ERYKAH BADU AND JANELLE MONAE PERFORM AT THE BEACH ON GOVERNOR'S ISLAND





Erykah Badu performed at the beach on Governor’s Island in New York on Tuesday night, as part of her 4th World War tour. Word is her new album, New Amerykah, Part II (Return Of The Ankh), will be out before the end of year. Janelle MonĂ¡e, The Grammy-nominated singer also performed and spoke about her deal with Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose Bad Boy label signed her in 2007.

Monae says her deal with Bad Boy isn’t the traditional label-artist kind. ''It’s not like, artist discovered by man, artist belongs to man, she says. It’s a partnership. He’s not involved in writing any songs or producing or anything, she says of Diddy’s role. He’s just like an endorser. He really loves what we’re doing as a company and as a group of artists. He trusts my ears and that’s inspiring.''

Jamie Foxx Concert August 1, 2009 @ The Arie Crown Theater (Part 1, 2 and 3)





QUOTE OF THE DAY

''And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies''

Tupac Shakur

BRAND NEW VIDEO: MAXWELL - BAD HABITS

President Barack Obama's Vulcain Cricket Anniversary Heart Watch



I reported that Swiss watch maker Vulcain was going to present President Obama with a Vulcain watch, and here is finally what the specific watch looks like. We know that Barack Obama typically wears his Jorg Gray 6500 watch most of the time, but he does have other timepieces. Vulcain has been giving out watches to US Presidents since the 1950s and the latest timepiece they've sent to the oval office is quite stunning. President Obama received a stainless steel Vulcain Cricket Anniversary Heart watch. The watch is part of the classic Cricket watches named as such for their loud alarms. The mechanical Vulcain Cricket V-18 movement is one of the loudest (if not the loudest) mechanical watch alarms on the market. The alarm complication is easy to set via the upper crown on the right side of the watch using the central ring on the dial. The watch also features a beautiful partially skeletonized dial - now popular on many luxury timepieces. The case is 42mm wide and water resistant to 50 meters.

The sides of the watch case feature a larger coined edge, while the overall styling is classic with the modern touches being reserved for the dial. The watch is easy to read and a good mix between formal and sporty in style. I happened to actually think the style suits President Obama quite well. Funny enough the black and steel tones of this timepiece match those of his Jorg Gray 6500 watch - creating similar looks. Let's hope he wears the watch on nice occasions. The retail price of the stainless steel version of the Vulcain Anniversary Heart watch is about $6,500. It is unclear whether versions such as the pictured one with the message to Barack Obama will be available at all to the public, as it is likely a one-off version reserved for the President himself. The Vulcain Anniversary Heart watches come in various tones as well as in 18k gold.
