Dr. Dre x Best Buy. JImmy, Dre and the head of Monster were all on hand to officially launch Club Beats in Best Buys across the land. At the event in NY yesterday Dre tells the press and fans how Club Beats all came together.

It’s funny how every pic or video you see of Jimmy he now has the Beats headphones around his neck. But really…is it even plugged in to anything?

VIDEO: Snoop Dogg talks to Forbes about small business

Yeti — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:52:18 +0000

Snoop Dogg x Forbes. All these recent interviews of hip-hop stars on money and business related news shows just proves my point that the hip-hop artist is transitioning more and more into the hip-hop business man within pop culture and using music as the leverage point. In this interview with Forbes Snoop gives insight on how to start and maintain a small business.

Snoop is no stranger to small business as he has started everything from a dog clothing line, human clothing line, porn video company, film company, grocery store concept and probably fifty more businesses that we don’t know about. Oh and of course he is running Priority Records now for EMI Music Group…which hopefully will be big business for the Dogg Father.

PICS: Jermaine Dupri’s Nu Pop Movement watches get Nelly & Bow Wow on board

Yeti — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:38:49 +0000

Jermaine Dupri x Nu Pop Movement. Readers know we tend to hate on Jermaine Dupri…but that’s all in the past now. First I give him mad props for hitting the press circuit and really pushing how much social media has helped his own business and hip-hop in general. He’s becoming a positive spokesperson for the industry and we like he even more now because his watch company Nu Pop Movement is pretty legit and the designs are fresh.

And what better way to promote your own watch company than to get artists like Bow Wow and Nelly on board. Here are two new “casual” promo shots of them showing off the goods. Check the official Nu Pop site here. See Nelly’s pic after the jump…

Pharrell collaborates with Visvim for outdoor jacket & vest collection

Yeti — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:37:08 +0000

Pharrell x Visvim. Some how Pharrell finds the time to do all of these collaborations and still make music. The latest here is with Japanese brand Visvim for an outerwear collection called Moncler V designed by Pharrell. The collection features an assortment of all-black jackets, and includes a “pacifist” version of the bulletproof jacket (pictured) and each jacket in the collection is built with textiles from Bionic Yarn, the textile company that Pharrell is part owner of.

Pharrell took an equity stake as part owner of Bionic Yarn back in Q4 of 2008 and has since utilized his own textile company to make many of the collections in his various fashion business ventures including a line of BBC/Ice Cream shirts. Now that’s a business man there as he makes money both from the selling of the materials and the finished goods.

Black Eyed Peas & Victoria’s Secret team up for promotions

Yeti — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:35:42 +0000

Black Eyed Peas x Victoria’s Secret. Some hip-hop purists say BEP killed true hip-hop and music in general. While it’s hard for us at WoooHa to disagree with that, we can’t deny the branding power they have generated with mainstream Corporate America. “Hip” enough to be considered cool but “safe” enough for the suit and ties to feel comfortable around.

So it’s no surprise when we heard the news that BEP and Victoria’s Secret have teamed up to promote and perform at various fashion shows. Here is their first performance for the lingerie company at a secret fashion show. Fergie must have been in heaven with all the hot ladies around. They performed “Boom Boom Pow” while the ladies walked the runway.

VIDEO: 50 Cent claims he has hip-hop blogs all figured out

Yeti — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:11:27 +0000

50 Cent x FUSE. In this interview with FUSE, 50 claims he has all of us hip-hop bloggers figured out and that everyone just follows each other. Too bad he doesn’t show what blogs he is talking about in the clip but most of the time artists go after blogs is when they get disappointing news.

So what…his album didn’t sell like “Get Rich or Die Tryin” but honestly…no way units are going to like they did back then. If anything though, this interview once again proves the power that blogs have in today’s hip-hop industry. Via: NahRight

I love how the big artists get trailers for their upcoming albums like they were movies. Jimmy and Interscope have a cash cow on their hands with Gaga so why not spend some of those marketing dollars eh? Actually Iovine might have to shift some media budget over to her costume budget. Who knows what insane costumes she will come up with this time.

Michael Jackson cologne based off his DNA hitting the market

Yeti — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:37:09 +0000

Michael Jackson x My DNA Fragrances. No offense to MJ but who in their right mind would want the DNA of a deceased person sprayed all over their body? Not me. But in case that’s your thing then we have just the product for you. Apparently a company called My DNA Fragrances will be introducing “M” a fragrance using the DNA of Michael Jackson described as “composed of the lightest, but most volatile essences.”

DNA tests were performed on hair clippings provided by celebrity hair collector John Reznikoff which were then used to develop the scent. I know this sounds like a “Chappelle Show” skit but it’s legit. MJ can now be sprayed all over you for the price of $59.99. Check the official site here.
