Comedy: The Mannings ‘Fantasy’ – Coming Live And DIRECT With The Flows (Video)
Confirmed. Every athlete wants to be a rapper… EVERY… athlete. So, finally the Brothers Manning (Peyton and Eli) admit and act on the fantasy… together! HILARIOUS! Relax, it’s a spoof video for a fantasy…football league. It’s not like they’ll retire soon with major accomplishments in the sport, money, and a lot of time on their hands to pursue a post-NFL passion.
Uh oh.
Okaaaay… we HOPE it’s a spoof video. Really…It’s for a DirecTV Fantasy Football ad (this time).
Black Milk x BADBADNOTGOOD – “Now or Neverâ€

We recommend that you play “Now or Never†on 10…preferably in a residential area (heh, “The Chronic” flashback). This track was leaked in advance of Converse’s “CONS EP Vol. 2” compilation (due out November 2014). Check it out…FREE!
First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage…Then Kim Kardashian Comes To Sit On The ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Couch And Talk About It (Video)
Jimmy Kimmel Live! welcomes the Yeezus [Dime]Piece… Kim Kardashian (the Armenian formally known as Mrs. West). She and Jimmy discuss her and Kanye West’s recent wedding event. KimYe did it like no other. Everyone we know books a location months (up to more than a year) in advance of the wedding day; but the soon-to-be-Wests just went from France to Italy as a site like that. And guests still made it! And your folks probably get a photographer, but do you get photography from the likes of Steve McQueen? Outside of this being a press-worthy event, Kim and Kanye seemed to have done their best to make marital memories that will last them a lifetime.
Whatever you feel about how important it is to “Keep Up With…” any Kardashian, you should watch the interview clips (starting above; continuing after the jump). The chat is light and lively. Lady Kim is as demur and lovely as any blushing bride… You get a feel for Kim as a person rather than a paparazzi target; even amid the silliness that is Kimmel.

Scholarships for the youth; this year raising over a million dollars’ worth. Check out the celebs in the house, including but not limited to, hosting duties held down by fellow ATL-ien Ludacris.
Reunited: Wu-Tang Appears On ‘The Daily Show’ With Jon Stewart And Performs “Ron O’Neal” (Video)
Ha! Here’s the vid. Wu-Tang was on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart the other night to talk up their re-union in front of the hometown crowd; and to do a performance of their new single “Ron O’Neal.” Decent. They took the on-air broadcast home with a performance of “Triumph.” See the performance clips after the jump. Start with the interview above.

Comedy: What Men Are Really Saying When Catcalling Women (Video)
A lot of times I find myself laughing at comedy that hits home in some way. Watch this vid. To be clear what these dudes are doing is ridiculous…BUT… I have literally watched women end up falling into my brothers’ and cousins’ arms when they approached with some similar silliness. Hahaaa, I remember when one was at the student union building on campus with me back in the day; and he said aloud, “Hey girl, lemme holler atcha. YAAAAUUURRRGGGGHHH!”
She… um… she responded well to that witty approach.
So, I’m laughing, and winking; and enjoying. Poking fun at the men folk. Watch and chuckle up.

“Trigga Da Gambler saw it. He saw it… The police said, ‘Take it around the corner’…”
– Keith Murray
Hahaaaaaa! This video is hilarious for the most part (all of it is great). Mainly there to chat about his upcoming battle with Fredro Starr (of Onyx). But WAY more came out in this interview. Watch and delight in a lot of untold stories told as only the ‘astronomical’ emcee Keith Murray could tell them.

Last Stop on the 4 Train: A Visit to the Masters (Documentary)
“Last Stop on the 4 Train” documents Jazz history by relating conversations and stories between three modern music gurus. The greats they celebrate as they ‘conversate’ – like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Jackie McLean, Max Roach, Milt Jackson, and Lionel Hampton – have been laid to rest at what must be considered a shrine of the Jazz Masters, Woodlawn Cemetery. That’s where the train is going, the venue for the convo, though you will see the story reaches far beyond that. The music has no final resting place; and these guys’ stories breathe in new life and insight. Music greats are immortals; and the linkages and influence to and on Hip-Hop will be made clear and plain by the end of this train ride.
Artists and enthusiasts John Robinson (emcee, Jazz visionary), Thomas Simmons (Jazz radio DJ), and T.C. III (Jazz vocalist, son of Jazz legends Trudy Pitts and Bill “Mr. C†Carney) bring pedigree and passion to telling stories that should delight Jazz heads old and new; as well as the crate diggers out here. Start with the trailer/teaser above. Then hit the jump to get into parts 1 and 2 below.

