Vinyl Destination | Ep. 11 ‘Give The Drummer Some’ On Season 2 With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
June 6, 2014
In this episode of Vinyl Destination, DJ Jazzy Jeff and his crew ‘have a Cali week’ in Los Angeles. Jeff links up with drummer Travis Barker to talk about the possibility of doing a show. They chat about gear and do a DJ/Drummer jam session. Got into a lot for what was to be a laid back time. Eventually got over to the grocery store to shop to make a ‘Magnificent Meal’ – and leave a full fridge (like Jeff says a good house guest should) – while staying at the home of comedian buddy Russell Peters (see him in this prior episode here)) while in town. A show in San Diego, then flying out to UK for a day, then back stateside for another show in Vegas the day after… whew! A chill week, then back on the grind like a mutha—-!
Nice soundtracking in the back[ground] in this episode (contributions from Dayne Jordan).

Nas Speaks On ‘Illmatic XX,’ On Professional And Personal Growth And More With Charlie Rose (Video)
June 5, 2014
Popular pundit and PBS mainstay Charlie Rose invites Nas to his plain table for a no frills discussion, patent format for the show. Really revealing talk. Among other things (highlighted in the clip above), Nas shares that he has changed as a man… more calm and accepting as a person of others. Now truly a proud American, but having no desire to be ‘accepted.’ He wants to find his place in his American family, to ‘work his soil’ and make his way in this world that he more completely understands. Twenty plus years into his career, father of two children… this is real man talk here. Watch the clip.
‘What Would YOU Do’ If You Witnessed Racial Profiling In A High End Retail Store? (Video)
June 5, 2014
Yes! This “What Would You Do?†episode is not as much a test of racial profiling store owners and staff…we know they are out there. This is a test of bystanders’ willingness to call them on their bullsh!t.
When you see injustice… people have to step up!
– Patron at the High End Store…who stepped up
Weighing in on this episode (and going undercover as a customer being harassed for ‘shopping while Black’), Daymon John (Founder Of FUBU clothing, ‘shark’ on ABC TV’s “Shark Tank”). Great clip!

VICE: How To Hack A Car (Video)
June 5, 2014
Really? The damn cars are under attack? Wow. We’re not talking ‘Transformers’ here. Vehicles (probably like yours) are vulnerable to cyber attack…now! VICE brings us the story (via Motherboard).
In this episode of Phreaked Out…Information security researcher Mathew Solnik gave us a first-hand demonstration on how to wirelessly send commands to a car and remotely tell it what to do. With a little over a grand and about a month of work, Solnik found time outside of his full-time job to reverse-engineer a car’s computer system to make it ready for a takeover.

Education: Jim Carrey Delivers an Enlightening Commencement Address at the 2014 MUM Graduation (Video)
June 5, 2014
“Fear is going to be a player in life, but you get to decide how much. So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for it.”
– Jim Carrey
Hilarious… easily slipping into profound… in his Maharishi University of Management (http://www.mum.edu) graduation speech to 285 students representing 54 countries. Initially found a writeup and clip on it at Today.com. Jim Carrey gave his commencement address to Maharishi University of Management’s class of 2014. The University Board of Trustees also presented Carrey with the honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts Honoris Causa, in recognition of his significant lifetime achievements as a world-renowned comedian and actor, artist, author and philanthropist.
Watch the full video (the above quote comes in at the 10-minute mark). I’m betting you will be impressed and entertained by Carrey’s talk. I was. LOTS of gems of wisdom dropped in this!

