Whitney Honored

It's been a rough last couple of days even for me the major music fan. I felt Whitney's death like she was my family member. As we all begin to accept the unfortunate tragedy, please keep her daughter Bobbi Kristina in serious prayer. She was admitted to the hospital the day of and the day after her mothers death for severe panic attacks. I could only imagine what she must be going through at age 18 losing her mother. The Grammy's didn't shy away from it. LL Cool J hosted the event and said a prayer for Whitney. Check out the video and then let's remember Whitney for the beautiful and feisty Queen that she was and always will be.

LL's Jumpin In The Tech Business Too

"This aint headphones, but Dolby does sell some great headphones" LL says jokingly. He was debuting a new product called Boomdizzle. It's a collaboration of his mind and Dolby's technology. LL says the idea was birthed from his crazy schedule and a desperate need to get into a studio. 3 years ago LL assembled a team of engineers to create a prototype that they could present to Dolby and year ago the project was in motion. This is truly revolutionizing music for everyone.

Star Studded Thanks

We've all seen some of our favorite artists get in trouble and end up on the wrong side of the law. But there are several who are making great decisions to help their communities. 50 Cent and his G Unity foundation has been doing a lot for their community. He also has his Street King Energy Drink that is donating profits to help feed a billion people. Russell Simmons was the first to initiate these philanthropic events with his Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation. Others that have joined the fight are Jay Z with his Higher education program The Carter Foundation, Nick Cannon with his youth empowerment with DoSomething.org, Alicia Keys and Common with Aids awareness programs, Mary J., LL. Cool J. and many others. It's nice to see them giving back to those who have supported them.
