Illa J talks about his brother J Dilla, his family, music, and acceptance in the hip hop community… This is his segment "My Brothers Keeper." The video featured above is only part one, so stay tuned for Part 2 which is well on it’s way! I’m heading up to get another drank.
Above is Young L’s music video for the track "In Here"…. In case you don’t know who Young L is… start listening, you probably have your Vans on, but they don’t look like sneakers… Peep this cut and see what ya think… Couple more posts then I’ll get to some tracks in about an hour.
The weird thing is that I posted this post several hours ago, HMM… Above is Jay Smooth getting some dope footage of his hometown, Harlem, NY on the night that Barack Obama became president (Tuesday November 4, 2008)… He doesn’t have any words to describe how he felt inside, so give him a minute.
Above Kanye West is featured at the European MTV Awards performing his track “Love Lockdown” and after the J, you can see him performing “American Boy” along with Estelle. Check it out and be prepared for the release of Kanye’s 808’s albie coming soon.
John Legend hit up Jimmy Kimmel and performed his cool tracks "Green Light" (which is featured above) and another track "It’s Over." I’m watching some CNN News and they figure that Oprah helped Obama get 500K – 1 Million votes… Niiiiice. I think the hip-hop community got Barack some much needed support to get a lot of people motivated to actually go TO THE POLLS instead of staying home! Cool to see everyone playing their part.
XV is back with talking about "The Kid With The Green Backpack"…. This is episode #2. The album is on the way and is set to drop in early February 2009! Peep the clippery above to get an exclusive glimpse of a couple of the tracks…
Above is a clip of Ludacris talking about Barack Obama getting the victory and becoming the president this past Tuesday (November 4th 2008)…. A day that will go down in the history books. One of the best days in a super long time around here (where I live) in terms of: emotions, weather, and everyone being able to come together… Ludacris’ album "Theatre Of The Mind," is dropping REAL soon.
Kanye West held a "press conference" in Singapore for his Glow In The Dark tour. He talks about The Beatles, why he is a mainstream / popular artist, working to create a new genre of music "pop-art" (that’s what he wants it to say on iTunes "pop-art")…. He also talks about why the "melody" of songs has made him popular…. Check it out people!
