Different Kitchen at Low Bar TONIGHT | The latest Def Jam jumpoffs | The Source vs. Eminem (again) | New Mos Def
The newest chapter in The Source vs. Eminem. (New York Times)
Dame Dash buys Pro-Keds and wants to create a digital music service? If he's as successful distributing this sneaker company as he's been with Armadale vodka company, that means they'll probably disappear from any store you can buy them in right now. Seriously, I've never seen that vodka in any bar or club I've been to since he bought the company like two or three years ago now. The only place I ever see it is in Rocafella music videos.

Now that LA's runnning the show, what's Def Jam got up its sleeve?:
- New Shyne and Fox Brown (Win Hi | Lo | Real: Hi courtesy Def Jam)
- Anyone feeling the new LL single "Headsprung" (b/w "Feel the Beat")? ( Win: Hi | Lo | Real: Hi courtesy Def Jam)
- Or how about Beanie Mac's Bon Jovi-sampling "Wanted (on the Run)"? (Real: hi | lo | Win: hi courtesy Rocafella)
Not on Def Jam but I'm definitely loving Mos Def's "The Edge" though. (mp3 link via Sandbox)
And congrats to Phylicia Rashad on becoming the first black woman to win the best actress prize at the Tony awards for her role in "A Raisin in the Sun." (MSNBC.com)
Finally, Different Kitchen, the party tonight at Low Bar. See the flyer above or click here for more details. Come through and represent because talking about music and life on blogs is not (all of) real life.
