Jay Electronica – “The Curse Of Mayweather”
February 16, 2016
I told you muthaf#ckers me and destiny had a date!
– Jay Electronica
In the background… doesn’t it kinda sound like horror movie death screams? Apropos, since Jay Elect is a rhyme monster going for heads on this track – Zimmerman, 50 Cent (heard that ‘contemplating war with 50‘ line in there, right?), whoever! Listen N.O. flower on his latest entitled “The Curse Of Mayweather.” Gotta be a hated-for-being-the-best thing.
Kendrick Lamar – “The Blacker The Berry” / “Alright” (Live At The Grammys) [Video]
February 16, 2016
Now, it’d be enough for a West Coast emcee to someday rock the Staples Center. If you are a fan of K-Dot’s, it would be enough to see him rock anywhere; a dream for that place to be the Center. But imagine THE performance of THE Grammys that got the whole web world wide JUMPING… Better watch this now. Embeds of Kendrick Lamar’s “The Blacker The Berry” & “Alright” Grammy night set are getting snatched down left and right.

Kanye West – “30 Hours”
February 15, 2016
My ex said she gave me the best years of her life. I saw a recent picture of her. I guess she was right.
– Kanye West
Is… Is that a clapback… for all that finger-in-the-booty talk from Yeezy’s ex? Maybe? Maybe not? Anyway, we get more G.O.O.D. Music in the form of “30 Hours.”

Too Black For Brazil (Documentary)
February 15, 2016
Color bias… you know, the light skin vs. dark skin thing… it’s EVERYWHERE! In Brazil though, to seemingly a greater extent than elsewhere, the darker-skinned people play into the preference toward lighter skin. The preference is persistent in the culture even today. And just when some Brazilians thought the people were ready to take a huge step forward, they took a big step back; kicked the throne from under their lovely carnival queen down in the process.
Nayara Justino thought her dreams had come true when she was selected as the Globeleza carnival queen in 2013 after a public vote on one of Brazil’s biggest TV shows. But some regarded her complexion to be too dark to be an acceptable queen. Nayara and her family wonder what this says about racial roles in modern Brazil.
Damn. Watch the documentary above.

Black Thought Speaks On How Artists Got J Dilla Beats, Dilla’s Legacy And More (Video)
February 15, 2016
Every year I would go to Detroit for, like, at least a couple of days to spend with Jay Dee; so that I could be one of the first people that got his tape for the upcoming season.
– Black Thought
Imagine if your biggest fans had fans. And your beat tape was ‘distributed’ by your biggest fans making an annual sojourn to your spot to come get it… Or just listen to Black Thought tell you about how he, Common and others used to check for Dilla back in the day.
Black Thought speaks on getting beats from J Dilla and Scott Storch back in the day.
J Dilla made it all possible. His music lives through Thought and all the singers and emcees that breathed over his beats.

To Be Clear: Bernie Sanders And Donald Trump Are NOT The Same…At All! (Video)
February 13, 2016
Ha! A two-fer! Bernie Sanders in the White House AND Bill O’Reilly moving to Ireland. Let’s do it people. O’Reilly was talking to Stephen Colbert the other night, saying that Sanders and Donald Trump were the same candidate with ‘different haircuts.’ WHAT? Okay, commentary like that alone might get more folks voting for Sanders (bye Bill). Watch Sanders’ sit-down with Colbert…making more sense than Trump has for most of his life.
Fresh off of his win in the New Hampshire primary, Bernie Sanders stops by The Late Show to talk about why his campaign is different.

Tesla’s Coming Out With A New Model And Coming Down On Its Price (Video)
February 13, 2016
It’s no longer a game…no longer a pipe dream. The new Tesla hits production lines in 2017; so sayeth Elon Musk. And before you suck your teeth and go, “So what? Another electric car that no regular person can afford,” ask yourself if you can scrape up $1000 down for a brand new car of the future. That’s the ‘reserve’ fee. Price tag is $35,000…confirmed. And with tax breaks, get yourself one for $25,000.
Price is no longer an object. Watch.
(FYI… that is NOT the car in the video… Tesla’s not giving us that early a look.)

Mac Miller: Stopped Making Excuses (Documentary)
February 12, 2016
Deep. Never had any problem with Pittsburgh emcee Mac Miller. Some did. And according to this documentary, dude had major problems with himself. Critics were hitting Miller hard in his pride since he was 19. Still he pressed on, got his his 2011 debut album pressed and independently released, and kept the pressure on until it hit #1 on Billboard. But then he moved to Los Angeles… and hit a sharp downward spiral into drug abuse. Talk about PROBLEMS! But, of course, Miller found his way through (and lived to tell the story above).
I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess that can’t even get out of his house. You don’t go down in history because you overdosed.
Real sh!t. See what he went through, and how he made it through, in the documentary “Mac Miller: Stopped Making Excuses.”

Eye Candy: Taylin (Video)
February 12, 2016
Okay, okay. Lean in. About to let somebody in on a skrip club (I’m in ATL, y’all might say it another way) secret. IF you are THIRSTY like that (no judgement) then DO NOT fall in love with that skripper. She already has MANY lovers… them sweaty dollas, potna! But holler at a BARTENDER though (like this one here); maybe you got a good shot. At least, if you ask nice and tip well, you got a good shot (get it? got it? good)! That said, guess what Taylin does when she’s not in vids like this blowing your mind… yup, BARTENDER!
The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution (Trailer)
February 12, 2016
Depending on where you are on the social-political-cultural-racial spectrum, viewing this will make you feel engaged, enlightened, enraged, sad and frightened. Actually, you will feel all those things no matter who you are watching this. It’s just a matter of who you’ll feel them about and in what order you’ll experience the emotions. What could the trailer above be teasing that is that powerful?
New film by acclaimed documentarian Stanley Nelson about the rise and fall of the Black Panther Party.
That’s right. Not the “Captain America: Civil War” character… These revolutionary men and women were way stronger. Too Black, too strong; which is why the government brought its full weight against them. There’s your damn (un)Civil War. Check out the trailer for “The Black Panthers: Vanguard of The Revolution” (coming soon).

Ghostface Gets At Back Martin Shkreli With His Own ‘Goons’ And ‘Goo’ (Video)
February 11, 2016
Stop f#cking around and grow the f#ck up…BE A MAN!
It’s the clap back at Millionaire Martin for all that reckless talk… But not how you think. Interesting. Verrrry interesting. The Hip-Hop Nation might’ve expected Ghost to go hard at prescription drug magnate Martin Shkreli. However, only the shrewdest heads could have thought it though to come up with this type of battle plan.
Ghostface Killah strikes back at Martin Shkreli with the 5000% increase of Daraprim.
War is chess, not checkers, folks. It’s often about winning hearts and minds. So, to take the battle to where Shkreli cannot win (e.g. Martin ain’t winning anybody’s heart anytime soon), to paint him as TRYING to be the ultimate villain THEN clown him for that THEN bring in the ‘goods’ to join the laughter… THEN have one of them end with a teary-eyed plea to Shkreli (and his MOM) to do right by the people who are sick and dying in the wake of his greed (e.g. his aforementioned 5000% price increase of the HIV drug Daraprim)…checkmate!
And in the midst of it all, promote the Wu Goo brand as the ‘anti’ to all of that at the same damn time! Mr. Starks’Â is showing the skill and temperament of a master… Shaolin technique is VERY good and his sword is deadly sharp. Well played.
Watch.
