Sade: Hip Hop Chimes In About Sade's Greatness

via New York Magazine

Missy Elliott
Watching her sing "Smooth Operator" live! One of my favorite songs. She always sounds just like the record! I'm excited she's has a new album — that's my favorite moment, when I heard she was blessing us with her sound again!

Talib Kweli
My favorite Sade memory is watching her perform Love Deluxe in its entirety at Madison Square Garden. The band (Sweetback) was so tight, and even though she left her spot at the mike only a couple of times, when she did she was so sexy it was magical. I learned a lot about precision that night. There was not a note or move out of place.

Rakim
I grew up on soul music, but when my pops introduced me to Sade just before Diamond Life hit, it was a revelation. That voice and her style just took out even the hardest hood at the knees. "Smooth Operator" may have been a smash for everyone worldwide, but that was my track, and you can catch me referencing what she was trying to get across from Paid in Full up to my new album. Being in the biz for about the same amount of time, I respect and try to emulate how she floats above the industry ... one of the few that can do things on her own terms, knowing her fans will watch out for her. To this day, she's one of the artists I can listen to with 100 percent admiration. I can't wait to get my hands on this album and congratulate her for continuing to build her already iconic place in the world.

Tajai, Souls of Mischief
When I was young, her record was one of the few my mom would play that I would enjoy, too. As a kid, I’d want her to turn off her music so I could hear LL Cool J or someone like that, but Sade and Luther Vandross were two records I dug, too. Sade transcends the age gap. I’ve never seen her live though I’ve always wanted to. I also remember hearing rumors that (famous drug dealer) Felix Mitchell would fly out to Paris to see her shows.

Joell Ortiz
I always think of the song "Ordinary Love" whenever someone brings up Sade, because that song came out around the time my dad bounced. After he left, my mom used to sit in her room, getting high while listening to "Ordinary Love" over and over again for weeks. That was saddest time of my young life. Whenever I hear that song, I well up with tears."

Keri Hilson
My Dad would whistle Sade melodies randomly all the time. As a kid, I used to try to whistle along to "Cherish the Day" or "Sweetest Taboo." He was a real Sade fan and made me one, too! We couldn't be in his car even for five minutes without hearing her voice!

Kanye West
"THIS IS WHY I STILL HAVE A BLOG. TO BE A PART OF MOMENTS LIKE THIS ... NEW SADE ... HOW MUCH BETTER THIS THAN THAN EVERYTHING ELSE"

2009 BET Awards: Creme of the Crop party brings out the stars in Beverly Hills video, photos and report posted

(via press release)

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 -- Interscope Geffen A&M(IGA) Records, Heineken USA, VIBE Magazine, Beats By Dre, and Grey Goose Vodka celebrated the 2009 BET Awards over dinner and music at an exclusive bash hosted at the iconic Beverly Hills eatery Mr. Chow. The most talked-about post awards celebration kept the city of Beverly Hills awake until well after midnight to celebrate the success of several IGA BET Awards nominees and winners. IGA's Keri Hilson and M.I.A. were both winners, for "Best New Artist" and "Best Female Hip Hop Artist," respectively. This power networking dinner hosts Ron Fair, Chairman of Geffen Records, and Troy Marshall Vice President of Promotions celebrated while guests including Bobby Brown enjoyed dinner while drinking a Grey Goose cocktail.

Throughout the night, DJ Phyz Ed, DJ Mars (Keri Hilson's) and Kelly G (BET) played all of the top IGA favorites in the Grey Goose Vodka room. The star-studded guest list included Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole, Soulja Boy Tell Em, Fabolous, Idris Elba, Niecy Nash, Tamala Jones, Vivica A. Fox, Toni Braxton, Busta Rhymes, Elise Neal, Melody Thorton, LisaRaye McCoy, Teddy Riley, Aaron Hall, Orlando Brown, Doug Christie, Ron Artest, April Scott, Bobby Brown, Pooch Hall, Kym Whitley, Sherri Shepherd, Yung LA, Jazze Pha, Keke Palmer, Raven Symone, and many others.

The tables were embellished with white roses and lilies next to silver personal sized ice bowls with chilling Redbull cans as centerpieces. Eleven dishes for dinner were served with several Mr. Chow's favorites including Ma Mignon, Fresh Seabass, Beijing Chicken, and one special dish created by Mr. Chow which was prepared using Frida Kahlo Tequila, fresh garlic and lobster. Upstairs in one of the private rooms, several BET executives enjoyed the festivities, including Chairman Debra Lee and President of Music Programming/BET Awards Executive Producer Stephen Hill.

Around 10:30 p.m. North Camden Drive was filled with every luxury vehicle with talent waiting to get into the most-talked-about post awards party. A white stretch limo slowly drives down the street with BET Awards Host, Jaime Foxx, wanting to attend as well. Celebrities tired of waiting in the valet line, quickly rushed out their car and walked their way to the party including Sherri Shepherd and Kym Whitley while paparazzi followed them to the red carpet.

Invited guests received Heineken branded souvenir coins which were the signature ticket into the party, and the only way into this exclusive, high-profiled event. Troy Marshall, VP of Promotions, showed Fabolous the Dr. Dre 'Beats By Dre' headphones which were displayed at the entrance of the Heineken USA room. Guests left the night with black leather Jordan bags embroidered with the BET Awards 2009 logo which was filled with Akoo clothing brand.

"Another successful year at Creme Of the Crop, we are happy for our label artist and look forward to seeing them again next year," said Troy Marshall.
