Raekwon Describes His Hood Hero Character ‘King Kwon’ (Video)

Now Kendrick’s superhero character ‘Hardbody’ was dope, but The Wu Chef took it up a step. Raekwon described his hero persona, King Kwon, as the dude who is always around and always looking out. Armed with Hater Spray and the Upgrade Spray, King Kwon would stand ready to convert haters (or have his super partner Eraser Head ‘wipe them out’ if they’re suckas) and help out deserving folks in the hood who are trying to do for self. Cool premises and super teamwork. Nice! Enjoy this animation-enhanced episode of “Super…” featuring Raekwon.

Comedy: Meet The New HR Manager For ‘The Nightly Show’… Cam’ron (Video)

Larry Wilmore is going hard nowadays. The Nightly Show must protect itself from external AND internal threats to the brand. Moving to do so, he (chuckle) hires a new Human Resources manager to ensure no employee problems mess up the workplace culture or the Show’s rep. Larry will not get caught slipping like Amazon’s CEO did. And don’t worry, Killa Cam is highly qualified and motivated to ‘take care’ of personnel things as HR Manager.

Hilarious! Watch.

Comedy: Mike Epps Gives Action Bronson ‘The Ghostface’ (Video)

Baaahahaaa! Okay, ‘Day-Day’ is stupid!

“…don’t ask for no more of my donuts…NONE OF THAT SH!T…You’re like a big red leprechaun…you ate my snacks, Action…you done f#cked up…”

Mike Epps lampooned the beef-with-Bronson video Ghostface Killah posted weeks ago (in response to off-handed remarks Action Bronson made during an ESPN guest appearance). That was awkward. This is hilarious!

(More silliness after the jump.)

Too Far To Walk? Nowhere To Park? WalkCar Lets You Ride In And Take Your ‘Ride’ With You (Video)

Wow! Are you seeing this? It’s like they’ve almost figured out a futuristic George Jetson car; one that you can ride to work and carry into the office. Now, if they could only make it fly (like this one here). WalkCar is the world’s smallest electric car, as small as a laptop. Super cool transportation tech! You steer it with your body movements; so it’s not a big effort to learn to operate. This could be the biggest thing is small vehicles EVER!

Soon to start fundraising via Kickstarter. Pre-orders for WalkCar will be taken starting October 2015.

Hmm… Did I say “could” be the biggest…? Nah, this WILL be huge! For more on this compact, powerful mini-vehicle innovation from Tokyo’s Cocoa Motors, visit the company website www.cocoamotors.com

Homeboy Sandman – “Arrows” (Prod. By Mondee)

Homeboy Sandman dropped a new loosey entitled “Arrows” full of enough hotness for it light itself and smoke. Love the way he starts. He cannot pick a best emcee. Hard to even pick a top 5. He declares that a rapper is either rocking it or whack (no in-between); proceeding to toss several of the best names in the biz. No…he doesn’t name himself, but this rhyme adds evidence to justify the charge of being a dope emcee. Check it out!

Alternative: FKA twigs – “M3LL155X” (Video)

FKA twigs let her “M3LL155X” EP go on iTunes. You could go get that now, but I implore you to watch her EP video (yeah, you read right) before you go to i-downloading or Apple picking or whatever you young folk are doing nowadays. I am not afraid to tell y’all that I just don’t “get” a lot of this visual presentation. Alternative is an understatement when we are talking about FKA twigs.

But then again, so is beautiful. She is gorgeous!
