Live and Direct - Summer Jam '09 Highlights
*Drake's got that KanYe dance down to a tee*
Now while i've never actually gone to a Summer Jam myself, from what I heard and what i gather through the internets, it's lost its luster over the past few years (Jay Bringing out MiJac, Jay going at everyone, Jay being Jay), nonetheless Summer Jam is still something epic and big for Hip-Hop. With this years being the last at Giants stadium, one has to wonder where will it take place at next year, maybe back at the Garden?

Death Of Autotune...
*And the rebirth of Jay-Z OVERHYPE*
Now i'll prolly be called a hater for this...but ummmm....that song really isnt anything Spectacular (No Homo). I mean its cool, i'll listen to it, the beat is ill...but really whats groundbreaking about it? People are just going apeshit about it (see Twitter) because its a new Jay-Z song.
Will it change anything...yes, im pretty sure alot of people will stop using autotune now that J Hova has proclaimed it dead. But really isnt this just a start of another trend? Some artist wont be stopping their use of the voice enhancer because they want to, more so because its not cool anymore...and i mean its a good thing yeah (I very much dislike autotune myself) but apart of me feels like its just continuing a cycle of people doing "whats in" as opposed to being creative with their music.
lol I just confused myself, i guess this is just an endless cycle...anyway

Follow Friday: RuthieDot & Jacquesmorels
*Double Feature*
Moving along....
I missed last week so i bring two this week.
First up is my homegirl Ruthie, the self procliamed "Sylvia Rhone of Onsmash.com". Ruth and I have known each other for over a year now (bet she doesnt even know that) and have become really good friends as of late.
Ruthie moderates the forums of Onsmash.com and also runs her own blog "The Pharcyde". Her love of hip hop music and culture definitely makes her one of the Dopest Females i know, make sure to check out her blog, and check her out on Twitter @RuthieDot , her constant bickering with her lil sister @rooox3 via tweet is sure to keep you laughing.
Moving along....
Jacques Morel is the owner of Jacquesmorel.com , a very cool blog that isnt your run of the mill hip-hop blog site.
What separates his site from others i've visited is that dude isnt afraid to give his honest opinion on people's music which is something i respect. Often people just nod they head and say "yeah it's cool" when they're either not really listening to the song or trying to save face.
Jacques has also giving Par-City some exposure which is something we all very much appreciate. So make sure you check out the blog and do yourself a favor and follow the homie on Twitter @Jacquesmorels (BTW, That #Hovsays shit has me ROTF).
So do your life a favor and...
FOLLOW THEM!!!
