Nicki Minaj - Champion Feat Drake, Young Jeezy & Nas (New Music)

A new Nicki Minaj song has just leaked called Champion feat Nas, Drake & Young Jeezy.

The line up is pretty fresh fantasy dream team like.

When I first saw the tracklist, this song stood out the most to me.  Now that its here, I'm ready to hear it.  So here it goes.

AMEX Presents Jay-Z Live @ SXSW (Full

I waited a few days to post this video specifically to consume the backlash of public opinion from both sides.  What I learned from the aftermath of JiggaMan: SXWS was just as life, some people hated the performance saying since he fumbled verses he's too old and needs to retire while others praised it as pure Gold.

The fact that this concert streamed live via youtube where fans could interact by choosing songs for Jay-Z to perform was amazing.

Truthfully, if he was performing so many songs including ones chosen for him to perform randomly, who cares if he fumbled through a few lines on two songs out of the 20 plus songs performed, seriously?

Some people hate you, some people love you.  Some people hate Art, others love that same piece of Art.  I guess the truth is ART not only imitates life, ART is Life.

My personal opinion of JiggaMan: SXSW is until another Rapper can even accomplish performing this caliber concert (including NOT fumbling ANY of THEIR lyrics for 90 minutes) I will crown them.  For now, Jay-Z's accomplishments up until this past Monday leave him standing alone as the king of Rap.

In My Opinion, the closest competition of course would be Nas or Eminem, but neither Nas nor Eminem have a song with Sade or are they married to Queen Beyonce.  I know, I know... I could debate others as well, but I will leave that debate for another time.

HAHA...seriously, if you missed the show live, check out the concert video courtesy of VEVO.

Wale - Ambition feat. Meek Mill & Rick Ross (Official Video)

It seems Wale wants to keep the streets laced with heat by dropping his latest visuals for the album title track Ambition featuring Meek Mills and Rick Ross.

I always liked this track off of the album, so any time I see an artist actually drop a video for any one of my favorite songs is always a plus.

Anyway, much love to @missinfo and @Rickyrozay for headsup about the new video dropping today.

Drake - Club Paradise Tour Finale (After Party)

Last night, Drake finished his Club Paradise Tour in San Diego with an afterparty for the ages.  Apparently, one of San Diego's first super night clubs On Broadway Event Center (OBEC) closed its doors for the last time after 12 years with a going away party no one could ever dream of.

With Drake finishing his tour and On Broadway closing its doors, Drake brought the high energy from the concert straight to the Stage with no signs of letting up until the very end.

I was honored to shoot the finale on both ends seeing as On Broadway was one of the first clubs I worked with after moving to San Diego to pursue dreams of "photography".

Drake was very cool and interacted with the crowd showing he was happy to party it up, but ready to wrap up the long tour as well... hence the finale afterparty.

Anyway, make sure you check out the photos from Drake's Afterparty/Tour Finale HERE.

Young Jeezy - Leave You Alone Feat. Ne-Yo (Official Video)

New visuals for Young Jeezy's Leave You Alone recently hit the scene.  This is actually one of my favorite tracks from Jeezy's latest album TM103.  Leave You Alone features Ne-Yo and is produced by West Coast Legend, Warren G.

Apparently, there is nothing more exciting or dangerous than a secret, forbidden love.  In the video, Young Jeezy finds love on the wrong side of town which turns into a mini movie, but the song is hot so its worth it.
