Swavor of the Week

This week's Swavor goes to the Michael Jackson tribute put on Friday night by the Ga State University chapter of MEISA. They made it a great event. There were give aways of aviators, fedoras, and white gloves. A few people walked away with DVDs too. There were performances by some of the most talented artists in the Atlanta area. Performers included The DooWoop Boys, The 54, Vinson and Level 7, Josh Bias, Perfect Dissonance and the Theatre South Atlanta Youth Ensemble, just to name a FEW. It was truly a great night that definately would've made MJ proud. Not only did they celebrate the King of Pop, but they also collected canned goods for the needy. Check out this video of few highlights of the night.

Drake Video REDO!

Sooooo, yeah I think most people hated the video for "Best I Ever Had" and if you're one of those people, then you will LOVE this. It's a spoof of course but it is hilarious!!!! Check it out

Let's Clear It Up

I want to clear the air about something. I write this blog on my own, it is in no way actually affliated with Lil Wayne or Jay-Z. I am not an assistant of either of them (although I wouldn't mind it). The email address posted on the right side of this page is the official email of this blog. It should be used to contact me directly concerning any matter dealing with the blog or even if you just want to say "wassup". It is NOT, I repeat NOT the email address of Lil Wayne or Jay-Z. I've have gotten several emails from Weezy fans who seem to be under the impression that they are actually emailing Dwayne Carter himself. The Jay-Z fans must either know its not his email address or they don't want to bother him since I've yet to recieve one from a Jay fan. Next, I do not know the email address of Lil Wayne or Jay-Z, should I ever come into the priveldge of that information I promise that I will forward the messages that have already been sent to me. However, please do not send me any fan emails thinking that I already have that info.

I think that covers all the bases for today. Til next time guys.

Jamie Foxx Drake Lloyd Wayne???

Whoa, I just saw the new video for Jamie Foxx's song "Digital Girl" ft. Drake The Dream and Kanye. I swear I've seen this video somewhere before. Hmmm....shiny girls and musicians? Oh yeah!!! Lloyd did something like that in the video for "Girls Around the World"! I just thought I'd point that out. See and compare for yourself.

The Blueprint III Track List

As we all know the third installment of the BLUEPRINT will be released on September 11th, and if I'm not mistaken that is a Friday. Usually movies are released on Fridays and albums on Tuesdays, you think Jay is trying to make a point? Anyway, the track listing has been released and it is shown below for your viewing pleasure. I see that Drake and Kid Cudi are making appearances on this project so to me that's pretty much a big deal.

Bow Wow + Cash Money = ?

So Bow Wow is signed to Cash Money now!?! What does this mean for him and the label? Well, I have no idea. I'm thinking it probably won't change much of anything for Bow since he's pretty much established as far as who he is as an artist. Sure he can grow but, if he does an image overhaul that will probably be a big fail. At any rate CONGRATS to Bow and Cash Money and hopefully the venture is succussful.

I'm Yours

I know I've been slacking on my Jay & Wayne stories but I'm back on the horse so here we go. I heard a couple of people talkin about this song by Jason Mraz and Lil Wayne and I was all excited because
1. I like Jason Mraz
2. I like Wayne
3. I love collabos

So when I learned it was the "I'm Yours" remix I was even more intrigued. Well, all my hopes for this venture were shot out of the sky immediately once I heard the song. I'm not one for bashing, but it pretty much sucks. It's like somebody got a hold of "I'm Yours" and the acapella from "Let's Make a Toast" and had at it. I'm wondering if this was signed off on by Jason and Wayne, because it's not good at all. It ruins "I'm Yours" and it ruins the memory of "Let's Make a Toast". Whoever thought that this was a good idea, guess what? You were WRONG! But I'm sure you meant well, next time how bout having both artists on the same page instead of cutting and pasting hits that they've already made because apparently two rights can make a wrong.

Swavor of the Week

I HAVE BEEN SO SLACK!! I'M SORRY FORGIVE ME PEOPLE BUT I'LL BE BACK IN FULL EFFECT SOON!

Let's start this thing off early, since I'm off schedule anyways. The Swavor for this week is an up and coming rapper by the name of Izrael. Haven't heard of him? Well, you'll be hearing alot more of him soon. He's basically got the Atlanta underground buzzing and bubbling and all that good stuff. He's got this really cool song that I personally LOVE! It's called "Glass Roof" and yeah it's kinda my jam. SO I was Youtubing and I came across this performance of him doing "Glass Roof" and I just had to put it up here. LADIES!!! This is especially for you. I know his publicist loves when he performs like this. Back to the point, he's got great lyrics and great music and you should take the time out to get to know him. Go check out his MYSPACE PAGE to hear the other songs he's got and decide for yourelf how you feel about him. Oh and follow him on twitter @Izrael
