Mobb Deep Speaks On Being Ready For Beef & Being Sampled Often (Video)
April 29, 2015
When Mobb Deep would say, “There’s a war going on outside, no man is safe from” … sh!t was real? Yes. And they stayed ready for ‘the realness.’ Hear about it from Hav and Prodigy themselves; and the respect they have for those who sampled them (as they considered doing so a compliment).

Stronger, Faster, Cheaper: Robots Are Replacing China’s Work Force (Video)
April 28, 2015
Very interesting. Over here in The States, folks dread the coming of robotic innovations that could cost them their jobs for the sake of manufacturing efficiency and cost effectiveness. But in China, where they have a lot of people, there is a shortage of “blue collar” workers. In other words, Chinese manufacturers claim that they don’t have enough workers around to complain. Their money-saving initiative involving robots would not be to replace workers; rather to avoid having to pay high wages to woo laborers or move to where the workers live. I wonder how this plays out for the average Chinese worker in a communist society as compared to here in a capitalist society like here the U.S. It seems like the companies in China could be fazing out the average worker, but are these corporations sharing in the workers’ ability to find work, sharing in the profits, or assisting them in pursuing their dreams elsewhere.
Check it.
Jim Jones – “The Intro” feat. Mel Matrix, Sen City, Trav & T.W.O (Video)
April 28, 2015
“Selling Drugs will get you caked up, It will also get you Long Years” – Jim Jones
This is my favorite song that I dig off of Dipset Capo Jim Jones’s recent project “We Own the Night, Pt. 2: Memoirs of a Hustler” that dropped back in September. Definitely one of the standout tracks from the EP & the production on it alone provides the proper soundscape as we now we have the brand new video directed by Donjai Gilmore & Young Prop being released today.

Killer Mike Speaks On Race And Politics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) [Video]
April 28, 2015
That White House Correspondents’ Dinner we just posted on? Yeah… Killer Mike was there. The man is up on his politics to say the least. He also lectured at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as part of the university’s ‘Hip-Hop Speaker’ Series. Intelligent discourse at one of America’s well-known gatherings of advanced thinkers. Killer Kill has always spoken up (and well) on issues regarding Hip-Hop politics and humanity. The clips from MIT (starting above, continuing after the jump) give more testimony to that.

Wowwww… and we’re thinking we have immigration issues in the U.S.? Check out this “Europe Or Die” docu-series VICE put together.
Since 2000, more than 27,000 migrants and refugees have died attempting the perilous journey to Europe. With an unprecedented number of people breaking through its heavily barricaded borders in 2014, the EU continues to fortify its frontiers.

Swedish Cops Actions Reflect A Model For Professional Restraint (Video)
April 28, 2015
Proud American. Proud Alabamian. Native of Tuskegee. If you got jokes, go on and let them fly. Okay, while they’re yammering, please watch the above video and let me speak on this.
This clip exemplifies what it means to be a PEACE officer; not an officer with a piece. Like everyone else contributing to this visual going viral, what I applaud is the COURAGE these PROFESSIONALS exhibited; putting themselves IN DANGER when (as visitors) they could have remained bystanders… AND how they CHOSE to employ TRAINING, JUDGEMENT, and CARE… to PROTECT and SERVE everyone on the train (including the two fighting).
Now, I have not mentioned nationality yet. The above emphasized traits are those we hope peace officers worldwide would universally apply. Hopefully, police exhibit such traits regularly in Sweden. I don’t know. Hopefully, their citizenry appreciates law enforcement behavior norms like those in the clip as we would. That said, I have no beef with police; yet I still find myself scared at times that they may ‘find’ beef with me or my folks. Hopefully, the model behavior shown above fuels our desire to find, and make viral, images of our TRAINED PROFESSIONALS using JUDGEMENT and CARE as they PROTECT and SERVE us. And if those clips are too rare to be found and made to go viral… Hopefully, we will DISCOVER what it will take to make it so us witnessing good cop behavior is not so rare.
Look. I want responsible caring police professionals ready to serve in my community. Yes, I do. Admittedly, I am not sure that is the case in a lot of cases right now; but I really want it to be. Yes, I do. I believe this is possible. Do you?
Let’s discuss. Tweet me or leave a comment.

Sean Price – “S.E.A.N.”
April 28, 2015

P!!!!!!!!

APB: “Artists Against Police Brutality” Comic Book (Artwork)
April 28, 2015
A comic book titled APB: “Against Police Brutality” detailing Police Brutality is being put together by Rosarium Publishing. Â Submissions for the project are still being submitted but Artist Ashley A. Woods has been released and it is a telling much needed piece. Â The Artist/Illustrator hailing from Chicago created a touching memoriam piece that features Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Amadou Diallo, Cary Ball Jr, John Crawford, Miriam Carey, Rekia Boyd, Tanisha Anderson, and Yvette Smith. Â Sadly all of these Black men and women were killed by Police officers and with all of the unrest going on in Baltimore this looks like something that will continue.

April 27, 2015
Somebody… other than you, let’s say, is not up on their Marvel Universe movie watching. That somebody might feel a bit behind the 8-ball about the sure-fire blockbuster everyone will be talking about after this weekend. So many movies (“Thor,” “Iron Man”… like eleven movies) and TV episodes (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agent Carter) and comic book issues feed into “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” How can you help ‘your friend’ out? Have them watch this vid with you.
That’s the way. You’re a good friend for doing this. Now press play and catch (your friend) up.
President Obama Calls On ‘Luther’, The Anger Translator, During Speech at WHCA Dinner (Video)
April 27, 2015
“Hold on to your lily white butts!”– ‘Luther’ The Anger Translator
This is classic!! America’s media pretty much has carte blanche in matters of merrymaking at The President’s expense. But imagine a comedy schtick that the President is actually in on! President Obama makes humorous remarks at the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) every year, sure. But this year, he “borrows” Keegan Michael Key (of Comedy Central’s “Key and Peele”) to do his ‘Luther’ thing for some over-the-top hilarity. Journalists, politicians and celebrities at the dinner seemed to cheer as Key steps to the podium about as loud as you’d expect they would for The President. The routine the duo does is subdued (sorta) but what Key and President Obama pull off here… Well, this ought to show up in somebody’s history book! Enjoy.

Lean in for this one: Mr. Scarface stops by Power 105 for a Breakfast Club interview.

He talked about his book – which in part expresses dark suicidal thoughts and insights on what he would say to someone else trying to make it through what he did.
And of course, he went deep on the Geto Boys. Great watch!

Flashback 1969: The Doors frontman ‘Jim Morrison’ Accurately Predicted The Future Of Music (Video)
April 27, 2015
Jim Morrison, legendary frontman of the classic rock band ‘The Doors’, prognosticates the direction of music’s evolution… from the year 1969 (partial transcript of the above video follows):
“I think the two basic types of music in this country are Black music — blues — and the kind of folk music that was brought over from Europe… Those are the two main streams of root American music…”
“But 10 years ago, what they called rock ’n roll was kind of a blending of those two forms. I guess in four or five years, the new generation’s music… It will have a synthesis of those two elements and some third thing that will be in — maybe it will be … it might rely heavily on electronics, tapes… I can kind of envision maybe one person with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronics set up, singing or speaking and using machines.” – Jim Morrison
