Love this song. Effects in the video are quite interesting and Jazmine looks great in the video. I’m glad she’s stepping it up with the videos, because most people were disappointed in the ‘Bust Your Windows’ video. I love the diversity of the material of Jazmine’s album and hope she continues putting out singles because each one has done fairly well so far.

Def Jam’s own Chrisette Michele is back for her sophomore album. You first heard her on Nas‘Can’t Forget About You’ and Jay Z’s “Lost Ones” in ‘07. I was fortunate enough to see Chrisette perform with Musiq Soulchild last year and I loved her energy. Chrisette’s first album had a very jazzy vibe and this time around Chrisette switches things up a bit, but is still sticking to her roots. “Epiphany” is refreshing and very much different from anything on the radio. This track definitely has me anticipating her new album.

Today, our favorite producer/rapper/singer/designer/sometimes blogger and I guess skater Pharrell showed off his new Spongebob Squarepants BAPE crocs.

That’s great and all, but what I’m more concerned with is what’s in the background.

Song of the Day: Beyonce – Halo

I love this song as well as the simplicity of the video. As crazy and fun as “Sasha Fierce” is, I think I enjoy plain ol’ Beyonce (or at least the music) much more. This song doesn’t even annoy me even though it is a single. This song is peace and love.

Now typically, I’m a levis and a dress shirt/cardian type of guy but the internet is turning me onto more mature clothing. Because I don’t live a life of luxury, I can not afford half the shit which I am growing to apreciate. That won’t stop me from keeping a (fly) eye out though. For their 2009 fall line, Bottega Veneta are bringing out some especially sophisticated track jackets. I’m also loving their colors and shades. Check out MEN.Style.com for more.



New Music: Trey Songz – Blame It (Cover/Remix)

One of the best in the game right now, Trey Songz, goes for Jamie Foxx’s ‘Blame It on The Alcohol‘. Trey kills it everytime.  The rap/sing combo he does is dope, because no one does it quite as well.

By now, I’m sure everyone has gotten use to my lack of updates. Still, I apologize but now I am back. First of all, I must say that I am especially proud  and very excited to witness Barack Obama have his run as president. I believe he is an intelligent man who has good intentions to help the US correct our past mistakes. Personally, I feel like people think of Obama as some type of celebrity/superhero who will miraculously correct this shit we call our economy and make all things bad magically disappear. That is absurd. Unfortunately, things will get MUCH worse before they gets any better. Nonetheless, I have faith in him.

Michelle and Barack Obama’s first dance was something amazing as well. Not that neither of them are exceptional dancers or anything, but you can see their passion towards each other, which was quite admirable. I completely understand why Beyonce was nearly in tears while singing. She sounded beautiful and controlled as well.

Now, I am back to my regular updating. I expect much greatness from 2009 so there should be much be blog about!



Happy Birthday, Aaliyah

Would’ve been 30 years old today. I will always remember Aaliyah simply because she seems like a ginuine person and I loved her music and energy. R.I.P. Below is Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins’ remix of one of my favorite Aaliyah songs “One In A Million.”



New Music Video: B.O.B. – I’ll Be In The Sky

Atlanta’s own B.O.B. finally drops a video for ‘I’ll Be In the Sky.’ What I admire about B.O.B. most is that he is diverse and mutli-talented (he sings, raps and plays acoustic guitar.) Dude is also hilarious as as fuck. Fortunately, B.O.B. has had held our attention since ‘Haterz Everywhere’, his ‘My Name is B.O.B. mixtape last year and he hasn’t even dropped an album yet!



I’m done with this.

This shit is both devestating and overwhelming. I’m through talking about it. Watch the video above. Also, please watch this video HERE. It is worth a few minutes of your day.
