In the wake of Tupac birthday commemorations across the world of Hip-Hop, J. Period remixes a ‘Pac classic, “Dear Mama.” Take a listen. And if the music sounds familiar to you, good ear! Nas used it on “The Message†from 1996’s “It Was Written.”

J. Cole – “Lights Please” (Video)
June 23, 2014
Some things never get ‘old’ – like a Cole world vid. Check out visuals for “Lights Please†(originally appearing on the 2009 mixtape “The Warm Up”) in this MTV Rapfix debut.
“…laid it down proper like she was recording tracks: “I know you want to change the world, but for the night please, just reach over and hit the lights please.”
– J. Cole
The Judge (Trailer)
June 23, 2014
Woooo! “The Judge” going to be a SMASH for all kinds of awards and acclaim! I hope moviegoers can take a movie, with lots of heart, that shows Robert Downey Jr. acting without an Iron Man suit on.
[Big city attorney] Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) returns to his childhood home where his estranged father, the town’s judge (Robert Duvall), is suspected of murder. He sets out to discover the truth and along the way reconnects with the family he walked away from years before.
Just look at the cast rundown at the end of the trailer. The story of dad’s-in-trouble-but-he-don’t-want-your-DAMN-help-but-you-gotta-help should be enough. But I know that that cast WILL deliver the goods in dramatic fashion. We get this would-be masterpiece in theaters October 2014.

Pharrell – “Frontin’” feat. Jay Z (Disclosure Remix)
June 22, 2014
This beat’s build-up kinda makes you wait for it… Then Disclosure lets enough of the original drip into the drop for the beginning to set it off right. No “Frontin'” this is a nice dance remix to the Pharrell and Jigga classic collab.

Fabolous – “Playa” (Video)
June 20, 2014
“See everybody ain’t ballin’. Most is fallen…”
– Loso
Man, it feels like B.I.G. stamped this. Troubled boss-balling vibe on this Fabolous video release “Playa” (produced by Sonaro). The push continues to get “The S.O.U.L. Tape 3” into many, many more eyeballs and eardrums. This Loso vid is laced with cameos. Watch for them! And hopefully you have this FREE download we posted here (share it with your people).
(The framing of the fall of a “Playa” by a lyrical retelling of Biggie’s last moments in there at the end…deep.)

Common – “Kingdom†featuring Vince Staples (Prod. By No ID) [Video]
June 20, 2014
Common’s single “Kingdom†(featuring Vince Staples) is quality music. So, how much better can it get than to follow its release with a strong visual … movie-level … with the full treatment directed by Hype Williams?! Not important now. It’s already done. Well done! Check it out above.

‘Change The Mascot Movement’ Scores A Major Win: U.S. Patent Office Cancels Washington’s NFL Team Trademarks (Video)
June 20, 2014
Aha! So we’re seeing some real movement on the ‘Change The Mascot’ movement since we posted about it here.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled six trademarks belonging to the football team on Wednesday, saying they are offensive to Native Americans…If the decision is upheld, it will be hard for the team to claim ownership of its brand, a crucial step in going after the makers of unlicensed merchandise…The decision came in response to a suit brought by five Native Americans.
It’s been time Washington; and the U.S. Patent Office obviously agrees. Change The Mascot. JayForce suggested ‘Washington Warriors’ as an alternative. See? Still bad ass, yet not offensive.

Vinyl Destination | Ep. 12 ‘The Silent Disco’ On Season 2 With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
June 20, 2014
Episode 12… something familiar about it… Oh! On this ep Jeff and the crew jump the big pond from LA to the UK to do a surprise show on the Graham Norton Show. London with DJ Jazzy Jeff putting the perfect spin on a performance by… longtime partner Will Smith! We posted the surprise treat they gave the crowd there here.
There is much more – LA to London to Vegas in record time. And they their way to Tennessee. Some true southern fried chicken plates?
And now Dayne Jordan is embedded with the crew? Cool, cool.
And … WTF … a ‘Silent Disco’? %Party I’m in! Where are my headphones? That looked like mad fun! So much wildin’ and little time for rest. But enough of my jibba-jabba, ride out to Vinyl Destination above!

June 19, 2014
Kevin Hart stops by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon…no doubt to promote “Think Like A Man Too” while the show is shooting at Universal Studios Florida. Some of the world’s biggest and baddest roller coasters are right there. So… Jimmy wants to ride one. Kevin does NOT (but he is going to). PLEASE watch this to the end for a genuine reaction.

Madlib – “Black Dreams” (Sludge Fight)
June 19, 2014
This “Black Dreams” (Sludge Fight) is a dope beat begging for dope lyrics. A head-nodder to be certain. Likely a clear indication of what Madlib has in store on his “Rock Konducta” project dropping July 15, 2014.
