10/12/2011  |  No Comments

10/12/2011 If you’re a fan of Jay-Z you’re pretty much a fan of engineer and mixer Gimel Keaton, better known as Young Guru. Ok will maybe I am alone on this. But I will say if you’ve listen to Jay then I am sure you’ve heard his name shouted out over a track. However we still have those living under a rock so I will put you on. Young Guru is the legendary in house engineer for Jay-Z (roc-a-fella/rocnation) since 1999. Behind every rap megastar, there’s a very talented engineer and Young Guru is that for sure. Guru sits with Allindstrom.com in part one of their “It’s In The Name: Young Guru” interview. Guru breaks down his non-contractual relationship with Jay-Z and how working on Watch The Throne was a totally different experience for him. He also talks working with J.Cole and what we can expect from Jay Electronica. Peep the video above. more

For someone to have never gone to college, let alone never completed high-school. To have a college course solely focusing on you as an entertainer is MAJOR!!! Noted educator and author, Michael Eric Dyson, is now teaching a class at the prominent Georgetown University, based solely on Jay Z. The course, “Sociology of Hip-Hop: Jay-Z” is a 3 credit course offered this semester. The course covers Jay-Z’s book “Decoded,” Adam Bradley’s “Book of Rhymes,” Zack O'Malley Greenburg’s “Empire State of Mind,” as well as other articles and films about hip-hop in general. Regarding the course Dyson states “We look at his incredible body of work, we look at his own understanding of his work, we look at others who reflect upon him, and then we ask the students to engage in critical analysis of Jay-Z himself,” I know that closed quickly. To be able to discuss your favorite rapper for 3 hours and receive college credit is dope! Peep the video above as Dyson speaks on it briefly. more
