No Good Deed (Trailer)
July 1, 2014
I mean… he’s no Jeremy Meeks… but it’s sistas’ favorite Brit Brother Idris Elba …being a true bad guy. A monster. But that’s alright, ladies. Drag your dude to see this one. Tell him Taraji P. Henson’s sexy azz is co-starring…And it’s a thriller, so you know you gotta squeeze in real tight and put all that body on your strong man for protection when things get scary.
Ought to be good. Remember folks. It’s just a movie. Trailer is promising a really good movie though! In theaters September 2014.

John Robinson x PVD – All of the World (Video)
June 30, 2014
John Robinson and PVD ‘get down like James Brown‘ on this “All of the World.” Their people dropped the video AND the radio edit in the inbox. Respect for that. Scooped it right out and put ’em both up for you to enjoy. So, here’s the latest single and video from the “Modern Vintage” album (out now). Very cool.

Technology: Boeing Is Building America’s First Space Taxi (Video)
June 30, 2014
Boeing is actually doing it y’all! America’s first space taxi. The video above covers design aspects, features simulations and explanations, and boasts that its taxi drivers (e.g. mini shuttle pilots) can be trained and ready to go in 9 months. Smaller, lighter vehicles. Private space flights. In two decades’ time it will be like catching a cab here and now. Of course, first flights will probably cost a good grip… but the price should get manageable enough to put on your bucket list soon enough after.
(Good. Let ’em work out the bugs on rich folk. Ha!)

VICE: New Ebola Outbreak In Liberia (Video)
June 30, 2014
“Ebola is one of those words. You can say it anywhere in the world; and it evokes fear.”
– Dr. Joseph Fair
This is real life; not a Dustin Hoffman movie. West Africa is being plagued by a new outbreak of Ebola—a. Victims bleed to death from the inside out. There is no cure, and the epidemic is spreading fast.
VICE News is on it, to arm us… with information. Being informed and aware are critical at this stage. VICE News went to Liberia, where many feel the outbreak began. Western scientists feel that the preparation and consumption of meat from monkeys, fruit bats, and other forest animals – collectively referred to as bush meat – is behind the disease transmission. If left uncontrolled, Ebola, Ebola—a or a similar disease could kill a third of the world’s population.

R&B Rewind: Horace Brown – ‘Things We Do For Love’
June 29, 2014
When Wu-Tang’s slick lyricist Raekwon dropped his ill ‘Stop Trippin’ freestyle over R&B singer Horace Brown’s album track ‘Trippin’ that we posted yesterday, it made me feel like going back & listening to a few other hot singles the Charlotte, North Carolina singer dropped back in the 90s. The 90’s was a great period for black music in general & Horace Brown had some dope ass gems with ‘Things We Do For Love’, “Taste Your Love”, & of course the very popular ‘One For The Money’. If you lived through that period in the 90s like I did I want you watch these joints to reminisce with me. If you’re just a little too young to know any better all you have to do is just pay attention & know that I’m putting you onto something dope. Check out the rest below….
