Legend Rakim, the infamous Roots band and a small intimate setting at the legendary Blue Note jazz lounge will forever be remembered how the Hip-Hop classic Paid In Full album was honored last night in New York City. The original god MC was a special guest of the Philadelphia band who’s been putting on a series of shows at the lower Manhattan venue.
With lines snaked around the corner from the hotspot waiting to be a part of history, Ra didn’t dissapoint his fans peforming the album in it’s entirety.
Rakim is an MC who hails from the era of hip-hop when samples were the source of most of rap music's booming sounds. Wednesday night, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the iconic and influential MC's debut album, Paid in Full, Rakim performed his seminal classic in its entirety with The Roots providing all the backing instrumentation.
Has it been TWENTY-FIVE years since this album dropped? It's been a long time...

Music Video: College Boyz - Victim Of The Ghetto
Remember Conrad from Weeds? Or Jay from 40 Year Old Virgin? Well those characters were played by Romany Malco, who before all that was a successful rapper in the group College Boyz. They had a hit in 1991, with "Victim of the Ghetto" which went to number one on the Rap charts.
This video and song got this girl a $1 million dollar record deal with Sony!

According to Miss Info, who first broke the news, overnight sensation Kreayshawn has signed on the dotted line with Sony Records for $1 Million after fielding offers from several major labels. The 21 year old Bay Area femcee blew up after her song with all the making of a chart topper "Gucci Gucci" took the Internet by storm. The video has amassed 2.3 million views in less than a month, with its infectious beat and memorable lines like "I got swag coming out my ovaries". The instant success of the rapstress, who's also directs and edits her own music videos, adds another notch in the current movement of left coast artists taking over what is dubbed "The New West".

Let me understand this; after destroying the ring Frodo joins a Hip-Hop group with Kenny Powers and The Green Hornet, and then he grows up to be Ron Burgundy?
I guess I can get with that.

Before iPods, or even CDs there were boomboxes. It's been 20 years since they disappeared from the streets, but the nostalgia they evoke is about more than stereo equipment. We've changed the way we listen to music, and to each other.

I cannot say I understand the purpose of this video other than to show how much money he has or maybe it's satirical. Who is this guy? With all this money he is still angry? Brah, you need to chill, invest your money and enjoy life. Go travel the world instead of appearing ignorant and angry towards something no one can comprehend.
And yet the smartest, greatest, kindest science and math teacher most ever had is losing their job because there's not enough money in the budget...so, so tight!
