If the internet is good for one thing, it’s creating instant rap sensations (ask Souljah Boy ). Within hours of news that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had died, some creative folks got together and created a loving, hip-hop tribute to the man — all to the beat of Jay-Z’s “What More Can I Say.” But these innovators weren’t the first to recognize Steve’s brilliance in rap lyrics. Below the video, see how Job’s influence was felt by everyone from Big Pun to Rick Ross . (Special shout to rapgenius.com for finding the lyrics below…) RELATED POSTS: Celebrities Tweet Reaction To Steve Jobs’ Death Apple’s Steve Jobs Has Died [BREAKING NEWS] Jay-Z “Prelude” “Befo’ Steve Jobs/made the iPod/Was gettin h*** jobs, we call that intimate.” Big Pun “Brave In The Heart” “Taking New York cats past the stars/First it was Nasty Nas/Now watch me turn an Apple into Macintosh.” Charles Hamilton “Windows Media Player” “You ain’t catch when I said put my Mac down?/Like I got a girl’s top on my lap now/That was mad hot, and mad foul/Now that I said it all here think back now/Mac lip gloss, Mac laptop/Girl’s top on my lap, that’s mad hot.” Rick Ross “9 Piece” “Iím smoking dope/I’m on my cell phone/Iím selling dope/straight off the iPhone.” Gucci Mane “LOL Smiley Face” “Pics on my iPhone/Gucci on her iPod/When she turn around/A** make me say oh God.” Pharoahe Monch “We Go Off” “Pharoahe the god strike the mic hard like Ty Cobb with a bat/Physicist the antithesis of Steve Jobs when he raps, mack.” Young Jeezy “Standing Ovation” “Once upon a time, I used to grind all night (grind all night)/With that residue, that was Ipod white (yeeeeeah)”
After a fight with cancer that lasted over seven years, Steve Jobs died in Palo Atlo, California today. “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being,” said a statement posted this evening on Apple.com, the computer maker’s website. “Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.” Jobs revitalized Apple by transforming smartphones, computers, and media players into objects of desire. He insisted the company put the human experience first, focusing on design as well as technological prowess. Fifteen years ago, Apple flirted with bankruptcy; today, it is one of the most successful companies on earth. Only oil titan Exxon Mobil Corp. is worth more. “He taught all of us how to transform technology into magic,” said John Sculley, Apple’s chief executive in the mid-1980s, and the man who once had Jobs kicked out of the company he’d co-founded. After he was ousted, Jobs endured a decade of exile. But the experience taught him lessons that would, once he returned, help him lead Apple to heights of achievement. “Steve’s big contribution to the computer industry was to take it away from the nerds and give it to the people,” said Bob Metcalfe, co-inventor of Ethernet networking technology and a professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jobs was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2004. In 2006 and 2008, he appeared at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference looking visibly ill, which started rumors about his health worsening. It didn’t help that a few months after the 2008 conference, Bloomberg accidentally published a Steve Jobs obituary. In 2009, he took a medical leave from his duties at Apple to have a liver transplant. Almost two years later, this past August, he resigned from the company he started. Steve Jobs leaves behind a wife and four children: two sons and a daughter with his wife Laurene, and a daughter from a previous relationship. He was 56. Source
Bill Gates, will.i.am, Ellen DeGeneres also remember the late Apple co-founder. By James Dinh Steve Jobs Photo: Getty Images Shortly after Apple announced Wednesday (October 5) that co-founder Steve Jobs had died , celebrities of all kinds — including the president himself — are paying tribute and mourning the loss of the technology giant. “Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it,” President Obama said in a statement. “By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. … The world has lost a visionary.” Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to remember that visionary. “An innovator. Contributed so much to this generation & beyond. RIP Steve Jobs,” the Young Money MC wrote shortly after the announcement. Steve Jobs almost singlehandedly brought the music industry into the future — here’s how. Jobs’ longtime rival in the digital race, Microsoft’s Bill Gates, released a heartfelt statement after Apple’s announcement: “I’m truly saddened to learn of Steve Jobs’ death. … Steve and I first met nearly 30 years ago, and have been colleagues, competitors and friends over the course of more than half our lives. The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it’s been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.” The Black Eyed Peas’ will i am urged : “i hope the youth chooses to be like steve jobs…we need more innovators.” Remember Steve Jobs’ many innovations by flipping through this photo gallery. Ryan Seacrest offered his remembrance with a quote from the businessman himself, writing , ” ‘Have the courage to follow ur heart & intuition. They already know what u truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.’ – Steve Jobs.” Ellen DeGeneres learned of the news shortly after wrapping up her talk show. “I just finished my show and I heard the news about Steve Jobs,” the comedian tweeted . “He was an amazing man with an incredible vision. He changed the world.” Pharrell Williams referred to Jobs as “our modern day Leonardo da Vinci” on Twitter . “From Apple to Pixar, what a great life lived. He will be missed.” Tyra Banks used one of Apple’s many revolutionary products to mourn the news, tweeting , “As I type on my iPhone, tears spring2 my eyes4an amazingMan I never met.

