Louis Vaughn Rhymes Over Classic Jay Z. Aspires To Be Like Steve Jobs [video]

unlike Jay’s classic, Louis rhymes about hustling to get up there with the people he most admires and are looked up to in our culture: Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Tupac, Steve Jobs, Billie Holiday and Bob Marley ( feels like a game of ‘Which one doesn’t belong? )

maxresdefaultLouis Vaughn ( the son of J-Ro from Tha Alkaholiks ) released a video where he rhymes over a classic Jay Z – Dead Presidents. But unlike Jay’s classic, Louis rhymes about hustling to get up there with the people he most admires and are looked up to in our culture: Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Tupac, Steve Jobs, Billie Holiday and Bob Marley ( feels like a game of ‘Which one doesn’t belong? )

This music video is symbolic for how I’d like to be represented when my time here is complete.

When I think of Presidents, I think of the people who are looked up to in our culture’s society.

The people that are given full attention whenever they speak.

Just like those Dead Presidents represented in this exhibit, what I do and say will live way beyond my last days here as well.

Let’s break down how much New York we’re dealing with here. The video consists of panning shots of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, with scenic shots of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn from films by Oliver Stone, Martin Scorcese and Woody Allen shown on an iPad. So, you’re seeing New York while you’re seeing New York. Then, with the help of J-Live, some iconic music videos from Jay-Z and the Beastie Boys are also shown, and some samples of the words “New York” are also being used throughout the video.

Brooklyn Nets’ Barclays Center: The Most High-Tech Stadium in Sports [video]

Coined “the most high-tech stadium in sports,” the Brooklyn Nets’ Barclays Center is outfitted with free Wi-Fi that’s designed to support a packed house full of smartphone-wielding fans, LTE and 3G service from the four major carriers and sponsor MetroPCS, and an app that lets fans order and pay for food from their seats without having to stand in concession lines.

It took nine years and some 35 court battles to build the billion-dollar stadium. The Nets won’t play their first home game against the Knicks until November 1st, but the Center itself opened last Friday in a ribbon-cutting ceremony that featured New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Brooklyn borough president Marty Markowitz, and Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
