Wait! Before You Take That Power Nap… (Video)
January 19, 2018
My brother (BoneBreaker Jones) and I speak on this from time to time. We’re both night owls trying to do us AND do our best to meet the daytime demands of ‘their’ world. Going hard, getting older wiser; we know we need rest and respect nap time. We can’t be #TeamNoSleep because that is just not healthy or even productive. But maybe we go about it wrong somehow. In the above clip, we (like me & you, bro can watch later after doing ‘their’ work) learn about the ‘power’ of naps… good and bad.
Let’s build that sleep pressure up while on the grind, then get only the good sleep.
#TeamGetGoodSleep

People Do Know That Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Is NOT On Twitter… Don’t They? (Video)
January 18, 2018
Since this is Donald Trump’s first MLK Day in office we decided to commemorate it by going out on the street and asking people whose side they were on in the Donald Trump/Dr. King Twitter war. Of course, Martin Luther King has been gone for 50 years but that didn’t stop people from weighing in on this impossible feud in an MLK Day edition of #LieWitnessNews.
– Jimmy Kimmel Live
Sometimes you just gotta laugh at sh!t. Like this Kimmel clip. Hope they don’t end up starting a ‘real’ Trump Tweet beef with Dr. MLK Jr. (RIP) Prediction on that: Would be reeeeeally one-sided.
(But you knew that. Some of these interviewees, well, may not.)

Why Have We Not Gone Back To The Moon? Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Answers (Video)
January 18, 2018
Still won’t put down conspiracy theorists, but Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a really reasonable response to rumors of lunar landing fakery, to beliefs of America’s leadership in the field of space exploration, to general inquiry about the motivations for going into space in the first place (the moon, Mars and beyond).

Start with the clip above. Hit the jump for more (another dope sit-down).

Rapsody Speaks On Her Grammy Nomination And Being Female In The Rap Genre (Video)
January 18, 2018
Absolutely! Of course, Rapsody should be on with Larry King. She can speak for Hip-Hop, esp. from her perspective as a female in the culture. She is one of our BEST! Very dope interview clip. Watch!
As the only woman nominated for Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammys, Rapsody says the honor is bittersweet, noting that – unlike in the 90s, which produced a plethora of chart-topping Hip-Hop from women – female rappers today struggle to break into the mainstream.
– Larry King
After the jump, we got more!

Koji The Bandit – “Never Enough” (Instrumental Album)
January 18, 2018
Not our normal musical fare, but this artist’s story though…
I never want to be so focused on an artist’s work that I ignore their worth as a fellow human being. Looks like in this write-up, that this bunch of banging beats was borne of a life journey that involved pain. I appreciate that: It is the burden of many artists (some we lost as a result). I also hope things looked up or will soon…
One night, I was sitting in my car, completely hopeless about life. Smoking a Black & Mild, in April, my life in limbo. I had no idea what I was going to do, and I was losing confidence in what I can do musically. I was about to give up. It seemed like anything I tried to do to get myself in a better situation, whether a potential job, music opportunity, etc., it was #neverenough. Fast forward to now, after doing a mentorship with Don Cannon and collaborating with him for my first major placement with Lil Durk, I’m honestly still not certain where this will take me…I pray that God will show me a way out of uncertainty with my life with this instrumental project. This is a tale of happiness, sadness, love, life, and glory. I present to you, “Never Enough.” #robothouse.

Travel: Arizona’s Blue Water Paradise (Video)
January 18, 2018
Admittedly, I’m more likely to take a trip and be fascinated enough by the hotel room. Probably why I am not on the official JayForce Travel Squad. But that’s alright because I know the fam would dig this!

Baba Brinkman Is Dropping Science… Brain Science… In His “Rap Guide to Consciousness” (Trailer)
January 18, 2018
Not sure if you know like I know, but there are folks in Hip-Hop whose works I admire yet will probably never totally ‘get.’ Like, I know Raekwon is dope, but sometimes he goes into some bushes I have never seen before… and I can’t follow what he’s doing. I just chalk it up to him doing him doing Hip-Hop… and I stay on a Hip-Hop path because I know he will come back and stomp down a familiar path (or at least one I can follow) and we’re good. That kind of thinking is not just for Hip-Hop. I think about Neil deGrasse Tyson or Gary Vaynerchuk or some of the far-out science/tech articles I post here… not knowing all of what is going on, but knowing there is something there; that this is something I should be following.
This cat, Baba Brinkman. He’s like that; with his lyrical presentations about consciousness and such. I just dug some write-ups about him out of the inbox and peeped this trailer that came with them… I’m seeing critical acclaim, some building buzz, association with work I often follow into some of those aforementioned bushes (see Mega Ran – who I ran across while staying up on the moves of the homie SkyBlew). Yeah. So I subscribed. I get a good amount of what he is spitting about (yeah, like rapping about) in his rhymes that engage and explore the mind. And while I am sure Baba will head off into some bushes I’m not eff’n with from time-to-time, I get the feeling that he will brink it back (come, rewind). Like Chef Raekwon and Dr. Tyson do for me.
Check dude’s trailer out and see if you can keep up with what he’s putting down. One time for your mind!

Science: Heather Berlin Asks, “Who Is Your Brain?” (Video)
January 17, 2018
Interesting! Check out this TEDx Talk from Dr. Heather Berlin – neuroscientist, spouse of consciousness rapper Baba Brinkman, and mother of a new ‘experiment in diapers.’
“Dr. Berlin examines the relationship between the brain and mind, with a focus on borderline personality disorder. She looks at the neurological basis of identity, taking apart the stigmas that are often attached to mental illness.
By understanding how disordered minds construct a sense of self, we can gain insight into the selves that each of us creates through our choices and interactions with the world.”
– TEDx Talks
Hmm… the Doc’s got content on PBS and Discovery and off Broadway. Yup. Now she is on my radar!

Banks! A “Mighty Healthy” jawn dropped online with limited fanfare. Obviously, he put the energy into getting gritty with his even keel kill-tracks-at-will flows. That beat though. Yooo!
