Diamond Signs

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Jay-Z has always been one of my favorite artists – but the man has done far more than music. In this commercial for Rhapsody, Jay-Z stars in a commercial that recreates his many album covers – a concept that could only work with perfect execution. Needless to say, the commercial is a smash and I’m a huge fan.

Additionally, I also picked up Jay’s latest album, The Blueprint 3. The album surprised me, in a good way. There are plenty of solid tracks and his collaborations with Rhianna, Alicia Keys, Young Jeezy and others hit the mark. Take a listen!

Hot Sauce!

I saw John Legend play at the new MGM Grand at Foxwoods over the weekend. The man puts on a great show. Check out part of his closing song, “Green Light.”

Best House Band Ever

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Jimmy Fallon isn’t my favorite, but having The Roots (!!!!!) as his house band is simply crazy-go-nuts. You best believe I’ll be tuning in (OK, I’ll be recording) the first few shows.

Kanye Does It Again

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Last night on the MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West closed the show with his new single, “Love Lockdown.”

Kanye, one of my favorite artists, continues to push the boundaries of hip-hop and does so successfully. Much like his Glow in the Dark Tour, the simple lights and set design help to make for a great performance.

Kanye’s fourth studio album is due to hit the shelves this December.
