Rapper/mogul Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter has entered into a deal to sell clothing company Rocawear for $204 million in cash to the Iconix Brand Group, a company that licenses and markets such popular brands as Candies, Joe Boxer, Mudd, London Fog, Ocean Pacific and others.

The deal, which was announced today, (Mar. 6) could also net Jay-Z $35 million in Iconix stock, if the Rocawear brand meets certain performance requirements over the next three-five years.

"Iconix is pioneering a new brand management model and by combining Rocawear with their platform, my team and I can focus on our strengths in design and lifestyle
marketing." Jay-Z said. "I'm also looking forward to working with Neil Cole and the Iconix organization on other brand development opportunities."

Jay-Z will continue to be in charge of all product development, marketing and licensing for Rocawear, which boasts annual retail sales of over $700 million.

The rapper will retain his stake in the operating company the manufactures all of the Rocawear men's apparel line, and the mogul's two partners, Alex Bize and Norton Cher, will continue to ran the manufacturing company.

"This is the largest acquisition Iconix has made and Rocawear is a brand that is increasing in market share and has extraordinary potential for growth," said Neil Cole, Chairman and CEO of Iconix Brand Group commented. "The leadership team is already in place to fulfill our mission and we will maintain complete continuity within the business by having Jay and his team in charge of all product development, licensing and marketing. Jay and his partners in the operating company that manufactures all of the Rocawear men's apparel, Alex Bize and Norton Cher, will become our licensee for the core business. Iconix will add talent and resources that I believe will
help make Rocawear a billion dollar global brand. This acquisition will be transformative for Iconix in terms of its scale, the diversification it brings to our portfolio of brands as well as having someone as talented as Jay-Z joining our company and the many synergies that could bring."

Iconix is forecasting that Rocawear, which was founded in 1995, will generate almost $43 million in royalty revenue during the first 12 months of the agreement.

Iconix and Jay-Z have also reached a deal to form a new brand management/licensing company that will debut a new luxury brand titled The Shawn Carter Collection, which is due in stores in 2008.

The deal is expected to close this month.

Hello Everyone,

Anyone know any Salsa dancers/schools in Lagos?


It is something I really want to pick up this year.


Don't ask me why, I am not tellin'

But seriously, I need some pointers in the right direction!

G, good guys are in short supply thatz why your girl prolly turned to the NET.


Besides, you in the 21st century. Do not box your self into thinking you can only meet a good guy in real time.

I am not also saying all that glitters is gold on the Internet.


My cousin met his girl on the Internet( a fellow NIGERIAN i must add) and they married.

The Internet is a medium to meet people.

Whether the person comes across as fake, real or downright ugly is another thing.

But the thing is I have in the past 2 years made some very good friends over the Internet.

People I would NEVER have met in real life.

Don't let your pretty brain underrate the power of the Internet.

It's function is not only to send emails and read up on your favourite music stars.

DR BALOGUN,

STICK TO SELLING YOUR PSPS AND PS 2. IF YOU WANTED TO HUMP AROUND AFTER WEDLOCK WHY DID U GET MARRIED.

LIKE NAS SAID GUESS U STILL IN YOUR SECOND CHILDHOOD.


YOU TOO BLATANT & IRRESPONSIBLE TO BE MARRIED.

Ugly face nice body or Pretty face nice body?

Ain't to much I can do with a pretty face?

Gimmee a chic with stacks in the front and back and a body like an exotic hourglass and she can have a face like Whoopi Goldberg after a trailer ran over it.

Fine faces are for posters.

Give me something I can feel (humming En Vogue "Giving him something he can feel, "

CALABAR MAN your name says it all! Maybe you should quit the day job and go into something else!
U-know-wat-I'm-saying?

I understand the domicialliary account part. But what kind of postage do they use to send my check?

Is it safe? You all know how adventurous our postmasters can be?

If you or anyone that you know fits the following descriptions then he or she is a Sucka emcee…

This applies to Hip Hoppers everywhere; Nigeria and beyond!

1. An overall corny, wack, or swaggerly challenged individual that has no presence, personality or business attempting to do anything other than lose their virginity. (Doesn’t have to rap either.)

