ALAMO QUOTE

Greetings Wemixers.. It's been a minute since my last blog but I'm back !!  Today's quote is : ARE OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS RELEVANT ? It seems that some old school MC's  don't respect the new MC's sound of music. I personally feel like the growth of the music is a good thing. I have a problem when old MC's be hating  & feel the game owes them something.. We may have missed out on the major paper but time is infinite & never stops.. Would Harriet Tubman be hating on African Americans today for her accomplishments ? HELL NO so why can't we Rodney King this Bitch & get along ? LMAO !! I think you must be open to new sounds & styles & stay current.. THAT'S WHAT MAKES A TRUE SCHOOL RAPPER RELEVANTP

PEACE & BLESSINGS

Obama Loves Luda!

Barack Obama Loves Ludacris.

The proof?

Obama is on the latest cover of Rolling Stone magazine, and in an interview with editor-in-chief Jann Wenner, Obama talks about his favorite musicians. He says that the artists who top his iPod playlist include Ludacris, Bob Dylan, Jay-Z and Steve Wonder, among others.

It's all about the L-O-V-E

As you probably know, last week Lil Wayne smashed the Billboard charts with his record Tha CarterIII debuting in the top spot and selling over 1 MILLION copies in a week. That's no small feat - even for a top musician.

MTV.com just posted an artile about Kayne, 50 CEnt and Ludacris congratulating Lil Wayne on his sales.

While in Atlanta, Ludacris told MTV News that Wayne's success was hard-earned. "Wayne's been in the game a long time," said 'Cris, while sitting in the studio with DJ Drama. "I've done records with him. Apart from everything else that's going on, it's well-deserved. Wayne, congratulations. You worked hard for that's sh**, and you deserve it."

A Luda and Wayne collaboration was originally slated to be on Tha Carter III and may still find a home elsewhere. "I know he has a million songs, but we're still trying to find a placement for this song me and Lil Wayne did," Luda said.

Luda is all about the love, and giving props to his friends and fam, so maybe you should too.

Webby Party - It Was Hot

WeMix came out big time last night.  Hosted the Webby Awards after-party in NYC.  Luda presented a special award to will.i.am for his Barack Obama "Yes I Can" video.

Hip-Hop + Chess

You thought you had seen it all?

I think not.

Check this out - RZA is the brainchild of WuChess.  As the site says, "WuChess.com is the worlds first online chess and Hip-Hop community."

As the name suggests, the site is basically a social network for fans of the WuTang Clan and chess to communicate, challenge each other and “train in chambers against the computer to refine your skills.” The site also allows users to play RZA and their other favorite Clan members to games of chess.

“The game of chess, is like a swordfight. You must think first, before you move. Toad style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon. When it’s properly used, it’s almost invincible,” says the Razor.

The only catch - it's $48 for a year of WuChess.

Long time no here from Wemixers !! I'm back by popular demand !!! Today's quote is: ALWAYS LOVE YOURSELF !!  I say this because people let other people determine their self value.. I have a friend who is always looking for approval or acceptance from his peers.. He sometimes let people get him down due to negative responses from others of no importance.. I find myself telling him often to f@#$k what other people say or think.. If it ain't family or close friends who love you, f@#k the haters !! Even when it looks bad, ALWAYS LOVE YOURSELF!!!

Peace & Blessings
