My favorite rapper/actor is back Andre 3000 is back not with new music, so we’ll have to settle for his new Gillette commercial. In the new ad campaign for the shaving company, Andre 3000 plays one of the three ‘masters of style.’ Joined by actors Adrien Brody and Gael García Bernal, the three promote some of Gillette’s shaving products. Take a look at Andre 3k getting a check doing some product promo below:
When you think about MCs from Queens,NY one of the first names that comes to mind is Nasir Jones . His style and lyrics were cultivated in the famous Queens Bridge Housing projects and for years he as served as a proud ambassador of the Q-Boro. Nas even returned to his old stomping grounds to record is latest video, “Nasty.” However, Nas wasn’t actually born in Queens. Take A Tour Of Nas’ Birthplace The prolific Virgo was born in Brooklyn Jewish Hospital on September 14, 1973. According to his father, Olu Dara , a young Nas cut his musical chops on the streets of BK. “I thought that he would become a great trumpeter because he was playing to audiences in the streets of Brooklyn when he was three or four,” he told The Source magazine in an August 2004 cover story. “He used to draw a lot of crowds [on Eastern Parkway]. It was fascinating to me. But his lip was becoming distorted so I made him quit. I remember him being very disappointed when I told him to stop playing.” Needless to say Nas has done ok without the trumpet. But maybe it’s something he’ll pass it down to his son, Knight.

In a game where superstars of each generation set and break new records every year, it gets pretty tough to be the first to do anything, but not impossible. After all, black athletes may dominate the field but the coaching staffs (and the owner’s boxes) of the NFL have always been pretty slim on African American representatives. So when the Indianapolis Colts met up with the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI, the NFL had the chance to fill in a few gaps and did so with style. FACT: Dungy is the only NFL player since the AFL-NFL merger to intercept a pass and throw an interception in the same game While the fantasy leaguers were harping over Peyton Manning VS Rex Grossman or that the Colts hadn’t seen the Super Bowl in thirty-six years (damn!) The fact that Colts coach Tony Dungy and Bears coach Lovie Smith became the first two African-Americans to coach in the Super Bowl kinda went under the radar. But when the final whistle sounded, the Colts were now the champions, Manning was now the MVP and a former un-drafted defensive back named Tony Dungy was now the first ever African-American coach to win a Super Bowl. And even though the NFL has a lot of ground to cover as far as adding a bit more brown to the owners boxes, we’ve got to tip our hat to Tony for still finding and conquering another first.
