George Lucas “Red Tails” Film (Trailer)
July 29, 2011
George Lucas is widely known for his Star Wars series of films over the years, but one of the many projects he’s had in the works over the last 23 years has been the upcoming film “Red Tails” based on the true story of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. I’m really looking forward to this film when it’s released in January of next year not only because of its historical significance, but also in how the Lucasfilm magic is employed in the special effects. The action in this trailer sequence is an indication of that at work. The movie stars Cuba Gooding Jr, Terrence Howard, Method Man, Ne-Yo, & Nate Parker and is directed by “Treme’s” Anthony Hemingway.

Jay-Z & Kanye Snub Indie Stores
July 29, 2011
Record Store Day penned a letter to Jay-Z and Kanye asking them to provide independent record stores the same opportunity to sell the Watch the Throne album as Best Buy and iTunes have. These big chains get the exclusive right to sell the album 4 days before the physical release of the album and the indie stores can’t compete with that advantage.
Best Buy has the exclusive deluxe edition of the album for 10 days before anybody else can sell it. People hoping to buy the album are made to buy the album from only these big chains and the mom and pops suffer.

Frank Ocean – Thinking About You
July 28, 2011
Not sure where this latest Frank Ocean leak will appear or if it will land on his upcoming re-release of the Nostalgia, Ultra album since there wasn’t any additional information in the email I received. Yet & still I’m really high on this kid’s music. This new track ‘Thinking Of You’ is cool & doesn’t quite hit me as much as his other material he’s released, but overall Frank Ocean keeps delivering quality R&B that moves away from some of the corny R&B that’s been permeating the radio in recent years.

Amy Winehouse Covers Latest Issue Of Vibe Magazine For Aug/Sept
July 28, 2011
Vibe Magazine wasted no time in their decision to place Amy Winehouse on the cover of their 16th Annual “Juice” issue following the soulful songstresses death. It’s expected that in the upcoming issue they will dive more in depth on the life, career, & various people in Amy Winehouse’s life. One of those people was producer Salaam Remi who had this to say in the following excerpt:
“I’m in London now. I’m out here because [Amy and I] were supposed to go to a wedding today. And before I could get to her yesterday she passed. We were going to the wedding of Nick Symansky, who is the person who really found her. He found her when he was a scout at 19. And he was the manager before they got the Universal deal.
They went ahead with the wedding. All I could do was sit there and imagine how many jokes she would have been cracking with me. We were in the middle of working on the album. She finished writing the record. We just hadn’t recorded.
For the last couple of weeks we were video chatting regularly. I was just talking to Nas. Both her and Nas were born on September 14, so we were going to Barbados with all of them for her birthday. She really doesn’t look forward to her birthday, you know what I’m saying?”

Jadakiss x Styles P – “Otis” Freestyle
July 27, 2011
Mannnnnnnn I’m having mixed feelings about Jadakiss & Styles P hopping on this Otis freestyle. It’s not that I thought they couldn’t deliver some lyrical heat over this beat, but sometimes I get tired of other rappers jumping on other artist’s beats TOO soon. So I have sort of a love/hate situation going on with the circumstances, but not with the song itself because SP The Ghost & Jada Muah do damage on this joint lyrically. AH HEEHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Studio Sessions: Rick Ross In The Studio With Alchemist (Video)
July 26, 2011
Rick Ross is proving to me to be a real student of the hip hop game in his choices of producers, beats, his ability to become a better rap artist lyrically, & some of the choices he’s made in terms of the types of artists he’s signed to his Maybach Music Group label like R&B songstress Teedra Moses. Just when I thought I couldn’t be surprised much more we find Ricky Rozay in the studio with Alchemist?! Awwwww man I’m hyped already to see what they cook up! If Ricky Rozay keeps bringing in ill producers like Alchemist I’m positive his new album ‘God Forgives, I Don’t’ will at least bang…
