Mos Def at Governers Island (NY) + Jay Electronica “Eats A$$es Alive”

Tini — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:52:18 +0000

There were a lot of good shows at Governers Island this summer, from Janelle Monae, to Erykah Badu, and the most recent performance by Mos Def with Jay Electronica this past Saturday.

If you follow Jay Electronica on Twitter you should know that he’s a little…. unique. That’s why we weren’t too shocked when we heard what he announced before bringing Mos Def to the stage:

“I don’t care who you think is dope – Cudi, Drake, whoever – I eat their asses alive. Except Mos.”

Can we get a Pause?

We didn’t make it to the concert (unfortunately) but thanks to Soulculture.com who provided us with a full review and videos. Check it out!:

Sneak Peek: Mos Def “House” Guest Appearance

admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:37:20 +0000

Musician. Actor. Poet. Tini’s (ATF Blogger) ex husband. Some would even say cutie. Mos Def will appear as a patient with locked in syndrome, a brain injury that leaves patients unable to communicate beyond blinking. I guess it’s safe to say we won’t see him kicking any rhymes this time around.

Tune in. House airs tonight at 8pm on FOX. More after the jump

Movie Review: Cadillac Records

Ian Jarrell — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:52:18 +0000

Last night I finally got the chance to catch Cadillac Records in theaters. Now I didn’t know what to expect from this movie. I love me some biography movies, but it was hard to get into as a biopic because i didn’t know anyone but Etta James and Chuck Berry..The movie was really good in my opinion. You can read more of my review after the jump. Don’t worry I won’t give any parts away…

During the movie some of the parts was actually giving me chills. Jeffrey Wright is one of those under-rated actors. He has performed amazingly in every film he has been in. I still remember him as the bad guy in Shaft..Jeffrey played Muddy Waters one of the founders of Rock n Roll. He played the hell out of that character.I think he was really lip syncing, but he still did a good job. Gabrielle Union played his main girl in the movie. She looked a mess throughout the whole movie. Now matter how much money he made, she never looked any different..

Miss. Beyonce put in down in this movie. She is really growing as an actress. She starred as Etta James, which everyone already knows. Beyonce wasn’t a major part of the movie, but when she did appear on screen she gave it her all. Now when she says she cursed a lot, that’s an understatement. Every word out her mouth was something vulgar. You can tell Beyonce was the executive producer, because her wigs and costumes were always on point. Etta probably never looked that good..The only thing that upset me about Beyonce was the fact that she couldn’t stop crying..

Mos Def was also in the film playing Chuck Berry. Now he made me laugh every time I saw him. Mos Def is a damn good actor. He didn’t have a big part, but he stole the scene whenever he was on camera. Columbus Short was GREAT! Now I didn’t know what to expect from this kid, but he can act. Short played Little Walter. I had no clue who Little Walter was, but I sure did google him when I got home. There would be no Elvis without Little Walter. Elvis was a true swagger jacker, sorry just my opinion.

This movie is a must-see. A lot of people don’t want to see it because of Beyonce, but you so-called music lovers need to learn your history. This movie showcases the root of music. There was actually other artist out there, beside the ones signed to Motown…

Here are some clips from the movie:

Cadillac Records – New York Premiere

Aura — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:57:51 +0000

The premiere for Cadillac Records went down last night here in NYC, and lots of A-listers were in attendance. The star of the lady of the night, Beyonce Knowles, came out in full effect, and showed off her CRAZY 18 karat diamond ring. Wow!

See who else showed up after the jump…

Beyonce in full effect Apparently Sasha Fierce also came to the party Jigga wasn’t far behind Diddy came out Of course Gabrielle Union came, as she is also starring in the movie Columbus Short was there. Remember him from Stomp the Yard? (Love him) Sloan from Entourage was there. Sorry, I like her character, but her real name slips my mind at the moment Kelly Ripa also showed up to the party.

Looks like it was a nice event. I wish someone who send out an alert every time Beyonce comes into town, so we can be prepared! We can’t wait to see the movie.
