Common & Jay-Z Are American Gangsters, Tanya Morgan Wins Big in Vegas!, Producers 88-Keys & Illmind Pay A Visit.
Okay, we’re excited for American Gangster. Both the movie and the album by Jay-Z which has hit the net in near entirety. The early snippets sound fresh. No, we wont post any file sharing links to the real jawns.
Kinda funny how Common didn’t have to change clothes too much for his roll in A.G., especially the hat. Having been promoting dude for a minute on here, we are proud to see how far he’s come. Watch and discuss the new video for “I Want You” starring Alicia Keys. Earlier in the week I slipped up and said the song was produced by Kanye but duh, it was will.i.am. Sorry will!
Go behind the scenes with BKyle for the making of that video and if you see DJ Chaps (Kweli’s show DJ, if you don’t know) in the streets, ask him to do his Finding Forever impression, hilarious.
We can’t hold our tongue any longer. Tanya Morgan WON the MySpace/XM “Show Me What You Got” contest. Congrats fellas! Tell us what you’ve won! Check back next week for the exclusive Power Summit / XM contest blog (words and photos) from the non-losing Donwill.
The good folks at the Smoking Section are hosting a “Proof Of Purchase” x Little Brother Giveaway. Okayplayer approves.
Producers on the boards. Illmind wants to thank you for the love on Get Back. The homey 88-Keys takes your questions about his song “M.I.L.F” featuring Bilal.
Just as signs of the all new Okayplayer.com seemed as likely as spotting the Lochness Monster, I can actually say that I saw it yesterday, confirming its existence.
And before we head into the weekend, some file sharing links we can hip you to, new live Roots downloads available from TheRootsLive.com
