Shawn Corey Carter did indeed arrive on the day that Black Panther Fred Hampton was killed in his apartment by the Chicago Police and the FBI; December 4, 1969. Truly, murder to excellence! Happy 42nd, Jay!
Tip and Phar-real are currently in the process of shooting the video for their latest collaboration “Here Ye, Hear Ye”. The cut, which is the best I probably ever heard Pharrell spit, is expected to be included in the Kang’s forthcoming album set tentatively for February. One more flick inside. (more…)
Steve Jobs not only changed the face of the music business in general, he changed the heart of hip-pop culture as we know it. From Apple and the iPod, to Pixar and Toy Story, Jobs was an innovator’s innovator. He also re-defined what it meant to be a hustla for hip-hop; all the gangster rappers and millionaire/billionaire label-owners turned over their operations to him and his iTunes store. The Nino Brown of tech? Nah, just a hustla disguised as a CEO. Rest In Peace, Steve.
Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson got married on Oct. 3, 1992, and yesterday the presidential couple celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary. Congrats and many many more!
