Grand Puba

And sorry, at that point you lost your right to exist as an organization.

You'd think in a civilized world that's the way it would be, but we got the Grand Puba of the United Nations, you know, fighting once again.

It's always against Israel.

Whatever side Israel's on, he's going to take the other side no matter what.

That stuff seems to happen just about every day.

Then we got Israel Today shared this on Telegram.

Nikolai Mladenov, the Board of Peace, he's the Grand Puba of the Board of Peace, their high representative for Gaza, pressed both Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization on their obligations under U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza peace deal while speaking in an appearance before the U.N. Security Council yesterday.

Mladenov said the process was currently being held up by both sides.

In the '90s, Andy was the vision behind Tommy Jeans, a division of the Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, where he mixed music and fashion together at scale and helped change a generation.

From Grand Puba to the iconic Aaliyah to Usher to Snoop Dogg on SNL, he has styled and dressed some of Hollywood's largest movie stars, rock, and pop musicians.

After a decade of work at Tommy, Andy started a new company called Sweetface Fashions, playing a major role in the launch of J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez and helping build the Glow by J.Lo perfume business, which ultimately went on to gross over $250 million in sales.

He then moved on to create Star Branding, along with his brother Tommy and others, to help support the build-out and creation of celebrity fashion partnerships all across the world.

I, I mean, look it, I have a, a good eye about things, but I really didn't know what was happening.

And he met me in Hong Kong and made changes to the Lotus line, brought it back to New York.

We took the red-eye from LA, and we ran into Grand Puba and the Brand Nubians, and they were decked out in Tommy and Polo.

And at that time, Grand Puba was sh- shouting Tommy out in his songs, in one with Mary J. and was this...

I have a feeling I might learn a thing or two from you today.

One thing I d- I should also add related to beat digging, Dante was a part of production crew, Simulated Dummies, did tons of work with all those artists as we mentioned, Brand Nubian, Grand Puba, LONS, 3rd Bass, Del, who I look forward to talking to you about.

Oh, love Del.

Produced across genres.

I learned a lot from the De La's.

I learned a lot from cats who worked at Downstairs Records.

I learned a lot from DJs and, you know, my man Willie Dynamite and, um, Easy Mo Bee later and, you know, Grand Puba and everyone.

And Grand Puba taught me something very important about digging, was that there were R&B records that weren't quite that old that were equally important when we were making music, like "Nobody Can Be You But You" by Steve Arrington.