2. Still has a name that begins with MC in 2006.

3. Steals bits and pieces of others styles, rhymes or overall swag and incorporates them into his own trying to upgrade his/her wackness. (Also known as “Biting”)

4. Fabricates fantasies of a criminal lifestyle and portrays a “tough guy” image in effort to gain “street credibility” and respect, when in reality the only laws they’ve broken regard are traffic violations.

5. Goes into a recording studio and tells a producer I want a song that sounds “just like such and such.” (FYI: The majority of the industry does this. See 3)

6. Raps in loud aggressive tones and seems tough on records when they have been documented victims of robberies on multiple occasions. (Anybody can get caught out there, but more than twice? Daaamn homie!!)

7. Sold drugs unsuccessfully and only began to get money after the record deal but still uses the cliché “Im not a rapper im a Hustla” to seem more gangsta and have an excuse to be less nice lyrically. (When did it become more cool to be a drug dealer than a multi-platinum rap star??)

8. Buys top notch fake ass jewelry because fans and media will automatically think its real. (Can you say monzenite?)

9. Appears on DVD’s brandishing firearms at a helpless camera lens while yelling threats to try and trick you into being scared of them. All in an attempt to take attention away from their garbage ass raps. (Refer to the average street DVD)

10. Rides around with 4 armed muscle head bodyguards in a bulletproof car, vest, hat, and pants but picks fights with pedestrians at crowded police infested industry parties.

11. Sends cheap shots and challenges at other rappers and then turns around and apologizes the next day. (U already know! Haha)

12. Rehearses raps with his/her entourage and comes to rap battles with prepared chants, ad-lives, routines and choreographed moves looking and sounding like the Harlem Boys Choir.


Now that you have the official documentation on the characteristics of a SUCKA emcee, this is how you can identify a TRUE emcee.

1.A Mover of Crowds or Master of Ceremonies.

2. A rapper who surpasses the level of just “rapping” and applies artwork and next level skill to his craft.

3. A trendsetter whose opinions, style and taste is so hot and original it influences others to want to live and act and even dress the same. (Example. Pac had dudes wearing leather vests and getting their nose pierced)

4. Creates his/her own lane, is comfortable being themselves and doesn’t need to explain themselves or try to duplicate or “Bite off” someone else to be accepted.

5. A musician that understand Hip-Hop and uses his/her voice as an instrument.

6. One who can study the game and be the voice that has been missing.

To sum this up, it’s a lot easier to be a sucka emcee than a TRUE emcee. If everyone could do it, they would. Unfortunately we are not all blessed in the same capacity. So if u ain’t got it STOP IT. Don’t be a victim of sucka emceeism. Stay true to yourself and keep it a 100.

If the revered Hip Hop Capital of the world, America can boast of wack emcees. It is not suprising for me that I can count the real in 9ja on one hand!

A favourite rapper for me is very vague, what is the criteria-lyrics, record sales, longevity, collabos, flow, charisma, street credibility what?

I think a different post is needed before we talk about favourite rappers.

A post like what makes a good rapper, before he is deemed favourite.

If he don't cut the cloth of hip-hop, he is not supposed to be recognized.

I am seeing a Bow-Wow in here and I'm like , ok

Yall check my post after this if your favourite rapper fits in this category, he should be shot by the sniper called REAL HIP HOP!

That is if he ain't in it.

Belie Dat

Thanks for helping out but i need more clarifications. Will they send me a cheque in Nigeria ? Will I get my post (I hope not)

Will I need to open a domiciallry account?


Seun you have adsense ads here. How do you cut your checks?

Gboagboade no criteria for "the man" you claim to be looking for. If you were for real you wud have come out to clear the air.

There is so much drama brewing from your one-liner.

No seious girl will post a one-liner and claim to be on a man-hunt.

My take guys, this girl is as fictitious as Pamela Anderson's Boobs!

Either that, or she got a vibrator and she don't need your guys anymore!

Hello,

I see a lot of adsense ads from Google on Nigerian sites. I know you can earn cool cash based on how much traffic you get to the site.

