Pusha T – “Drug Dealers Anonymous” feat. Jay Z
June 1, 2016
Stretch first. This beat. These lyrics. There will be head nodding, and that’s the least movement this “Drug Dealers Anonymous” banger from Pusha T will inspire. Pepper in some Jigga spice and this word gumbo is bubbling hot!
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
Nice work Hova. Flipping in what seemed like a Star Trek IV line in the rhymes, but the bars go deeper like Jay is prone to do. Reference A Course In Miracles.

Driving While Black in New Jersey (Documentary)
June 1, 2016
A new report from Seton Hall Law School Center for Policy & Research has found that in the majority-white municipality of Bloomfield, New Jersey, nearly 80 percent of traffic tickets are issued to African American and Latino drivers.
The report also found that most tickets were issued to non-resident minority drivers passing through town, suggesting a “de facto border patrol” policing policy is in effect.
The Bloomfield Police Department — which has begun collecting data on the race of drivers in traffic stops as of January 2016 — rejects the report’s findings.
VICE News reports on Seton Hall’s methodology and on the experience of minority drivers in Bloomfield.
Please note that in this video, Lakisha Finkelstein’s name was misspelled as Latisha Finkelstein.

Illegal Street Drifting in Saudi Arabia (Documentary)
May 31, 2016
Illegal drifting on public streets has achieved cult status in Saudi Arabia by now. At the same time, car accidents are one of the main causes of death there, especially among young people. The problem is so massive that the Saudi government is implementing extra hard punishments for drifting on public streets. But there are alternatives. Professional drivers have started academies, and in doing so are trying to make drifting a professional sport.

Hip-Hop perfection! John Robinson going with the low-key smooth energy for “Very Nice” (featuring Scienz of Life). Dope production by Count Bass D. Looks like a good launch for the Water The Plants brand, too. More on that…

Meet Britain’s Jason Coghlan: A Criminal Turned Criminal Attorney (Documentary)
May 31, 2016
Better Call Saul Goodman… Or, maybe since this is gangster stuff, we should go with Tom Hagen – consigliere and legal counsel for the Corleone Family (The Godfather)… Real-life crime and punishment and reform and organized crime. Whew! Law and Order on steroids with no chill. The whole story brought to you as only VICE can.
This is the story of one of Britain’s most notorious reformed criminals, Jason Coghlan, who spent 16 years behind bars before he found an even more dangerous and effective pastime: studying the law. VICE gained intimate access to Jason’s life over two years, witnessing the rise of his legal firm, which explicitly caters to the gangsters of the Costa Del Sol in Spain. However, the echoes of his old life are never far away and a gang feud in Jason’s native Manchester threatens to unravel his new amicable existence.

Free State Of Jones (Trailer)
May 31, 2016
Should be really dope. I remember author Sally Jenkins’ appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart years ago… talking about “The State Of Jones” book (see that here). Great story. The trailer above teases a movie that seems like it will do the story justice.
Written and directed by four-time Oscar nominee Gary Ross (THE HUNGER GAMES, SEABISCUIT, PLEASANTVILLE), and starring Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey. FREE STATE OF JONES is an epic action-drama set during the Civil War, and tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight, and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy.
Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, Knight launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones.
Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War.
In Theaters June 24, 2016.

On Facebook: MF Doom shared Sick Rick’s video.
Take this in… immediately! Copies are showing up and coming down across the web. Also, take this for what it is. A rare collabo ‘performance’ by Doom and Jay Elect. Though it hints at the release of a collaborative track… Meh, maybe. It’d be nice.

Austin Rivers Talks About His History In Basketball And With His Current Coach…His Dad (Video)
May 30, 2016
Ha! Austin got a shot in on his Dad / Coach Doc Rivers… cracking on them short shorts! Interesting Ride Along episode by VICE Sports.
Austin Rivers is one of the more polarizing players in the NBA. It could be the Duke thing, it could be the confident on-court demeanor, it could be because he’s playing for his dad. We rode shotgun with Austin as he waxed on his tough transition to pro ball, being traded early in his career, and of course the ups and downs of playing for a legendary coach who happens to be your father.

Going For Gold: While The Golden State Warriors Were Winning, So Was E-40 (Video)
May 30, 2016
Now that the Golden State Warriors have turned things around and made the series a fight – the Western Finals now being tied 3-3 when the team was facing elimination (down 3-1) days ago, can we talk about the fighting spirit of another Yay Area hero? Anybody hear how Indie rap legend E-40 just got certified Gold again for his “Choices” joint? Yessir, RIAA certified GOLD – 500,000 units sold!
Back in 2014, the single was out and pushing indie numbers. Fawty was working his music, per usual, and eating off his work. But E-40 was actually well into his forties by then, and there was limited expectation of commercial success. Just putting out the work and seeing some movement would be considered a ‘win’ to most in his position. But Fonzy stayed on the grind, and kept working ground, and kept eyes and ears out for rain… and in 2015, a partnership involving an Apple insider and some moves with the NBA Championship-bound Warriors, gave E-40’s music new life.
Farmer Fawty Water still kept tending the crop though. Then, just recently, came the harvest!
“Man I was looking at the numbers and I’m like ‘I think I’m close to gold!’ So my distributor sent a note to the RIAA and they did their accounting and everything and analyzed it and that shit was certified, bruh! Matter fact, “Tell Me When to Go†just went gold two months ago. And “U and Dat Booty†went platinum the same day that “Tell Me When to Go†went gold. That’s sick huh?”
– HipHopDX, quoting E-40
Time to celebrate that victory, and a hell of a comeback effort by the Warriors. Hit the jump, and join the party!
