Music video
The music video for "Gangsta" was directed by Adam Powell and Tinchy Stryder, and is approximately four minutes and seventeen seconds in length. It was uploaded to Stryder's YouTube channel on Thursday, May 26, 2010. The video finds Stryder in two different intermodal containers, an office, and a dark parking garage, standing in front of his Gold Record wall plaque, wearing a Varsity Jacket from Star In The Hood, later changing into a Jay-Z black colored Roc Nation T-shirt, boasting, over turgid beats and cyber-synths, about his Twitter feed "f***ing with some anthems" and "having meetings with the president", a line which he bellows at every opportunity and is later joined by Tinie Tempah, who uses the same lyrics that he used in Stryder's song "Game Over". Stryder closes the music video by entering his white colored "Rolls-Royce Phantom" car, where he is accompanied by a female, who is believed to be Jodie Connor, and then his "Rolls-Royce Phantom" car drives out of an intermodal container. The video has now reached over 1.5 million views on Stryder's YouTube channel.
Dell Inc. is an American privately owned multinational computer technology company based in Round Rock, Texas, United States, that develops, sells, repairs, and supports computers and related products and services. Eponymously named after its founder, Michael Dell, the company is one of the largest technological corporations in the world, employing more than 103,300 people worldwide.
Dell sells personal computers (PCs), servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, computer peripherals, HDTVs, cameras, printers, MP3 players, and electronics built by other manufacturers. The company is well known for its innovations in supply chain management and electronic commerce, particularly its direct-sales model and its "build-to-order" or "configure to order" approach to manufacturing—delivering individual PCs configured to customer specifications. Dell was a pure hardware vendor for much of its existence, but with the acquisition in 2009 of Perot Systems, Dell entered the market for IT services. The company has since made additional acquisitions in storage and networking systems, with the aim of expanding their portfolio from offering computers only to delivering complete solutions for enterprise customers.
Dell Publishing, an American publisher of books, magazines and comic books, was founded in 1921 by George T. Delacorte, Jr. with $10,000, two employees and one magazine title, I Confess, and soon began turning out dozens of pulp magazines; everything from penny-a-word detective stories and articles about the movies, to even romance books (or “smoochies” as they were known in the slang term of the day).
During the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, Dell was one of the largest publishers of magazines, including pulp magazines. Their line of humor magazines included 1000 Jokes, launched in 1938. From 1929 to 1974, they published comics under the Dell Comics line, the bulk of which (1938–62) was done in partnership with Western Publishing. In 1943, Dell entered into paperback book publishing with Dell Paperbacks. They also used the book imprints of Dial Press, Delacorte Books, Delacorte Press, Yearling Books, and Laurel Leaf Library.
Paperbacks
Dell's earliest venture into paperback publishing began because of its close association with Western Publishing. William Lyles wrote, "Dell needed paper, which Western had in 1942, and because Western by this time needed printing work, which Dell could supply in the form of its new paperback line. So Dell Books was born, created by Delacorte of Dell and Lloyd E. Smith of Western."
In physical geography, a dell is a small wooded valley. Like "dale", the word "dell" is derived from the Old English word dæl.
