R&B/Soul: Chrisette Michele – “Love In The Afternoon” featuring Nello Luchi (Produced By Musiq) [Video]
May 14, 2014
Two things we know you’ll love about this “Love In The Afternoon” video: Chrisette and more Chrisette. The Konee Rok-directed visuals have her going through some MJ-Black-Or-White type changes, getting more and more sexy and the eyes getting more ‘bedroomy’ as the song progresses. Like she sings, ‘Let her have her way’ with you in the afternoon. You won’t be disappointed. Oh yeah, Musiq is good with the track, and the flows by Nello Luchi…nice. But watch for nothing but hot Chrisette Michele; because that’s what you’ll get. The single is off the “Aubrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation” mixtape Michele has out for the FREE.99 (linked below).

Bill Nye Battles CNN Crossfire Host On Climate Change (Video)
May 14, 2014
Okay. In truth, renown scientist Bill Nye (aka “Bill Nye The Science Guy”) was invited to hold down the “for” side in a discussion about whether climate change (e.g. ‘global warming’) is a problem… that man caused. Not really a battle; UNLESS you consider a grown man square his shoulders and spit fiery truth in the direction of an opponent in a war of words.
“I will look anyone in the eyes and remind them that climate change is the most serious problem facing human kind…This is serious business.”
– Bill Nye
On second thought, the show is called ‘Crossfire’… It’s a battle. And Bill is schooling ’em! Watch.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Show Up To Miami Heat Game Despite Solange’s Recent Attack On Mr. Sean Carter (Video)
May 13, 2014
Despite all of the chaos surrounded by the elevator surveillance footage (see after the jump) released yesterday of what appears to be Beyonce’s sister, Solange physically attacking her brother-in-law, Jay Z after the Met Gala at the Standard Hotel in New York City, the power couple are all smiles courtside at the Miami Heat vs. Brooklyn Nets game last night.
The question that everyone has been asking is, “What happened for Solange to go off on Jay Z?â€
Since Jay Z and Beyonce are so private, who knows if we’ll ever find out the reason it all occurred.

Bill Maher: “Donald Sterling Isn’t Worth Defending, But The 4th Amendment Is.” (Video)
May 12, 2014
Bill Maher is right, to an extent, about protection of the 4th Amendment in his recent commentary regarding former NBA owner Donald Sterling’s case, but the point is everyone is still accountable for what they say. It doesn’t matter what was said in private because in America you can be convicted of crimes & incarcerated for things that were said in private. Even television news investigations secretly record & release evidence of people saying things that were meant to be in private. I agree with most of what Bill Maher is saying in his commentary but you can’t even get a job for saying outrageous things that some people would disagree with. So it’s best to keep things 100 all the time about how you feel. It’s America & you do have a right to say what you feel even in private, but in Donald Sterling’s case the NBA is a business & once those private feelings were out in the open no black players would be willing to play for a NOW known racist.

Activism: Sad Truth…The Homeless Are Invisible, To All Of Us. This Proves It! (Video)
May 12, 2014
In America, the homeless are invisible to us. That’s a problem; because we cannot (or will not) address a problem we do not acknowledge. Like most problems, we (Americans) believe that homeless will have to hit closer to home before we find the will to truly do something about it. Well, New York City Rescue Mission has conducted a social experiment that showed me… that will show YOU… that even if the problem hit home we would would walk right by it.
In this social experiment, unsuspecting people walked by relatives pretending to be homeless. Would they notice their family members? Or have the homeless become invisible? http://MakeThemVisible.com
Wow. Just wow. You SAY you wouldn’t leave fam on the streets… but you (and I) probably wouldn’t even know them if we encountered them in that situation. POWERFUL commentary. I was convicted by this video. I will admit it. I also admit that change will be hard, but necessary. First step: Stop laying all the blame on the 1% (e.g. the uber-wealthy in the U.S.) and check myself… (at least) looking people in their eyes when I walk by. And before I move on, like it’s someone else’s problem, know that that person could very well be one of MY loved ones out here!
Compelling mini-documentary. A must watch! And to find out more about the New York City Rescue Mission visit http://nycrescue.org/
