Syl Johnson: Any Way The Wind Blows (Trailer)
October 21, 2015
Pioneer soul singer Syl Johnson left the music business in the 1980s to open a Chicago fried-fish chain; having struggled with all but no acclaim fro decades. That does not mean he was totally forgotten though; just underappreciated. Heads have likely heard (knowingly or not) samples from his “Different Strokes” (from 1967) in the works of Run-DMC, NWA, Public Enemy, Wu-Tang Clan, Beastie Boys… well, you get it. Talk about ‘unsung.’ This documentary will spotlight an artist to whom it was denied for far too long.
Check out the official trailer above.

Eye Candy: Gina Linda (Video)
October 21, 2015
Alright, so the cameraperson was maybe cold or… stunned by the sexy! Going with the latter to explain the jumpiness in the visuals… that I am not mad about because yooooooo Gina Linda is thicky-thick! The music is kinda aggressive, but that’d be understandable as Gina could certainly bring the animal out of someone.

Elzhi – “P.S.†(Prod. By Soledad Brother)
October 21, 2015
“I always beat myself up, like a producer rhyming.”
– Elzhi
Shiiiiiiiiiid! This is it, right here. The Soundcloud for this “P.S.” jawn was tagged with a #BackersOnly hash for; like it’s for the fans and supporters (e.g. folks that are ‘backing’ him). Ought to have a #BackPackersOnly tag, too. Lyricism on 10; and that icy hot boom bap beat…whew!
This is a loosey that will NOT be on Elzhi’s forthcoming “Lead Poison” album. Stream it above, and cop it via the link below if you want a copy. Very smooth. Very dope.
DOOM – “Rock Co.Kane Flow” (Video)
October 21, 2015
Here’s an angle. Don’t worry about doing a whole song, then a video for it. Take your dope part of a song, and present it visually. Get what’s dope to the people ASAP. DOOM’s contribution to De La Soul’s jawn “Rock Co.Kane Flow” on display above.

Slated for the forthcoming “ONEderful” project from DJ Rude One (on Closed Sessions, due out in 2016).

When Buck spits about the ‘home of The Originoo Gun Clappas‘… well, here it is.
Original Brooklyn resident Buckshot of Black Moon recalls the moment and spot he decided to drop out of Prospect Heights High School and pursue an internship at a music label.
Take a watch of the docu-clip above that goes back to the dawn of ‘Buckshot Shorty’ as an emcee and brings it forward. Full circle.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer (Official Trailer)
October 20, 2015
I’m cautious about getting too excited about Star Wars, but the trailer does look promising… The date is set (December 18, 2015) and the level fan-demonium will be off the charts as the debut date for this next installment (Episode VII) of the Star Wars saga nears. Check out the official trailer for “The Force Awakens” above (which will stoke the fan flames even more).
Drake – “Hotline Bling” (Video)
October 20, 2015
Well, now that we’ve had several others’ interpretations of Drizzy’s single “Hotline Bling”… it’s time for visuals from the man himself. Going in much? Yep. Can’t tell him he ain’t dancing his azz off in this video. Hahaaa!
Gotta say goodness gracious though. So much thickness! The Eye Candy is indeed spilling over edges in this video. Thank you for that, Drake.
Triple 9 (Redband Trailer) [NSFW]
October 20, 2015
The ‘redband trailer’ part pretty much means this clip is NSFW (Not Safe For Work). But since there is bloodshed AND nudity, perhaps an extra warning label is warranted. Scheming, betrayal, organized crime (international even), overt sexuality, explosions, and adrenaline rush car chases and action sequences. Check, check and all boxes check. Still, there seems to be an intriguing story.
See… corrupt cops get pulled into doing organized crime by a Russian mobster. A core element of their seedy plans was to be the killing of a rookie cop; you know, to throw good cops off their trail. And that’s where the story really gets started.
Due out February 2016. Now we know there will be more than DC Comics movies to watch in theaters next year.
(By the way, ‘9-9-9’ is the code for “officer down.†Now the “Triple 9” title of the movie makes sense.)

Eddie Murphy Accepts Mark Twain Prize And Does Bill Cosby Impression At Kennedy Center (Video)
October 19, 2015
Okay, it’s going to be some must-see TV on PBS on November 23, 2015. Comic legend Eddie Murphy was honored recently with the Mark Twain Prize; and PBS will broadcast the award show (recorded at the Kennedy Center) on that night. Most interesting is the title of the YouTube trailer, “Murphy Makes Cosby Jokes at Award Ceremony.”
On the one hand, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) was known for biting witticisms and tongue-in-cheek commentary; so joking on current events and taboo stuff would be par for his course, right? But focusing on Cosby controversy will get the poster some more hits… is what it is. On the other hand, the Cos jokes were an overwhelmingly small part of the clip. Most of the video features celeb admirers – including JB Smoove, a near teary-eyed Tracy Morgan, and best bud Arsenio Hall – there to celebrate a comedy idol.
The Bill Cosby jokes and impression, though, were hilarious. That’s a given. It’s Eddie. Plus, he’s been killing with the Cos play since “Raw.”

Some things are necessary. You give the world the ominous banger “Jason” (produced by Swizz Beatz). Then you follow it up with the dope visuals.

October 19, 2015
Always after her ‘Lucky Charms’… that’s me. Get it? The cereal with the Blue Diamonds? Nevermind, get some old schooler to explain it or Google it. But later for the Google; now we gotta ‘oogle’ someone special. Watching this Honey is a surefire way to get through this mess we call Monday. Cheerio! Like the cereal? Nothing?
(Tough crowd. Maybe dropping the Instagram link will help loosen ’em up.)

MondayFriday – “MF” (Video)
October 19, 2015
DOPE! No discussion needed, just a warning… A whole lotta head nodding ahead. Playing this video could be hazardous to your neck! MondayFriday (Yamin Semali and Illastrate) drops visuals for another gem off the “Monday/Friday” project; for “MF.” So much energy from a lyric video. Nice!
