Jay Z: Death of Autotune

When Jay Z speaks, everyone in the world listens. Last week I was thumbing through my twitter and almost instantly Jay Z jumped to the top of the trending topics. Now, usually something crazy happens like the Swine Flu or my boy Ray and his "men hating" topics get up there quick! I was hoping that Beyonce wasn't pregnant or that they split because ya'll know I pray nothing but the best for my blood sister Beyonce (side eye). Now anyways, Jay Z released a song titled, "Death of Autotune" and this ridiculous track slays all artists who use it, and without effort.

I was in a debate with @chasencashe and another producer over whether the Jay would be as iconic as he has become if B.I.G. or Tupac were still alive. While that's a hard question to answer, one thing is definitely clear, if Jay Z says it's hot, it's hot. If he says it's not, it's not. If autotune goes away what will Weezy, T-Pain, and my boy Drake do?! Hmm, I guess we'll just wait to see!

Hip Hop & Fashion: The Takeover

For years, African American's have dominated pop-culture in every area. Sports, music, television, and now fashion, WE dominate what the world watches, listens to, and wears.

Kanye West has recently launched his own line of shoes with the internationally known Louis Vuitton, setting the path for many more to 'cross over.' Although I personally don't connect Kanye to Louis Vuitton, I guess he does create a buzz when it comes to all things hot. You can wear them too for a little over $900.


Today I chatted real brief with on Twitter with "American Boy" singer Estelle who notified the internet world of her the new Dolce and Gabanna Bag titled, Red Estelle Bag. Estelle's music is about as hot as this red leather patent leather tote. Dolce and Gabanna has always been my choice of a good accessorie, shoe, or sunglass. The clothes are hot too if you're a european size 0 (and I ain't nowhere near that). I definitely think that all black folks who can afford fine clothing and accessories should rush out and buy them. Rappers and singers aren't the only people who can wear these materials, they just insipire and open the door for all of us to rock what's hot! Big ups to both Estelle and Kanye West. Oh, and you can buy the bag for around $840.
