Geostorm (Official Teaser)
March 9, 2017
A couple of things… Star Trek: The Next Generation included planetary control tech in several episodes (read: we control weather in the future), and megabucks Bill Gates, aka The Nerd King, filed a patent for weather control tech way back in 2009 (read: the future is now). So, the geeks are already into this game deep. Now, all Hollywood has gotta do is not f*ck up a story we’ve been so ready for for so long.
After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong — the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything…and everyone along with it.
– Warner Bros. Pictures
In the movie “Geostorm,” Gerard Butler stars as Jake, a scientist who, along with his brother, Max (played by Jim Sturgess), is tasked with solving the satellite program’s malfunction. Lots of world-getting-f*cked-the-f*ck-up action in the trailer. Good start for the promo run.

Keyshia Cole – You feat. Remy Ma x French Montana (Video)
March 9, 2017
Crazy!
Look, we KNOW Keisha’s song (“You”) keeps telling us he ‘picked the wrong one’ but… even when Remy evilly declares that he ‘picked’ the right one… even with the threatening torture tools… we do NOT care! Are you seeing how SEXY they are. And LL Cool Montana gets to run free, with stacks, in this video? Some guys get all the luck, and money, and Honeyz. Beats by H-Money & JV.

Professional surfer Anthony Walsh takes his wife (Crystal) and their son (Damien) on a daycation; exploring their native Hawaii by air, by land and by water. And the GoPro HERO5® camera with the Karma stabilization system is there to “see” it all, so the Walsh family could view it later.

Brother Ali – “Own Light” (What Hearts Are For) [Prod. By ANT]
March 8, 2017
You’re not using your heart for what hearts are for…
Drawn in from the first line right? More dope music from Brother Ali slated to be on his “All The Beauty In This Whole Life” album. We posted the pre-order link earlier on here.
I’m honored to present “Own Light,” the theme song of my new album, “All The Beauty In This Whole Life.” Healthy hearts house the light that animates all that we are and everything we do. The light in our hearts is what allows us to hear, heal and be whole. No matter how they repackage their dreary fearfulness, they’ll never plant that flag over here. I’m using my heart for, what hearts are for.

Boy 23: The Forgotten Boys Of Brazil (Trailer)
March 8, 2017
Damn. Too bad Magneto could not stop off in Brazil on his way to Argentina to deal with the Nazi bastards who did this, too. But this isn’t X-Men: First Class, this was real life. This was shameful. Powerful movie trailer about “The Forgotten Boys of Brazil” above; where the Nazis pushed their supremacist agenda and made slaves of Black people outside of Germany.
Boy 23: The Forgotten Boys of Brazil (Menino 23: Infâncias Perdidas no Brasil )(2016, 80 min), by Belisario Franca – Bricks, with the Nazi swastika, found in rural Brazil reveal the horrible true story of orphaned children who were enslaved in Brazil during the 1930’s – victims of a criminal project of eugenics. (In Portuguese with English subtitles).

Mr. Trash Wheel May Be Coming To Eat Your Garbage (Video)
March 8, 2017
We are actually more than a bit fascinated/entertained by watching work. Like all you city folk… Know how you take your lunch outside or by the big window and watch that new building construction across the street? Yep. Some folks even travel to gawk at a dam as part of a vacation trip. And while at college (The University Of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, ROLL TIDE), I would sometimes request window seating at a local by-the-river restaurant to have a view of the transport barges drifting by as I dined. Yep… even gazed at the garbage barges. Well, this is something like that. But the video on Mr. Trash Wheel above shows more than just an attractive contraption that draws a crowd as it works; it can do so sustainably, cleaning up the city while running on clean energy. Nice!
The adorable and insanely effective Mr. Trash Wheel may soon be eating your very own city’s trash.

Stay Melo: Carmelo Anthony Explores Boxing In Brownsville (Video)
March 8, 2017
I’m a big boxing fan. I just love the fact that it’s mano y mano. May the best man win.
Say that then, Carmelo. On this ep of #StayMelo the baller is off the hardwood and on to the squared circle. Checking out what makes boxers from Brownsville (Brooklyn, NY, USA) different; the “best community for true fighters.”
Brownsville, Brooklyn, has become known for its numerous high rise project buildings, tragic gang violence and world champion boxers with vicious knockouts. Mike Tyson, Zab Judah, Riddick Bowe, Shannon Briggs and countless other world champions all hail from one small section of Brooklyn that encompasses a few square blocks. In this episode of Stay Melo, Carmelo Anthony meets up with WBA Middleweight Champion Danny Jacobs to get a tour of the neighborhood and see what makes this place special. Their journey leads them to a kid named Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington, who is looking to be the next boxer to put Brownsville on his back.

