Race (Trailer)
October 16, 2015
Looks good. The Jesse Owens story should be told with reverence, passion and a duty to the entire truth. A talented brother who wanted, worked and deserved to be the best. He was, and when he went to the Olympics; the world would soon know, too.
Track and field star Jesse Owens overcomes adversity to win four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games.
But Jesse and his people deserved, even before all that, to be FREE. And yes, he let the world know that, too. Check out the trailer. Should be something special hitting theater screens February 2016.

The Internet – “Get Away” (Video)
October 16, 2015
Haaaa! Syd’s gonna let her ladies drive her damn crazy. Naaah, never that (hopefully); just blow smoke and chill in the cloud. Sure, but how is it that her and the band (The Internet always got each other) are in this video WILDIN’ to what seems to be a mellow trance song experience. Dunno, but the end result is pretty good. Check out the visuals above and the link to an earlier post to get hits like “Get Away” on their latest project “Ego Death” (out now).

Muslim Counter-Protest Strategy: Kindness Conquers Hate And Fear (Video)
October 16, 2015
So, another dope clip from AJ+ shows up in my Facebook feed: This time about a one-woman Anti-Muslim protest outside a mosque in Ohio. Police were on hand, and it could have gone badly but… well, I won’t spoil the clip. However, what I will do is embed The Young Turks commentary on the clip above. Sure, they have a boldly liberal slant on almost all things; but I always admire the way they come with a combination level-headed delivery and passion in their interpretation. Same here. The original clip, which I’m betting you will love, appears after the jump. But TYT head honcho Cenk and analyst Ana above… They will make you think. Good stuff!
One of the anti-Muslim rallies that happened in the country didn’t have the best turnout. A protest in Ohio only attracted one demonstrator. She was greeted by Muslim protestors who wanted to educate her on their religion. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Eye Candy: Shonda Shivdasani (Video)
October 15, 2015
‘Cause when I seen ’em thighs on her
and them hips on her and them lips on her
Got me daydreaming, man what!
– J. Cole, “Wet Dreamz”
Mannnn, damn! Cole took the words right out of my mouth. But I would add that Shonda Shivdasani’s gaze has a coyness and cuteness about it that is killing me. Thickness perfection with the boom bap for a soundtrack. I’m done! Shonda, you got me in love at noontime. Congratulations.
And y’all get the Instagram hookup for extra ogling… congratulations!

The 2015 BET Cyphers: Def Squad Reunited (Video)(Video)
October 15, 2015
The headline says it all; like its own byline. Did you see the Cyphers this year? Always the best part of the BET Hip-Hop Awards. We expect a ‘wow’ moment or two from the Awards’ broadcast; and a Cypher is a good bet for a source. Well, there was [at least] a BIG one in this year’s – Erick Sermon, Keith Murray and Redman spitting with DJ Scratch taking the Preemo spot (see what we did there?) for the set. Def Squad comes back to life for the night! Good to see.
Click the pic above to start with the Squad. Got the rest of this year’s Cyphers linked after the jump.

Technology: Boeing Innovations Has Made A Metal That Is Almost As Light As Air (Video)
October 14, 2015
If you can watch this and think it’s not cool as sh!t… we’re gonna need you to reevaluate what cool tech is. In a word: WOW!
Microlattice is the lightest metal ever made. At 99.99% air, it’s light enough to balance on top of a dandelion, while its structure makes it strong. Strength and record breaking lightness make it a potential metal for future planes and vehicles.

Nitty Scott, MC – “Generation Now” (Prod. By Chuck Strangers) [Video]
October 14, 2015
Right hand up, swearing this post was placed at noontime off the sexiness of Nitty. But she went deep and philosophical (like that Bill Hicks audio in there, see after the jump) immediately! Then we had to realize the other side of the comma. This lady right here… this lady right HERE… is an MC! Oh, by the way, visuals above for “Generation Now” (off “The Art Of Chill” album, which we posted earlier here) was directed by Nitzia Scott. That’s right, she directed this vid shoot, too. Made sure we got the messages therein. Like…
If every eight-year-old was taught their meditation,
I think we’d have peace for an entire generation.
Love her. She is so Hip-Hop. And that is beautiful!
