Joey Bada$$ Finds His Grandfather & A Deeper Sense Of Self After Returning To His Roots In St. Lucia (Video)
How many labels send their talent home? Like home home… across some waters. Kudos to Pro Era (and Cinematic Music Group and Lifted Research Group) for giving us insight into the DNA of an MC with the tools to be a G.O.A.T. one day. But really knowing that the island flow in him is something he has channeled unknowingly, this trip is Joey Bada$$’s opportunity to meet his Grandfather for the very first time.
Stephanie Santiago as ‘Bonita Applebum’ During A Tribe Called Quest’s New York Performance (Full Video)
A Tribe Called Quest opened for Kanye West on the Yeezus tour & most definitely the highlight of their set had to be when “Bonita Applebum” showed up in all her glory. Model Stephanie Santiago set the internet on fire with her appearance during Q-Tip, Phife, Jarobi, & Ali Shaheed Muhammad’s set. There were literally hundreds of internet videos & photos of the event, but this video shot by my homie DJ Rasta Root was clearly the best video in it’s full entirely. Lawd have mercy
Jarobi Is The Guest For A Special ATCQ Edition Of OKP’s “The Questions” (Video)

In a sit down for OK Player, Jarobi speaks on his gig, restaurant biz, music, rumors of his death… You know, typical interview stuff. Hahaa! Good clip though. Watch.

Kanye West Stops By Sway In The Morning To Talk About A Life Without Boundaries (Video)
“Willy Wonka didn’t stop making chocolate because he started making other things… People want to marginalize me from the top all the way to the bottom…It’s people who just want to hear the music that are like ‘don’t work on nothing else ’cause we love your music so much’…”
– Kanye West on ‘Sway In The Morning’
The “Yeezus” Tour is Kanye’s demo tape… his stage play… movie. And that’s just the musical expansion. Above: Kanye West talks to Sway In The Morning about the music, his mentors, his messages, fashion and more.
Brands, boundaries, borders… they do NOT fit Ye. Don’t try it! Try to follow the conversation though. Interesting insights from the man and mogul about music and much more.
Word to the wise: Adjust your ‘focus’ around the 14-minute mark so you can understand how things go OFF THE RAIL! The brothers work it out though. Just don’t try to turn up on Sway either. Just saying Ye.
Think that’s something? Check out the Power 105 Breakfast Club appearance (after the jump).
History: Harry Belafonte On JFK (Video)
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Film and civil rights figure Harry Belafonte in an honest, reflective discussion about the late great U.S. President John F. Kennedy (JFK). Being a close friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Belafonte met JFK as he was campaigning to become U.S. President… who initially came to court the Black vote as a purely political maneuver; not because he truly understood or wanted to help Black folk overcome.
“When I met with John, I was quite taken by the fact that he knew so little about the black community. He knew the headlines of the day, but he wasn’t really anywhere nuanced or detailed on the depth of Black anguish or what our struggle’s really about.â€
– Harry Belafonte To NBC News Correspondent Tom Brokaw
As we reflect on the 50th Anniversary of his assassination, The Huffington Post did an insightful piece – putting JFK, his effect in [Black] history, and history’s effect on the President. The piece declared, among other things, that the Black struggle for Civil Rights would not have been successful had JFK not died like he did, how he did, when he did.

Need For Speed (Trailer)
Two words: ACTION PACKED!
What makes for a great gaming title – “Need For Speed” – should go over to the silver screen with a smash if director Scott Waugh has anything to do with it.

That’s a while away; but this trailer can take your breath away right now!
