think the console is amazing. They just recently came out with a WII fit which is insane. but the next generation of WII will be mind control. CRAZY RIGHT! For this to happen all you need is a headset which uses brainwaves to control characters and features immersing in-ear headphones. This will be the first mind controlled console on the market. CRAZY DOPE and im copin soon as it hits retailors lol.
Hot song from T.I What do u expect from him honetsly? lol Paper Trail is gonna be HOT which i cant wait for. This is a diffrent track then the other ones relaesed "Better DaY" and "No MatterWhat' was more about his life and what he was going through but its refreshing to hear somethin diffrent and of course with SWIZZy on the beat you gotta hit. a *FAV* so a must DL.
Helllo everyone. Second post YAY. inve notice ive got a ton of work left to do on here. jut little things to whwre im satisfied so bear with me cuz the end product will be DOPE!! =]
SANTOGOLD
Santogold's been slated as Kanyes West Favorite Artist. and is Also in MTVS artist Spotlight so why not be in mine! Born Santi WHite..Her Music is innoative. Creavtive. and Refreshing. The Recent Leakage of Her songs " Creator" " L.E.S Aristles" and "Shove it" Has gained her an ENORMOUS amount of attention. Her music Sounds like The Pixies. Santogolds Influence has come from Earlier 80's pop. Overall santogold is DOPE at first listen you'd think what the hell is this? But as you go on you can get lost in the lyrics and the conveying of the beat. Below is a Dope song of hers called "L.E.S Aristles"
The first overall Pick of the 2008 NBA draft was Derrick Rose. EXCITINGG I MUST SAY. Everyone who knows me knows im a HUGE bulls fan. DErrick Rose returns to his Hometown were he belongs. Hopefully rose will help out my Boy Hinrich with the duties of being a Point guard. This was the first step for Chiacgo to become respected again! BULLLSS BABY! aha.
I Love Hip Hop. From The Beats, The Culture, The Dancing, The Fashion, and the LYRICS. AS many of you have probally heard ICE- T and Soulja Boy have this on going beef which basically stemmed from the question. "How do you feel about hip hop today?" or "Where is Hip Hoptoday?". When asked the Question Ice-T went on bashing Soulja Boy saying he single handledly destroyed hiphop, to suck a dick and his music was garbage. Now i AGREE with ICE-T completely. soulja Boi to me is TRASH. thats not hiphop. Yes the kid blew up off of youtube had the whole world dancing but thats not HIPHOP. Its commericial and corny. No Lyrics what so ever. HIPHOP to me is a TRIBE CALLED QUEST, LL COOL J, DOUGIE-FRESh. CATS that took time to sit down and actually RHYME. Hiphopdx.com has said Jay-zs Verse of the Get boi remix is one of the Best verses Ever and i Agree.
"Nigga…just to get by/ nigga I sold coke/ nigga I pusha la/ carried the 4-5./ Claimed I was Ready to Die/ promised never to cry/ held it all inside/ reality was too much to take so I / kept my mind fried/ slept for most of mine/ soon as I closed my eyes…/ then I woke up behind/ thinking either I’d/ load up these nines/ or blow-up with rhymes/ so this flow of mine/ is like blow-up with lines of coke-up/ and youfolks think Hov just wrote stuff to rhyme?/ naw, I’m a poster for what happens seeing your mom/ doing five dollars worth of work just to get a dime/ so pardon my disposition/ why should I listen/ to a system that never listened to me?/ picture me working McDonald’s/ I’d rather pull a Mac on you/ Sorry Ms. Jackson, but I’m packin'."
Thats Rhyming and HIPHOP to me. Jay Tells A story. Heres some Clips of the Ongoing Beef between the Two.
Lately rock smith has been producin some DOPE stuff for dudes. Wish they had more for woman but untill then i will buy the dudes ISH. haha. rock smith Has alot of Creative Shirts One can wear and they also have dope Hoodies and Vests. You can purchase some of their clothing at Karmaloop.
This is one of My favs by them the shirt is HOT and matches Perfectly with a pair of pink and white dunks =]. Kid & Play are my inspiration i love What they did for Hip hop and all the House Partys.
