Sign in on Myspace, random news [bullshit mostly] is posted.
haha. PAC is still alive it said, "with photos to prove".. I almost died. Was about to entertain the thought, but i didn't give in to the temptation to read what it was about..
I think the world has gone completely crazy... In a way its funny how people can be so damn nuts.
But in a way its pretty scary how flippin nuts we ALL are...
What is really going on.. People dying from a "pig flu".. they're still poppin' off in the middle east...babies still dying in the mother land...
people getting murdered over craigslist... mothers killin babies in palmdale...our president is black!! puff daddy is still rappin..
well this is how i feel, if theres a hell were ALL going.... so get ready. lol.
random convo:
jennyb: hey jonny! what would be the one thing you would do if you knew the world was ending tomorrow?
I love this guy. His dj sets on KCRW are so... educational in a way.
He makes you excited for music... Music still lives when Garth is on deck.
Been to a few of his live sets also, and I must say that I am in love. [great about cali]
The first time i heard J*davey on the radio was on his show about 2 or so years ago, I had heard them thru files online but never on the radio. It doesn't get any better then that.
This rather controversial artwork of the leaked photo of a bruised and battered Rihanna by L.A. based [Warhol knock off] pop artist Sham Ibrahimhas been causing quite a stir.
Rihanna gets her ass beat, "Chris Brown a Bitch" is a phrase [the whole world will be using in place of ass-beating] now come the opportunists. Life is grand aint it!?!?
To the average BET watcher this video is probably AMAZING!
Okay lets break it down.
The helicopter shots of Hawaii, are amazing no matter how you look at them.. [hype or not] Mary had the same amazing shots in like 97.
Keyshia Cole even surprised me with her video Heaven Sent. [clap clap] Rock the boat... and the list could go on..
But Yeezey.... man this is the only song i like from the album and that's what he did with the video?? is he bored???
is he putting things out cause he has to? wasting millions on a dumb concept?
Badu can drop an album with one video and still sell a million.
oh wait, i know.. hype had his hand in this didn't he? it looks like a hype video. i think Kayne shouldn't of been in jungle lip singing.. the shots of him on the boat looking crazy and mad rich were better then whole video.
awe kayne how i love to hate thee. you are a problem that will never ever be solved..
Lady Gaga.. oh wow. this chick. its kind of hard to get away from her voice and that crazy Blondie wig.
Over all I must say that I'm not mad at her for whatever it is that she is doing.
She does remind me of an old friend. Like the way they look, talk and all that oversexed business.
At least in her videos she looks like she is trying to put on a good show. Its pop music I know, which means i should be in for a damn good show.
Trying to keep up with choreography, being nasty like she knows she really is. She has that loud early 90's dance feel to her voice, and i like it.
Don't know if I'd buy an album, but I would for sure be making it to the dance floor in a club if her song was being played. And i kinda wanna party with this chick....
so.. ive seen this group in magazines for months and months..
i must say these ladies[individually] have a pretty impressive resume from what i remember...
but what do we really think? im gonna go with a PASS right now until is see more with out the super hype.. i just feel so much more could of been done with some pretty talented women..
But once again big business always wins... urrrrah N-E-X-T!!
ugh why does lil wayne have to be in EVERYTHING!!! are there no more rappers out there that want to get on a track with some hot chicks? i mean damn, is this all mainstream hip-hop has left that lil troll nigga?
This group appeared in my mail box yesterday from a good guy over at Unit One...
Neon Indian = a guy and a girl who make music via correspondence. One in Brooklyn, one in Austin..
nostalgia-laced, psychedelic "dream-wave"..
trust me you'll like it.. first time i went to the site, they only had about 200 & something friends on myspace..
Mind you I had this hair cut about 2 or more years ago. and I'm not gonna lie i was inspired by Kelis to do mine/shock value is always great. But after about 8 months of it, i moved on.
Now I'm totally bald. Its not because Brittany did, or because Amber Rose is rockin' it...
I just don't give a fuck anymore. lol.
And like I told my cousin last year, 2009 is the year people are going to look at Jenny and say this girl really doesn't give a fuck!
but!!!! to all you tag-a-longs trying to stand out for the wrong reasons, we can sense a chick who is trying to hard. and I think Cassie is trying waaaaaaaay too hard.
Falling into the class with Rhianna? I think so. WACK What's up with these chicks???
