A Few Links Before Going Back to Cali....
Reppin' the G- all day, e'ryday
Did Scott Storch (#23 on the Source mag's "Power 30" ahead of Kanye West at #27 - WTF?!) sell the same beat twice?! Peep the evidence and you tell me:
Urban Mystic feat. Stack$ – “Bounce With Me” vs. YoungBloodz “Chop Chop” (related: solid interview with YBZ's Sean Paul courtesy from them Fader boyz)
Daddy Yankee - The King of Reggaetón. (related: "Rompe" video via Video Music Box) BTW though: what the f-ck happened to Tego Calderon? That dude was running this reggaetón game until "Gasolina" came out.
The story behind the making of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl."
Info on the Pharrell/Louis Vuitton jewelry line - should this man really be allowed to design jewelry?!
Air Max iD
Souled On (Music, Art, Politics, and Life) - Scholar's my kind of people!
With the South having taken over hip hop and Miami/Florida challenging (the Bay Area) as the next region to blow, why aren't people f-cking with Dirtbag?
Chappelle on Oprah clips here.
Finally, for those rich Kitchen readers with premium cable service - support the premiere of my man Reggie's debut TV show, the barbershop documentary Cutting Edge premiering TONIGHT on Cinemax. No this is not the MTV show you've been hearing the ads for on Hot 97 recently. This is a show about a real deal barbershop up in Harlem, not a celebrity-owned spot where folks like Chris Brown and Tony Yayo just happen to drop by for shape-up's and sh-t talking. He's been working on this for several years as a side hustle and he did a great job on it. Worth peeping if you can.
I'm gonna be out of town on business for a few days so the next update won't be until Wed or Thursday. I'm DYING 'cos I haven't had time to talk about the confirmation of Scalito, the still-developing domestic spying scandal, the Iraq war, the new Downing Street memo, the Palestinian election and even some semi-recent news about the electronic voting machine debacle right here at home and a whole lot of other crazy sh-t goin' on. Stay tuned 'cos I'm gonna try to get to it all eventually, peoples....
