Eye Candy: Shakur Sozahdah (Video)
August 4, 2014
Great day for a dip, especially with Shakur Sozahdah in her swimsuit-fitted glory. Glory hallelujah! Everybody into the pool. The playful exotic erotic Shakur is already in. That makes the water just fine!
Big shout out to the beautiful Shakur who hung out with us on the Beatz & Lyrics Show years ago. Great to see that back then she was just co-managing & assisting her homegirl Dollicia Bryant who we had on the show, but now she’s advancing her own career as well in the modeling game.

Activism/Education: The NDAA Explained In 3 Minutes (Video)
August 4, 2014
Think all you had to worry about regarding your life and liberty in the United States were possible unknown risks inherent to your food supply, and very known instances of police brutality? Think again. This mini-expo video should give you a quick shake and smack to wake you up to the real dangers of having government-sanctioned arrests, extractions, and detainment without due process (per the National Defense Authorization Act) and nearly no real oversight. This is part of the not-so-beautiful half Homeboy Sandman rapped about America…
Regardless of where on this planet you live, and no matter what your nationality, the fact that the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA are still on the books, should disturb you on a fundamental level. If not, give it three minutes.

PBS: “Finding Your Roots” With Dr. Henry Louis Gates Explores Celebrities’ Family Trees, Including Nas’ (Season Trailer)
August 1, 2014
“Now I’m looking into their world…”
– Nas
PBS is home to some incredible television. Real. Not ‘reality TV.’ Case in point: “Finding Your Roots” with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Following on a great inaugural season, Season 2 is going to be loaded with guests who want to know the depth of the roots of their family trees. Everyone will learn something stunning about themselves on the show. The G.O.D.M.C. Nassir Jones (aka Nas), shown among other celeb guests in the season trailer above, seemed very reflective about what Dr. Gates found and shared with him. Check out the trailer. And check local listings for broadcast times.

Comedy: Is There A Scientific Way To Know If She Is ‘Wifey’ Material? (Video)
August 1, 2014
Yep. The team at Tactical Response came with the wisdom. ‘Cuffing Season’ will be here before you know. So, guys need to know… is she the one, the winner; or just the one for the winter? Watch the embedded ‘informational’ video above. Get the tools. Arm yourself. Train yourself. Train your sights. And spot ’em!
Learn and use the Universal Hot-Crazy Matrix, a scientific method for finding wifey. Keep hunting for those unicorns, gentlemen. And don’t get so mad you don’t watch to the end, ladies. There’s a Matrix you can use to find what you desire, too.

TMZ: DMX Screaming His Heart Out On A Slingshot Ride (Video)
August 1, 2014
“I ain’t gone front. I’m scared as sh!t.”
– DMX
When a DMX hollers, and there’re no other rappers around, it definitely makes a sound. And great viral video. True, anything X does on camera is going viral nowadays; but this moment of humanity…looking fear dead in the face…conquering challenges at the height of… a carnival ride.
Hahaaa! This TMZ clip has made the rounds on the web. DMX having fun, meeting new folk (dude in the seat next to him with a reassuring, “It ain’t nuttin'”), and wildin’ out in general. Watch and chuckle.

M.O.P. – “187”
August 1, 2014
Hypeness. Hip-Hop excellence all over this one. Billy Danze and Fame (known together as M.O.P.) ripping on the track made by… um… Fizzy Womack? Oh wait, that’s Fame! He made this beat. With scratches by DJ Premier. It’s lyrical murder – “187.”Â

Opinion: Neil deGrasse Tyson Says GMOs Are A-OK, Okay? (Video)
August 1, 2014
Cosmos host and all-around smart brother Neil deGrasse Tyson recently put the shut down commentary on all the fear-mongering around GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) in our food.
“There are no wild, seedless watermelons. There’s no wild cows. There’s no long-stemmed roses growing in the wild (although we don’t eat roses)…We are creating and modifying the biology of the world to serve our needs. I don’t have a problem with that, because we’ve been doing that for tens of thousands of years. So chill out.â€
– Neil deGrasse Tyson
I’m chill. I just don’t totally agree. I’ve posted on this here. I know Monsanto is so big that we are probably consuming something GMO more often than we know and/or want. But does that mean I give in and give it the it’s-probably-okay thumbs up? Even if Dr. Tyson says so. No! Still American. Still got my sense and sensibility about things. When you go to the fruit and veggie stand on the side of the road, you see hand-picked food – blemishes, bugs and all. Not looking too tasty always; but hey, at least you know what’s up. Monsanto GMOs look real nice in the produce aisle mixed in with the natural/organic fruit and vegetables. Cool. But why is it so hard to get info that tells shoppers what is made from GMOs (esp. when other food producers have been stamping no-GMO on their products). Hmm? Now, if we just agree that it’s so pervasive that we cannot do anything large-scale about all this GMO/altered food now? I can go there. I’m shopping for my food, not growing it year-round. And I’m not rich. So, I have to purchase what is available.
I’m chill.
I respect and will read/listen to Dr. Tyson’s opinion; but remain skeptical. Skepticism does not engender hate. It is characteristic of critical thinkers and free-willed people who are okay with making up their own minds and letting others do the same. They also are able to reevaluate their positions as new information becomes available, if they choose to do so.
(Oh, about that rose thing. Ever smelled a rose from the flower shop? Not really a smell at all, right? Smell one off a homegrown bush. It’s not as pretty, and it will wilt quickly after plucking; but it will smell so sweet!)

Interstellar (Trailer)
July 31, 2014
Murphy’s Law doesn’t mean something bad will happen. It means whatever can happen will happen.
A sci-fi movie trailer teased by the man who brought The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan) himself, at a Comic Con that had already teased a new ‘Batman’ in a movie… yeah, that happened. But this November. Woooo! “Interstellar” travel will be here (in theaters)! The trailer is awesome. The casting looks spot on to tell the epic tale it teases. Prediction: Extreme dopeness ahead! Had to load this post with so many snaps after the jump. So much visual excellence. Watch above.

Eye Candy: Kelsey Adams At Her ‘Kool’ Beach Photo Shoot (Video)
July 31, 2014
What a find! It’s like super cute, super Kool Kelsey Adams pretty much fed me the notes for this post from her Instagram profile. She’s a gorgeous apple [bottom] from The Big Apple (New York). And if there is a better blend of Lebanese, Italian, and African American, I haven’t seen it yet. She acts, she models (tastefully done like whoa!). She even coaches models. She’s a Libra…leading me to believe she’s balanced (e.g. she is probably actually cool in person).
Nice Honey right here. Enjoy her day at the beach (Miami baby!) above. And you can follow her [nude at times] beach body via @KoolKelsey on Instagram.
