Sports: Kristaps Porzingis Was Ready To Be ‘Booed’ But His Goal Was Always To Be Great (Video)
November 20, 2015
I wasn’t too sure about the Knicks draft pick, but in this first few games he’s proven to not be shook. Hoping to see more great things from this kid in the NBA. Word to “Godzingis.”
Kristaps Porzingis is a smash hit as a high-flying rookie for the New York Knicks. But it wasn’t too long ago that he was mercilessly booed by Knicks’ fans on draft night. We sit passenger side with Kristaps as he explains how he blocks out the negativity and the optimal methods for getting into your opponents head.

Michael B. Jordan Speaks On Getting Jacked, His Movie “Creed” And More (Video)
November 20, 2015
Commitment. To film making and to fitness. Get your bread, B. Respect. Above: Michael B. Jordan on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon chopping it up about his continuing the ‘Rocky’ movie franchise with his movie “Creed,” working with Sylvester Stallone, getting fit for the role and more.
I just remember seeing Rocky [and] Apollo Creed just being jacked, and I was like, “You know what, I gotta be close.”
Hoping this movie is the brother’s proper re-up …since the “Fantastic Four” reboot …you know. “Creed” ought to be good holiday movie watching though.

Yep! Johnny Baeten aka Lano of Genk (Belgium) has me caught up with this dopeness. The feel… It’s the best of boom bap essence with high-emotion strings and things. Loving this “So Make Love” beat!

Shiiid! Ronnie Euro can gooooo! Check out the new mind-blowing “Rededication” visuals.

Watch the above vignette of producer Dre Skull traveling (once again) to Kingston; to immerse himself in the culture AND to link up with artist Popcaan to do work!
Aaaaah, back to Tuff Gong Studios. Others we’ve posted on have been there. See here.

For the latest installment of Rhythm Roulette, we tap Scoop DeVille to chop up some random records and conjure fire. We caught up with him in New Jersey as he thumbed through the crates at Scotty’s Record Shop, picked three random joints, sparked some herb, and flipped the records in the stu.

Julie Walters Feels 50 Cent’s Tongue (Video)
November 19, 2015
Are you kidding? If anyone can not only keep his “9 Shots” story lively, then turn it into a song that’s funky, then turn it into something funny, then have the whole thing turn into something freaky, it’s 50 Cent.
Rapper 50 Cent talks about taking 9 bullets in the horrific shooting incident that nearly cost him his life. Julie Walters is only interested in feeling his tongue.
Talk about tongue-in-cheek… well, this is cheeky Julie Walters’ finger in 50’s mouth (saying, “Oh yeah, I can feel it”). Whaaaat?! Only in the UK. Only on the Graham Norton Show.

Dam-Funk Digs Into His Crates To Pull Off A ‘Boiler Room’ Party Mix (Video)
November 19, 2015
Funk, boogie, breaks… LPs and 45s… Dam-Funk is taking us on a near hour-and-a-half musical genre journey. With very little intro (by a cute little slimmie), we get right into the needle-dropping. What is pretty much an intimate listening party doesn’t stop until the end; only pausing for commentary or spontaneous crooning. Check out the video above. Nice!

Science: Watch This Ball Float On Nothing But Sound Waves (Video)
November 18, 2015
Researchers at the University of Sussex have invented a ‘sonic tractor beam.’
– University of Sussex, Communications and External Relations
You know, we could leave it at that and be geeked out enough. Scientists actually made something they call a TRACTOR BEAM! Nice. But is it real? Damn straight. Watch this miracle in force mechanics… a ball steadily suspended on sound waves coming from small speakers.
Stay Melo: Carmelo Anthony Goes To Rikers Island (Video)
November 18, 2015
Great stuff! VICE is keeping the heat on the prison industry by taking the cameras back inside. First President Obama does a special at a Federal prison; now Carmelo Anthony visits Rikers Island for this episode of “Stay Melo.” Impactful, especially for Melo, touring the jail facility and meeting a group of young prisoners. Growing up, he knew folks who’d done time and came back home. But being inside like this, even knowing he would eventually leave, was very different.
I’m not sure what I expected. I knew it wasn’t going to be pleasant. And, it wasn’t. At all. It was extremely disturbing.

Watch above.
