DJ LV, inspired by Pharrell, is ‘Happy’ to be a ‘Daddy’ (Video)
March 27, 2014
Atlanta by way of Oakland turntable master, DJ LV, got inspired by Pharrell’s popular hit ‘Happy’ & flipped it into a song & video to speak on how overjoyed the man is in being a father. I already know there are many good dads out there even amongst my immediate circle, but far too often society doesn’t celebrate these guys enough. I guess this is DJ LV’s way of doing that for what Chris Rock would describe as the ‘Father’s Day, Big Chicken eating, unsung heroes’ who love & do right by their kids.

DJ Rahdu – “Honey Molasses: Jill Scott Remixes and Covers” (Mixtape)
March 27, 2014
A nice bunch of covers and conversions of Jill Scott jawns, curated and compiled by the soul selector DJ Rahdu. This “Honey Molasses” is ‘soundtrack of Spring’ indeed!
Jill Scott made a comment during her performance on VH1’s Storytellers about her music selection process that stuck with me – She said that even without her, the music has to have a story of it’s own for her to write to it. Apparently she picks them well; Jill has the uncanny ability to connect to numerous demographics, an uncommon skill in today’s stratified musical climate. “Honey Molasses” is a compilation of the artists that feel that Jill’s songs could somehow help tell their story.

Nardwuar Catches Up To Ludacris At SXSW (Video)
March 27, 2014
Yeah, Ludacris starts in with the jokes on Nardwuar at SXSW… playing it too cool for school… until Nard starts in with the memorabilia. Catches Luda off guard with some items and factoids; then he gets into the conversation a bit. Local ATL eateries and legendary spots, Atlanta Hip-Hop history, and Luda history – taking 2 Chainz to the bank, beginnings with manager Shaka Zulu, the homie 4-IZE (damn right he’s still doing it… check out that “Ultra Beast United” with 6 Rings we posted).
But… did he mess with the “doot doola doot doo…” moment??? Hold up now, Luda!
Michael Jordan’s Former ‘Dream Home’ Still Spruced Up For Sale (Video)
March 26, 2014
Michael Jordan is considered to be the greatest NBA player of all-time, but he also has the dubious reputation for not having the best sense of style. There are a dozens of news pieces, websites, facebook, instagram, & twitter pages with names like… “What The F*k is Michael Jordan Wearing.com?” poking fun at his fashion choices. Even GQ magazine took shots at his style & taste after he was kicked out of a country club for his allegedly horrible choice of golf gear. Some of the clothes he’s worn out in public have been so unintentionally ridiculous that I wouldn’t be surprised if his former Chicago dream home wasn’t any different. Michael Jordan has been desperately trying to sell this luxury home for years and had lowered his price in 2012 from $29 Million only to subsequently fail getting it sold at auction for a minimum of $16 million last December. If the interior of the home was anything like his personal fashion sense PRIOR to putting this home on the market & hiring some professional interior decorators, that could have been a huge reason why he hadn’t found a new owner sooner coupled with that still hefty asking price.

!llmind – “Narcotic Nautilus”
March 26, 2014
One of my favorite producers in recent years & the creator of the ‘Boom Trap’ sound, !llmind, drops a dope ass instrumental gem that samples the Bob James jazz classic ‘Nautilus’. Check the track & peep what the ‘ill’ producer had to say about this beat below…..
“This was one of the 1st “BoomTrap” beats I’ve ever made (created almost 3 years ago).
Since then, it’s gone through many transitions, different song ideas with a handful of different artists. The only other person who has this beat is my homie Just Blaze. You may or may not remember him playing this beat for Blackthought to freestyle over, on the Combat Jack Show last year.
I wanted to finally put this beat out, in its rawest form, for the masses to hear.
Why? Because, f*ck it.
Let’s keep this in the streets of NYC.” – !llmind

March 26, 2014
Professor X (Patrick Stewart) gets to meet young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) in this one. That’d be enough, right? But the trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past is LOADED with story and character to spare… Wolverine traveling back in time, sort of introducing the modern era X-Men to the sequel’s (1960s-era set of X-Men: First Class) people. Young Mystique, young Magneto, seasoned Magneto … and Storm (yeah, Halle is on board). Director Bryan Singer is bringing it – May 23, 2014.

The L.O.X. – “New York City” (Video)
March 25, 2014
Jadakiss, Styles P, & Sheek Louch’s new ode to the big apple is one of my personal favorite joints right now. The DJ Uneek produced joint now has a brand new video featuring the Yonkers hood heroes with clips of ‘New York City’ figures, events, & landmarks interpolated with beautiful shapely women to match the hard beats & dope lyrics. The L.O.X. continue to avoid that mainstream watered down rap & provides the real dudes like us that type of hip hop we tend to gravitate too. DEEEEEE-BLOCK!!!!!

Mike Vick’s First Interview as Quarterback for The New York Jets (Video)
March 25, 2014
I’m kinda sad to see Mike Vick no longer playing for my hometown Philadelphia Eagles, but I’m excited he’s still being given the opportunity to play in the NFL for head coach Rex Ryan & the New York Jets. I’m not a fan of the NY Jets, but I’m definitely a fan of Mike Vick & Rex Ryan. I believe they’ll make a good combination up there in New York City & I hope they do well this upcoming season except, if and when, they play my Oakland Raiders. Check out this new video from Mike Vick’s first interview as a NY Jet above. The reporter asks the standard run of the mill questions, but he missed a key opportunity to ask what number does Mike expect to wear this season considering both he & Geno Smith both like the number “7”. I’m sure there won’t be any beefs between Geno & Mike based on their mutual interests in helping to push each other, but just who will get that number “7” should be interesting.