Lebron James Homecoming Party In Ohio Not Much Different Than The Miami Heat’s 2010 Pep Rally (Video)
Here’s the full video of Lebron James’ Homecoming party in Akron Ohio. In this full-length video Lebron states that he doesn’t plan on eventually leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers or the state of Ohio. It’s rather ironic how hypocritical fans & the media have been since Lebron decided to return to his home state. The Miami Heat inherited all of Lebron’s hate when he left & even protected him while he was playing in Miami. The pep rally & everything the Miami Heat did when Lebron & Chris Bosh joined D-Wade in Miami was criticized by the media, but his homecoming pep rally in this video was celebrated. You can say that now the Miami Heat have officially become ‘Villains’ or ‘Anti-Heroes’ largely because of Lebron. It wasn’t like that prior to 2010. Personally I don’t feel he should have left Miami after the way the Cavs owner Dan Gilbert & some of the racist comments & taunts from fans in Ohio acted. Ultimately it’s Lebron’s life to live and he ultimately has to do what’s best for him & his family. Barring injury or any other unforseen circumstance I believe he will be considered to be the best ever to play the game. We’ll see how things turn out up there for the long haul though because as Lebron said himself, he didn’t come back to make himself happy….He came back to try to make his city & state happy.
AEBL Hoops ‘Final Four’ Playoffs, ‘3-Point’ & ‘Slam Dunk’ Contests Taking Place This Weekend
Considered to be Atlanta’s answer to NY’s Rucker Park, the AEBL (Atlanta Entertainment Basketball League) continues to grow quickly in popularity in only what I believe to be it’s second full season of existence. NBA stars such as Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard & many other entertainers have come out in support & to take in the games. This weekend proves to be no different & only better. It’s playoff time with the ‘final four’ of the tournament games taking place tonight at 6pm & the final championship game on Sunday in addition to a 3-point & Slam Dunk contest. If you happen to be in Atlanta, this is something you may definitely want to come out at Central Park 400 Merrits Ave in Atlanta. Shouts out to @AEBLHoops!

‘Mission Impossible’ aka Jordan Kilganon in ‘White Men Can Jump’ (Video)
He’s not exactly ‘White Chocolate’ by looking at his hairstyle or swagger, but 6’1 basketball player Jordan Kilganon got busy up in New York City’s Rucker Park last week with a series of ill dunks. I believe the host of the event gave him the nickname ‘Mission Impossible’ loosely based on Jordan’s Tom Cruise inspired hair cut. Hahaaaaa! No matter what it’s easy to see ‘Mr. Mission Impossible’ has some hydraulics in his legs. Skill is skill son & Woody Harrelson’s character in the 1992 film ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ would be proud. Maybe he’ll come down & make an appearance in Atlanta this weekend with NBA stars like Dwight Howard for the ABEL (Atlanta Entertainment Basketball League)‘s upcoming 3-point & Slam Dunk contest this Sunday 8/8/14. The ABEL is Atlanta’s version of what goes down at the Rucker in New York City with games taking place Saturday at 6pm & contests on Sunday. Shouts to HoodMixtape & @AEBLHOOPS

Eye Candy: The Ice Cream Man Delivers These Cool Treats (Video) [NSFW]
(Careful: Not Suitable For Work. Know this. These lovely ladies are wearing little more than body paint and gorgeous smiles. So, maybe don’t click play at your desk, okay? Take this to break with ya!)
Ason Productions swings for the fence! Video of painted but nekkid babes bouncing after the cool treats truck. Chewing on cream bars while the music blends ‘Ice Cream Man’ (Master P’s hood hit), ‘Ice Cream’ (the Wu Tang banger) and other music, featuring bars, into one helluva soundtrack.
(The one girl running after the truck in heels made me chuckle. This whole video just makes me happy from head to toe!)

Dilated Peoples Continue Going ‘Deep’ Until Their Focus Is ‘Found’ (Video)
Well, well. Turns out that the “Finding Focus” clip posted a week or so ago was just the beginning of a three-parter. No problem catching up (if you haven’t already)…just play part 2 (“Deep Focus”) above and part 3 (“Focus Found”) after the jump and you are up to speed. On deck for the discussion: Part 2 goes deep indeed, with each member of Dilated Peoples musing about their music making process coming from a major label environment to going the Indie route; pro and con. In part 3, the “Directors of Photography” LP is once again at the center of the of the convo; what it’s about and how an appreciation for photography plays in. Good stuff.
