Roc Marciano – “Slingers” feat. Knowledge The Pirate (Video)
Slick lyrical emcee & producer Roc Marciano’s banger ‘Slingers’ is one of my favorite songs from his project ‘The Pimpire Strikes Back’. I was surprised to see there was a new video to this joint after I noticed a few tweets via Unkut & writer Byron Crawford. Like the song itself, the video was also co-directed by Roc Marciano & his collaborators R.M.L. & J. Grove. The video fit the mental picture of what I felt the song would actually look like. If you haven’t peeped his latest projects “The Pimpire Strikes Back” & “Marci Beaucoup” they are currently available on his site manbitesdogrecords.com with vinyl to become available February 18th.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Super Bowl Trailer)
Marvel’s first Avenger returns this April 4th in ‘Captain America: The Winter Solder’. Chris Evans continues the lead role as Captain America, while actor Anthony Mackie makes his Marvel debut as ‘The Falcon’. A few notables from the Avengers movie also bleed into this film as Samuel L. Jackson is featured as well as the beautiful Scarlett Johansson who reprises her role as Natasha Romanoff aka The Black Widow. The new film picks up in Washington D.C. following the cataclysmic events that played out in New York during The Avengers movie with Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, trying to adjust to the modern world. Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of their new ally, ‘the Falcon’ to battle against an unexpected and formidable enemy-the Winter Soldier. This looks like it’s going to be good.

VICE: Life As A Truck-Stop Stripper (Documentary)
VICE content from correspondents Natalia Leite and Alexandra Roxo. Their roadshow gone Gonzo – called Every Woman – has them traveling, living and working in different women’s jobs and documenting the experience. Makes for interesting viewing, especially this episode which details their time as strippers at a truck-stop.
Everyone knows what charming places strip clubs can be, but perhaps there is no club so charming as one in Moriarty, New Mexico—a truck stop with taxidermy and the bras of former employees on the walls, a few poles, a shitload of black light, and plenty of titties. Never mind that The Ultimate Strip Club List website describes it as the place “where strippers go to die.â€
Yeah… another score for VICE! Start with Part 1 above, and finish with the ladies (Parts 2 and 3) after the jump.

Snoop Dogg was up for another Grammy (as Snoop Lion this year), but this CBS morning show expo shows him in a different light that’s so gangsta in a good way. Nearly 20 years of married life, loving and coaching the kids, no longer toting a gat, and visiting the White House on top of all that. Watch the above vid for that and more. It’ll make you proud of the Dogg Father. On some grown man ish.
Pharoahe Monch – “Bad MF”
Pharoahe Monch is a bad mutha-shut-yo-mouf … Haa! On the way he’s got his fourth LP, “PTSD†(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). For it, Pharoahe is taking on the persona of an emcee battling through severe anxiety… an independent artist weary from battling the industry machine and from fighting the plight of being a black man in America. Boasting guest appearances from artists like Black Thought and Talib Kweli, and production from the likes of Marco Polo and Quelle Chris, “PTSD†should be a must get on most Hip-Hop heads’ lists. Here’s a sample from the plate – “Bad MF.”
Cesar Chávez: An American Hero (Movie Trailer)
“You can’t humiliate someone who has pride.”
A soldier-general at the head of another history’s battles for human rights and dignity, Cesar Chavez has a movie coming about life and life accomplishments this March. Should be a must see.
Directed by Diego Luna, Chávez chronicles the birth of a modern American movement led by famed civil rights leader and labor organizer, Cesar Chávez. Torn between his duties as a husband and father and his commitment to bringing dignity and justice to others, Chávez embraced non-violence as he battled greed and prejudice in his struggle for the rights of farm workers. His triumphant journey is a remarkable testament to the power of one individual’s ability to change the system.
