We don't usually do posts like this, but as one of our country's true individual beacons go to rest, we have to mourn. The "Love Bird" has provided us with exemplary service for the better part of 42 years (mind you, the better part lol).
We've had good memories and bad memories; met amazing people and downright grimmmyy people, but one thing is always sure, we always landed WITHOUT A BUMP!!!!
So we SALVTE you Air J, in the hopes we'll see you again, maybe once we've left these 'greener pastures'. (pun intended)
Air Jamaica: "Soaring to new heights!"
Here's a vid showing our last flight from Miami.
Once again, the most anticipated hip-hop album for 2010 has been pushed back, this time to June 15. Check out this excerpt from a MTV interview --
MTV NEWS: Talking to MTV News earlier in the evening, the Young Money franchise player revealed the release date for his much-anticipated debut LP, Thank Me Later: June 15.
The date isn't the only gem the "Best I Ever Had" rapper and two-time Grammy nominee dropped. He also revealed that he'll be performing a new song from his album on tour called "Fireworks."
So far, Drake has released one single from the upcoming album: "Over." "We took a trip to Jamaica, where I did a lot of work for my album," he told us on the "Over" video set last month. "There was this calm before the storm, and 'Over' represented the storm to me. It's the moment. I wanted to emerge at first from this album and just let people know 'This is how I'm coming out in the public eye. I'm ready for anything.' Then when you get the album, it's like, 'Oh, he's still human. He's still thinking the same way.' I wanted people to understand I could have lost it. 'Over' could have been my entire album. Just 'cause that's what this industry and game will do to you if you lose yourself."
Drake's Away From Home Tour goes on for the next couple of months with openers Francis and the Lights and K-os. "They're killing it right now," Drake said shortly after taking in Francis and the Lights' set on Monday.
As the trendsetters we are, we told you people over a year and a half ago that you all will be on the Drake-train too, now we bring you Big Sean from G.O.O.D. Music (Kanye's label). Big Sean has been around just about as long as Drake, but sadly he didn't sing "Best I Ever Had", so he is still relatively unknown. However, not for long as he is currently by our standards the next big artiste to be bursting on the scene.
His album, named after is first mixtape "Finally Famous", is slated for release in late 2010 and will carry many heavyweight names, including Kanye, Pharell, The-Dream and more.
With heavy backing from Kanye, it can't be too long before he is "Finally Famous".
As Diddy continues to push Cîroc brand of vodka, he went on to collab with Southern 'artiste' Waka Flocka.
Kinda funny seeing Diddy trying to act like he's up outta the trap. I guess we just gotta watch Gucci-esque, 'drug-dealin music' create its own formiddable sub-genre in Rap.
