Hate - Jay-Z ft. Kanye

via dudestache:

“Now look here. It was a dick move by Kanye, no question — the farcical situation and meaninglessness of the award itself notwithstanding, the look on Taylor Swift’s face as he bratted out for the 15,000th time seemed to be legitimately heartbreaking. (Leno: “When did you know you were wrong?” Kanye: “As soon as I gave the mic back to her and she didn’t keep going.”) But I say “seemed to be” because it turns out that was nothing, nothing at all, compared to Kanye’s reaction when Jay Leno, Mr. Comedy At 10 O’Clock, evokes Kanye’s dead mother to shame him. Get the fuck out of here. It was the MTV Video Music Awards. Hosted by Russell Brand. Featuring Lady Gaga. The en-masse-social-media-overreaction-turned-cavalcade-of-racist-dipshits we spent all yesterday putting up with has led to this, a harmlessly petulant rapper publicly forced to give Leno another Hugh Grant moment. Terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible.”

A new clothing line inspired by Steve McQueen, via the WSJ, has my attention.

Not only did the dude dress casual and cool, but he tore down the road on a Triumph TR6. On the weekends he raced Porche’s and Ferrari’s with the likes of Andretti and several other italian badasses. He was also rumored to pack heat and stay strapped.

This guy was the real deal.

Despite not picking up his sixth US Open title, I’m still going to rep him. I am steady repping Kanye too. Keep it hood, son.

I will never forget seeing Puff Daddy and The Family back in the day. My way-too-cool-for-school dad had once again scored tickets to a concert that other parents would question his taste in, but my friends and I didn’t care. We were just psyched to escape to the city on a school night and not see just one of our current hip-hop heroes, but twelve.

Diddy did it big back in the day. I mean, Mase, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Usher, 112, Lil Kim, The Lox and Puffy? All on one tour and each armed with an album full of club bangers to school our junior high minds. It was epic.

Since then Diddy has been more of a personality than a performer, however I think his new video above signals he could be bringing a good album to the table. First off, putting Biggie verses postmortem to open the track makes sure you don’t mistake this for another “Last Night”. I watched Making His Band too and the dude took vocal lessons. He also amassed a band that can jam and play the songs off the album live a la Jay-Z to make sure you know he is a real hip-hop artist, not just a studio producer.

We shall see, Last Train to Paris, his fifth studio album comes out November 24th.
