Rolling Stone:What music have you been listening to lately? What have you discovered, what speaks to you these days?
President Obama: …Thanks to Reggie, my rap palate has greatly improved. Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert. Malia and Sasha are now getting old enough to where they start hipping me to things. Music is still a great source of joy and occasional solace in the midst of what can be some difficult days.
Im a little bit late to post this. This is John Robinson& Lewis Parker discussing the album "International Summers" which was released by a Germany based label Project Mooncircle in July 2010. I had a chance to listen to the album & it got some nice joints on it. My personal favorite is the lead single off the album "International Summers".The artwork from this album cover is very hot & well put together as well.

This was at Fat Beats the last day it was open. Fat Beats will still be operating online . So you will still be able to purchase your vinyl. I would like to thank Fat Beats for everything they have done for me through out my career.
Iconic hip-hop music retailer Fat Beats will reportedly close its doors for good next month with the shuttering of the New York and Los Angeles locations. After 16 years, Fat Beats has announced the closing of the legendary label's two remaining retail locations in New York and Los Angeles. Fat Beats will celebrate the legacies of the stores, which are scheduled to close in early September (New York: September 4th, Los Angeles: September 18th) by throwing a series of blow-out sales and tribute parties open to the public during their last weeks. Fans can check www.FatBeats.com for updates.
DJ Premier Says: "The closing of Fat Beats is just like one of my friends passing away," DJ Premier said in a prepared statement. "They promoted vinyl at its highest degree for the culture of good music, and that makes it more difficult to say goodbye."
DJ Eclipse says: "Anyone that's ever been to Fat Beats knows that it was much more then a record store," longtime manager and underground hip hop king DJ Eclipse told The BoomBox. "Other places claim to host 'where hip-hop lives,' but we really did live, eat and breathe Hip Hop. It was a meeting place for artists, DJs and customers alike. We took pride in promoting and pushing the indie artist that the average person may not have known about. Unfortunately in these times we are suffering from both the state of the music business and the economy. As sad as I am to see the retail portion of the company close I'll always remember the great in-stores we had here and fun times working with the staff."
