Bernie's Favorite: All About Audi: Jadakiss

And it's listed as my favorite not because of the All About Audi webseries, but because of the one who was driving the vehicle all over New York, Jadakiss.

The final installment of All About Audi was released on my birthday (January 26) starring one of my favorite, favorite industry guys, Jadakiss. If you had the pleasure of meeting him or spending time with him like I have, you'll understand why he is one of the most respected in the game. Watch the video below, and I'll give my usual criticism of the whole shebang.



To be perfectly honest with you, I only enjoyed this because of Jadakiss. Is it me or did they repeat the features of this car from previous episodes? If you're going to sell a car, there's more than just the options. Yeah the navigation where you use your finger to spell things out is interesting, but so is the horsepower, torque, top speed, 0-60, sound system, comfort of the seats, leg room, I could go on. It's like the slow-reading narrator is selling the options so you'll get the top of the line as opposed to the base model, but he's not selling Audi as a whole. Why should fans of hip-hop care about a car manufacturer that isn't popular within the hip-hop industry? That's what All About Audi was lacking. After watching all four episodes, I'm still not convinced that I would want an Audi, and I'm being real.

Jadakiss didn't play with the options, but he did say that he loves to drive and how amazing the steering wheel is (as he groped it) as well as the driving experience was so amazing that he forgot that it was raining.

I bet the narrator is cousins with the Audi salesman, that's the only reason they were able to get the clearence to do something like this.

P.S. The sound quality sucked.

"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.

Recapping Episode Eight of Funkmaster Flex's Full Throttle (with The LOX and Maybach Music Group)

Last Sunday was the season finale of Season 2: Funkmaster Flex's Full Throttle. He decided to go out with a bang by having both Maybach Music Group (Rick Ross and 'em) and my personal favorite- The LOX (Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek).

So Flex and Rick Ross had a bet going on that had to do with basketball. Knicks vs Heat, and of course, the Miami Heat won. The Knicks just became a decent team, but to put them up against the Heat was just stupid. To each its own, however professional basketball isn't exactly New York's strongest point. Streetball- yes. Professional Basketball- we're getting there. Flex decided to give Ross a brand new white Ford Explorer with 24 inch custom wheels, Sony sound system, Custom Interior, Baer Breaks, and a new front bumper.

Like I mentioned before, I was excited when the LOX walked into the door. I loved them since I was a little girl living on Long Island. They didn't discuss any type of cars, but I enjoyed the interview, simply because it seemed more genuine. I can't really talk about the LOX segment, because cars wasn't discussed, they came to just chill with Flex. But who doesn't enjoy Styles, Sheek, and Jadakiss.

Finally the Maybach Music Group comes in, and they discuss music first. Ricky Rozay informs everyone that they are developing their own wheel company. Flex settles up on the bet and presents Rick Ross with the customized Ford Explorer. The finished product looked good, however, Rick Ross doesn't strike me as a Ford Explorer type of person. That's like giving Lil Wayne a Dodge Durango.

Funk Flex Full Throttle - MTV Shows

Bonus Clip: Jadakiss and Sheek give hustling advice.

Funk Flex Full Throttle

I've actually been lucky enough to hang out with Jadakiss several times, and he's an interesting person. From advice to storytelling- he has a way to make you want to stop and listen.

Honestly speaking, I expected more from this series. I didn't think that this show would have been the TV version of his Hot 97 radio show, but in a way, that's what it was. It was more about who he could get to be on the show as opposed to it being about cars especially with a title like Full Throttle.

P.S. If Jadakiss comes out with his own coffee, I'm supporting it.
