Last night New York City’s Terminal 5 hosted the final stop of the Hennessy Artistry Tour which included surprise performances by Bilal, Don Omar (viva reggaeton!), Consequence, Karen Wheeler of Soul II Soul, Q-Tip, and Queen Latifah, as well as mixology scientists, Common and The Roots. We arrived a little later than we wanted to, but were able to get the full scoop from our main man about town The Good Reverend Dr., who coincidentally has probably attended more Roots concerts than anyone who isn’t in the actual band.

Video: Pitbull f. Pharrell, “Blanco”
- story THE FADER
Looking at the the tracklist for the Fast & Furious soundtrack, released on Star Trak this week, it’s not hard to imagine Pharrell and Chad sitting on their dirtbikes laughing about all the money they got for what appears to be a lot of leftovers—we wrote about Fam-Lay’s (now Shark City Click) “Head Bust” in early 2007! But then we realized none of this stuff ever actually saw the light of day on an actual release, so maybe it’s not so insidious after all. Plus, not only does the soundtrack represent for a lot of the reggaeton/Latino artists we’ve had in the magazine, a couple of them, Don Omar and Tego Calderon are in the movie…acting…probably better than some of the actors. Wouldn’t be the first time! Here’s the video for Pharrell and Pitbull’s single off the soundtrack, one of FIVE Pit tracks on there, in which they offer some POV gentleman clubbing.
