Pharrell Williams Talks With CNN’s Don Lemon About Mike Brown, Ferguson Fallout And More (Video)
September 10, 2014
Okay, so Talib Kweli’s friend Pharrell Williams’ talk with Don Lemon went way better than Kweli’s. Check it. A self-admitted apolitical celeb, the singer/producer weighs in with comments on the situation in Ferguson (Missouri, USA), on Michael Brown’s death and more. Much more; even in this short clip.
This is gonna be the longest hangover in race relations…ever!

R&B: Joe – “If You Lose Her†(Prod. By Derek Allen x Gerald Isaac) [Video]
September 10, 2014
When she’s gone, you’ll know how much she’s worth.
– Joe
Soulful singer Joe has another masterpiece on his hands – “Bridges” – ready for you to get it into your hands (rather, iTunes library). In this new music video for “If You Loser Her†(directed by industry vet Billie Woodruff), Joe starts on stage crooning some of that grown and sexy sound to a lady alone in the venue… as a compelling story concept plays out; beginning with her man coming in late… maybe too late. Gotta watch. Single produced by Derek Allen & Gerald Isaac. Got that album link for you if after that you want to cop.

U2 – “Songs Of Innocence” (Album) [Free To The First 500 Million Downloaders] (Video)
September 10, 2014
The World’s Greatest Band putting the good rock out there for the fans to roll with… for FREE… If you are not yet a fan, get with the [free] program; and get over to iTunes for your copy of U2’s latest!
(Hopefully, ‘supplies’ have not run out.)
Above, the band took to the stage in conjunction with the U2/Apple/iTunes release announcement for “Songs of Innocence.” Hence the clip above, with Tim Cook (CEO of Apple) and Bono (U2 lead singer) making the announcement & countdown to release and a smidgen of performance footage.
“From the very beginning U2 have always wanted our music to reach as many people as possible, the clue is in our name I suppose—so today is kind of mind-blowing to us. The most personal album we’ve written could be shared with half a billion people… by hitting send. If only songwriting was that easy. It’s exciting and humbling to think that people who don’t know U2 or listen to rock music for that matter might check us out.â€

Comedy: It’s The Fallon Family vs. The Roots On ‘Tonight Show Family Feud’ (Video)
September 10, 2014
Any and everybody has probably had a good belly laugh watching Steve Harvey host the long-running syndicated game show Family Feud. The clips on the Internet alone crack me up every time I see them. Well, as Jimmy Fallon’s guest on The Tonight Show, Harvey hosts a mini-version of the game with Fallon heading one fam against Questlove and his Roots crew. And comedy ensues!
Of course, performers with a natural silly gene will really go for the funny; but some go overboard and mess it up. Not this though. Hilarious stuff. Never thought ‘ding dong’ could be so funny. C’mon, it’s late night TV… so they could go there a bit. Watch this bit (above).

Nardwuar Has Aziz Ansari On For His Favorite Interview Ever! (Video)
September 9, 2014
Nardwuar, the Human Serviette, earns another title. Comedian/actor Aziz Ansari’s favorite interview ever! Oh sure, Nard does the usual interview bits -Â gifts and trinkets and off-the-wall questions tied to Aziz’s past – to throw him off balance and eventually bring him back into what becomes a calm yet comfortably quirky chat.
Nardwuar interviews Aziz Ansari at Oddball Comedy Fest in Auburn, WA USA
His brother meeting Master P, his demands of the South Carolina government for its famous citizens, Q-Bert swag… blows Ansari away. Us, too.
(Comedian Hannibal Burress set this interview up? Funny dude. Cool.)

September 8, 2014
Hmmm… Kendrick Lamar had a shot at the “3 Kings” beat first, huh? Interesting. Well, it wasn’t like the music was wasted. Rozay did the work (listen here). Jake One beats should never be. Check him out as he explains how the beat came to be for the Behind The Beat series.
I finally show you how I made Rick Ross feat. Jay Z and Dr. Dre “3 Kings.” The drum sounds for this song and many others from my personal library are available on snarejordan.com
