Alchemist – “Shut The F#ck Up” (Not Safe For Work Version) [Video]
September 22, 2014
Man, hurry up and hit play before the powers that be take this one down, too. We put as many screen shots (after the jump) up to capture the Alchemist’s insanity for this “Shut The F#ck Up” (Not Safe For Work Version). It’s real short and NOT sweet… but should definitely pique your interest for the coming instrumental album “Rapper’s Best Friend 3” (due out September 30, 2014; pre-order available on iTunes now).

Sango – “When I’m Around U†(Instrumental)
September 21, 2014
Okay… this is what we got out of nowhere from the often enigmatic Sango sharing “When I’m Around U”… Song of Solomon 2:10-13. So, we Googled.
- 10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
- “Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
- and come away,
- 11 for behold, the winter is past;
- the rain is over and gone.
- 12 The flowers appear on the earth,
- the time of singing has come,
- and the voice of the turtledove
- is heard in our land.
- 13 The fig tree ripens its figs,
- and the vines are in blossom;
- they give forth fragrance.
- Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
- and come away.
That’s it. Vibe and meditate on love this day. Enjoy this instrumental sermonette from Sango…

Talking ‘Bout Biggie And More: NBA’s John Starks Has Answers For ESPN’s ‘Highly Questionable’ (Video)
September 19, 2014
This episode of ESPN’s Highly Questionable will be highly memorable for one reason: Starks stuck to the ‘G’ Code… No snitching! Former NBA standout John Starks declares that Notorious B.I.G.’s song “I Got A Story To Tell” was not about him. It was about one of his New York Knicks teammates… You can guess all you want though… ’cause Starks will NOT speak on it!
But watch the whole video though. Memories and chuckles shared by the bag boy turned pro baller Starks.
