Comedy: Jimmy Fallon Sings “Hello” With Lionel Richie… Sort Of (Video)
Gotta love when Fallon goes old school; always a special musical comedic experience. Watch here above, as he turns in a rendition of Lionel Richie’s R&B classic “Hello.” He has landed the ultimate assist on this song/sketch, too; Mr. Lionel Richie himself. Well, his head, at least.
(What makes it funny is how they keep straight faces throughout the silliness they are putting down. Good stuff!)

Mac Miller – “Speed Racer” (Produced By Chase N. Cashe)
So here’s a dope loosey. Chase N. Cashe laid down a beat. Mac Miller spit that funky, fiery, funny (some hilariousness, some weirdness) on it. And we have “Speed Racer” like viola! Sometimes you get a Hip-Hop gift. Don’t question; just listen.

Yep. That’s the best description for it. And nope, that doesn’t quite cover it. But yep, you will enjoy it… perhaps enough to cop the album here.

Â Well Westside Gunn serves up some Head Nod Hip Hop with his track “The Town” that features his partner Conway and the OG Sadat X. Â The track is produced by Daringer and it’s gritty with a soulful feel to it. Â Love to see the new cats working with the legends of the game!

Carmelo Anthony Goes To Cuba To Cover Soccer, Soak In The Culture and Scoop Some Cigars (Video)
Very dope. And the time is right. Soccer (e.g. football, futbol) being the world sport it is, America being a leading sports nation, and Melo being a leading sportsman from America…
Throughout the NBA off-season VICE Sports and Carmelo Anthony are exploring street sport cultures around the world. In our premiere episode, Melo travels to Cuba to explore the rise of soccer in a nation synonymous with baseball, ride a 1950s drop top in the rain, and grab some fresh rolled Cuban cigars along the way.
Carmelo was a good choice for a correspondent, too. This VICE Sports piece felt more like interesting leisure than intense learning; enriching experience captured on video either way.
Miguel Gives A Mini-Concert To Raise Awareness And Help Poor Working Class Families (Video)
This is what art is for: touching the lives of people where they live. Miguel, doing so sharing his music and a personal backstory to connect, gave a private mini-concert in partnership with the Make Room group (www.MakeRoomUSA.org). About 35 lives will never be the same. People packed into a small home outside Detroit (Michigan, USA), singing, clapping and getting a little chocked up; while Miguel uses his gift and platform as a performing artist to raise awareness of working single parents struggling to keep roofs over their families’ heads.
Start watching above as Miguel does “Coffee.” Then check out “What’s Normal Anyway” and “Adorn” after the jump to round out the set.
