Shots Fired: Rush Limbaugh Disses #BringBackOurGirls And Jon Stewart Slams Him For It (Video)
May 16, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, pressured into action by ‘hashtag activism’ on Twitter recently, now has help from several nations to save more than 200 schoolgirls held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists. #BringBackOurGirls our girls has been trending worldwide, bringing and maintaining attention on the issue. Good, right? I mean, the terrorists are the bad guys; but you MUST be a genuine azzjack of a bad guy to hate on the movement, right?
Enter Rush Limbaugh, azzjack. On his radio show, the conservative host ripped the effort, even calling a photo of First Lady Michelle Obama with a #BringBackOurGirls sign “pathetic.”
Oh…my…damn! Did Limbaugh just slam a humanitarian movement AND diss our beloved First Lady? Sure did. But don’t worry. Jon Stewart got him; as you’ll see in the Comedy Central ‘Daily Show’ clip above. In fact, by the show’s end, Stewart had set off a Twitter trend of his own – a message for Limbaugh: #F*@KYOURUSH.
(Even more important, Jon had some heartfelt words for the real G’s caught up in this horror story; the captive Nigerian girls who knowingly risked life and everything daily to get educated and empowered.)

The Clipse Featured On CNN (Video)
May 16, 2014
CNN anchor Bill Weir interviewed Pusha T & his brother, formerly known as “Malice” about their time coming up in the game from selling drugs to recording rap music. Arguably the most famous rap duo to come out of Virginia, the interview delves deeper into the lives of the Thornton Brothers as they discuss their middle-class upbringing, almost stardom with the help of fellow V.A. native Pharrell & Kanye West, & “No Malice’s” decision to leave the group in search of new & alternative career path. Very good piece here by Bill Weir & his approach was rather disarming to allow them to open up as much as possible for the segment.
CNN: Anderson Cooper Interviews Donald Sterling (Full Video)
May 16, 2014
Anderson Cooper interviews [embattled exposed racist ranter and former L.A. Clippers owner] Donald Sterling for AC360 on CNN. This is the full interview (commercials included), with Sterling pretty much given free reign for a full hour. That is to say, in this no-subject-off-limits talk, Sterling has every opportunity to exonerate himself in the court of public opinion. Do you think he cleared himself or dug a deeper grave? Watch and decide for yourself.
(Stick around for the whole segment. Real reality TV with some unthinkable twists!)

Cam’ron x A-Trak – “Dipsh*ts” (Video)
May 15, 2014
If you’re like me then you’ve been kinda miss that Dipset sound & movement as of late, but this new video & single from Killa Cam & A-Trak’s upcoming collabo project, The Federal Reserve EP,Ă‚Â makes it feel like the Dips’ triumphant return. Even Dame Dash reintroduces himself as ‘Champagne Dame’ on the track & video letting everyone know the squad is back. This clip directed by Ricky Saiz has all the elements that define what a dope Dipset song & video should be all about. All the of the principal Dipset members appear united, the Harlem people in the neighborhoods, the Just Blaze co-production, the fashion-conscious yet gritty connection to the streets, & even the big booty chicks like Cam’s girl JuJu who makes a cameo. It’s not too Complex, but it’s a start. Hopefully we’ll get another Dipset Anthem for 2014. Check out the trailer for Cam’ron & A-Trak’s upcoming film ‘2 The Hard Way (Pause)’ after the jump….

Smart Technology: A Solar-Powered ‘Liter Of Light’ (Video)
May 15, 2014
“It is possible to do this without being an electronic engineer.”
Two things the less fortunate among us can appreciate, master and share… to make a lot from a little AND to make treasure out of what we’d call trash. Magnifying a bit of solar light bright enough to light a room at night… a little to a liter… using a plastic bottle otherwise destined for a landfill.
The low-tech technology that enables this is refined constantly. Practitioners build some, use them, improve the design, and build better ones. See a how-to video of one of the latest versions for a basic ‘Liter of Light’ after the jump. Awesome stuff!

Eminem Debuts New Video for “Headlights” featuring Nate Ruess and Directed By Spike Lee (Video)
May 14, 2014
What with all the very well documented animosity Eminem held for his mom – expressed in song via cuts put out over the years – if ever he was to ‘reconcile’ on wax, it’d be major. Major enough to enlist filmmaker Spike Lee to do a video for it! Well, enough of the preamble and ramble. Here it is: “Headlights” featuring Nate Ruess (off “The Marshall Mathers LP 2”) from Marshall Mathers to his Mom.