Koch Brothers Exposed (Documentary)
June 5, 2014
David and Charles Koch (pronounced like ‘Coke’), the oil industry’s billionaire brothers that pretty much powered the Tea Party Movement and the recent emergence of the Republican Party’s ‘return to true Conservatism.’ You’d think that most Republicans would position themselves in the ‘it is what it is’ or say ‘I approve this message’ camps. Most do. But viewer-supported news network says “Koch Brothers Exposed” is “The Chilling New Documentary Republicans Don’t Want You to See.” So [per Democracy Now], at least some Republicans would prefer to not be linked to the Kochs. And those would certainly not want a film evidencing the Kochs’ influence (and naming politicians who are being ‘influenced’) to come out. Congressperson Candice Miller (Republican Representative from Michigan) tried to block an unveiling event for the documentary at the U.S. Capitol, claiming it could violate House rules (being debuted at taxpayer-funded facilities) and “cross the line into partisan politics.”
The documentary shows how the Koch brothers have used their vast fortunes to oppose government programs such as Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, as well as obstruct efforts to raise the minimum wage, tackle climate change and expand voting rights. Democracy Now talks to the film’s director, Robert Greenwald, founder and president of Brave New Films, in its writeup (linked below). The full original release is embedded above.
Deep. Check it out. And considering that the film, and Democracy Now, are fighting the rich and powerful to bring real issues and news to light… maybe consider donating to the cause and/or getting some friends together to watch, discuss, and empower yourselves.

Chicago: Landmark Overlook Glass Ledge Suddenly Cracks, Startling Tourists (Video)
June 4, 2014
Friends of mine who’ve been to Chicago (Illinois, USA) say going out onto the glass ledge on Willis Tower’s Observation Deck – and looking out and down on the cityscape – is a ‘must do’ item for your bucket list. Well, I am going to leave that to them; especially after hearing about the ledge’s cracking as tourists were on it.
Cracked? Oh… heyull naaawww! But wait, wait. Architectural engineer Michael Swanberg said
“Because you can see through it, obviously there’s the psychological effect that ‘oh my gosh, something broke.’ But nobody was ever in danger.â€
See (above), nothing to worry about. They even replaced that glass that cracked. So, y’all can feel safe going back out onto the ledge when you go to Chi-town. Cool.
Oh…Me? When am I going? How ’bout NEVERary the 32nd? Ha! I wasn’t ever going to step out there in the first place; even when the ledge was “totally safe.” But you tell me how fun it was, okay?

Eye Candy: Celia K (Video)
June 4, 2014
Bwaaahahaa! Sometimes I over think… For a good while while I was digging for a vid on @IHeartCeliaK I was thinking, “Is her name a play on words (e.g. alternate spelling for Celiac)? Does this model really love bread, or people who love it, but can’t have it? Like Celiac’s disease; whose sufferers cannot eat bread? Is she a performing artist trying on a double entendre name for size (e.g. like loving money, or ‘bread,’ but not being able to have it yet)?”
Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and laugh. Get it out. Now… enjoy another pleasant sensation as you lustfully gaze at Atlanta honey Celia K just being sexy (and flexible) above.

Producer D.R.U.G.S. Speaks On Digging In The Crates, His History And Process And More (Video)
June 4, 2014
OHHHHHHHH! How did this sneak by me? Older video to be sure, but THIS… this is so worth the ‘late pass’ – especially with the action we’re getting from the “Childhood Gold” he produced for 6 Rings Music. In this 3-parter, the beat beast D.R.U.G.S. said his MOM ‘taught’ him how to crate dig (having a deep record collection, recognizing Hip-Hop samples and playing source music) from the start. And listen in Part 3 at 9:14… Wooooo! VERY FAMILIAR!!! Like last Saturday’s Beatz & Lyrics show familiar. ‘Where My D.R.U.G.S. At?’ Above. Great video through and through. Check out Part 1 (Parts 2 and 3 after the jump). Shout to 6 Rings Music. Respect to D.R.U.G.S.!

Kendrick Lamar’s Home Sweet Home
June 4, 2014
Hey. Let’s go over Ken‘and’nem house for a minute. You know…Ken…Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, you can roll. But respect the man’s home though. It’s nice.
And by nice. I mean nice…and at a reasonable price. Imagine that: Rap putting the pause on rhymes about opulence and dreams of such. To most of us, “making it” is a nice home with a manageable mortgage we can eventually pay off. And we expect rappers to buy their moms houses, then ball out of control in a mansion (rented or, preferably, mortgaged). So, I was more than pleasantly surprised to see Hip-Hop’s Black Hippie really show some sense when dropping dollars and cents on a crib.
If only MTV ‘Cribs’ was around to show this house off. Situated on a 7800-square foot lot an hour east of Los Angeles (California, USA). Just a bit over a half million bucks to get. Flexing, but not too much.
Salute, Kendric Lamar. Real Hip-Hop. Real responsible with the cash while it’s flowing.