Children As Young As Four Work 12 Hours A Day To Make Your Smartphone Work (Video)
March 7, 2017
Damn. And while the States stay distracted by whatever the f*ck the President is up to or not, and whether we care if Nicki will clap back at Remy or not, THIS deplorable despicable sh!t is going on. Watch above and read on… and prepare to get MAD!
‘Slavery is alive and well’ is no metaphor, people. We’re talking about miners in The Congo who are worked near death daily in unsafe conditions for nowhere-near-livable pay. And many of the miners are MINORS, some as young as four f*cking years old! All this to dig up as much cobalt as the developed world can buy to make smartphone and electric car batteries.
Regulate the mines? Yeah, right. Read more about the tragedy and challenges of this situation by following the link below.

Kanye West – “Bed Yeezy Season 5” feat. The-Dream
March 7, 2017
So. You got 17 minutes to check out some new music from Kanye West. He did something with The-Dream, flipping a track orginally done up by The-Dream (“Bed”, yeah the J. Holiday jawn)… calling it “Bed Yeezy Season 5”… and it’s out there but in there at the same time. Hard to explain, which makes it par for the Kanye course, right?
Think of this as an extended play for some extended play at the crib. Call bae. Test drive the track.

Chance The Rapper Speaks On His Frustration Over Chicago Public School Funding (Video)
March 7, 2017
Chance The Rapper clip above; saying he was feeling a kind of way (not the good kind either) after his conversation with the Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner about funding from Chicago Public Schools. Chance is not the first in Hip-Hop to go hard for his hometown, for the kids & community; but the occasion is still too rare among folks with the bully pulpit and the bucks in our culture. And if you peep after the jump, you will see that Chance is putting his money on the table… even as the Governor and his ilk are taking money ($215 million) off it.
Salute to Chance The Rapper. He put up. Hope he doesn’t shut up until the state does right and puts some bread up, too!

DJ Battlecat – “I’m From California” feat. Mykestro x 2Dice
March 7, 2017
Maaaaan, it does not get more Cali than chopping up some old school sunny music like Toto’s “Africa” and letting a couple of bruhs bless the track. Why not just call the whole thing “I’m From California” and get on with the dopeness? Yeah, DJ Battlecat did that (featuring Mykestro and 2Dice on there).
Pop the hydraulics and roll them thangs up. Nice!

Thirty Years Later: DJ Red Alert Gives Us The Real Story Behind “The Bridge is Over” (Video)
March 7, 2017
Nowadays we get beef in the form of Remy Ma getting at Nicki Minaj. But heads know… The Bronx and Queens has ben going at it over the decades. Let’s listen and watch at DJ Red Alert, who was there for it all, tell us about some foundational Hip-Hop battle history: The Bridge Wars of the late 1980s, KRS-ONE and Boogie Down Productions vs. on Marley Marl and the Juice Crew.
(As an important aside, pay attention to what Red says about a DJ’s duty to our music and culture. Great stuff! “The Bridge Is Over”… but Hip-Hop don’t stop… can’t stop!)
Look! Up In The Sky… It’s The DeLorean From ‘Back To The Future’ (Video)
March 7, 2017
Dude… DUUUUDE! Okay, the noon slot is usually reserved for the physically hot. But while this is no ‘Honey’ you should recognize the ‘body’ on this one. Actually, on this DRONE!
Someone made a working scaled down (but no less awesome) flying drone version of the time-traveling DeLorean from the ‘Back To The Future’ movie. Extremely nerdy, in the dopest way possible!!!

How Microaggressions Are Majorly Offensive (Video)
March 6, 2017
Still don’t fully understand what microaggressions are?
Here’s a metaphor you won’t forget!
Ohhh! So that’s what you call it when folks who don’t know any better (or who actually do, but wanna be azzholy-on-the-lowly) poke and pester you with patronizing platitudes that are actually coded putdowns… microaggressions!
You know, like if you are actually surprised that a Black guy, or a ‘blogger’ for that matter, actually knew those words I just used, could onomatopoeically employ them thusly, or even want to comment how surprised you are that I know a sesquipedalian word like ‘onomatopoeically’… Yeah, you’d be one of those microaggressors!

SkyBlew – “SkyBlew Meets Bigfoot” (Prod. By Engelwood) [Video]
March 6, 2017
Such dopeness dropped off by the homie SkyBlew last week. I caught up with dude on Facebook and learned of it. Seriously silly, love that guy! This Englewood-produced “SkyBlew Meets Bigfoot” is off his LP “SkyBlew The Cowardly Boy” (which we posted a while ago on here). Fair warning: The beginning and ending shoot straight past Blew’s normal mellow melodius mode to straight hilarity; especially the end.
“GET OUTTA HEY’R FUUT!!”
Bwaaaahahaaa! A must watch. This will make your day!
