Future of Hip Hop : Gilbere Forte

I have beend working on having more of my personal music faves on her so i created, Future of Hip Hop. Where every once and a while i will have a short convo with some of the up and comers in music today. I had the pleasure of attending Bamboozle 2011 and there were a lot of big names on the bill. Wiz Khalifa , Lil Wayne, Pusha T, Travie Mccoy and many more. As much as I loved all the big names there was one name that I ran across that I knew I had to check out, Gilbere Forte'. Thanks to a Good Friend (Najah) that already knew how big of a fan I am of his music. Cold Summer being one of my all time favorites (Check the first Mixtape "87 Dreams"), he is changing the perspective i was beginning to have about the future of hip hop. I am a seed stemming from listening to music like Jdilla , Jayz, Common , Mos Def and Erykah Badu. Born in Flint, Michigan he has moved around Chicago and after a few years ended up in Philly.e I cam across him last year after a friend (S/O to Yasmine) asked me if i had heard anything off his mixtape "87 Dreams" and i hadn't. Then i looked him up and come to find out there was a buzz going on about him well before i knew about him. I fell in love with the mixtape and "Cold Summer" really sold me and from there on I have been following his success.

Then he got his video for "Black Chukkas" on 106 & Park late last year

He has been touring all over, SXSW, Bamboozle and even all the way in Cali. He is an artist to watch and his recent mixtape with the legendary Don Cannon "Eyes of Veritas" is a hit!!! You can go to his site www.gilbereforte.com to download it for FREE  and see all his upcoming shows ;)

Here is the interview with me and Gilbere Forte at Bamboozle 2011 from this past weekend

500 days of Gay

I just thought this movie was one of the best movies i have seen in a while. Then my good friend Greyg (i mispelled on purpose inside joke) decided to make his own short and sweet version of the lovers tale film. He enjoys some quality time with his good buddy Collin in IKEA.It is a very cute and engaging clip, the facial expressions were very Minaj. I loved the part where they fed each other. If only they could have worn chaps, i think that would have changed the caliber of the film. So enjoy the foolishness of there Gay parody called "500 Days Of Gay"

New Era Caps + N.E.R.D. + Billionaire Boys Club = Insanity!!!

I am willing to stalk the New Era cap store until these release. Being a new comer in the hat collecting world, I like to get head wear that is either odd or unique (or both). I came across this ad about N.E.R.D. putting a collection together of Billionaire Boys Club fitted's with New Era . I love the staple of the nerd army gear but it would be awesome to have a BBC cap;-) Just saying my birthday is in 1 month ....Check out the video of them talking about the caps ;-)

Tyler The Creator is Thurnis Haley Golfing x-PERT

My main man Tyler, he has been on his Promotional grind. He has been dropping a slew of hilarious clips, that make me think pretty soon he needs to be on SNL. All the hype is for his album release coming up on May 10th. I love the fact that he sounds like pops from FRIDAY at a golf range. Tyler if your reading this, I would appreciate it if you continued to make funny clips exhibiting your multiple personalities. This is my favorite out of all the videos so far ;)

Christina Ricci the new Madonna?

When i say Madonna, I'm  not talking about the woman that we all adore for her blonde hair and religious antics (before gaga).
I mean this Madonna:

Visionary Magazine had an interesting new take on "The Classic Madonna" , Christina Ricci is adorned in all lace and sits upright like one of the many classic sculptures we see in Art History 101. Her hair is intertwined with flowers, while she wears a serious smirk. I love the simplistic Black&White concept, the picture almost looks like a painting.    BREATH-taking    

Enjoy the grace of the Grown up Christina Ricci.....

LADY DAME "dang-a-lang" Diary of a Dame coming soon

-Circus Records
 After her recent signing to Musicians Meche Korrect & Devin White's Circus Records, Rapper Lady Dame is releasing her first Buzz single "Ding.A.Lang" - The Record is a upbeat female anthem that will not be featured on her mixtape,
"Diary of A Dame" [This Summer, July 2011] But displays a fun, playful side of the MC. "Dang.A.Lang" is an older record I cut that's not representation of the Mixtape or its themes, but strictly just a glimpse of my playful side." Lady Dame stressed [with the rise of so many Rappers & Rap Acts] that her music is truly her most effective form of expression and is not just past time. "I started rapping on a whim, and realized I had the talent for it and that it was an outlet for me. This first project isn't too personal, but my first attempt at sharing with the public some of my perspectives and interpretations." The rapper's official first single, "So High" will be available on Itunes, Amazon & Additional digital music domains May 1st along with the records official Music Video.
