Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives (Trailer)
October 6, 2015
Well, the Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign obviously went well. And now (drum roll), click play above for the trailer for “Stretch And Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives.”
During the 1990s, Stretch and Bobbito introduced the world to an unsigned Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, and Big Pun as well as an unknown Jay-Z, Eminem, and The Fugees. The total record sales for all the artists that premiered on their radio show exceed 300 million. The late night program had a cult following in the art/fashion world and prison population as well. All would loyally tune in for the humor just as much for the exclusive tunes. Stretch and Bobbito brought a unique audience together, and created a platform that changed music forever.
The movie will be available via Vimeo On Demand on October 22, 2015. Hit the link to pre-order.

Wowww… is that the dude that played Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale) in the “Boardwalk Empire” series?

Jhené Aiko – “Lyin’ King” (Video)
October 5, 2015
After the jump, we have the actual notes Jhené Aiko provided with regard to the story she is trying to tell. Since folks usually won’t admit “not getting it” when presented with high concept videos, let us take that hit for you.
Declaration: This video will leave you going, “Whhaaaat the…” when you first watch it. At least most of it. But please watch it for this promise: Jhené will lay a dude down, the clothing does come off, she does get on top, she will leave him shaking in a daze, reaching desperately for her as she walks away.
Very primal. Check it.
