KRS Sons Def Jam Label @ the VH1 Hip Hop Honors
Finally someone says what we all been thinking for a long time about Def Jam as a Label."They single handedly destroyed HIP-HOP",OK,single handedly may be a strech but they damn sure laid the "Blue Print"(no pun intended) on how to capitalize off the streets in many facets...What KRS DID say in so many words is...That Jewish Money is LOOONG.

#1 On the List of the 50 Best Nike Dunks of All Time
1. Nike Dunk Hi “Wu-Tang Clan”
YEAR OF RELEASE: 1999
• It can be argued that these are simply the original Iowa Goldenrod Dunk colorway with some Wu-Tang embroidery. Actually it doesn’t need to be argued, that’s what these are. But these Dunks take the number one spot for a few reasons. First, they are limited as crap. You can grab them at Flight Club, maybe ($5k+), but not really. At the original drop, releases were rumored at only 36 pairs (plus a few more that Nike dudes made for “sampling”). Second, they’re the Iowa colorway, which is the best of the orignal seven, and the black/yellow has all kind of power undertones behind it. Third, this was the sneaker that started regular Nike’s foray into the world of acknowledging cool. After the Wu-Tang Dunk came Pharrell’s, and then shop Dunks like UNDFTD and Kicks/HI and DQM’s Air Max 90. This was the Dunk that started the second coming of the sneakerhead, and it’s still the best of the bunch as far as we’re concerned. Wu-Tang forever.

Fan Sends an Open Letter to Tyler Perry
For the past few years Tyler Perry Movies have been the source of good ole fashioned family fun.We laugh at ourselves, or him portraying every role of ourselves and we even get to see some of our favorite actors and musicians in a role more identifiable than the ones that Hollywood cast them in.Before Madea made her debut it wasn't taboo to see a man dressed in womens clothing due to the history of film and television but It has gotten out of hand. Tyler Perry says he is "tired of doing Madea,but as long as my fans request her I will give them what they want." That sounds a bit coonish but,hey...So after a bit of research We found that a lot of peps feel the same way about the Madea character and for good reason,maybe you aren't listening to your fans Mr.Perry...

Timbaland Beaterator...This is Going to Change the Game
These Days producers look for all types of cleaver ways to make a signature sound,but doing so is not as easy as you think.Whether you have a customized kick,a sharp snare or a dirty drum pattern that sound is what sets you apart.
Timbaland and the makers of Rockstar Games for PSP have came up with a hand held game/portable beat machine that allows you to customize beats,(using Timbaland's sounds)sing and put together songs.It is scheduled to come out on 9/29/09 but the kicker is Iphone and Ipod touch are getting on board as well and are making versions of the program for those devices.peep
