Remembering Left Eye.

Today marks the 8th year anniversary of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' death. This year, she would have been 39.

Left Eye was in La Ceiba, Honduras, when she died in a car accident. She, along with nine others were in the car at the time, but she was the only fatality.

On twitter, fans continually post lyrics, quotes and thoughts about the late singer/rapper. #RIPLeftEye was made into a trending topic.

I've always loved Left Eye. She was my fave of the group. Yeah, she was a little re-re, but she was different, and different is always better. She's gone but definitely not forgotten.

I was going to post the footage from the actual crash, but um, that's a bit much. So, I'll just post happy days.

Reflect:

Left Eye goes IN at the 3:06 mark


This makes me wanna watch Poetic Justice








Okay, that's enough, 'cause I can post all day! Omg, I MISS Left Eye!

Though Left Eye is gone, her legacy is not and will never be forgotten. Mass Appeal Entertainment, along with the Lopes family and Koch Entertainment will be dropping Eye- Legacy, a collection of music, art, and energy from the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.

New Mixtape | Dee-1 - I Hope They Hear Me!

Check out Rapper Dee-1's new mixtape iHopeTheyHearMe. If you copped Dee's debut album David & Goliath then you can only imagine what this is going to sound like. And the best part about this mixtape, it's FREE. So, scroll down, download it, pass it on and enjoy!

But first, check out the Press Release:

On April 21, 2010, New Orleans hip-hop artist Dee-1 will release his latest musical effort in the form of a mixtape entitled, “I Hope They Hear Me!”. Fans can download the new mixtape from www.dee1music.com this Wednesday, and Dee-1 is encouraging his fans to bootleg and burn copies in order to “share the wealth” with unfamiliar audiences. When it comes to a wealth of music, Dee-1 is living large. After the rave reviews and undeniable response to his debut album release, “David & Goliath”, Dee-1 was happy but far from complacent with his early successes. Dee-1 is hitting his loyal fan base with an array of highly anticipated new recordings, and better yet, he is making it available for free download.

While many new and old fans will be able to download the music free of charge (and share it virally), he will also be providing them with the option to “Donate” through a PayPal link on his website, allowing his most diehard fans to assign their own value to the project. This “Pay What You Will” model was made famous by Radio Head, however, it’s full potential has yet to be seen in the urban music market. According to Dee-1, the new material “makes a statement” about his position in the rap game; a position which is continually rising higher and higher, though he is still being denied the recognition he deserves.

While music critics and industry shot callers have clearly acknowledged Dee-1’s unique ability to blend lyrical content with mainstream appeal, they tend to underestimate his potential as a major driving force in the forthcoming renaissance of hip-hop music and culture. The demand for Dee-1’s brand of music is clearly there; any astute observer can see the growing indifference to typical terrestrial radio, the discontent with mediocre live performers and the hunger for new fresh sounds found throughout the underground blog sites and social networking sites.

RIP, Guru.

Sad day for HIp Hop!

Hip Hop legend Guru, 1/2 of Gang Starr, died early Monday morning. He was 43.

Guru battled cancer for a very long time and kept his illness private until recently. In February 2010, he suffered a heart attack and went into a coma. He reportedly woke up from his coma and was in recovery.

Here is a letter that Guru wrote to his fans, friends, supporters, and DJ Premier before his death:

I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options.

I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody's feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.

I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.

WTF Moment: Boy Sings/Dances To Rihanna's "Rude Boy."

So, yesterday, my little sis sent me this video and I haven't been right ever since. I don't even think I can give you a proper intro to this travesty.

Just watch:



There are so many questions going on in my head, I don't know where to begin. Like, WHERE are his parents? WHAT possessed him to make this video? WHERE are his parents?!

I'm confused with my emotions. I don't know whether to be disgusted, freaked out, or find some type of humor in this situation. Such a disgrace. Then, he had the nerve to scream out "it's barbie, b-tch!" Um...alright, for the new generation. Smh.

I'm officially tainted.

Thanks a lot, Iman! ♥

Janelle Monae Covers Honey Mag.

Janelle Monae covers the latest issue of Honey Magazine.

In the issue, she speaks on her unique style and sound, always wearing a tux, dating, and being signed to Diddy.

Has the sound of your music changed significantly?
I wouldn’t say my music has changed significantly. I’ve always been a music lover of great albums: Stevie Wonder’s Music of Mind, Innervisions, to David Bowie. It’s always been in me to pull from these inspirations and to come up with something unique and to pull from myself. I just needed time to find that, and in terms of actually putting what was in my head and mind, to see that come to fruition is a beautiful moment. It was always in me. I just had to test the water, be safe, don’t jump in, put your feet in and see how cold the water is. Now it’s time to do back flips and handstands.

What does your closet look like? Is the tux really your daily uniform?
Exactly like that. I bathe in it, I swim in it, and I could be buried in it. A tux is such a standard uniform, it’s so classy and it’s a lifestyle I enjoy. The tux keeps me balanced. I look at myself as a canvas. I don’t want to cloud myself with too many colors or I’ll go crazy. It’s an experiment I’m doing. I think I want to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Do you find time to date?
I do. I think that love is very beautiful and it’s an energy that I love having. I do date and I do have someone that I love. Someone that understands me very well and encourages me to be the best person and artist I can be. I couldn’t ask for a better android.

Were you surprised that Diddy took interest?
There was a part of me that says why wasn’t he? I don’t think he is a stupid guy at all, very smart.

Read the full interview.
