We’ve been feelin’ this guy for awhile. I mean anyone that has been online since the beginning of ‘09 should have at least heard of Aubrey Drake Graham, Young Money’s newest breakout artist. And just in case you’ve been noticeably absent on the Interweb (or maybe you’re just a sucker for Canadian teenage dramas), you might have seen him play Jimmy on Degrassi: The Next Generation. Either way, Drake has infiltrated your life in one way or another. Just in case you’re still not as big a fan of So Far Gone as we are over in these parts, let the mere fact that he sold out his show in ATL in less than five hours be another testament to how big this guy is going to be.

Flashback Friday: Sittin’ on Chrome

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

We apologize for the lack of updates lately. See we’re world travelers over here at eCITY, and as much as we would like to tout the availability of fast, secure wireless connections in the airports of Asia, unfortunately we found ourselves sitting in the corner of the boarding gate wondering why we even took a vacay if it meant that we couldn’t go to Media Takeout to see Cassie’s naked pics. That being said, it’s finally Friday. For this week’s installment of Flashback Friday, we decided to bring some attention to Masta Ace, and specifically the single he is perhaps best known for (have you even heard of any other single besides this and Born to Roll?), of course we’re talking about “Sittin’ on Chrome”. This song definitely takes us back to the days of Raiders jerseys and car shows…ohh the 90’s. Anyway, enjoy the video, enjoy your Friday. We, on the other hand, will enjoy our wireless Internet connection, and warm, running water.

Flashback Friday: Ditty

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

You guys probably have the impression that we over here at eCITY only blog on Fridays. It is quite noticeable that we have disappeared for a quick minute, and yes, we admit…we have. We really don’t have any other explanation besides that it was a crazy week of extended studio sessions, Laker game debates, photo shoots and personal mishaps. But, that is all over now, and it’s Friday. So let’s pop champagne and think back to 1993. When Paperboy enamored the masses with his hit song (one and only hit song) “Ditty”. Can you still remember how you were in ‘93? We were probably trying to find a way to show off that learner’s permit we just got, and passing out mixtapes of radio rips to everyone at school. But anyway, I digress. Enjoy your Friday..next time you hear from us we will be live blogging from beautiful Las Vegas. You jelly?

Vegas 2.0

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

We don’t usually get two full days to bask in 100+ degree weather and basically fulfill every hedonistic dream we ever conjoured up, but we did this weekend. The whole crew is in Vegas, and we are LOVING it. Besides the fact that we have not slept more than 2 hours in a 30 hour period, things are great when you don’t have a care in the world. So although we would love to break down every minute detail of this trip, we must reference the oft quoted phrase “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” But just know this, we are making the best out of every moment that we are here. Hope you guys are having a great weekend…we will resurface again once the alcohol has sufficiently exited our systems.

Video: “Part of the list”

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

Why do we like Ne-Yo’s video for “Part of the list” so much? Is it because it looks like they spent a little bit of dough on it? Or is it the girl? Or maybe it’s because the imagery tugs at our heartstrings and reminds us of a similar situation in our past lives? Anyway, just check it out, peep that last scene with the Blackberry Bold. Gnarly.

VIDEO: Kanye’s Paranoid

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

Another month, another Kanye video. We swear this guy’s trying to turn each one of his albums into some sort of seminar of directorial interpretation. If we had to take a shot at to what this one mean’s we would guess this one’s a fever dream of sexual identity. Rihanna stars in this sometimes hot sometimes creepy video, which instantly makes us wonder if CB Picasso-ed her face because she was one hell of a robocop. We’re not sayin’, we’re just sayin.

Lil Wayne’s “Kobe”

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

This song is kind of a trip when you really think about it. Released on the day of the first game of the NBA Finals, everything about it makes too much sense in a conventional matter. In a post-Weezy F. Baby rap game, isn’t convention now the new random declaration of being a Martian? Something about the whole thing seems too forced, Weezy relegating himself to a cold, measured flow to mirror the Black Mamba’s ice cold killer instinct, and leaving rap and basketball fans alike bored as hell. We’re sure Lakers fans that hang out on Fairfax with Pirates caps on are jerking off to the idea of this, but we’re still more in line with the idea of LeBron being the on-court Little Wayne, as both have exhibited a penchant for bending spacetime in their respective fields to get shit done.

It’s Time to Start Selling That Milkshake

Posted in Uncategorized on July 1st, 2009 by admin

It’s been about a month since Kelis filed for divorce from Nas because of “irreconcilable differences”, and things have been getting uglier by the day.

The latest involves Kelis’ claim that she has run out of money to support herself or the former couples’ unborn child (due later this month), as well as her assertion that she is entitled to maintain the lavish lifestyle she has become so familiar with during their six years of marriage.

Among the things she wants back from Nas’ possession (from TMZ):

* A princess-cut diamond tennis bracelet worth $190,000
* A nine-carat diamond solitaire engagement ring
* Cartier, Rolex, Frank Muller & Chopard watches

Now, I don’t know what she plans to do with all this stuff if and when she gets it, and I know she once sang that she had “diamonds on her neck”, but I know she better downgrade to cubic zirconia and keep it movin’! It’s time for her to hit the pawn shop or Craigslist with the quickness and get an apartment or SOMETHING.

I’ll be honest, I do think it sounds a little cold as ice on Nas’ part to not want to pay for anything, considering that there’s a child in the mix, but this is why you don’t enter into a marriage expecting to be taken care of!

Did I mention she wants $20,000 for strollers and cribs? Someone introduce this woman to Wal-Mart.

Kelis, mama, I’ll lend you a poker table, some cardboard boxes and a magic marker. Hell, I might even throw in a blender. It’s time to start selling that milkshake because if you think you are “entitled” to live the good life “just because”, you need to SIT DOWN!
