Blue Print 3 Album cover and Rumored Track List

aajayzbp3cover

The album cover for Blue Print 3 was released today, first Jay cover ever to not feature an image of him. In my opinion the cover is sick! Also the rumored Track list has surfaced. It's still pretty early for a final tracklist to be available but it does look pretty legit. But keep in mind Hov is infamous for adding tracks up until the 25th hour.

JonesMade 006

A new movement has begun to spread throughout the nightlife scene in AZ and at the Wheel is LVMH's Quinton "Q" Ward. Ward has been spearheading the Hennessy Black Influence in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Hennessy Black is the new Ultra-Premium Cognac that is breaking Hennessy into the bottle service arena.

Q and his team have been sponsoring and hosting parties and events at all the Valley's hottest venues, including PHX, Stoudemire's, and The new W Hotel Scottsdale. The events are not going unnoticed with local and national celebrities making appearances e.g. Memphis Bleek, Fabolous, DMX, Amare Stoudemire, various NFL Players and more.

I checked out a few of the events over the 4th of July weekend while I was back out West and We definitely got it in!! If you ever in AZ check out their events, Follow Q on Twitter @CelestialQ for more details of upcoming events.

wherethewildthingsare


I loved this book as a kid, I might need to actually go out and buy it strictly for nostalgic value lol...anyways Director Spike Jonze is adapting Maurice Sendak's Children's Book into a live action motion picture. If you know Spike Jonze's work you should already know that this is gonna be crazy! Jonze has directed videos for Fat Boy Slim, The Beastie Boys, Ludacris, and Kanye West (*Remember that Flashing Lights video?!). Take a look at some of the early pictures coming from the set. The movies is expected to be released sometime this year.

Motion Picture SH#T: Ebony & Ivory

One thing I am a huge movie buff, so from time to time I will throw out some movie recommendations. I love the major studio movies but I am really into more Indie films. So today my two recs have a common theme, interracial relationships, (Its kind of funny I didn't even mean for that to happen lol). Anyways one stars Michael Rapaport who is one of my favorite actors of all time, the other stars Black Thought from The Roots, he's actually a pretty good actor but definitely one of the best MCs of all time...

Zebrahead (1992) Director- Anthony Drazan
Starring: Michael Rapaport, N'Bushe Wright, Ron Johnson

Brooklyn Babylon (2001) Director- Marc Levin
Starring: Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, Karen Goberman

Artist to watch: WALE

I got alot of good feedback about the Kid Cudi post so I wanted to come back at ya'll with another one to be on the look for. D.C.'s own Wale is another artist that started making a name for himself in 2008, and we will definitely being hearing more from him this year. His first major single Nike Boots was an underground smash and is back buzzin' again now that it has a music video to go with it (see below). Again if you have never heard of him check out one of the mixtapes you will not be sorry, cmon people I havent steered you wrong yet lol...

Male Essentials: 2009 Edition

Here is my list of essential items for 2009. These things will help you make it from point A to point B and stay fresh the whole way. I am doing my part in trying to revive a struggling economy by making purchases, are you? lol (That's what I tell myself when I buy things when I know I probably shouldn't but hey, Whatever helps me sleep at night! LOL).

1. RIM Blackberry BOLD 9000 AT&T:
This thing pretty much controls my life. I can't last a day without this thing on my hip. Def lived up to the "crackberry" term. The Bold keeps me connected even if sometimes I don't wan't to be, with internet access, a ridiculously clear screen, and 3G speeds it's hard to put the phone down.

2. Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite Keepall:
According to Esquire Magazine (which I am an avid reader), All men should have a reliable overnight bag, for those last minute trips to Vegas or Cali or you're heading out to the Hamptons for the weekend. You can't travel with the same bag you take to the gym. Step your luggage game up with Louis Vuitton's more masculine Damier Graphite Collection.

3. Hanes V-Necks:
Need I same more lol...These are a staple in my personal wardrobe. You really can't go wrong with a fresh V-neck. I probably go through several packs of these a month Lol.

4. New Apple MacBook Pro:
I was a PC loyal for a very long time, but after the many preachings of Steve Jobs I have finally been converted. This thing has way to many features to begin to mention and is light which makes it perfect for traveling.

5. Beats by Dre Headphones:

If you have seen any music video is the past 2-3 months you have more than likely seen a pair of these mug headphones designed by Doc Dre. Produced my Monster these headphones are supposed to let you hear the music the way it was orignally intended to, So every instument, sample, drum pattern, bassline is gonna be present when using these. The only drawback the steep price tag. For these I think imma need to find a hook-up at Best Buy and get that homie discount lol.
beats-headphones

5. The North Face Backpack:
Living in NYC you carry alot of random items with you (i.e. Umbrella, comfortable shoes, Change of clothes, Ipod) you get the picture. So a good backpack is key, The North Face is definitely the brand to check out when looking for a sturdy, reliable bag.

6. Nikon D40 Digital SLR Camera:
This thing just keeps poppin up on this blog huh? lol That's cause it's been on my wishlist for a minute. But I have decided to break down and finally cop, I've been wanting a digital camera, at first I was going to go with a normal point and shoot, but me being the extra-ass person I am decided to step it up and go with the SLR.

I need these!!...atleast one lol

My next major purchase is definitely gonna be a digital slr camera, I'm thinking the Nikon D40...It's a great camera and good for a novice like myself to get my paparrazi steez right. If we weren't in the midst of a financial crisis and also living in the most expensive city in the world, I might be on the Canon 5D Mark II...Full HD Movies on a digital camera...that's serious.

Bout to Blow....Pause....in '09: Kid Cudi

Cudi might be one of my favorite artist right now...He was making noize in '08 with his 10 Deep mixtape and club banger Day N Nite, but he's def gon blow up in 2009. With Kanye signing off on the Kid you can't really go wrong. Check out his website and myspace. If you haven't heard of him yet get out from under the soundproof rock.
