Big in Berlin

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Heisenburgenschliezen!

Last week I had the good fortune of being in Berlin, Germany during two extraordinary events; the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the MTV Europe Awards. Berlin is magical, wild and by far the coolest city in Europe right now. It’s just bursting at the seams with hip, young, creative, artist types from all over the world. Hopefully you guys were following the MuchNews Twitter page for updates from the show. We caught up with the dashingly handsome duo Brody Jenner and Jesse Metcalfe before they presented on the big show. They wanted all the MuchMusic viewers to know how much they love them and what fun they had at the MMVAs.

Here are a few extra pics from our time in Berlin.

Everyone knows that Jay-Z and Kanye West are total BFFs.

They perform at the Grammys together. They throw up their Roc signs at GQ parties together. They like to wear matching outfits. On his Graduation album, Kanye even wrote a song about Jay-Z called “Big Brother”, so it makes sense that ‘Ye and Jay would inspire each other creatively.

But with his new video for “Empire State of Mind”, was Jay a little too inspired by his little brother Kanye’s video for “Homecoming”?

Jay-Z by Wendy Heisler

I don’t know how many emcees could hold down the Air Canada Centre like Jiggaman, but then again, no other emcee can boast more number one albums than Elvis, can they?

Nope.

Combine endless swag, the Roc Boys band (possibly one of the best touring bands in the biz), a beat-thirsty Halloween crowd and a near endless supply of hits and son… you’ve got yourself a SHAAOOW.

More, plus photos after the jump!

Hooova! Hooova! Hooova!

So, since I died during MOD today, this is the ghost of Wendy reporting. Appropriate, cause it’s Halloween.

So anyway, here are some pics!!

Update: watch the full interview now!

Jay-Z Takes London (Ontario)

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Allow me to reintroduce myself...

Midterm time is a busy period for students. There are a lot of sleepless nights, a great deal of stress and headaches, and a nice pile of dishes in the sink that you know you’ll get to tomorrow. Professors place due dates one after the other, and as much as you keep telling yourself that you’ll work ahead, cram sessions are pretty much guaranteed.

The solution?

Go see Jay-Z live. Duh.
