Video: Pusha Signs To G.O.O.D Music?

2010-07-15T19:37:00.004-04:00

MTV Shows

When MTV asked, Pusha's explain that date’s significance:

“A great day for music, but it’s a ‘good’ day,” he said, slyly repeating the word. “I mean, you know. I been to Hawaii. Hawaii is a nice place. Good music is made down there, ya know. So, yeah, I was there. I can’t say too much about that. I think everybody’s gonna be in for a big surprise. A very big surprise.”

G.O.O.D move in my opinion, that's just what he might need. On the other hand, there might be too many of his style of artists already on the label. Interesting to see how this will play out. EGHCK!

R.I.P George Steinbrenner

Being a New York Yankee fan, this means a lot. He built the Yankees from the ground-up and there will be no one like him. He was the sole reason who the New York Yankees are today. The New York Times reports,

"George Steinbrenner, who bought a declining Yankees team in 1973, promised to stay out of its daily affairs and then, in an often tumultuous reign, placed his formidable stamp on 7 World Series championship teams, 11 pennant winners and a sporting world powerhouse valued at perhaps $1.6 billion, died Tuesday morning at a hospital in Tampa, Fla., where he lived. He was 80."

TBB TV SEASON 1 / EPISODE 1: I AM CURT@!N$ from The Buther's Block on Vimeo.

Curtains is an extremely talented artist who Kanye West dubbed a “fashion genius”. His choice of garb might lead you to believe that his music should sound a certain way but don’t be fooled by his penchant for being dapper. His compositions are as diverse as his taste for fashion. Curtains delivers aggressive and insightful lyrics with a message entangled in wordplay that will have your ear to the speaker trying to catch every curve ball thrown. In this piece Dope Boy discusses how his fashion sensibilities have landed him in a unnecessary rap category and why he doesn’t believe in being labeled.

Seven making “The Flying V,” the intro of XV’s Vizzy Zone mixtape.

The process of making this beat seems long and tiring;, but Seven is determined and I'm excited to hear the finished product. Reportedly, the single is to drop tomorrow.

Sports: And The Winner Is.....

2010-07-01T08:51:00.004-04:00

Ok, so today is the day that the NBA starts it's free agency. NBA Superstars like LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, Amar'e Stodumaire, Chris Bosh and Joe Johnson. Now they can begin searching for new contracts meaning big money and bigger bidding wars for these players. I'm interested to see where the players end up. The New York Knicks are in need of a savior and at least one of these guys can help them out in that department. In my opinion, it looks like wherever LBJ goes, some other big name will follow leading to many great things for that team. I feel D Wade will stay in Miami but he'll need help. Most likely C. Bosh or C. Boozer will end up there too. LBJ might stay put but that's hard to believe when there aren't any guys to help achieve is ultimate goal, which becoming a billionaire, I meant NBA Champion. Joe and Amar’e might end up playing in New York with D’Antoni just like when they all were at Phoenix together. It will be an interesting week to see who goes where and who stays put.
