November 14, 2013
Shaq-Fu roaming “Brick City” high school hallways with Hip-Hop notable Reggie Noble (aka Redman). Above: Shaquille O’Neal in his new Reebok “Brick City†commercial; the four-time NBA Champion (15-time All-Star) visiting his old high school in Newark (New Jersey, USA) to convey a thoughtful message… eventually making his way round the way to hoop and hang with some fellow Newark natives, Redman included.
“Playing here wasn’t a privilege, it was a dream.†– Shaquille O’Neal
A trip down memory lane. And just because, let’s go further down that block and meet up with Chip Fu (still doing it in the “Paint” himself…see earlier post), Moc Fu, and Poc Fu (after the jump). Can We Rock?

Witness The Birth Of Nissan 3E At The Tokyo Car Show (Video)
November 13, 2013
Online. Linked in. Nah, not like you’re thinking. This is waaaay hotter tech than a ‘job networking’ site. Nissan 3E glasses, when development has been completed, will be jacked into the ‘Net AND linked into fellow 3E wearers… transmitting cam footage, sights and sounds in real-time. Person-to-person experiential communication like this will allow you to see (and hear) what I’m saying (and viewing) at the same damn time!
Check out the cool way the prototype will be used at the 43rd Tokyo Car Show. The glasses will take you there, whether you’re there or not.
Wiz Khalifa – “The Plan” feat. Juicy J (Video)
November 12, 2013
Wiz Khalifa’s new single “The Plan” featuring Juicy J is one of my favorite joints off of his O.N.I.F.C. album. I’ve had this song on repeat cruising through Atlanta or just working out in the gym. I’ve said it many times on my twitter page ad nauseam. The video isn’t quite what I envisioned in my head after hearing the song over & over again, but that’s not to say its bad either. It’s just that, creatively speaking, the lavish lifestyle videos have been done many times over & this particular video could have gone in another creative direction. It’s still all good & still one of my favorites from the Pittsburgh kid’s latest album. Now if we can just get some dope well-thought out videos for “Medicated” & “Up In It” then I’d really be happy about that.

PBS: See The Largest Racist Memorabilia Collection In The United States (Video)
November 12, 2013
Racist images in the Jim Crow era were used as propaganda to send messages that demeaned African Americans and legitimized violence against them. A visit to the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University in Michigan—home to the largest collection of racist memorabilia in the country—reveals racist memorabilia and messages in all forms, from kitchen utensils to postcards featuring images of public whippings. Among the museum’s collection is a row of caricatures—the Pickaninny, the Tom, the coon, the tragic mulatto, the Jezebel, the savage.
Every piece in the collection had a dual purpose: Reflect existing attitudes toward Black people AND shape future attitudes toward them.
Learn more in Making a Way Out of No Way, episode four of the six-part series, The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Episode four premieres on PBS this evening (November 12, 2013, 8-9 pm ET).
