How Much Land Would It Take To Power The Entire USA With Solar Energy? (Video)
December 7, 2016
Hmmm… Solar-powered America for all… laid out plain and simple. Of course, none of this is as plain or simple as the video implies. But I like how it defies any doubters of the concept’s doability. The U.S. made it to the moon (or convinced the world it did, for any alternative history theorists out there) in seven years once President Kennedy set the country’s direction & ambitions toward the goal. This can be done!
But will it be?

How Flat Can A Flat Screen TV Be? (Video)
December 7, 2016
Apparently, LG is coming with a TV as thin as a credit card. Wowwww, now that’s a neato cool toy! Maybe one we can roll up and stuff in a stocking. Got to imagine they will be hella expensive. But not if you got it playa. Haaa!
I don’t. I’m saying if YOU got it.
I was surprised at the amount of vitriol ($10 word for ‘hateration’ – word value to be determined) being spewed on the comments where I found this clip. Guess we can’t have nice things… without spiteful things being said about them. Aaaanywaayyys, it’s cool leisure tech candy to at least look at (sweet). Plus it is lightweight and magnetically mounted to a wall. So moving days would be a bit easier on the back. I wonder how that next argument over what to watch might go though…
(Look… we ain’t watching ‘Scandalicious’ or ‘House Chickens Of Gotham City’ tonight… Think we are? Oh yeah?? Well, just keeping thinking that. Meanwhile, I’m gonna watch ‘Arrow’ in the other room… AND I’M TAKING THE TV!)

Cuba’s Generational Divide (Documentary Short Film)
December 7, 2016
Three generations of Cuban women, three different opinions of Castro.
For some Cubans, the leader's death has highlighted a divide. pic.twitter.com/wXWI5sVE97

Incredible video expo… and incredibly short. Maybe ongoing interest will drive development of a fuller doc or short. The impact of the life, and recent passing, of Cuban revolutionary dictator Fidel Castro can be debated from various angles including regional vs. global and overall positive vs. overall negative. But we do know there was an impact, and it apparently resonates throughout the ages.
Case in point: Above you see three generations of Black Cubans – Esperanza Caridad Martinez (Grandmother), Margarita Beatriz Nicholas (Daughter), and Leyssy O’Farrill Nicholas (Granddaughter) speak on three views of Cuba; in effect, Castro’s legacy. Thing about it is that while the views could have (and maybe has already) sparked fiery discourse among them, the discourse is very calm and deliberate. Each generation speaking on what they know and feel about living in Cuba and prospects for Black Cubans like them moving forward there and abroad. But what’ll really get you at the end… is that one tear Grandma shed for her Leyssy. Whether or not Leyssy has what it takes to eat off her art (caution: NOT a given, anywhere) by leaving, she ought to know she has LOVE in Cuba. 100,000%.

Narcotechs – “Kick In La Puerta” feat. AG Da Coroner x Tony Touch x DJ Top 10 (Video)
December 7, 2016
Interesting. Rolled up on “Lil Yachty” like a drop squad. Showed him Hip-Hop the hood way and converted him to rocking a B.I.G. shirt instead of continuing to diss the culture. Strong Beatz & Lyrics. That’s the ‘strong arm tactic’ in this “Kick In La Puerta” video. Checked out that FREE Narcotechs LP yet (posted earlier here) You really should probably. AG Da Coroner, Tony Touch, and DJ Top 10 on this alone ought to push you that way. After you watch this vid, of course.

Big Syke’s Last Interview Before His Death Addressed Police Brutality (Video)
December 6, 2016
Tupac’s friend & former Thug L.I.F.E. collaborator Big Syke passed away today. One of his last interviews before he died was beautiful because of all the truth he spoke within it.
Can’t say I was a huge Big Syke fan like that, but he definitely was on 1 of my favorite Tupac songs. RIP BIG Syke https://t.co/nfXbTyoOBQ

Dutch Christmas Celebrations Still Include Blackface (Video)
December 6, 2016
With minor cultural considerations, Christmas is the same worldwide right? Well, that depends on what you call ‘minor’ (or translated… HELL NO)! Especially not in the Dutch tradition. Watch the Zox expose on Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) in the Netherlands. Blackface! They are still pushing the use of blackface and human caricature as a part of the Winter holidays; dissing Black people over there in the worst ways while totally oblivious (yeah, right). But the times, they are a-changing…slowly.

Hubbs – “Buck” feat. Skyzoo (Prod. By M16)
December 6, 2016
So, y’all may recognize the trackmaster M16 Grammy-nominated Alabama native (Tuscaloosa, Roll Tide, that’s right) – producer of Playaz Circle’s “Duffle Bag Boy” and “I Do” by Jeezy (featuring Andre 3000). And I know followers of this site know Skyzoo. Now, about Hubbs. Nice! From what I could dig up, he’s repping Steel City (Pittsburgh, PA, USA), and he has an album coming out (“Black Privilege”) soon. So, there’s that… and more in this bio he has up on ReverbNation:
Hip-Hop artist, Hubbs, was born in Pittsburgh, PA. His mother, a native resident of the Hill District (Elmore Square) section of Pittsburgh, and father, from Cleveland, OH, moved to Penn Hills, an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh, at this time, to raise their family which also consisted of one older son. Hubbs’ primary inspiration in Hip-Hop, which peaked in the mid 90’s, was influenced by artists and groups such as Notorious B.I.G. and Nas, Jay-Z, Mobb Deep, AZ, The Lox, Wu-Tang Clan, and recalls listening to DJ Clue, Cutmaster C, Ron G, and Doo Wop underground mixtapes. As Hubbs reflects on his beginnings of rhyming, he mentions “I remember my man Sha-King approached me in 9th grade, and asked me and my man Mike if we’d be interested in being in the school talent show with him. Sha-King had been rhyming for years by that point, but Mike and I had only written rhymes on occasion, just out of hobby. But we agreed to, came up with this song over some ill instrumental with this Biggie voice sample in the hook, and killed the talent show. We were on some young don sh*t (laughs), rockin’ trench coats and suits and all that. I had the last verse, and I remember cats in the crowd goin’ nuts when I came out and spit my verse. That’s when I knew I had some talent, and also that I enjoyed rhyming and performing.”
Okay, that ought to be enough to allow you to enjoy this “Buck” joint without having to ‘act’ like you know. Haaa!

Chelsea Handler Speaks On Men, Masturbation And More (Video)
December 6, 2016
The word for this episode is CRAZY! For just a second, it looked like (1) Envy was really a Latino in denial and (2) Charlemagne was gonna ‘drop trou’ as Chelsea commanded. I mean, she did say she was into many cultures…and many penes (like that 100 Pene challenge we posted here… Chels would smash that)!
Chelsea Handler stopped by the studio to “shoot the sh!t” with the Breakfast Club. After refusing to answer DJ Envy’s questions about her Netflix show, Chelsea talked about some slightly raunchier subjects. The comedian discussed her opinions on masturbation and blow jobs, as well as why she doesn’t mind one night stands. Check out the interview.
Chelsea Handler is hella funny on this, and there is nowhere she won’t go. Wow! Watch.

December 5, 2016
Damn. That’s a strong lineup. AND L-L-LOOK! It’s StaHHr! She’s ’bout to snap on a track again! That alone was occasion enough for me to take a look-see (and listen). And I am glad I did, because for some who still sleep, this is my opportunity to share some real essence of way back. Boom bap or get slapped. This is Hip-Hop family. So, have a seat and belly up to these BARZ. “B-Boy Bonanza” – buffet of choice lyrics from Eloh Kush & Dus, featuring John Robinson, EL Da Sensi, A.G.