TeamBreezy came out in droves on Friday for star’s New York stop at Nassau Coliseum. By Rebecca Thomas Chris Brown performs during his F.A.M.E. Tour (file) Photo: Getty Images UNIONDALE, New York — If there’s one place where Chris Brown escapes the nimbus cloud of unfortunate headlines that often threatens to rain down on him, it’s the stage. He proved that emphatically when he touched down Friday night at New York’s Nassau Coliseum (capacity 18,000), the midway mark on his F.A.M.E. Tour. Away from his Twitter account, even the hidden dangers of his iPhone , Breezy cleared the brush of his personal distractions, and was simply sublime onstage. Rather than calling to mind his pop&B peers, Brown conjured a late Pop King who also battled bad press during his lifetime. Such is Brown’s command that, four albums to his credit, now even the songs on which he’s only featured seem to become his own. Suited up in a jacket and tuxedo pants embellished with spangly trim, Chris laid into the hook that turns Ace Hood’s “Body 2 Body” from sexy to downright sensual, and had the moves to match. The Coliseum performance space was expansive and divided into three tiers, connected by a series of steps and ladders, with a series of five oversize cylinders at the base, and overhead, a large screen that projected CB music videos as well as a running concert skit that had fans peeking at suggestive messages sent from the star’s phone to the squealing girls amassed in the crowd. “Can I see you tonight?” one of them read). He rinsed off and repeated the same feat for his song-stealing chorus on Big Sean’s bottle-clinking “My Last,” stalking the stage like an MC. By the time Chris got to the slightly aggressive bedroom ballad “No BS,” the white dress shirt and jacket were off, and the squealing had reached fever-pitch. What is it about C.Breezy? Maybe it’s that he’s right at that moment where he’s balancing late-adolescent energy (Brown seemed to bounce on the balls of his feet, his Jordans never quite touching ground) with budding manhood, but he managed to find the perfect dose of sweetness for the down-on-bended-knee songs like “All Back,” “She Ain’t You” and “Next to You,” and then just the right amount of swagger for hard-hitting, dance-heavy hits like “Yeah 3X” and “Forever.” Chris’ tenor is increasingly rich, and on songs from early in his catalog like “With You,” he sounded as heartbreakingly sincere (maybe more so) as he does on the 2007 recording. For his Jordin Sparks-assisted “No Air,” CB asked the ladies to step in for the onetime “American Idol” winner; they were so good with the lyrics, he paused several times, beaming and cocking his head appreciatively. “Y’all tired?” he asked the howling fans after tourmate and frequent collaborator Tyga re-emerged for “Deuces” and a thunderous take on the Young Money up-and-comer’s “Snapbacks Back” (itself a takeoff of Meek Mill and Rick Ross’ spine-tingling “Tupac Back”). “I’m just asking,” Breezy laughed in his Virginia drawl, “Y’all want some water?” Far from tired, the TeamBreezy-devoted, which had basically given up sitting, were fully dancing in the aisles as Brown’s troupe of pros — donning a variety of costumes, from Jabbawockeez-style masks to yearbook-worthy Varsity jackets — for nearly 90-minutes’ worth of straight street dancing. But they truly elevated the art form during the show-closing “Beautiful People,” a transcendent (seriously, listen to it) electro-flavored Benny Benassi production. With the audience bathed in lasers, Chris’ floor team, clad in Martian-meets-mummy-style L.E.D. suits, lit up alternately in florescent light patterns. Brown, illuminated himself, descended the multilevel stage and joined them for one of the finest breakdowns in recent memory. If the F.A.M.E. singer isn’t the finest R&B performer of our generation, he’s certainly gunning for the title. Think MJ would be proud. Apart from getting super assists from Tyga and fellow opener T-Pain, who rolled out his radio smashes on Friday, Kelly Rowland made it a co-ed affair. The former Destiny’s Child princess was on one Friday night: Flanked by a gang of muscled male dancers, she powered through DC smashes, her hip-hop features (“Dilemma”) and solo smashes. Motivation, indeed. What did you think of the F.A.M.E. Tour? Tell us in the comments! Related Artists Chris Brown
Here’s my favorite bushy eyebrowed hottie Jordana Brewster walking along the sidewalk the other day while chatting on her iPhone. Impressive, she can walk and send a text message at the same time. Good to know, that moves her pretty quickly up the ‘Chicks I Want To Marry List’. I don’t know if it’s safe for her to be walking around all by herself like this, there are a lot of creepy people out there. She needs a big strong blogger to protect her. I even laughed at that one… Strong and blogger in the same sentence. Hilarious.
