GRAMMY NOMINATIONS: Further Proof The Academy Is...
ISH KNOWS…I should’ve guessed the Grammy Recording Academy was going to pull off some BS like this after seeing their line up of performers for their nomination concert (i.e., Lady GaGa, Rihanna, Ludacris, etc.). You would’ve thought you were watching the nomination concert for the MTV VMA’s. And, that’s exactly what we got with today’s big news: Kanye West...

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 Quick Thoughts
2 of my Fave Ladies (ie, Adriana Lima & Erin Heatherton) + my Fave music artist (ie, Kanye West) = Heaven!!! Victoria’s Secret deserves a Humanitarian Award for creating a show that caters to BOTH women & men equally (even if it’s for different reasons haha). You can see mad vids, pics, etc. via their official site here.
Some thoughts:

Realest shit I've heard in a minute:
“The problem wit guys that be complainin about bitches is that they too fuckin soft…they treat bitches like women and women like bitches. MANY men cant tell the difference between the two. It’s the reason why they treat ‘em so nice and get nuthin out of it. Disrespect is respect to bitches. When you respect a bitch, its disrespectful to them. If they really wanted...

The Paradoxical Commandments
Had to share these powerful principles with you:
The Paradoxical Commandments by Dr. Kent M. Keith People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do...

Your competitive advantage
Are you going to succeed because you return emails a few minutes faster, tweet a bit more often and stay at work an hour longer than anyone else?
I think that’s unlikely. When you push to turn intellectual work into factory work (which means more showing up and more following instructions) you’re racing to the bottom.
It seems to me that you will succeed because you confronted...

WatchThe Tanning Effect with Pharrell Williams (Part 3)
ISH knows…that’s just kray kray that music produced or written by Pharrell in 2003 accounted for 20% of radioplay in the U.K. and 43% in the U.S. That’s NUTS!!! Also, he touches on how Biggie and Scarface were the inspiration for the creation of the first ever line of Louis Vuitton eyewear. That’s dope.

Jay-Z a Snake & Occupies his Bank Account w/ Greed
So, in case you didn’t know, Jay-Z wore a shirt over the weekend in support of the #OccupyTogether movement that said “Occupy All Streets.” Dope initiative; dope to see him support. BUT, the shirts then went online FOR SALE; FOR PROFIT. No biggie right? Given the fact that Jay-Z’s gone on the record supporting the movement, one would assume that at least some portions...
