    When PHARRELL & NERD Dissed LISA FORD! #ThrowbackThursday

    The following is a reprint from 2008 from a story I wrote on my Blogger site when I first started out as a freelance music journalist and celebrity interviewer for today’s #ThrowbackThursday.  – Lisa Ford   ALL I WANTED WAS MY DAMN INTERVIEW!!  But all members of the press who attended the exciting Future Classic Festival in Miami on Sept. 12th, 2008, stood no chance of getting their story from N.E.R.D, even though I’m sure they would have appreciated a moment of NERD’s time. And there were…

    MACHINE GUN KELLY – ‘Rap Devil’ #EminemDiss (Music Video) via @lisafordblog #Hardcore

    Machine Gun Kelly must have balls of steel to challenge the greatest rapper alive, Eminem. I don’t care how big of a fan you are of Eminem’s, anybody with ears have to admit that MGK’s Rap Devil is hard as hell..just sick..I’m in awe. In the video, MGK holds a symbolic shovel. He appears to be burying Eminem with his lyrics. It’s cuts like Rap Devil and albums like Kamikaze by the one and only Eminem, that keeps Hip Hop as a dominating force in the universe.…

    1PLAYY – “Nascar” (Music Video) Dope Artist from East Atlanta @1Playy_ @lisafordblog

    I was listening to the Rickey Smiley Morning Show last week when they were broadcasting live from Alabama at Alabama State University. Rapper 1PLAYY touched the mic live on air, and for the first time in a long while, I turned the volume up on regular radio. The beat is sick, the hook is catchy, and the energy and delivery compliment each another on his new song Nascar. I’m looking forward to see what 1PLAYY drops next.

    ARETHA FRANKLIN – “Young, Gifted, & Black” (Music Video) RIP #QueenOfSoul

    Aretha Franklin’s rendition of Nina Simone’s “Young Gifted and Black” is a mighty, important, and swinging song by the queen of soul herself. I’m posting it as a tribute to the Queen who passed away today and was called home to heaven. On Twitter, President Obama said it perfectly, “Aretha helped define the American experience. In her voice, we could feel our history, all of it and in every shade—our power and our pain, our darkness and our light, our quest for redemption and our…

    "Santo Domingo, why do they take so long to invite me again? Why does it have to spend so much time, "said the artist when greeting. By this time, he had already sung, from behind the stage, "Circus solitude", leaving his exit for "Ella", when he left the interior of a mobile wardrobe. "The last time was, how long ago? Three years; do not allow it again." - Ricardo Arjona

    I am so proud of AMARA LA NEGRA for jumping into the entertainment scene full force through her saucy style and breakout role on 'Love and Hip Hop Miami'. Amara La Negra has released the video for "What a Bam Bam," directed by Montoya el Duro, which follows La Negra through a festive Miami pool party. “What a Bam Bam” samples Sister Nancy’s classic dancehall staple “Bam Bam,” a savvy intergenerational hat tip to another afro-diasporic pioneer, says remezcla.com. And now we have access to…
