Standing Bears Entertain Tourists on Bus (Video)

Would you look at that. Baaaahahaaaaa! Hey there, Boo-Boo. Maybe if we walk alongside the people rolling by they’ll open up their picnic baskets and feed us.

All kidding (and very dated Yogi Bear references) aside, these are bad bears. Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good… incredible. Watch these quadrupeds go bipedal; welcoming the attention (maybe) and food (definitely!) from the group of astonished passersby.

Kid Cudi – “All In” (Prod. By Mike Will Made It)

It’s like Cudi was just scatting to some miscellany in the studio – vibing – and a beat got built up around it. Natural organic feel to the “All In” beat by Mike Will Made It. Decent. Apparently there is more to come.

Just the beginning 😉