HipHopDX: So just to get it out of the way, can you address the recent scandal where you were allegedly sending an impostor to perform in your mask at DOOM concerts?
DOOM: [Laughs] Alright. Here's how I look at it, because the wording in there is kinda funny. "Impostor." Impostor would imply that the character. I liken it to this: I'm a director as well as a writer. I choose different characters, I choose their direction and where I want to put them. So who I choose to put as the character is up to me. The character that I hired, he got paid for it. There's no impostor.
DX: But the fans are presumably going to see you, as that character.
DOOM: That's what they're coming to see? Me? As the character? When I go to a show, I'm going to hear the music. I'm not going to see no particular person. I'm going to hear the music, if I can't see the motherfucker... I might be blind. Any cats that are coming to see me as a physical person, I can switch the [actor] any time. I'm not gonna play the part of that character every time. Like how [actors] changed through the Batman series, where it was George Clooney & it switched like five [other actors].
People need to think outside of the box, Hip Hop is not just what you expect it to be. This is a growing genre, it's a creative field. So when you come to a DOOM show, I'm letting all the cats know now, come to hear the show and come to hear the music. To see me? Y'all don't even know who I am! There are certain times I did shows and shit, I took a year off, and I went back to doing the character. I couldn't find nobody to do the character so last minute I said, "Fuck it, I'll do it." Came back, did the show, lost a little weight. You know, I'm trimming down, watching my diet. I come back, do the show, sound was excellent. But as soon as I get off the stage, they're saying it wasn't me. Alright, it's never me. I'm the writer. It's a show. That's where it's getting twisted in Hip Hop. It's all visual. People want to go see the guy with the big chain who's bragging about all these cars that he has. That's where it gets twisted. This is music. Technology makes it possible for me to still do music and not have to be any particular place. I'm using all that. I'm using every aspect at my disposal to project my creative thoughts. Either people gonna get it or they not. But I'll tell you one thing, if you're coming to a DOOM show, don't expect to see me, expect to hear me or hear the music that I present. And it's gonna be a unique experience every time. So that's all I have to say about that.
DX: About the DOOM character, I was always struck by how he started off as a very serious, sort of broken man on Operation Doomsday and has since evolved to become more jokey, more cartoony. Is that something you’ve done consciously?
DOOM: Yeah, [on] Operation: Doomsday, the way I presented it was as an introduction from the character from an outside point of view. Way outside. Okay, there's this guy that everybody is calling the super villain. You hardly know anything about him, so you're hearing things, and you gradually get introduced to him through what he puts out as propaganda, what he shows outwardly. Then gradually the [MM]...Food record comes around and at that point you're kinda familiar with the dictatorship side of the character, more serious like, the take-over-the-game conqueror aspect of him. Then you get to the, "Oh, he's not such a bad guy, they call him the villain but, now we get to know him and he seems cool. What's so villainous about this guy?" Right? So with this record, the third installment in the trilogy, there's even a closer, more candid [look]. You already know him. He's your man now, so you don't call him MF DOOM every time, you call him DOOM now. That's the reason for [the name change]. You get into the mind of the character like that's your homeboy. It's almost like from the outside how people can be perceived as being villainous or bad or evil, you know. When you're looking at one thing from a certain perspective it could seem like anything.
The look book for plastic city is here.. and i have to say this is the best DP look book I have seen.
The whole get up is super dope.
I heart these chicks, not only are about making a statement with quality work, but they're always on a mission/grind to educate...
Can't be mad at that!
DIME PIECE DESIGNS LOOK BOOK
So i have begun my daily reads...
I came across an article talking about Spike Jonez and Mr. Kayne West are teaming up again for a short film...
Well Well Well..
From what they said:
The filming concluded in January and is still in the editing process. The pair collaborated on the "Flashing Lights" video and who knows what the ingenious producer and quirky director has created now.
Editors note that it will run about 10-15 minutes and length and "See You In My Nightmares" from West latest album 808's and Heartbreaks is featured in the film. The fact that no one is getting paid and it was all done in fun should makes fans even more interested in the final project.
Meanwhile, as previously reported Jonze has recruited the likes of Arcades Fires and YEAH YEAH YEAHS for his soundtrack of his next film Where The Wild Things Are..
To be real I can't wait to see what all this is going to look and sound like..
this nigga.. lol
