Today marks a truly unfortunate day, as Shakir Stewart has passed away.
Just earlier this year, Shakir was named Executive Vice President of Def Jam Recordings. Prior to his promotion, he served as Senior VP of A&R at Def Jam since September 2006 and as VP of A&R the two years prior.
Shakir passed away earlier today as the result of a suicide. More details are available at the moment, however given the unfortunate nature of this situation, I choose to leave it at that and simply extend my prayers to his family, friends, colleagues and all those who have had the privilege of being around him.
The music business lost a great man.
Rest In Peace.
This is an off-topic blog post, but I gotta show some hometown love to my city and post this audio from The Masked Avengers, a comedic Montreal radio duo that is notorious for their prank calls.
Earlier today, they pulled off another major prank on none other than Sarah Palin.
Pretending to be French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, they threw a few things her way, like referring to the Canadian Prime Minister by the wrong name and congratulating her on her feature movie, “Who’s Nalin’ Palin” by adult entertainment empire, Hustler.
Needless to say, she didn’t catch on.
Below is the official press release (yes.. there is a press release for a prank call) as well as the audio of the prank:

One of my favourite sites online, Alltop.com, is known as a digital magazine rack for nearly any topic you can think of.
That’s the quickest way of explaining what it is, but for a more detailed explanation, read this post I wrote a while ago, or just watch this video:
Whether you’re Democrat, Republican or Independent, you cannot deny the inspiration that is Barack Obama.
Moreso than just being a politician, he is living proof of an idea.
An idea that represents progression and the belief that ANYTHING is possible. An idea that “if you believe, then you can achieve”.
Many of us have faith in the idea of forward movement and progression, but for most, this is merely blind faith.
LOL! Wooooooooowww. I can’t stop laughing at this video.
Akon, Devyne Stephens, Steve Rifkind and others were goofing around and dancing to Akon’s “Right Now” in Steve Rifkind’s office at SRC Records. Devyne starts it all off with a goofy little dance, then some friends jump in and join in on the fun.
The best though, is when Akon’s bodyguard starts dancing at 2:45 into the clip. He gets into a funky groove and then busts into the funniest dance you’ve ever seen.
Quick heads up in case you’re watching this at work: you WILL fall to the floor laughing when the bodyguard catches his groove at 3 minutes in. Guaranteed!

Eminem Is Back. What Does That Mean For Asher Roth's Career?
The past few days have been interesting.
Last week, Eminem had a release party for his new book, “The Way I Am”. During the event, Shade 45 (Eminem’s radio station on Sirius Satellite Radio) played a new song from Em called “I’m Having A Relapse”.
Ever since the song spread throughout the net, I’ve been noticing a lot of people talking about the effect it will have on Asher Roth’s career.
