It is 4.50 am right now, and I am finally wrapping up my interview with Kardinal Offishall for HipHopCanada.com (It should get published in the next few days…) As I’m doing my research still to write up my intro and googling around the internet, I got in his youtube page, and found this precious video of him and the crew having dinner with the Pussycat Dolls in Spain. It’s HILARIOUS. Please click…you won’t be dissapointed.And keep in mind, Not 4 Sale is in stores people, so go get your copy. Do what Bishop does if you can afford it, and get yourself TWO copies or more!

So yesterday I went to watch the movie I was really super excited about “Righteous Kill” starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and my man Fiddy…My girls and I went for a drink @ Jack’s first (Killa can’t beleive you stiffed me cold…u owe me a big rib dinner fo real…wait you get those free up in H city anyway!!TISK!) and then we headed over to the theatre for the 9:50 movie. Let me tell you first of all how we went all late and shit, thinking since it was a late sunday night it wouldn’t be busy cuz all the kids had to go to school…nuh uh. Shit was jamm packed…we nearly had to sit in the front row!
Anyways…the movie…well the movie…to me…was boring.Very.I was really dissapointed. I mean I know the movie description was drama and not action, but I thought it really sucked. I felt like I was watching a CSI or Law and Order episode. 50 was the only exciting part in it for me, and even his role was so un-necessary to the grand role of things. He was a gangster caught up in the middle of the popo bullshit. They could take 50’s role out completely and it wouldn’t change the plot. The only thing it does, is that it diverts the viewer’s focus on who the killer is…(since the viewer may think it’s 50 in the beginning). As much as I was looking forward to it, I left the theatre dissapointed.I didn’t bring my SCENE card with me, and now I want my 10.35$ back…Tisk.

As a lot of Torontonians and of course film gurus already know, last weekend was the beginning of the Toronto International Film Festival. This is a crazy time for “Yorkville” the upscale area of Toronto, where a lot of the stars that come to town, stay, party, eat, and drink. So who was in town this year? Whooooooooosh a WHOLE lot of celebrities, from Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Kate Hudson, Jude Law, Jessica Biel, Kiera Knightly, Paris Hilton, Anne Hathaway, Puff Daddy, John Legend, Wyclef Jean and many many others. You can only imagine the parties going on last week.You can also understand why I was a little busy last week and never got a chance to post!I know it’s no excuse but…
Well Maxamus Entertainment was brought in on a party Lebron James was having at Brassaii (no I couldn’t post it on here as it was invite only) with a special live performance by Robin Thicke, which all in all can be described in one word: AMAZING. I rolled in with the crew (Lil X, Taj, Diggz, and Nadia) and kicked it with Val, Vania, Voyce and all the other fantastic ladies that we invited to party with us. I did not have a camera with me, so I never got any photos, but thank God, like always, my camera phone saved me. I just missed out on the photos with Lebron, because by the time the VIP rolled in, the open bar had already kicked in and I had had my 5th glass of wine…or something like that. Oh and I also have to mention that Mr Interscope himself, Jimmy Iovine was ALSO in attendance…whoa what a rush!After the Brassaii we headed to Rosewater, where the party went on and on and on and on….

The other day my boy Lo (there’s your shout out) was showing me this dope video/record concept that him and his artist Shaun Boothe were working on.
Shaun is also a friend of mine and he has been making music for a minute, bubbling in the scene in Toronto and surrounding areas. The one thing about Shaun is that he’s always creative about his music and his videos. Always trying to combine his skills on the mic with the best visuals and concepts, his approach is definitely unique.
Introducing the Bio Series – In 12 months, Shaun will be releasing 12 videos, each capturing the life of 12 icons, starting off with James Brown
Check the first flick and post your feedback

I just got this remix in my inbox the other day. It’s a 50 Cent remix of M.I.A’s Paper Planes (yeah that gunshot record that’s hoooott in the clubs right now). I love the original, even though the video is a little different. Mind you…we need “different” videos in music now instead of your typical glamor type stuff.
Anyways…this 50 Cent freestyle is alright. I’ve heard better from Fiddy. Doesn’t hurt the song, but I don’t feel it makes it any better either. I think Fiddy could have came harder on it and really hyped the record up..
I dunno…what you think!?
Click HERE to listen/download.
Oh and here’s M.I.A.’s video for the original PAPER PLANES.
Sidenote: Eventhough the song is really hot now, it’s been out since late ‘07
If you can, check out her “Bucky Done Gun” and “Come Around ft. Timbaland” records.
