Maybach Music ringtone

While I was leaving NYC from the iPhone Madness last week, around the Holland tunnel area, I think I may have spotted Jay-Z’s Maybach. Of course you can’t see him cause the curtains are drawn and yeah they are perfectly like a Picasso painting. For real, press the play button on the Image above. Rumor has it that he has a house in this area and I had seen him in some paparazzi picture on theYBF entering what seemed to be a Brown Maybach. So off course the next thing down I-95 was listening to Maybach Music over and over and dreaming how I will move up from my 350 slk to a Maybach when am ready to be chauffeured around. By the time I got back to Maryland, it had to become a ringtone for my iPhone. Now here is the real sweet part about iPhoneRingToneMaker. I can actually make multiple versions of the same ringtone for my iPhone. So now I can choose if I want the chorus or that ridiculous verse he had on the song.

Back from Ski Vacation

Just recently got back from skiing up in Stowe Mountain  with a great group of friends. Had a lot of fun. I did something new this year that made skiing even more fun. I decided to take my iPhone with me up the slopes and use the ipod feature to listen to music as I came down the slopes using a dedicated James Bond playlist. Being a big James Bond fan I guess I was fantasying being this. Well it way way much better than I thought and flat out cool. Here are some pics.

Partying with Jay-Z, Diddy, Nelly, Usher, Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri at TAO

A boring Friday afternoon was interrupted by a call from a client and close friend who told me to hop on the next flight to Vegas. Since am not into boxing, I had no clue just what the heck was about to happen. Well it was one hell of trip, with the highlight of going to the Jay-Z party at TAO which ended up being a mini-concert featuring Jay-Z, Diddy, Nelly, Usher, Young Jeezy and Jermaine Dupri with 50 cent making a guest appearance.  At one point it dawned on me that I was standing in front of 6 rappers whose total worth is well over half a billion dollars who were straight wild'n out and performing their own hit records. P Diddy was quick to remind us all that we were “seeing something historic”. Putting the whole experience to words is not even possible. However, I have some pics I took you can see here.

What is Jay-Z riding in that video?

The self proclaimed “Mike Jordan of Rap” has taken stunting to a new level. I guess the new standard is riding in something that will never come out? In the new video, Jay-Z is riding in the Maybach Exelero , a concept cart that might never see the light of the day.

See the pics
