Food: The Story Behind The Garlic Crab And Mac-N-Cheese At Nana’s Seafood & Soul (Video)
September 20, 2018
Several references to Gullah Geechee style cooking and cuisine in this. Charlamange Tha God (of NYC’s Breakfast Club Morning Radio Show) talks up that culinary tradition on occasion as a Carolina native. The history is interesting (found a write-up on Zagat, linked here)… and the food looks delicious! Foodie road trip anyone?
Mother and son Carolyn & Kenyatta McNeil of Nana’s Seafood-Soul Takeout restaurant, have taken traditional soul food dishes and spiced things up.

The Miami Style Gods Speak On The Rush And The Danger Of Doing Street Grafitti In Miami (Documentary)
September 20, 2018
Wow. Right from the start, the dude calls his graf ‘vandalism’… NOT art. But still seems driven about it. Real out there in the streets about the spray game; folks can get shot for real (or worse). VICE investigates.
All across Miami, you’ll find countless tags done by MSG—the Miami Style Gods, a graffiti crew that’s been around since the early 90s. And two decades later, they’re still bombing as many walls, highway signs, bridges, billboards, and abandoned buildings as they can find.
VICE met up with members of the crew—who believe their trade is vandalism, not art—to find out why they’re so dedicated to a trade that makes no money and is often dangerous, from altercations with the cops to dangling over busy highways.
– VICE SPECIALS
And this is about more than graf, though that is life to these guys; it’s life in the streets.

Science Fiction: A Planetary ‘Scavenger’ Comes Across NASA’s Voyager I Satellite Launched In 1977 (Short Film)
September 20, 2018
Interesting. Thinking that Gene Rodenberry’s “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” did something similar waaaay back in the day. This looks to be a very update take, certainly it’s own flick though.
And if you recognize the filmmaker Raphael Rogers as the one who did the “Beyond” short film we posted on here a good while back, kudos and a salute to you!

Jay Electronica x Yasiin Bey – “Exhibit A” (Remix) [Live Performance] (Video)
September 20, 2018
If you are a true Hip-Hop head, to say Jay Electronica and Yasiin Bey performed together is enough. So that’s all we’re saying. In case you are not [yet] a head… go ask someone who is to join you as you watch this.

Great song and video! Channeling every bit of that jammy-jam smoking hot dance track energy, and got some Honeyz in the vid (even some guys in there for you lady to look at in case she sneaks up on you while watching). Off Lloyd’s recently-released album (linked below).
Listen To DJ Statik Selektah’s “Tribute To Mac Miller” (Audio)
September 20, 2018
Man. This is an awesome share (and kind of a tearjerker). Statik Selektah knew Mac Miller… pretty much from jump. Check out what he just put out in Miller’s honor and memory. Reflect and remember; maybe learn something new about dude. Celebrate Mac Miller’s life #RIPMacMiller

Recognize you f**king with some grown a** mans!
Any thought you had of stepping to Smif N Wessun – because maybe you thought you thought they’d lost a step – “Let It Go” suckas. The Duckdown duo has still got it. And they are putting out music to let y’all know.

T.I. – “Jefe” feat. Meek Mill (Video)
September 19, 2018
‘Jefe’ in English means ‘Boss.’ You knew that, right? And once you found out that T.I. and Meek Mill hopped on a track together with a title like that, you knew they ‘bossed’ up on it, right?
Well, they did!
(Do matadors walk out to a bullfight to music? Because they should consider this joint for an entrance theme if they do. Banger!)

Barack Obama Is Campaigning For Your Vote This November. And It Is More Important Than Ever (Video)
September 19, 2018
Heart jumped when you read the title, right? Well, of course, President Obama is not running for the White House; the November vote having no bearing on the U.S. Presidency at all. However, he does want every American to vote this Fall. And he tells you why it is so important to do so; even though it is not for him, or for a new President… It is for YOU!
If you still don’t think the midterms will affect you, Barack Obama is back to spell out just how important they are.

