FASHION: DID U KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW? (HISTORY OF
FASHION)
1960s, the birth of boutiques. Before this, fashion/clothing
was mostly dull and suitable for the older market. Then designers/retailers
started opening up small shops that specialized only in youthful fashion. YES! Boutiques
started out as small shops, selling cheap and colorful clothing for the youth.

EKAS'LAM 1852: ENTERTAINMENT
EKAS’LAM 1852: ENTERTAINMENT
KAY E: In the studio
Yesterday I walk in to studio and
guess who I ran in to... Kay E the man himself in the booth. I had a sneak
preview on what his busy on, one track in particular, featuring one of the
dopest 1852 vocalist, no, I will not mention his name wouldn't want to spoil
this surprise all I can say is they on the hustle(singing). This is sure to
be an industry banger, straight up and down like six o'clock. BIG UPS to my
hood.
We had a chat with Cyrus the Virus about his next move.
Team agent: Is there something
bubbling under for Cyrus?
Cyrus: LOL... Well I'm looking in to
going back to studio to record a single which is still untitled, we still
working on those logistics... I'm also working hard preparing for live shows; I
believe that is the key element in artistry. There is also a video pending, of
which I won't go into much detail about. I want it to hit the industry like
blaaaaaaaaw!!!, so watch the space.
Team agent: O.K, but at least do tell
if it is a new track or one of our favorites?
Cyrus: No’p I am not gonna tell, it is a
surprised... Wait for it...
Team agent: So, the current album is
dope, how do the masses get hold of it?
Cyrus: Simple really if you've got Internet
access, you can get most of the tracks from the album for free on downloads.
Primarily on www.reverbnation.com search for ocyrus, alternatively you can go to www.soundcloud.com also
search for o’cyrus. For those seeking a hard copy of the full length album, for
now the easiest way is ordering via email on phumelelez@yahoo.com or zphumelele@gmail.com and mokhomolel@yahoo.com.
Team agent: So on this new single,
what can we expect that is different?
Cyrus: NOTHING... LOL. Nah just
kidding, what I can promise you is that artistically I'm on another level of
creativity and the production is banging yal!
Team agent: Aight then we'll look out
for that... Don't forget Team Efforts on your video shoot call us up, yeah. God
speed on everything you do homie.... 1852...

SHOT’S FIRED
It’s exciting times for hip hop heads,
since the beef between Tupac and Biggie, R.I.P to them. Canibus taking shots at J.Cole in fact Canibus
don’t just take few shots; he brings the whole army of lyrics just to murder
him. Personally I like J.Cole but when canibus called him “J.Clone”, that was
it for me. At first I thought typical Canibus, and then heard J.Cole was
actually dissed for giving props to him. Even though Canibus apologised
afterwards, he did an interview with the website ‘HIP HOP DX’ expressing his
anger or more like disappointment towards his “fan” J.Cole. In the article he
starts off by saying that “Cole hasn't properly been "paying homage"
despite naming him as an influence.” He goes on to express “Jay-Z protégé bigs
him up in interviews as one of his favourite rappers and plays his older
material, but then says that because Cole doesn't support his more recent
material.” Does that mean J.Cole was only flattering one of the greatest
lyricsist in the game. This is the Canibus take on the whole situation “by him
playing my older material owned by my former label dating back to 1998,
subsequently overlooking my current works and contributions which directly
benefit me now, he is treating me less like an artist that has, and continues
to contribute, influence, and inspire an even younger generation of MC’s coming
up, and more like an artist that has physically passed on already”. Hmmmm, all
I got to say is J.Cole, think before you mention names and who that name belongs
to. Let’s continue to pay homage to people that paved the way for us in respect
of who they are today. Once again hip hop calls for us to pay ultimate respect
to each other. Big up’s to Canibus, not for dissing J.Cole, but for making sure
that a battle brings across such issues that affect us, that is a true veteran
move.
