No hace falta ser un freak del hip hop para reconocer un buen disco y a un buen rapero. Hablamos de 'Ready to die', el disco de Chris Wallace, más conocido como Notorious B.I.G. Un album que rememora el mejor Rap norteamericano de los 90 que tanto se echa en falta en los rappers de hoy en día. Con esto no quiero decir que la música hip hop actual sea una basura, pero es, sin duda, la vieja escuela la que impera sobre los vástagos de este estilo.

Si antes hablábamos de la Diosa de Ébano, Naomi Campbell, una de las tops más influyentes de la década de los 90, nos reinventamos para hablar de otro tipo de modelo, Lara Stone, que viene de la mano de una nueva moda totalmente diferente, en la que sus predecesoras han dejado una mella irreparable que obliga a utilizar otro tipo de reclamo, y por lo tanto, otro tipo de modelos.
Lara Stone reúne las 2 "pes" que el mundo de la pasarela requiere:
Loewe, Yves Saint Laurent, Max Mara, Prada....no sabías a qué tienda entrar, bueno sí, a las que te dejaban pasar los y las azafatas que cuidaban las puertas. Una vez dentro las dos cosas que podías hacer eran seguir las infinitas piernas de las modelos que se paseaban por ahí o buscar las bandejas de los camareros para recoger tu copita de champagne.
Por el Festival Internacional de Venecia no sólo han desfilado las primeras películas en su edición número 68, sino que la alfombra roja de La Mostra ha dado paso hoy a algunas celebrities como Madonna, Marisa Tomei o Kate Winslet.

La actriz Marisa Tomei que protagoniza la película de George Clooney, 'The ides of March'
Si el Festival Internacional de Venecia se rindió ayer (1 de septiembre) a los pies del cuarto filme de George Clooney 'The ides of March', donde recupera su faceta de compromiso político, hoy ha sido Roman Polanski el ovacionado con su nueva obra 'Carnage' (en España: 'Un dios salvaje'). Pese a que el director no estuvo, su reparto, casi al completo, defendió la película: Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz y John C.Reilly. Aunque el punto de color lo puso Madonna, que presentaba, fuera de concurso, 'W.E', su segundo trabajo como directora, que ha sufrido duras críticas que han calificado la historia de Wallis Simpson de tonta e insustancial.
He has one of the most personal voices of the hip hop's world. His appearance breaks all the molds of Mc, but when he opens his mouth to spit rhymes, you disassembled.
From the West Coast, he started rapping during his junior high school years and dabbled in the underground rap battles. It wasn't until November 2008 when Soul Khan started taking his rap battles and career in music seriously. He moved to Brooklyn, New York, got a job at Fat Beats and joined the underground hip hop group Brown Bag Allstars. From 2008 to 2010, Soul Khan amassed a large fan following as he quickly become one of the best battle rappers in the Grindtime, Smack URL, and King of the Dot leagues.
Brown Bag Allstars
1. After searching for "Soul Khan" on the internet I gather that your impact on the world of hip hop has been through the battle circuit. In Spain battles are called “Cock-fight”. Could you tell us about your first battle and first experiences with them? >>My first battle wasn’t on Youtube and it was in high school or junior high (I cannot recall) and I was probably not that good because I had just started freestyling. My first battle on camera was a Grindtime match against a good kid named Yellow Rat Bassterd. It didn’t go very well for him. 2. It made me laugh when I read that you doubted on call you "Queen of England", is it true? What is the origin of you artist name? If you want to reveal it.. >>My name was originally longer, as “Khansenses,” but I shortened it because it looked and sounded stupid.
3. The reception from the fans has been incredible, I guess coming from the battles has made things easier, but why do you think you've liked so much?
Do you expect this success? >>I didn’t expect it, but I am grateful for it. I guess my music reached the right ears and made a good impression. That’s all I can ask for.
4. They say that who ever doesn't listen your music is lost one of the greatest battle rappers of our time. What does this praises for you? Did you think you were going to have this reception?
>>Again, I didn’t expect this either, but I am certainly not upset by it.
5. You have a particular style of voice that makes you even more special. Do you think your music is different to that usually associated with hip hop? >>Nah. I’m pretty conventional in a lot of ways, but I think I just do new things with old tools. I don’t experiment just to experiment because that usually sounds terrible to everyone except the artist and avant garde hipsters.
6. From what I have read, it seems that in some sense, you renounce the battles. Where do you find most comfortable in the circuits of battle or in a music studio? What things you get from each? >>I prefer making music. It is more creative and it does more for the individual listener. 7. Do you think your battling person can damage your artist person? >>Yes, which is why I stopped battling. 8. You are one of few artist who offer their music free download, why do you do? Do you think this could hurt you when it comes to making money with your music? >>Hah! Not all of it is free, just some of it. Sometimes you need to give away a treat to entice everybody to come to you for the commercial product. 9. I know you belonged to the group of hip hop, Brown Bag Allstars, now you walk by yourself, could you tell me the good and the bad of being in a band and your point of view since you are only a member of your group? >>I still work with Brown Bag regularly. I wouldn’t be where I am without them and I love every bit of music that we make together. It’s easier than working by myself. 10. You're going to finish a Resolution EP with producer Brown Bag, Marink and your track "Soulstice 3" is part of a series of 4 tracks are not all hip hop, so, Towards what music style you bring your music? Do you think it's necesary to stay away from pure hip hop to find your own style >>Hip hop wouldn’t exist without other music, so I have to go outside of it to find inspiration for my sound. It’s essential.
11. In Spain there is a love-hate toward American hip hop and American rappers. Maybe for envy, or because we do not have much history of the world hip hop and "mass" of society has some stereotypes of rap that many laugh (the dress, the cockiness and attitude …) What do you think everything revolves around the hip hop? Would you change things?
>>I mean, hip hop is a proud culture. It has a lot of braggadocio in its DNA and you cannot so easily extract that. I think hip hop usually unifies more than it divides nations, though, so that’s the positive side, if any. 12.Do you feel more adrenaline in battle or in front of an audience who only listens to you?
>>In a battle, I just went braindead and shouted at my opponent. In a show, it’s more focused and intense, but at the same time, it’s exhilarating to see people enjoy what I do.
13. What kind of music you have in your ipod? >>Everything good. A lot of love songs and a few sad ones. 14. What do you want to feel the people who listen to your music? >>I hope that they enjoy what I do next. That’s all I can ask for. 15. What are your future plans (records, concerts, tours)? What is your next stop? >>I’m doing shows around the country, making three EPs, another album, and more music with Brown Bag. 16. Do you know any Mc or Spanish hip hop group? >>I sadly don’t. As a very verbal guy, it’s tougher for me to appreciate hip hop that I don’t understand. 17. I read your twitter a guy recognized you on the street in NY, do you found it strange? >>It happens on a regular basis, so I’ve gotten used to it. What else can I do? It’s an honor. 18. Could you tell me your favorite song and your favorite video on your album?
and why? >>My favorite song is probably 'Minyan' right now because it’s the most personal song, not in terms of my history, but in terms of my feelings about the world. And my favorite video is still 'Fahrenheit' because it’s so raw.
19. Finally, could you talk about your next project?
>>I would, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise. Haha. Nobody will be able to guess what I do next.
