Remembering The Notorious B.I.G.

EJae — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 10:20:00 EST

We will never forget one of the greatest rappers hailed out of Brooklyn New York- The Notorious B.I.G.. His lyrical style is still honored as one of the best to ever get into the game.

In this video, BIG was 17 years old freestyling out in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, NY.

Fashionable speaking...he was synonymous with rocking Versace shades and Coogi sweaters. I came across this dope collage that was done in memory of BIG...Shouts to Kiad816

This song is from her debut album, The ArchAndroid: Suites II and III, which is in stores now. This video has a combination of style, class, and mama is working those dance moves. I'm all over this.

On The Set of B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You" Video Shoot

EJae — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:33:42 EST

Ever hear a song on the radio for the first time and instantly love it?! That's how I felt about this B.o.B aka Bobby Ray's song "Nothin' On You" featuring Bruno Mars. His style kinda reminds me of Lupe Fiasco. #imjustsayin'. It has such a easy going cruising around with your honey type of flow *wink*. The song talks about a guy letting a girl know she's the sh*t and there's no other. The is B.o.B.'s first single from his anticipated debut album B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray which hits stores April 27. The video will be released the first week of March.
