J Music: The ‘Industry Duet’

So let’s pick up where I left off–

Nick Jonas provides the perfect example of the ‘industry duet.’

  1. His people call Tinashe’s people.
  2. She record vocals over his new single “Jealous,” never actually going in the studio with him.
  3. They meet five minutes before they go to Hot 97 to promote the song.
  4. He barely knows who she is and has zero clue how to pronounce her name, and thus, calls her Tina”shee.”

Is there any other possible explanation for why he doesn’t know how to say her name? Peep it at 1:10. He then avoids saying her name for the rest of the interview.

J Video: Behind The Scenes of Hot 97’s Summer Jam XX

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Ebro Darden since starting my struggle hour and a half commute to work in 2012. This was right around the time Ebro began making guest appearances on Hot 97’s morning show, then just the program director trying to save the show’s ratings.

I have always appreciated his fluid on-air personality and the respect he has in the industry, which makes for better interviews; it’s his lack of tact surrounding some highly-sensitive issues that’s left me feeling some type of way more than once (the U.O.E.N.O. Rick Ross controversy comes to mind).

In the video you see the good and the bad, as Hot 97 gives you a behind-the-scenes look at last year’s Summer Jam through the eyes of “the old man.”

I was hoping to learn something new about the concert production process, which didn’t really happen, but having watched the show via live stream, it was interesting to see what was really going on backstage with the artists. (You have to peep Mariah showing up in the middle of the song she is supposed to perform with a champagne glass in hand (7:42). -__-) Check it out!

Tristan “Mack” Wilds’s New York: A Love Story has received very favorable reviews, catching the attention of MTV, Concrete Loop and Vibe, among others. His debut single, “Own It” is in heavy rotation. And he did it all while using an alias that didn’t leverage his many acting credits as “Tristan Wilds,” including roles on HBO’s The Wire, 90210 and on the big screen in Red Tails.
