Jay-Z set Twitter on fire when he decided to send five tweets in a matter of four minutes Monday afternoon. Not one for social media, Jay-Z has only composed 46 tweets since November 2008 when he initially Joined Twitter.
Everyone from Complex Magazine to Diddy are calling these series of tweets a "rant." Compared to Kanye West's outbursts, I'm not sure if Jay's five tweets are worthy of such a distinction.
Signed with hashtags of the Holy Grail and New Rules, the five tweets signify his union with Samsung that was officially introduced Sunday night during Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Not to ever be outdone, Jay-Z - styled by June Ambrose, of course - debuted a Samsung Galaxy commercial with the legendary Rick Rubin, Swizz Beatz, Timabaland and Pharrell confined to one studio room producing beats to be heard on his new album. The new album Magna Carta Holy Grail will be available first to a million Samsung Galaxy users. Albeit as iconic as the gathering was, and as ingenious as the marketing scheme is, I only have one question: Where is Kanye West?
Setting personal friendships aside, Kanye West seems to be responsible for Jay-Z's resurgence and new sound on Blueprint. Of all of the things that Kanye West self-admittingly fights for, according to his recent NY Times interview, this should have been a priority. Was he asked and declined or was an invitation never sent his way? In any case, it leaves a looming question about the validity of Kanye's legacy as a producer which is often overshadowed by his career as a rapper.

Suffice it to say, Yasiin is a fan of his tour DJ Preservation. Evidence of Bey's trust in his DJ: their remix to the album "Ecstatic" - entitled "REcstatic" - has Preservation all over it (with the only exception being Yasiin's rapping over a Minnesota production for "Black Fantastic," which replaced "Casa Bey" on the original project). You can download the entire "REcstatic" project for FREE from the Mon Dieu Music site. Just Join the e-list, and the zip is all yours!

Down in the low country, where the city is rich with history and deep with island ancestry roots, is where the queen Shamane Rivers comes from. Born in Charleston, SC and raised along the outskirts in a little town called Moncks Corner, Shamane learned from her large family of aunties, uncles and cousins a lot about survival and how to live.
One would say that Miss. Rivers is a person of many talents - a hustler, maverick, and a go-getter - starting with over 10 years of experience in the hair industry under her belt, and now becoming a prominent part of online multimedia production company I Am Classic Hip Hop where she contributes as an on-air radio personality for The Queendom.
Shamane also handles marketing, public relations, advertising, creative direction, and contributes to advertising sales. She takes part in the production of shows as well as radio drops and commercial voice-overs
