Jay-z - Death of Autotune (Video)

 

This is "Death of Autotune" Produced by No ID and Kanye.  And the Track is ridculously good.  And the video is classic with that roughed 80's back alley night scenes.  Plus Starrring Harvey Keitel and Lebron.

This is actually an Annieves post I took as my own.  Plus even though I love the track, I have a feeling like Jay-z is completely bashing 1/2 producer Kanye, everything from using autotune to tight jeans and colorful clothing, mmm....

I am really not prepared to post much today.  I am in a state of silence. I watched "The Moonwalker" last night and I am going through his amazing Discography today.  MTVMUSIC, is streaming 24 of his music videos, I would recommend watching "Leave Me Alone" but it isn't on the list.

Peace it,

9th you killed on the production, and great combo with Wale and Jean Grae.  If not familiar any of these cats join a sorority and step your game up (Little Brother line, not really related except for 9th).  Plus the commentary at the end is priceless.

Doom for Time and Newsweek, but not for The Economist

 
 

I know the talk about the death of print is boring most folks, but this video has some very interesting points to think about.  Its main focus is to explain why the Economist is doing so well but it hits on some strategies Newsweek and Time did that might have been counterproduct.  One putting so much effort in build a web identity and two littering their magazine in the tables of Doctor's offices.

I don't know if my feeling really align with that.  But the argument definitely has merit, and probably speaks more about poor excution and cheap mass marketing tactics.

Park Chan-wook's "Thirst" Redband Trailer

 

I feel only horror films direct from Asian can give the real chills. This flick is directed by Korean Filmmaker Park Chan-wook of Joint Security Area, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, and I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK.
