Pharrell’s Key Note Speech at Midem

Pharrell Keynote at MIDEM 2010 from thecashmerethinker on Vimeo.

Listen to Pharrell as he answers questions and basically unfolds the great map that is his brain at the Midem music business conference in Cannes, France. This interview is long but his words moved me a few different times. Its def worth it to take a look as he talks about traveling, the music industry, the importance of be technologically literate, and life in general.

Ghostface Interview

Ghostface recently did an interview with 247HH and it is very enlightening. He's such a real persona and his album Wizard of Poetry is in stores Today. I'm gonna go cop it tomorrow. Peep the interview. Wu is still relevant in 09.

RIP Tupac Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996)

You were one of the most passionate MC's to touch a Mic. Your legacy lives on and Hip Hop misses you dearly. Rest in Peace.

Jay-Z On Bill Maher

This is a dope interview, made me laugh and appreciate Jay more and more. With every interview he does, I learn more about him, and how dedicated he is to revealing truth through his music.

Who Is Nicki Minaj?

I have to admit for the last two weeks I've been banging Beam Me Up Scotty, Nicki Minaj's latest mixtape that she recently dropped with Young Money. If you don't know about her yet, this interview can give you a little glimpse as to who she is. One thing I can honestly say I respect about her is how she takes her influences from other female rappers, yet you will not be able to compare her to any of them. She's not a Trina or Lil' Kim, neither is she a Lauryn Hill or MC Lyte. She's simply Nicki Minaj. Check out her mixtape.