I want to know how Google pays website owners in Nigeria (if they do) I hope this is another blacklisted venture for legtimate internet bizmen who want to earn doe from Nigeria.

If anyone earns via earn sense from Nigeria please let me know how you do it.

Thanks!

If by any chance you had an opportunity to spend some isolated time with a celebrity who would that person be? Naturally, I expect people to want to hook up for amorous reasons.(like me) But it will be interesting to note those who also want to hang out with the most beautiful minds!

On the physical side, my pick would be Shakira. I could spend a lifetime humping that multi-racial sexpot!

On the cerebral tip, my top pick would be Nostradamus

Your testimonies will probably leave you with an STD if you are not careful. You are messing with no 1 Aids ridden (statistically proven} ethnic group in 9ja.


If you are looking for pleasurable sex, by that I mean making love and not f^cking, Hausa girls are it.

Yoruba and Igbo chics make bleeps!!!


HA-HA

Stick to the topic people. I know am gonna start something else with what i just said.

But it is the darn truth. At least for me it is.

HYIPS offer the easiest ways to make money and also to lose it, when it comes to making money on the Internet. But there are people who still make money from these scams regulary.

For those who do not know, HYIPS are High Yield Investment Programmes that CLAIM they invest your money in business opportunties and are willing to share profits with you. They daily, weekly, monthly, profits as high as a 100%!

All they need from you is that you provide funds and sit back and wait for profits to be paid into your account.

But most of them are scams waiting to run with your money once you invest.

But there are some genuine programmes out there. Furthermore, since there are thousands of scams out there and the strong chance they cannot crash at the same time,it is possible to still "scam the scammers". That is pull your money out before they actually run away with it.

Let's start a thread. Anyone with tips regarding HYIPS or questions about this profitable but highly volatile business is welcome.

Not too many people gave the gunners, a chance against the Red Devils. Newspapers, home & abroad were awash with tales of how Arsenal was going to get slaugtered on the Old Trafford slab.

What a contradiction of events! Man Utd were luckly to escape with just a goal loss.

The Gunners play well with or without Henry.

If you MAN UTD fans want to go to Europe better work on dat mid- field in January.The only person there of note is Scholes and even he is past his prime.

O'shea is inconsistent and Micheal "the panic-buy" Carrick will only give away balls in his half as if he was donating to charity.

Arsenal is on the run from now on.

Youthful talent or no youthful talent.

Team in transition or watever.

We have shown dat pretty football can still do the damage.

I feel sorry for any English team that meets us from here on.

Looing for A friend? There are loads of them here. I don't really think you need to announce. If you new and you observe for a lil while you will soon see who your friends are!

Oh ok i see, you are all the states! You are not really feeling the hearbeat of Naijo hop. Like us wey still gey kampe!

Datz understandable then!

El-Dee greatest. rapper? Kudos for being part of the music-paving group trybesmen. But even at that he came second after Freestyle on the lyrical tip!

If he is the greatest where do the likes of Mode 9, Ruggedman, The Thoroughbreds,OD AND Terry all fit in?

He is one of Nigeria's Hip Hop Legends.

But definitely not the greatest.

Come to think of it, there can never be a greatest, at least not now

Our music is still in shape, don't let anyone fool ya that we are there yet!

I thot this was supposed to be dating or meet-up zone? I guess we actually date ass, tits and other female body parts rather than female beings themselves!

Since tits and ass are cropping up in the date zone!

You people take skepticism to new heights. I should go ahead and just paste all my details for all to see on the Internet and prolly send me some anthrax huh? No thanks!

This is the site for all you doubting thelmas and thomases.

I thot i was jus giving talented people a chance.

www.eastendnig.com

If yall think you are all dat and then some, you are full throotle on dat extinction road!

badboi_inxs112@yahoo.com. We already have presenters.

England CANNOT win the World Cup ! They cannot even pull top performances in the league. Imagine a Rooney injured and you still carry him to the world cup, put him in an oxygen tent to speedy up healing!

A team like argentina, brazil, italy or even spain won't give you a look in. A team like England hinging their hopes on a 20 year.

Phew that explains how good they are i guess!
