Ye, Heartless

This album might be kindof right actually…

Kobe

thats the header video from KB24.com for this season… I likes it!!! I wonder how much it cost to use the ‘Ye?

I don’t think this is an official commercial but I still like it.

I Wanna Be A Rapper…

…or a producer, or hip hopper, or whatever we they’re calling themselves these days. Forbes compiled it annual list of the biggest earners, or Kash Kings and they call it, and its a pretty impressive list. No real newcomers this years, but its a who’s who of the rap game.  Fif, JAy, ‘Ye, Dre, Em, Pharrell and the other usuals… Its crazy to think that when I was a shorty my pops would tell me that its just temporary and no one will be listening to rap music 20 years from now… well its 15 years a few years later and “rap” music is selling everything from Kotex to Crunk. From television and movies, to computers and iphones to everything sports related, the urban music scene is up and down Madison Avenue. Trend setters, moguls of all mediums, and even philanthropy and political activism, i love it!

a little more fun too! the hip hop homes for sale, you know if you have a loose $6-15m hanging around in your couch!

Tell Jay to save some for the rest of us

Jig is almost starting to get on my nerves!!! The report is that he is about to sell half of 40/40 to the Las Vegas Sands Corp for $44m. They want to make it the biggest sports book in LV. I like it… if Jay isn’t careful he is about to start treading on that Bing Crosby territory, if you dont know, check it out, dude had dough.

… and in other news, ‘Ye will be producing most of the Blueprint 3.. Check out the first single, Jockin’ Jay Z. Love it!

‘Ye’s second run at Flashing Lights…

i like this one better actually. Quick comments, even though she is no Rita G, she still has some pretty nice lovelies. It must be nice to be a model, or a rapper, or an athlete, or an actor.

‘Ye’s New Video Flashing Lights

and here is ‘Ye’s Flashing Lights video chick. Her name is Rita G, and she got mo’ body than Karate!!! Dayum! There are a gang of more pics on her myspace, or on rita-g.com

Tour of the Year

2007 was a record year for concerts, and with shows like this coming together 2008 will probably do the same. Touring is where the money is at, so get ready to see A-L-O-T of shows like this. I can’t wait. There are no dates scheduled yet, but keep the glowinethedarktour link in your favorites and check back for info. Let’s just hope they don’t get crazy with the ticket prices.

RIP Evel

Evel Knievel dies today at the age of 69. His daredevil career began in 1965 when he formed a troupe called Evel Knievel’s Motorcycle Daredevils, a touring show in which he performed stunts such as riding through fire walls, jumping over live rattlesnakes and mountain lions and being towed at 200 mph behind dragster race cars. I can even remember watching him on the Wide World of Sports wanting my own jumpsuit and motorcycle to do crazy shit on, and apparently i wasn’t the only cat either:

I’m glad they squashed their beef and made up though:
