MJ Video Weekend VI


Let's take a little time out for the samples today. Needless to say, there are plenty to choose from: some of which range from forgettable to borderline offensive, and some of which, like the Kanye-helmed seminal Jay-Z anthem "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" achieve greatness in their own right.

On 2001's "I Want You Back" sampling Izzo, Kanye became the most important hip-hop producer of his generation, and Jay-Z became the rap god named Hova, laying down one of the most potent verses of his venerated career. They did it for their culture.

What I dont realize is how youre not even much more well-known than you might be now. Youre just so intelligent. You know so a lot about this topic, produced me think about it from so several various angles. Its like men and women arent interested unless it has some thing to complete with Lady Gaga! Your stuffs great. Keep it up!

I’d be inclined to be of the same mind with you here. Which is not something I typically do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

Nice post :) - I threw up a shortened version of this (more like a summary) on my blog, but definitely gave you credit with a link. Do you have any advertising spots on here? Hit me up on the email I left if you do.
