Good Music:: Freeway’s ‘Free At Last’
 |
|
DOWNLOAD:: Freeway’s Free At Last So I’ve come to the conclusion that record labels don’t give a shit bout promoting a good album anymore. Freeway’s Free At Last is a perfect example of poor promoting, cause this joint is Hot from front to back. And now that Jay-z is no longer president of Def Jam, this project looks as if it will never have the shine that it deserves. Well check it out and you be the judge… |

Connect 4 with Kanye x Beyonce
 |
|
So these are some pictures of Kanye and Beyonce playing Connect 4 on NYE in Vegas. I’m glad to see that Ye is feeling better, its crazy how the simplest things can get you through tough times. Here’s what Kanye had to say about Connect 4: "When I was in Europe I would play this game for hours and hours… it helped me zone out. Everybody would get envolved… Derrick Dudley (Common’s manager) and Consequence were the best other than me… I beat Lexi… Don C beat Jay… Tony Williams beat Common… but every now and then people would speak of this legendary connect 4 champion……….. BEYONCE!!! I had 2 play her!…so last night at Jay’s new 40/40 club in Las Vegas (which is sidebar, crazy big w/ 24krt gold flooring, Black Jack tables, $500 slot machines,the biggest projection screen in the universe and the best turkey burgers I’ve ever had in my life) she beat me 9 times in a row! (and I didn’t even spaz lol) here’s a photo of the only game I won!" |

Fashion Report:: M.I.A. x Marc Jacobs
 |
|
Marc Jacobs‘ Jurgen Teller Ads have become the types of ads that actually add value to a usually advertisement intrusive print magazine. With a long list of celebrities and figures been associated through what I can imagine in this case is a genuine interest in the brand, from Sofia Coppola, Jacobs longstanding muse, to so many others, amongst which Teller has used a similar creative with the likes of Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu and more. The latest is….MIA for Marc by Marc Jacobs.
