NEW MUSIC: MED ft. Talib Kweli - Classic [Produced by Karriem Riggins] (Download/Listen)

This was a nice surprise in the inbox! As I pressed play, definitely wasn't disappointed. Conscious, thought-provoking hip hop still does exist. According to Stones Throw, MED has been working on a new album & this is possibly a cut off the project. Karriem is pointed as the sole producer of the song, though rumors earlier today credited Madlib. Spotted at stonesthrow #realhiphop

VIDEO: 50 Cent And Floyd Mayweather Talk Friendship, Manny Pacquiao Fight




MTV:
"50 Cent is one of my best friends," Mayweather said. "He's a great person, great guy. He's very controversial. He's surrounded by a lot of controversy like myself. In the rap game he's taking on all comers. In the fight game, I'm taking on all comers."

"All comers!" 50 added. "You know what people mistake about Floyd? When he says 'money.' When he makes reference to money, it's not like he doesn't have a passion for the actual art form of boxing or the skill, because he's obviously the best fighter out there. And they still can't find anybody out there who can beat him."

Lourdes Leon is ready to take the fashion world by storm! The fashionista-in-the-making and her mother, Madonna, are getting ready to launch their clothing line Material Girl on August 3.

“I am totally obsessivo about 80’s shorts… You know the kind that makes your butt look kinda big, with a grunge-looking shirt tucked in. It’s kinda nerdy but I love it. And the 80’s are another huge obsession of mine, which is totally amazingly awesome because Material Girl…HELLO! It’s like 80’s themed, which pretty much rocks, so yeah.”

“Music wise My Chemical Romance is THE BEST BAND EVER for realzzzz. They are so awesome it hurts. If you don’t know who they are just… go away OR download their songs.”

“I’m 13 and I’ll be 14 in October, so I can’t wait for that because I am FINALLY allowed to dye my hair… THANK YOU MOTHER!!”

VH1: In this episode of Behind the Music we trace Jennifer Hudson's beginnings with her close knit family on the south side of Chicago, continue with her early elimination from American Idol and her starring role in Dream Girls which earned her every major movie award Hollywood could bestow.

VIDEO: Lagy GaGa's 'Monster Ball" in Montreal: Dance in the Dark x You & I x Alejandro x Love Game x Telephone x Just Dance x Poker Face & more

Word is, Lady GaGa put on one heck of a show tonight in Montreal for the kickoff of the North American leg of her Monster Ball tour.

MTV News reports:

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada -- "I'm going to give you the best show of your life tonight. You're not going to be able to walk in the morning."

That's what Lady Gaga said Monday night (June 28, 2010), right around what could've conservatively been called "the midway point" of her marathon set, and she wasn't kidding. Because by the time she finally wrapped the two-plus hour show at the Bell Centre -- a show that was also the kickoff of the North American leg of her revamped (and seemingly unending) Monster Ball Tour -- there wasn't a calf muscle left unquivered. If it wasn't the best show her "little monsters" had ever seen, it certainly was the longest.

An over-the-top (even by her rather lofty standards) mélange of, well, practically everything, the new Monster Ball features Gaga at her most outrageous, unhinged and (at times) sublimely ridiculous, a whirling, whooshing beast of a thing that's long in practically every conceivable way: long on style, long on attitude, even long on inspiration. Loosely based on a narrative arc (yes, there's an entire story line this time around) that recalls "The Wizard Of Oz," "West Side Story," "Metropolis" and even "Angels In America," packed with more wattage than an overheated power plant and more costume changes than a thousand Vegas reviews, it's the kind of show that leaves you with wide eyes, ringing ears, aching limbs and absolutely zero chance of making it to work in the morning.

WE COLLECTED A BUNCH OF FOOTAGE FROM THE FULL SHOW, READ MORE TO WATCH MOST OF CONCERT


VIDEO: Lee "Scratch" Perry's Wild World: Watch a Clip From 'The Upsetter'



Lee "Scratch" Perry is the psychedelic godfather of reggae, the mad scientist of dub and the producer of Super Ape and Bob Marley's early hits to the Clash's "Complete Control." His music and antics are the stuff of legend, and in the new documentary The Upsetter, filmmakers Ethan Higbee and Adam Bhala Lough take a never-before-seen look at the artist Rolling Stone calls "Reggae's Mad Scientist" in our current issue. In addition to interviews with Perry, The Upsetter features extensive archival footage from the musician's own collection.
In the exclusive sneak peek above, watch Perry lobby for the legalization of weed and take part in a religious ceremony that involves a bonfire — in his own living room. It's footage like this that backs up Perry's claims that he burned down his famed studio the Black Ark to rid it of its evil spirits. "I needed to be forgiven of my sin," Perry tells Rolling Stone. "I burned my sin, and I am born again." The Upsetter, which is narrated by actor Benicio Del Toro, charts Perry's journey from Jamaica to his current home in Zurich, Switzerland, and all the music in between.

FASHION: Lanvin Spring/Summer 2011 Sneaker Preview

Yesterday morning in Paris, Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz showed Lanvin’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. When asked about the main idea behind the line Ossendrijver said “it was a hybrid behind active wear – but not in an 80s kind of way – and more formal tailoring.” With a focus on fabric, color and cut (and details, details, details) Lanvin offers an interesting new sneaker that falls in line with that hybrid active wear theme.
