…with the unique name of the Sidekick 2009. Get it? It’s a Sidekick, and it’s being released in 2009. How clever!
Does anyone still use Sidekicks? Let us know if you do… but I just don’t see them around anymore especially when a Blackberry Bold is free these days

I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. “Who Dat” was one of my favorite tracks off The Recession. I used to roll through Melrose (L.A.) blasting this out the whip… and it kind of made up for the fact that I’m a puny white dude trying to stunt.
But in all seriousness, how the fu*k did Jeezy screw this video up so badly?
First… where is the plot? A female cop (probably influenced by Weezy’s “Ms. Officer” video)…then a court room filled with dancing people…then Jeezy standing in front of a completely green-screened “Da Trap” sign…then a fake janky ass helicopter…and then back to the court. WTF is this? Can someone explain how this relates AT ALL to the idea behind the track “Who Dat”?
Now that my rant is over… what’s with this hodgepodge of new-school and old-school rappers. This feels like an “Arab Money” video part 2… with cheesy green-screened-in celebs. This time I noticed Busta Rhymes (what a surprise…new album drops soon), DJ Khaled, Jadakiss, Akon, Ice Cube, Fabolous. The only reason I’m not going to sh*t on this lineup further is that it is a great representation of the Def Jam family. But still, random.
Listen, I know the economy’s rough… and it’s time to cut those video budgets in half…but still. Enough with wack ass blatant usage of the green screen in platinum rappers’ videos. Hype, we need you!
Without further ado, here’s the music video for Young Jeezy’s new single, “Who Dat”:
What do you guys think??
Sweet 16′er Aaron Reid (son of Def Jam Records’ Chairman L.A. Reid) just confirmed on his blog that DJ Khaled is set to take over Def Jam South as president. This is a big move for both Khaled and the label, considering they needed to bring some new talent in the building with the passing of veteran Shakir Stewart, and that DJ Khaled works with almost everyone in the modern hip-hop industry. Congrats, and we look forward to seeing big things from the new down-south prez!
Dope commercial, but I’m not sure if this is a true advertisement of Absolut rather than the LV Don himself. Oh well — creative nonetheless.

I had the pleasure to do my first interview with an artist of intelligent words. Ace Hood is a newly signed artist to DJ Khaled’s label We The Best Music. His debut single ‘Cash Flow’ has been murdering mainstream radio and he refuses to stop there.
Q: To start off, tell me about where you grew up.
Ace: Well you know, I’m from St. Lucia. Grew up in Deerfield Beach, Florida ya know. That was my home or my city for like 14 plus years.
Q: How did your childhood influence your music?
Ace: Well in my childhood I didn’t grow up with my original father, so my step father- he took place of his position or what not. My real father was a part of music as well. He was part of a band and my step father was part of a band as well. The pretty much inspired me. They inspired me coming up. Ya know. Do what I do. They was always supporting me to do it. So I might as well have pursued it like that.
