Blackberry Messenger 5.0

The wait is over...Blackberry Messenger 5.0 is here!!!

BBM 5.0 was originally leaked in July and a ton of people were quick to download. Unfortunetly, to their dismay, the leaked version had a slight...scratch that....HUGE glitch and deleted everyone's contacts. I for one was lucky enough to hear about the leaked version after the glitch kicked in...therefore problem averted....nice.

Research In Motion (RIM) the maker of Blackberry phones has enhanced the BBM a lot and made it more user friendly. Remember the trouble you had to go through to add contacts? Well, RIM created a feature that uses a barcode system to add contacts. All you do is place your Blackberry phone over someones else and it scans their barcode and adds them into your contacts!


Here's a quick vid of how it works



BBM 5.0 also comes with a slew of smiley faces and icons to express yourself way more than before.


New BlackBerry Messenger 5.0!

WhutsGood Events: VMA After Party At Pranna

Last night, WG attended a private VMA after party hosted by MTV's own Sway, at Pranna. This RSVP only event was filled with the sexiest of the sexy and young industry taste-makers. We wasted no time and arrived promptly at 11pm to avoid any wait. After about 10 minutes in line, the line stretched from a few feet to around the block.

Once inside, we were greeted by the sounds of DJ Profile and then later on by DJ Beverly Bond. Both kept the party going all night. It was definitely the it spot of the night.

Today, the Hip-Hop business model has changed to fit the troubling economic times. The days of artists signing deals where the labels can solely can dip into the profit of record sales is over and reaching triple or quadruple plus platinum record sales is now a mere record label’s pipe dream. We can attribute that to the millions and estimated BILLIONS of dollars lost to illegal downloading.



To remain profitable the genius' over at major that labels are figured out a plethora of ways to continue to profit from artists regardless of diminishing records sales. How, you ask? It's simple; investing in artist that independently have their own movements without a label. Souljah Boy, Jeremih, Drake just to name a couple. These artists have radio ready singles and were already on tour performing for packed venues and receiving thousands way before ever signing to a label. The addition of a label to the artist’s equation just enhances the artist’s buzz by taking what was already there and showcasing it to the masses. THAT ALONE, has gotten the Hip-Hop game, to say the least all "f'd up." Investing in the potential of an unkown artest is done. To be signed now, there must already be a huge buzz around the artist.


Now, where does newly signed Roc Nation (Jay Z's label) artist J. Cole fit in this newly formed business model? Nowhere, and that's why he is the next to blow.


http://crackofdawn.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/j-cole.jpg

J. Cole, 2007 St. John's University graduate and originally from North Carolina, has no huge buzz, doesn't have a popping radio single, he's not receiving thousands per show, yet he's the FIRST artist that Jay put on his label. All due to his lyrics. There was no popping single on the radio no front page magazine spreads...just rhymes. By chance, Hov happened to hear J. Coles track "Lights Please" and a couple of weeks later received a call to setup a meeting with the "Big Homie" himself and was signed shortly after.

Coming into to the game competing with the likes of other "freshman class" artists such as, Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, Wale, Kid Cudi, Bobby Ray (formerly B.oB.), Cole has successfully created his own lane. Quite frankly, he's a southern rapper with an NY flow and it's especially apparent since his biggest influences are Nas, Pac (originally from NY) and Canibus; three NY based lyrical emcees.



"Grown Simba" off his mixtape "The Come Up," hosted by DJ On Point, effectively portrays the lyrical ingenuity which the young MC possesses.

WhutsGood.com is definitely looking forward to hearing more from J. Cole.

The Air Yeezy's Have Landed

Photobucket

Wanna be the coolest kid around your way? Cop the Air Yeezy's!!! Guaranteed to push your status into that upper echelon of cooldum that your multicolored Uptowns and matching fitted couldn't get you.

The hype around these sneakers has been felt since Kanye hinted towards the possibility of coming out with a sneaker last year. There hasn't been this much anticipation for a sneaker to drop since the Jordans made their debut in '84 (yup, Jordan's have been out since '84).





The masses came out heavy to buy these sneakers. People even camped out for days just to be the first ones with a pair.

The "College Dropouts'" kicks are reported to retail for $215. Didn't hear anything about them only releasing a limited amount, so I'll just take my time before I get myself a pair. *enters credit card information*

Word on the street is that Kanye took way to much credit on those Complex Mag pics, so the tech heads at Complex took evasive actions of "suspect" proportions.

Flo Rida Still Riding The Top of The Charts

Photobucket

Flo Rida has once again Flo'd (pun intended) his way to the number one spot with his latest single "Right Round," off of his sophomore album R.O.O.T.S. (Route of Overcoming the Struggle), released March 31st.

"Right Round," produced by chart topping producer Dr. Luke (Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" and Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone") debuted at 58 then soured to platinum in only a week!

Using the same formula from his debut album Mail on Sunday (2008), Flo Rida has infused Hip-Hop lyrics with an elctro/pop sound to get bodies dancing and heads nodding throughout the majority of the album.

With a flow similar to Bone-Thugs and Harmony mixed with a little Twista, The Poe Boy crooner has figured out a way to stay on top by letting go of the all-to-common "gangster rap" mentality and instead chose the dance (sales) freindly route of pop music.

Can't knock his hustle.