Especially reaching out to the youngest voters. So many did not show at the polls.

Apollo Brown x Joell Ortiz – “Timberlan’d Up” feat. Royce Da 5’9
September 19, 2018
From the forthcoming collabo LP from Apollo Brown & Joell Ortiz, “Mona Lisa” (due out October 26, 2018). This is a “Timberlan’d Up” (featuring Royce Da 5’9).
In my ears, this is what the painting Mona Lisa sounds like. The music is straightforward. That’s all I ask for when I’m the listener, so that’s all I give when I’m the creator. No bullsh!t. None. I provided the canvas, and Joell provided the honest brushstrokes. This album is a relatable body of work that everyone can listen to and appreciate. It’s growth within a gold frame. Open your ears and enjoy.â€

September 19, 2018
Smoldering hotness from KeShay Love. Rolling out with the girls, into the nightlife, and coming back with that dude to tuck her in. Score one for a woman’s right to end the night right! No hate.
(Well, no hate, but a bit of jealousy at dude getting to get with the sexy thick Lady Love and make her “Breathless” all night.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: Smif N Wessun (Video)
September 18, 2018
Not like they don’t belong on this forum. They do. Just did not expect to see them featured in their own Tiny Desk Concert. Very glad Smif-N-Wessun are though!
Brooklyn-bred Hip-Hop duo Smif-N-Wessun – consisting of partners in rhyme, Steele and Tek – illuminated the Tiny Desk with their signature, 80-proof poetry: straight, no chaser. Their music, inspired by their gritty and pre-gentrified Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville neighborhoods, offers the vocabulary of veterans who survived the grimy streets. These original members of the Duck Down Records group Boot Camp Clik represent quintessential ’90s true-school Hip-Hop from the bedrock, when Timberland boots were standard issue. Backing Steele and Tek for the first time is D.C.’s own Black Alley band.

(That “One Time” they wrapped with sounds extra nice.)

Final Season For Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown” (Trailer)
September 18, 2018
Somewhere between numbing pain caused by the loss of Sean Price and the recent demise of Mac Miller lies the feeling of continued mourning for late travel & food enthusiast Anthony Bourdain. Got his final season’s trailer here, featuring his voice. Might wanna grab a tissue and some water before you press play. Things might get emotional hearing his voice one more time…
(Comedian W. Kamau Bell’s comments really bring it home, too.)

Comedian Katt Williams Speaks On Undeserved Fame Of Some Comedians And Roasts Co-Host Wanda Smith (Video)
September 18, 2018
On V-103’s Frank and Wanda In The Morning, Emmy-winning actor/comedian Katt Williams lit up the airwaves, sharing nuclear-hot takes on some of today’s top comedians, including Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Jerrod Carmichael, and Hannibal Buress. Watch as Williams calls some ugly, questions others’ talents, and suggests that race and colorism play roles in who Hollywood hires and why.
Yeah yeah. All that… but that’s not what made this thing go viral. When co-host Wanda Smith jumped over the fence and got in the middle of the melee. That’s when Katt’s scattered shots found focus. He got off all the other comedians and fanned all flame on Wanda. Too-hot-for-radio flames. So hot that [reportedly] the Smith men (her husband and sons) found Katt at a comedy club later and pulled a GUN on dude.
Wow. File this under ‘sticks and stones may break bones BUT HOW ABOUT WORDS ALMOST GETTING A COMIC SHOT OVER DISSING A MAN’S WIFE ON AIR!?‘
Watch. But only if you can stand the HEAT! Katt goes IN… smooth & vicious like. That said, he does make some good points…
(Hit the jump to see what Tiffany Haddish had to say via Twitter.)

Prince – “Why The Butterflies”
September 18, 2018
Wowww, this is like being in the room when Prince (RIP) laid this down. Sometimes you don’t need a “finished” track to appreciate the genius of an artist like The Purple Rocker. Previously unreleased; held by Prince’s estate until now.
