The Dynamics of Media






is that it can be arguably the greatest tool and the greatest enemy all at once. Which way it plays out cannot be determined with anything but hindsight. The average person is in search of their 15 minutes of fame ( cannot knock anyone for that)but you must always remember to be careful of what you ask for. You just may receive your 15 minutes and in that time span fame can turn to infamy. It has been well documented the ups and downs that have plagued Kanye in recent years. Nevertheless he is hard to overlook.

So much so that the giants such as "The Today Show" come knocking. Recently Kanye sat down wit Matt Lauer as (what Kanye intended) an opportunity to discuss growth, and promote his new outlook on everything from life to career, and I am sure- people. One person he may not have intended to talk so much about was former President George Bush and their on-running dispute over President Bush's initiative during Hurricane Katrina. As you may remember as a result of the subpar relief efforts Kanye labeled fmr Pres. Bush a races. When confronted by Matt Lauer Kanye seemed to be alot of things- some apathetic, some apologetic, but most of all IRRITATED by the strategy and questioning of Matt Lauer:




The images above represent Kanye's rant on twitter letting it be known how peeved he was.

The question I have is do you agree with my belief that Kanye wavered too much. Normally a definitive orator, Kanye seemed rattled and caught between man-ing up for what he said and trying to save face. Its one thing to admit when you may have been hasty with your opinion. But as a voice of the people, a respected voice, you can not admit to putting your foot in your mouth when you did it so effortlessly. Call a spade a spade you think?

The Epitome of.........









GRACE
STABILITY
STRENGTH
FLEXIBILITY
CLASS


Theres never enough you can say about Miss Keys, now one half of arguably the second most recognizable and powerful couples in music today (along with Swizz Beat). Sometimes Understated, but never underrated- her artistry takes a back seat to no one; her face- more than something to write about; to capture as VOGUE ITALIA did in their November issue. Check her swaggin out different styles in the manner in which you'd be hard pressed to find someone to match.

Everytime I see this young man doing his thing, I feel compelled to show my respect. As I mentioned before, hard work brings good results. The world may just have been introduced to him, but coming from where I'm from, he's been relevant for quite some time. I can take you all the way back to the Mad Ciphas public access days. All the way up to now when its U.N./Dipset...shout to the whole Harlem...But anyway I'm a let Vado introduce you to his fresh(Cant forget Young Dro, he been putting that Polo down):

You can't knock people for ding what they do. Stunna might not be the most lyrical, lets not get it confused, but his grind is second to none. Like he said in the video, started 20 years ago in the streets of New Orleans- now look. Thats a testament to having a vision and working hard. People tend to overlook how much these dudes put into business to enjoy the spoils that they do. To us its a party, to them- same, but more times than none its work. Check out Birdman with his new joint, FIRE FLAME:
