Kevin Hart: Laugh At My Pain

   This hour long stand up comedy special was recently made available to the public and is sure to be filled with an array of behind the scenes footage.
   The keys to Kevin Hart's success are two things; his ability to remain humble even during his recent triumphs and also his work ethic. The movie begins with him in a huddle with his team chanting " everybody wanna be famous, don't nobody wanna do the work."
    This was an impressively hilarious special from this rising star. He talked about several deeply personal topics including dealing with his mothers passing and humorous situations involving his father. After watching the special its hard not to say "you gon learn today".

Eminem Takes On Yelawolf

In the past 5 years we have seen many attempts to create a rap persona that closely resembles that of Mr Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady aka Eminem. From the ill-conceived Asher Roth character with his feeble ode to college life, to other lesser known acts that have faded into obscurity, it is apparent that Marshall’s shoes will be extremely hard to fill. Enter Yelawolf, aka Michael Atha. This hip hopn artist mad a name for himself with his lyrical ability being featured on Big Boi’s latest album. He was born in Alabama and combines Eminem’s lyrical mastery with his own touch of southern swag. Recently he was signed to a division of the Shady Records company. This is exciting because we all can see that Slim is schooling this newcomer on the wayss of maintaining a successful career. I cannot wait to see what collaboration arise from the two joining forces

He was born on September 19, 1976.  "Perhaps one of the most highly acclaimed rappers of the 2000s, Jay Electronica first gained significant attention after the release of the musical composition Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), made available on a MySpace page in 2007.

  A lot of his fans (me included) have been wondering when Jay will be dropping an entire album considering the fact that he has
such a strong internet presence. I haven't heard any recent new about an album release date, although in his highly acclaimed Just Blaze produced single, he mentioned that a number of high profile rappers and producers were waiting for him to drop his verses for the anticipated album. I am almost literally chomping at the bit waiting for this sure to be masterpiece and I will keep you posted on any upcoming news.
