Okay, if you are planning on eating a big azz turkey for the holidays, you may not want to watch this. But, of course, now you feel like you HAVE to watch, right?
The Thanksgiving turkey on your table looks nothing like the one your grandparents ate as kids.

Outside The Lines: Greg Oden After His Pro Basketball Career Was Cut Short (Video)
Damn. Greg Oden described himself as ‘the biggest bust in NBA history’ (damn, and damn again). There is a very somber tone to this whole interview. More coming to grips than moving on. Though leaving due to injury and going back to school should be seen as just that.
How would you describe your career now?
I don’t have one right now…
Short and not really sweet. Watch.
Nas – “Stillmatic” (Dr. No Remix)
Uh ohhhh… this dude (well, not just any dude, Oh No) done went and remixed “Stillmatic” – a Nas staple. Highly experimental take on the original track. Try it on and see what it do for you. Wonder what Nassir thinks about this…

Off the album “Here” by Alicia Keys (still makeup-less in this vid; still lovely as ever), this is “Blended Family” (featuring A$AP Rocky). An incredibly real feel of love-in-spite-of coming from Alicia who’s coming from a genuine place with it. You probably know the Swizz–Alicia–Mashonda situation…went from the worst mashed up situation to a more-than-cordial one. The vid is well worth the watch. And the album, likely worth the cop.

Joe Budden & Cyn Santana Sitting In… With Angie Martinez (Video)
Ahhh, love. Sweet love. With just enough crazy to make for good radio. There’s a grownness about Joe & Cyn’s convo (esp. Joe’s) when they get to the meat of it. You know how a dude thinks he can pull a girl that’s into girls… Well, Budden’s done it. Don’t hate.
He’s my man now…
