"Reasonable Doubt" 60 Min Documentary



This will take some time to watch...but if you're a fan of this classic album, this is worth it. Take a seat Gen A.D.D....and enjoy.
***Okay, so I watched this...and the crrrazy thing is, the footage of Jay and Foxy performing "Ain't No N***a" was pulled from Video Music Box. How do I know this?? Your girl was actually at that show. While in High School my girls and I snuck off and went to check Jay at the Ark in Brooklyn. I remember this night really well, and remember waving at the Video Music Box cameraman (at an attempt to get my millisecond of cameratime) and then wacthing the footage the next week. Crazy! Memories!!...and I feel really old for that one...

Usher Video - "Trading Places"

Diddy is FRIGHTENED!



Diddy is officially a fool for this one. But I see that this is where the prospect of having Palin in office will drive you. It is a frightening thought! Did Palin really give a "Shout out" during yesterdays debate? Well doggonet...gosh darn it (slapping my knee)..I think she did. (wink, wink)

This is pretty clever...

Artists put out new music ALLLLL the time and most of the time, the approach is the same w/ boring mp3 blasts. My friend sent me this cute "cartoon" and I think its a clever approach to putting out a new single. Probably really inexpensive too.

well seeing that my only true group of friends consist of my wife & son
...I'm the one that gets asked "daddy, when you coming home?" & then when I get there, I'm the one that gets yelled @ from my wife "why do u get toothpaste on the mirror all the time?"

4. When I was growing up I was told that I couldnt______ but did it anyway.

make it doing music

5. How did you break into your industry?

By using my DJ ability to get on radio then build my show to be all over the world & create unique mixtapes with my production. By doing those things it made the right people Get Familiar with me but trust me it wasn't as easy as that just sounded.

6.Favorite part of what you do?

Being away from my family. The rest is awesome!

10. Moment when your hustle paid off was/will be when....

Wow! So many cool things have come out of my hustle from being Diddys tour DJ, to becoming the music correspondent on the E! Channel, to having a show on Eminems station on Sirius to receiving my publishing deal to writing & producing w/ Akon to syndicating my radio show worldwide,etc.etc. It would be hard to pinpoint. Everyday I wake up excited to see what awesomeness will happen next. I wrote & produced a record on Beyonces new album, 2 on Ludacris new album, I'm working on Sean Kingstons, etc. I'm very fortunate & happy. My life is awesome!


11. My family is proud of me because...

Hmmmmm, I think they would need to answer that. Wait,Let me call my mom real quick - okay, she said "because I had a goal to make it with music & never let anything or anyone get in my way from accomplishing that goal" She also said " because u always said u would be a better dad than what u had growing up & u are" (side note) she was asleep when I just called so that could just be a courtesy stock answer to hurry me off the phone.

12. Shameless plug (what do u want the world to know)
That life moves pretty fast & if u don't get involved & do what it is u really want to do with it, u might miss it! Never take people or life for granted. As far as me, you can check me out on the E! Channels Daily ten every Tues & @ the biggest party in the world, Smashtime Saturdays @ the Hard Rock hotel & casino in las Vegas in Body English EVERY Sat night & I have 2 albums coming out next year.

I'm back...Fashion Week recap

Hi everyone....been away for a sec...was kinda busy working on an award show which took up almost every ounce of my energy...but it was well worth it! It was an amazing experience to be a part of...

NOW that I'm back..where to start?? so much has happened in the last few weeks! VMA's!...Fashion Week in New York..! your girl is sooo missing NY right now...the streets are filled with fashion fab...or fab-nots! Whatever the case..its all very entertaining!
So its a little tough for me to narrow down what I like...with ALL of the shows that have taken place...but I'll just post a few shots that stood out to me...
these are outifts I'd personally rock...
there were tons of looks and so much that I loved...but here are a few for you...for those of you who arent fashion heads...I apologize..but it's Fashion Week in NY...so get with the Program!



this Indian model Lakshmi Menon was on every runway and she is frickin gorgeous...!!! here she is looking bad in this Carolina Herrera outfit...I would do this..sexy...fits in the right places..and comfortable at the same time


Diane Von Furstenberg - love her flirty, feminine yet always together looking dresses..she is perfect for the working woman who goes from day to night


more DVF


more DVF - more Lakshmi



more DVF - my favorite colors...!!


Badgley Mischka - cute..could work on some curves..not too much fabric..shows enough to be sexy , but not overdoing it, looks comfortably sexy..thats what I do...


Badgley Mischka - same for this


Anna Sui- cute, feminine with edge a little short for me though..but I like- Arlenis Sosa was another one on every runway...killing it



Zac Posen - I would wear this to an event or cocktail party...good on curves...



More Zac--too short for me...but theres Lakshmi..killin it again



more ZAC..I LOOOOVE animal print...so yeah this would be a GO for me

So Long Danity Kane...

Danity Kane as we know it is apparently over... word on the streets is that Diddy kicked Aubrey and D.Woods out of the group and that Dawn is going solo. Well, that pretty much leaves Aundrea & Shannon, and no disrespect to them, but that's NO GROUP.

Stay Tuned, I bet Diddy will do Making of the Band 5 to fill in the DK spots. Do you think Aubrey, D.Woods and Dawn will make it on their own?

Janet Jackson... and ... LL?

Word is LL Cool J is opening up for the new Janet tour... am I the only one who thinks thats NOT HOT????

JOJO? TPAIN?

Remember JoJo? Here's a Tpain cover she did.. thoughts?





cant believe it (cover) - jojo

Hairspray

I went to see Hair Spray on broadway last week and as random as it sounds Tevin Campbell is in it... here's an oldie but goodie!!



Can We Talk - Tevin Campbell

P.S Aubrey did her thing! Shout out to the star of Danity Kane LOL

Nine OH Two One OH!

Tonight was the first episode of the new 90210 and although it was a mix of cheese, corn and fluff, it definitely brought me back to my youth. I grew up on the original and cant deny that I felt a bit emotional watching the show :). Shout out to Jennie Garth who came through for a guest spot! and YEUP Brenda (Shannen Doherty was there too!)came through too. Crazy funny. Shout out to Nat and ohhh Andrea Zuckerman's daughter Hannah who announced did the news LOL.

Ok, so I haven't been posting for a few days and this is my first post but i've just been a bit uninspired!
