9/30 JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JIMMY FALLON SHOW LOVE TO HIP HOP



There is just something that I personally love about the Jimmy Fallon show. No, its not just the fact that The Roots are the front band. Its the fusion of Jimmy Fallon's style mixed with the The Roots that does it for me. This post is Justin Timberlake of course promoting his new movie but while doing that Jimmy makes a segway to ask Justin about his love for Hip Hop and the result is this video. I love it...Enjoy!!!

9/29 The End of an era..Taking a look back at Fat Beats



If you're an independent artist in NYC or LA you should be feeling a sharp pain in your heart!!! One of hip hop's well known stores has closed its doors "Fat Beats." I can't speak for LA but when your on W.8th Street in NYC, FAT BEATS was the place to be to buy rare remixes you cant find or the artists that aren't getting that major exposure that still have incredible music. We never personally never had our records there (political reasons) but it doesn't take away from the careers that were built there. The Mos Def's, Kweli's, Company flow or more popular the "Rawkus" movement was birthed there at fat beats. The day that it finally closed was honestly like a funeral with all the emcees from NYC  that had something to do it with that era. You will see all from DI.T.C. Rahzel and many more expressing what seems to be their condolences in this video check it out!!!

9/27 A sit down with Jay Z & Warren Buffet interview by Steve Forbes












This would probably be the last place that you will think to find Jay Z at but look at him now with Steve Forbes and Warren Buffet!!! Jay will more than likely be the first artist/businessman to become a billionaire by the year 2015. If this doesn't instill any type of hope inside of you then I don't what to tell you. There are a lot of rumors as to how Jay Z has climbed up to the stardom he has but none the less he is the one up there and the first of  any emccee or business in Hip Hop to do so. This video series here should be educational if not mind boggling. Listen close and apply to yourself...You may...You are the next one!!!

9/27 What Makes An Artist?


What Makes an Artist? starring Q-Tip, ?uestlove, Curren$y, Kid Sister from Ruby Hornet on Vimeo.

Its funny what people consider to be an artist. In this video you can relate with who you feel touches on the definition the most according to how you think. I found Quest Love's to be the most interesting on how long his music history goes!!! Aside from Quest, you will find Q Tip, Kid Sister & Currensy expressing their views on what makes an artist. Enjoy!!!

9/13 Nas Surpise show @ Ace Hotel (Q Tip on the 1's & 2's)



Man Oh Man!!! I was here the week before this surprise show celebrating my homegirl's birthday. I remember Tip mentioning it and not saying the artist and me saying "I'm there" and once that week came and I wasn't lololol. Asa and myself were speaking about it and he thought it would be Tribe Called Quest since they were rehearsing for the "Rock The Bells" dates they had ahead of them. Coming to see that it was Nas that showed up, it must have been pure pandemonium. Nas mentioned that show had been the smallest crowd he had rocked for since when he began laying his foot prints in this industry. It made him feel as if he were brand new again. I could only respond by saying "How couldn't it?" You return to your home town to nothing less than a love movement. Those Tip parties are incredible. There could be stars in there and everyone is pretty chill and people are mingling like human beings. I love it!!! let me stop and let you watch lolol Enjoy the video!!! Its so fresh!!!

9/2 Jill Scott @ Essence Music Festival





This woman right here is my FAVORITE female singer for the last 10-11yrs now. I love her style so much and to add her and I share the same birthday (Yezzir *Pharrell Voice). Where were all of you when "Who is Jill Scott" came out? That was an album that didn't have all the promotion in the world but talent alone created a word of mouth that seriously put her where she is today. To think if she didn't drop so many artists we know today wouldn't even be here. This video is the proof in the pudding I tell you!!! I don't even want to talk anymore because I want you to see this performance live from the Essence Music Festival!!! Enjoy!!!
