I haven't forgotten about the rest of the Detroit hip-hop blog; I'm just trying to snatch up some exclusive tracks from the rest of the producers/artists I'm profiling. If I can get the ones I'm thinking of, you guys are definitely in for a treat.

But for now, I've got a decision to make. I've always been a huge gadget head; when other junior high students were lugging around school planners, I was rocking the Sharp handheld organizers. The kid sold ringtones in high school, call me Sagtown's Jamster. I read Sharper Image catalogs like Andreas reads black history. If you're talking to me and I'm not holding either my iPod, Blackberry or laptop in front of me, then I must really care about what you have to say. Now there are two new gadgets I want to get this month, but I can only spend the bread on one. I need y'all help on picking one.

T-Mobile Blackberry Curve

I've already got a Blackberry right now, but I have the 8800, which is only slightly older. Getting the Curve would keep all the Blackberry capabilities I have now (ill e-mail, my who's who list of industry contacts, Internet, GPS, etc.), but it would add Wi-Fi internet (which works better than the regular T-Mobile EDGE network), a 2.0 megapixel camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack (a regular jack, like on an iPod or computer; not the headset jack other phones use), and just something new in general. Also, the gold version of it is the most baller shit ever © Dave Chappelle.

or...


160 GB iPod Classic
I know, some of y'all are probably tripping when I say 160GB, but hey - I copped an 80GB black iPod a year ago, and it's full. Thanks to the likes of Shake, being on mailing lists of various record labels, and the glory of my bootlegging web sites (please, don't ask for URLs; feds takin pictures ©DJ Drama). Once I get this, I'd transfer everything from my semi-immaculate current iPod (second to those owned by niggas like Shake and ?uestlove), sell that one as-is (anyone looking to cop? 80GB of movies and music, including full seasons of Boondocks and Afro Samurai, exclusive music straight from the artists, playlists of all your favorite producers, etc.), and (hopefully) never have to cop another iPod in my life. J-23, is it worth it?

So what should I cop? I'm leaning toward the Blackberry now and the iPod around Christmas time, but I'm not sure.