HELLZ BELLZ is fucking DOPe to me and one of my favorite Lines. Its the epitomy of GIRL POWER. and Girls can be Bad Asses. This Hellz Bellz "Belle of the Brawl Jacket" is INSANE. its 70% percent acrylic and 30% wool so its DEF a cop for the fall. You can also check outsome of Hellz Bellz clothing at Karmaloop.
NIKE AIR MAX 95 (originial
One of my favorite shoes and colorways of all time. The Nike air Max 95 Orginial is amazing. The colorway shown is the yellow, grey, and black. I can remember being in 5th grade fallling in love with these. This Colorway was just relesed as a package along with Nike Court forces and Air force Ones. All with the same colorway making it a DOPE package.
Democratic Unity
obama in 08? well its lookin like it with the support of the black commnity and now Clintons out adocating with him he'll get the supprt of middle adged white woman. On Friday Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton went out a small New Hampshire Community to declare the next chapter is beating john McCaiin. Obama and clinton stood on a platform in front of thousands friday praising one another and urging party solidarity. clinton Called obama a stand up guy and Obama said "she Rocks, She Rocks". Kinda cool to see no hard feelings between the two and the Democratic party coming together instead of against one another. OBama in 08? YES WE CAN!
Heres A collabo between two dope cats. Dreams been on some tight traks already this summer which means he might jut heat up in the fall. The song provides alot of nice metaphors such as he cant stay faithful his hand's always in the cookie jar. Something im pretty sure everyone can relate to. so ENJOY.
heyyyy everyone my names stephanie this is my frist post on my bloggg or what have you. um This blog is basically gonna be about hiphop, fashion, and just Culture all in all. Ill be posting new songs, whats happeneing in the world, and whats HOT today. so its def a blog to check out and hope it BLOWS up. lol nah but hope u enjoyyyy. Ok so im an absolute sneaker FANATIC (you'll most likely be seeing alot of sneakers)
The nike Dunks have been an EXTREME hit this year and nikes dropped yet another colorway , it includes Maroon, beige, orange, and grey making the shoe overal DOPE. Their now available in nike retailors so i would def go out and cop those!
Lately Nikes Been switching up and reinovating their styles for shoes and now to the box. We all love and are use to that Orange nike box but now its diffrent.
this is the new Nike shoe box. at first glance it just looks like a regular cardbord box but if u look closer theres actually logos. The logos include Lebron james, Nike Free, airmax, and etc. Kinda cool.
THEE AIR YEEEZZYS. This is kanye west latest. The ones you are seeing now are actually the Tinker Hatfield Edition. This is Kanyes signature shoe which has produced several colorways already. The latest is the grey, white and blue. Hopefully these will hit retailers soon.
SPEAKINGGG OF KANYEE heres a dope unrealsed track of his called "Gotta POSE"
its definitley not the kanye we're use to hearing today proving it was recorded years ago. his voice is much deeper. Lyrically it sucks cuz its def not a song i'd vibe to but the beat is hard.
Shaq's Freestyle (Kobe DissSo its been on ESPN lately and even peoples aways so id figure id write about it. Ultimately the freestlye is funny but if shaq wanted to poke fun at kobe he cold of did it another way. Due to his lyrics Shaws badge was taken away. In the freestyle Shaq goes on saying Kobe couldnt do with out him, blaming his divorce on kobe, and asking him how his ass taste. lol.
“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever. That is what mc’s do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all. And by the way, don’t forget, six albums, two platinum, two gold. Anybody who knows me knows I’m a funny freestyler. Check the NBA DVD when I was wrapping about Vlade Divac during my first championship run. Please tell everybody don’t make something out of nothing.”
At The End of Every Post ill leave you with the song of the Day for ME so todays song of the day is
Common- "Announcement" f/Pharrell
of course its a neptunes beat which is DOPE as always. Common and pharrel both spit some nice verses which is refreshing because its more of teh hip hop feel and song from common prior to his other release "Universal Mind Control". Its enjoyable for Lovers of hip-hop. Still feel like Common is one of the most underrated in teh game. so with that said ENJOY! ans GOD BLESS
