Producers - Discussion / Dr Dre Beat Headphones
« on: January 14, 2008, 02:52:34 PM »
Quote
(Credit: Monster)As far as celebrity-branded products are concerned, at least this makes more sense than the J. Lo USB drive.
Dr. Dre --never one to miss a marketing opportunity himself--is getting into audio gear with a pair of headphones made by Monster.
But we're not sure if his name alone will justify the $400 price of the "Beats" line when there are so many other high-end headphones on the market. And as MobileWhack says, it might help if there was something current by Dre to listen to.
Who wants some?

Hip Hop Events / BHLAKHROZE Birthday
« on: December 09, 2007, 10:12:33 PM »Quote
She smiles, I smile
She walks, no she glides softly by me changing night into day
She opens her mouth to speak, and so sounds ring in my head
She speaks, and I want to dance to her rhythm
She moves ever so gently, increasing my desires,
As I place my arms around her waist,
Hold and squeeze unto me,
I want to melt into her body, and discover the base of her warmth
Her beautiful black body that, no human mind could ever conceive
Shes love
Shes truth
Shes real, as real as the stars that shine in the heavens
As real as the sun that bathes her body,
As real as the moon that glows and the birds that sing and the rose
That blossoms in spring for she is that rose
And not just any rose,
But a black rose,
Black rose stands tall and stronger than any other plant
A black rose, that stands as creator, of nations of
Black rose
That never loses her petals, and blossoms all year round
Black rose,
Sweet rose,
Thornless rose
Eternal rose
Please look my way,
Please look my way
Please look my way

General Discussion / World Aids Day 2007
« on: November 30, 2007, 02:18:52 AM »
Lets try this again AG.
1st of December is World AIDS day.
Far too often the AIDS pandemic is swept under the carpet in the so-called 1st world as well as the “3rd World”. We need dialogue. Education has marginally improved in some areas yet this ma**ive pandemic is often overshadowed by more vivid socio-economic themes. Internationally, Global warming is a more popular theme than HIV/ AIDS now. AIDS is not so much “their” problem as it is OUR problem.
AIDS should be a central theme in any Southern African socio-economic discussion. The complexities of poverty, politics, education, human rights and economics are inseparably joined at the hip to HIV/AIDS.
We are the generation empowered to make the difference. Reliance on our current crop of political leaders is folly.
What is the way forward? How do we combat the pandemic?
I am in agreement with current South African president Thabo Mbeki that the solution lies in addressing the poverty paradigm. It is a fact that AIDS is prevalent in poorer communities with little or no access to education and resources.
Can tangible results be achieved within the immediate future?
What needs to be done to SEE results?
Dialogue is a good start.
Education first.
Reportedly anti-retrovirals (ARV’s) in Africa can cost as much as 12 times more than they do in Europe & Asia (http://www.tralac.org/scripts/content.php?id=3928 ). So the people most in need of the medicine can never dream of affording it.
Subsidies on anti-retoviral drugs and contraception should be high on every African government’s budget.
I have personally known people who have been affected by the HIV/ AIDS pandemic so this is very close to my heart.
I would love to enlist opinions/ commentary on this...

"Data from UNAIDS shows that sub-Saharan Africa is disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS.http://bayloraids.org/africa/aidsafrica.shtml
Southern Africa is currently at the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It is estimated that approximately 70 percent of people living with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa. In Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, at least 18 percent of the adult population is infected with HIV. Prevalence is especially high in cross-border areas with high mobility among truck drivers, migrant workers, and commercial sex workers."

« on: November 30, 2007, 12:42:49 AM »
Argueably Hip Hop has become "Ringtone music".
What hip hop staples make good ringtones?
I am not talking about MIMS here.
My current rotation:
1) Royce da 5'9 - "Boom" (instrumental)
2) Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth - T.R.O.Y (just the Horns at the Beginning)
3) Black Star - Definintion (Chorus)
Honourable mentions:
Jaylib - The Red
Gang Starr - Ma** Appeal
What are you all using?
