Inspiration for Blueprint 3 Cover

Apparently the cover was influenced by Secret Machines on their 2004 album Now Here is Nowhere, U2's U2’s most recent album No Line On The Horizon, (left to right) and 808's and Heartbreak. I still respect it. Via Idolator.

Rich Soil

I always hear about an athlete/rapper with a clothing line and think nothing of it...I did the same with Rich Soil created by Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom and designer Johnathan Garcia. Still a work in progress, they actually have some dope clothes and nice designs. I may cop some T's from them over at RichSoil.com.

**Welcome back to Los Angeles LO!

Jay and Kanye

Read this article and tell me if you agree with the conclusion. I don't, but maybe that's just me.

"Jay-Z - 4
Kanye - 6

So, there it is. What’s your take? 6-4 Jay? 7-3 Kanye? Whatever your tally amounts to, one thing’s for sure. It won’t be easy."

Nas - Film

This kid by the name of C-Sikk won some beat battle and got to produce for Nas. I like this one. Press Play.
