The man behind-the-lens of some of your favorite shots on the internet takes time out to profile The Kid Daytona. Check as he gives a brief background on how he became the artist he is today.

“We Are the World was good the first time, but this remake, it was a big mistake though well-intentioned”

Before Weezy makes Rikers Island his new home this Tuesday, he talked a little about his new Twitter account with MTV, explaining the origins on his name, beseeching the public for more followers than Drake and shouting out all his kids and babymamas. He tickles me!

If you haven’t been following the Young Money general, you can do so here. His tweets are about love: falling in love, spreading love, etc. Below is my take on things

Of course I already knew this! I keep my ear to the streets in my hometown, but I refuse to become one of those unscrupulous bloggers who don’t respect artists’ privacy and solicit people to snap pictures. Plus, that’s what celebs tend to love most about being in JA - the fact that we’re paparazzi free and marijuana friendly These pics however come courtesy of Drizzy himself. He’s busy working on his first single in Jamdown, and I’m wondering if he also met up with Mavado since he tweeted the following last week. “Gully God” is the other name used for the dancehall sensation. My whole life would be made if a collaboration is afoot.

A few more of Drake’s snapshots from Jamaica are after the jump!

If you thought modeling Judy Jetson’s ho shit gear and sticking pins in the knees of miniature Chris Brown dolls was all RiRi could do, chew on this. On a recent visit across the seas, the pop star decided to teach one of the Gliteratti’s founding members, Alan Carr, how to dance. Well, dance like they did in dancehall 15 years ago. Watch as she demonstrates the bogle, butterfly, and dutty wine…kind of.

Props to Samora

The end of Hov’s shows where he says “I see you” to the people in the audience has always been my favorite part. I silently pray he can see me throwing up my Roc signs at the tv. On the Dallas leg of his Blueprint 3 tour, Jay delivered his signature shout-outs, gave away his hat to one lucky fan and offered up his chain to another. Who said the Illuminati only cares about themselves? I kid, I kid!

Daytona: In the first episode I take VIMBY to the South Bronx, where I grew up… Check some of the homies, and talk about some of the things I used to get into back in the day. Then later I go check out this loft party for the “Girl Soldier” event with LOLA and Gin Lane. And lastly I give you a sneak peak of what me and Legendary Producer Bink! have been cooking up in the studio!

Farmers have it rough. So much of their livelihood depends on the fickleness of Mother Nature, who we all know can be one temperamental bitch. And so it is that British farmer Nigel Britten found himself in a bit of a pickle - birds wouldn’t let his farm be great, (and by birds, I mean those creatures with wings, not Tiger’s “friends”). The solution came to him the other night as he and his wife watched Lady Gaga in one of her dazzling ensembles at The Brit Awards.

‘We were laughing at Lady GaGa’s outfit and that extraordinary wig and talking about how scary she looked. My fiancee Marti joked that I should make a scarecrow which looked like her. I laughed and then it occurred to me it was actually a very good idea…. We’d used traditional scarecrows but the old ways just don’t seem to work any more, so we have had to become more and more inventive. We put her up last week and she’s had a remarkable effect. The birds must be terrified of her because they have stayed away….I know it’s not a traditional scarecrow, but I suppose we have to move with the times. I don’t know whether it’s the dress or the hair but the birds daren’t approach the field anymore.’

Think about it from the bird’s point of view. Would you approach something that looked like a golden Dracula from the sky? Well, okay then.
