KANYE WEST x DONDA: A Twitter rant

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

Kanye West took to Twitter last night out of nowhere on a rant about changing the world.  In his rant he talked about changing the education systems and curriculum.  He then called for people to help him make changes and share ideas to achieve such goals.  From there everyone was introduced to DONDA as he gave out an email for people to reach out to him.  From there Twitter went into a frenzy, fans and media outlets began retweeting his tweets and DONDA became a trending topic.  Every media outlet has seemed to report on it and if you Google search Kanye West you will see various links to articles on the rant.  Some have called his rant a good publicity stunt for his new venture, others have said it’s inspiring to see an artist of his stature talk about these issues.  What are your thoughts?

#WeekendRecap – The Cashmere Family’s Star-Studded Weekend

Monday, August 29th, 2011

With the BMI Urban Awards and the MTV VMA’s in town for the weekend, the Cashmere family had no problem keeping themselves busy and entertained.

Alice Han had a great time at the launch party for Skee TV 2.0 and Artist Aaron Axelrod’s pop up display of lasers and SWAT Team on Thursday night.

On Friday, the team attended the 11th Annual BMI Urban Awards at the prestigious Pantages Theater in Hollywood to support Snoop Dogg as he received the BMI Icon Award. Our PR Team worked the red carpet, while some of our other team members mingled and networked at the party and enjoyed performances from a myriad of hip hop legends that included Wiz Khalifa, Nas, Game, Dr. Dre, Daz, and Kurupt, to name a few.

Saturday night was reigned by two West Coast legends, as DJ Quik and Suga Free rocked the stage at Club Nokia for their almost sold-out show. Our very own James Koo was there to watch them (in his words), “simultaneously pimping from opposite ends of the stage.”

N’neka Hite was able to make it to the JW Marriott on Sunday for the 2011 MTV VMA’s where she was able to speak to some celebrities such as Rick Ross and Ron Artest. She was also able to catch a glimpse of arguably the biggest news of the weekend: Beyonce’s baby bump.

Theresa Aufner attended Freestyle Session 14 on Sunday. Here’s how she described the event: “I was impressed by the dancers’ performances, but even more so, I was blown away by seeing two of my favorite producers, DJ Premier and Pete Rock, share a stage and spin a set together.”

Congrats to the winners of Freestyle Sessions, Jinjo Crew, and the runner-ups, Renegades Crew.

Our very own visual production extraordinaire Whoopi, had the privilege of doing the visual effects for DJ Jason Bentley (LA’s KCRW), who opened this weekend for world famous DJ/Producer Deadmau5 at the Palladium in Hollywood.  Whoopi describes his experience: “I was working with the production team that put together Daft Punk’s Alive tour, they were incredibly helpful and fun to work with.”

If you know Deadmau5, you know he has the craziest stage setups!

As you can see, it was yet another epic and successful weekend for Cashmere….and many more to come!
