Its Futuristic!!

Today the Black Eyed Peas released a video of epic proportions..(in my opinion). "Imma Be" and "Rocking That Body" are both tracks from their multiple Grammy winning album The E.N.D. . I don't know what to say. I'm completely like "AWWWWWW..crazy" the concept is beyond amazing and super Futuristic. The Black Eyed Peas are more than a force to reckon with they are setting precedents. I cant really say anymore you're just gonna have to watch it for yourself. Oh and a quick heads up, its more of a mini movie because its over 10 minutes long but well worth the watch. The video is so good i am almost contemplating going to their concert when they come down on Saturday in Charlotte.

Ohhhh yeah i almost forgot..Fergie's verse in "Imma Be" is STUUUPPIDDDD!!! She is amazing in it. Ok enough rambling..Enjoy!!

Sewn From the Soul

Catchy title huh? I wish i came up with it myself. Its actually the title of a fashion project done by those boys Joshua "JKISSI" Kissi and Travis "Trav" Gumbs, masterminds behind the prolific blog Street Etiquette. Sewn from the Soul is a tribute to Black History Month which pays homage to transcending black Americans such as Gordon Parks, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dr. Cornel West and others through some sort of digital booklet. Below is a video of the behind the scenes footage, filmed while models and photographers were getting prepared. Its a very personable video that features a bomb spoken word from poet and one of the models Joekenneth Museau . The short project is simple yet powerful with never-ending fashion statements and clear photography. The Sewn from the Soul project can be seen here.

The boys of Street Etiquette are doing it right. They show that young black men can still be seen in a positive and stylish light. They are breaking all cultural biases while inspiring myself and others alike on style, taste and pure elegance. Street Etiquette is more than a daily obsession its a way of life. Enjoy!!

'We Are the World" (25 for Haiti)

Sooo the song and video has finally dropped for the remake of "We Are the World" 25 years later for the Haiti relief. And star power is on DECK!! To name them all would take a year (not really but you get the point)..lol. Anyway, I must admit i enjoyed the song and video as a whole but some parts made me do the *side eye*. For example, Lil Wayne..ok..Not. Jamie Foxx's Ray Charles act..Absolutely NOT!!! I mean didn't you already win your Oscar 4 years ago? *kanye shrug*. But i digress. Shout out to Justin Beiber who began the song and of course Kanye for ending it. Overall GREAT song and the collaboration of artists couldn't have been anymore diverse.

Diddy is still STUUUPPIDDDD!!!!

I'm sorry you can say what you want, call him what you want but you damn sure cant say homie wont still kill a REMIX!!! Diddy just welcomed the world with a teaser video featuring some of his verse from the Waka Flocka hit "O Lets Do It." Now i have to admit that "O Lets Do It" wasn't a song i listened to outside of the club BUT now that Diddy has graced the track i appreciate it sooo much more..lol. This song will surely be my anthem CIAA weekend. Bystanders in the QC will see me Diddy BOPPING and saying "I got my billions UP, fucking with dem white folks" hahahahahahahaha...STUPID im sorry.

Just to let you guys know before the video begins you would have to listen to Diddy sort of spazz (but in a polite way) for about one minute on how people have been stealing his swag and he wants it back. I think he has a reliable argument but i will let you be the judge..lol. Enjoy!!

"Ugly Girls Be Quiet"

Well my anticipation has ended (sort of). Wale's video for "Pretty Girls" was released yesterday via 106 & Park and i have to be honest i expected something so much more...GRAND!! Yeah that's the word i will use..grand. Don't get me wrong I'm one of Wale's biggest fans Attention Deficit stays in a heavy rotation; just ask anyone who rides in my car on a daily basis. Anyways, I expected more club, more fine ASS women and just more of everything. NONETHELESS "Pretty Girls" is and will still be one of the hottest songs of 2010 I'm already claiming that so any problem i have with the video makes up for it with the song.

Now I'm waiting to get to DC so i can rock on this song in LOVE or some other club..lol
