Love ‘N Haiti Movement

A number of celebrities are rallying behind Haiti to help the embattled country win a global competition hosted by BBC World News and Newsweek. Wyclef, actress/model Garcelle Beauvais, Russell Simmons, Free (Power 105 FM), Sha Money, Tony Yayo, DJ Whoo Kid, Mona Scott-Young (Monami Entertainment), actor Jamie Hector and singer Black Dada have signed on as ambassadors for LOVE ‘N HAITI, a recycling project in Port-au-Prince that turns everyday trash into energy. LOVE ‘N HAITI – an initiative also championed by President Bill Clinton — is one of twelve finalists in the BBC’s “World Challenge ’09,” which will award a grant to the finalist with the most online votes. The cash grant will help LOVE ‘N HAITI continue its recycling efforts, which aid in decreasing deforestation, creating jobs, and reducing the incidence of floods.

“I’m proud to be a part of this campaign, not only because it’s for my people, but because I care about our environment,” says Wyclef. “All it takes is one vote to make a difference. We need everyone to support LOVE N’ HAITI!”

Death of Auto-Tune Continues…

Live from the Death of Auto-Tune Warfront…

It seems Trey Songz was right when he said Jay-Z started something; Trey did his own version to the song with his Death of Kellz, a diss track to R. Kelly after hearing Kellz auto-tuned track. Other artists have also voiced their displeasure:

On the Wyclef ft Nick Cannon parody song, Mr. Autotune, Wyclef sings “I’m Mister Auto-Tune/if you sing off key/for a small fee I can make you a celebrity.” Listen to Mr. Autotune

Fans of music have also joined the war, with The DOA Team and PAAT (People Against Auto-Tune) Coalition creating a website to fight the cause. They state they have nothing against the actual Auto-Tune technology but would like the sound in Hip-Hop and R&B to go away. here’s the DOA website

Let’s see if their demands are meant.

We will continue to follow developments on the War on Auto-Tune.

Weezy And Clef Team Up With ESPN

Lil Wayne and Wyclef will be behind the mic for the biggest weekend in football but in different ways.

Lil Wayne will serve as a special guest reporter on the red carpet for ESPN while Wyclef will take the stage to perform alongside DJ Samantha Ronson also for ESPN.

It may seem odd seeing Weezy as a reporter, but the platinum selling MC has been moonlighting as a blogger on ESPN’s website and a commenter on ESPN’s 24-hour sports network.

Hopefully when he’s on the red carpet Weezy will annunciate more than he does on his records.
