New Common Vid, Amy Rests Up, Kweli Gets Praise, Blu & Exile, M.I.A., Time Mag Talks Hip Hop
Common’s new video for “Drivin’ Me Wild” featuring Lily Allen will debut on TRL & MTV.com next Monday, 8/27. Watch this exclusive behind-the-scenes vid where Com breaks down the meaning of the song, and then peep the photos. Listen here: Windows | Real.
Seem’s that NYC’s Black August used pure common sense, adding your boy to their line-up! Make sure you come through The Nokia this Saturday to see Com alongside Mos Def, Kweli, dead prez, Saigon, and more.
After much discussion and speculation, Amy Winehouse cancels her Sept/Oct dates (with full refunds of course) in the U.S. and Canada. She is set to reschedule for early ‘08. For now, Amy is resting and addressing her health. We hope she gets well soon.
The Lesson is all a-buzz about Kweli’s latest Eardrum. Many agree that it’s his best work to date! What do you think? Still don’t have it??!! Get your copy now, along with an exclusive collector’s booklet (while supplies last!), only in the OkayStore.
TWO 4.5 out of 5’s in the Reviews? Maddness. Read up on Lesson faves Blu & Exile’s Below The Heavens. Then see what OKP has to say about M.I.A.’s latest effort Kala. Heads are loving this album!
NEWS FLASH! Hip Hop is hurtin’, and Time Magazine is investigatin’. Good thing they talked to Roots manager extraordinare Rich Nickels (pause) and former tommy boy-signee Q-Tip (he said it) for some perspective.
