Sade feat. Jay Z x Moon and the Sky (Remix)

Leave a comment

Jay Z kicked off the weekend a new website and remix to Moon and the Sky by Sade.  I’m sure everyone finds this collaboration interesting but I am far from shocked that the lovely Sade would do a project with Jay Z.  Two different genres of music collaborating is quite the trend these days.  I don’t know about you but I have to be in a “Sade” mood to really get into this, so I may revisit it later this week while I’m in deep meditation or something.  In the mean time, what do you guys think?

 

p.s. Her album “The Ultimate Collection” is set to drop May 3rd and she’s touring this summer. wooohooo!

Jay-Z Discusses the N-Word on Oprah

1 Comment

Today Jay-Z made one of his rare appearances with Oprah on her show today. I must add that he is the most sexiest-ugliest man that I can admit to. LoL anyways, Many aspects were discussed but I wanted to show you one that really hit home for me. (video Courtesy of worldhiphop.com)

I have my different views on the N-Word but I am in love with hip-hop and I feel that Oprah was being very biased by saying she doesnt support it, wait no more like a hyprocite.  Why would you invited Jay-Z onto your show and then say that you pretty much don’t support his music?  Out of pure ignorance the word “Nigga” has slipped out plenty of times in my casual conversation but I do recognize its history and significance to African-Americans. Jay makes a valid point saying

 “People give words power and we take the power out of the word”.

True. I understand where he is coming from when he says that, cause our generation today has took the power out of the word nigga and turned into something different, but I guess Oprah is like a gazillion generations down the line to understand.

What do Ya’ll think?
