Throwback Joint Of The Day

We are going with an odd choice for today's throwback joint. You know how most athletes want to be rappers? Well this guy was actually ok and I guess he made the right decision by sticking to b-ball. He is one of the most dominant centers in the NBA and right now is helping "The King" get his ring. This song was off his platinum album Shaq Diesel here is Shaquille O'Neal in I'm Outstanding. (Beat produced by Erick Sermon)

Digital Media

During my final semester of undergrad at The University Of North Carolina at Greensboro I took a class called Development Of Digital Media and throughout the class I came to the realization that most of the analog forms of media are being viewed as yesterday's news the further we get into the digital age. For the final project we had to build our own webpage from scratch (manually putting in HTML and CSS codes along with anything else we wanted to add) which for someone like myself who isn't savvy when it comes to the technical aspect of computer coding. After the website was done I was proud of it and knew that building your own website along with blogging, podcasting, etc is the new form of media and learning how to build your own website is the way to survive in this media concrete jungle.

Favortie Movie Soundtrack

Last wk. I asked you what was your favorite movie soundtrack of all time and so far no one has answered. So I've decided to go ahead and tell you my fav. soundtrack of all time and it is the Purple Rain soundtrack. The reason why is because when you listen to it from top to bottom the production is flawless and the music still holds up for it to be 25 yrs. old.

Throwback Joint Of The Day

One of my fav. hip hop tracks from the mid 90's. This rap group out of Philly had bangers such as Hip Hop Ride, Pass Da Mic, Iz U With Me, and Crewz Pop. They debuted around the same time Kriss Kross did and therefore didn't get the same push from their record label. This remix samples Nite and Day by Al B. Sure. Here are Da Youngsta's with I'll Make U Famous (Remix).

All I have to say about this joint was that it signaled New York's return to hip hop dominance in the mid 90's and introduced us to one of the best rappers of all time. Here is The Notorious B.I.G. (R.I.P.) in Big Poppa.

Lil Wayne

I'm sure you guys already know about Lil Wayne and him serving a yr. in jail(although they expect him to serve eight months) due to a gun charge in New York. While I respect the man for his talent as a rapper and as a brand but some of the decisions he has made away from the state or studio has been not so good in my opinion. Hopefully this time will allow him to take some self inventory and come back a better rapper/person. At the end of the day celebrities are role models whether they like it or not, it comes with the territory.

When Did Keepin' It Real Go Wrong?

That's a simple question which can be answered in many ways. This question is related to the current state of the music industry and how "real" music is being pushed into the background by music that is deemed by the powers that be as commercially viable. I think once non music people started to come into the picture that is when I think keepin' it real got pushed further down the totem pole thanks to protecting that bottom line.
