Bernie's Favorite: Jim Jones + Manhattan + 2012 Audi = ____________

See for yourself below....

The first installment of All About Audi is done, where they take four New Yorkers, self employed by the music industry and allow them to drive around in a brand spankin new Audi, from Atlantic Audi in West Islip, Long Island, NY *coughs* (Still surprised about West Islip allowing this) Once I get done with the video is done, then I'll let you know what I think.


The video looked good, and it was stronger than the content. From an automotive standpoint, it felt like "The Day and the Life of Jim Jones" and they gave him an Audi to drive around in. It was very much less about the Audi, plus it was obvious that the "voice over guy" (I wouldn't call him a narrator as slow as he was reading. Even I speak faster than that.) It was cool, mainly because it was Jim Jones which kept my interest.

"I'm gonna make the A8 the new car", says Jones. Best part was when Jimmy struggled a little to park the car. But he admitted that the best feature about it was the voice navigational system and that it was his first time pushing an Audi. All in all, he seemed to be impressed, but the dude riding with him didn't ask him too many questions about the car (which means he probably didn't know too much). The passenger was more interested in being seen with Jimmy than to ask about the car.

Now, at the end, Jim stated that he wondered if the purpose of this was to just drive it or to buy one. Well...

He ended up buying one from Atlantic Audi and taking it to 819 Customs in Deer Park, Long Island, New York (A town over from where I grew up). And I just added 819 Customs to my radar...

P.S. You know I love New York rappers *smiles*. Balllllliiiiiinnnnnn......

"All About Audi" Starring Jadakiss, Jim Jones, and Maino

A new webseries called "All About Audi" is set to debut soon. The series is about four hip hop industry movers and shakers, ironically all of them are from New York, and they get to drive either an Audi A7 or an Audi A8 on the streets of Manhattan. Each car has a webcam or two and they let you'se know their opinion about the car.

I know I listed three out of the four people above. We have: Harlem's own Jim Jones, Brooklyn's own Maino, My Personal Favorite- Yonkers' Own Jadakiss (told you I love rappers with raspy voices), as well as DJ Bobby Trends (He's on Hot 97, and I was just as clueless as you were about him. They could have picked a more known DJ... you know, more known outside of the Tri-State area).

Great concept because you're getting to hear an opinion about the car from a regular-- well almost regular person. Meaning, you're not hearing it from a guy who has been writing for Car and Driver for 50 years. I do wish that they added a girl into the mix. Nicki Minaj is from New York, but the odds of her doing this for free are slim to none. Maybe if they did this back in '09, she would have done it.

Enough of my rambling, here's the official trailer.

Of course the irony in this is that Audi of West Islip is sponsoring this. You have to be from Long Island to understand what I'm talking about.

P.S. I imagine Jim Jones being the craziest driver out of the four.

Ridin Music: Look What Lloyd Banks Done Started

I know the title is grammatically incorrect, but I'm rolling with it.

(Photo from This Is 50.com)

One third of G-Unit, Lloyd Banks, collaborated with my rapper Ray of Sunshine, Juelz Santana for the song "Beamer, Benz, and Bentley". The song took off like fire, and then a bunch of rappers had to do their take of the song.

Maino came up with "Trina, Kim, Or Nicki"



Joell Ortiz Did "Nissan Honda Chevy"


Then he REMIXES a REMIX and throws Jim Jones on the track "Nissan Honda Chevy (Remix)"



There's more remixes but do you really want to hear 500 versions of a song?

So someone mixed some of the remixes together and came up with the Hi-Def Remix which has Lloyd Banks, Joell Ortiz, Fabolous, Maino, Papoose, and Juelz Santana) (They should have named that the New York Remix)



And then Lloyd releases an actual official remix which features Ludacris, The Dream, Yo Gotti, and Jadakiss



And in case if you forgot what the original version sounds like
