Above: L.I.U.N.S. DEN aka A.N.D.C. (All Nice and Decent Crew) took a trip to Waikiki, Hawaii. And when it was time to go, they couldn’t let it go.

Jon Stewart Calls Out Jay Z Over Maintaining Business Relations With Racist Retailer Barney’s (Video)
November 8, 2013
Over the controversy that some have called shop-and-frisk, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart points out and pokes at Jigga for selling out by standing by a major business partner of his – Barney’s. The high-end retailer has come under fire by the media and protest groups for apparently subjecting its Black patrons to racial profiling that went so far as to send undercover security into the street – holding up Black purchasers outside the store to verify that their debit cards were “authentic.” Jay Z has a merchandise line set to come out in the store chain… no way he’s going to let a little bad racial press stop him from cashing in on purchases made by Black folk who may get stopped after buying his stuff. Time for a little “perspective”…
“If I make snap judgements, no matter who it’s towards, aren’t I committing the same sin as who it’s towards.”
– Jay Z
Well, how about that. I guess you can talk yourself into anything when enough money is on the line. Get him, Jon!

DJ Mathematics – “Shorty + Four Horsemen” (Video)
November 7, 2013
You know how the Wu will drop a two-in-one video, right? This is that… the DJ Mathematics way. The first half – “Shorty” featuring Cappadonna and Masta Killa (of Wu-Tang Clan) set it off with dope music and tight visuals… and even tighter eye candy… but it doesn’t eat sweet. Then we close the double-up video with the “Four Horsemen” featuring Inspektah Deck and Method Man. A great effort directed by Rock Davis, for Itchy House Films!

Puerto Rock Steady 2013 (Video)
November 6, 2013
Foundational Hip-Hoppers The Rock Steady Crew take the party to Puerto Rico in the best way. Widely known fact that influences in Hip-Hop arts and culture from PR. It’s only right that the Crew travel down to one of the seminal sources of b-boying and more. First Annual Puerto Rock Steady was a smash. Check out what Crazy Legs had to say about the event…
“The event took place in Isabela, Puerto rico. The dream is to make this an international music and dance festival to serve as an alternative to other events that may be great, but are missing the soul that exist in many genre’s of music. The vibes, music, people and scenery at Puerto Rock steady were nothing less then AMAZING! Picturesque from morning to sun set. Puerto Rock Steady is only in it’s infancy and and we expect to grow very fast. The resort that it was held on was sold out with out any promotion outside of Twitter and Facebook. The word of mouth after event is already putting us ahead of schedule for 2014 with bookings.”
Watch out 2014. Here it comes! Check out the recap clip above to experience a bit of the fun that was had.

The Difference Between The Haves And The Have-Nots? Cal-Berkley Study Says… Morality (Video)
November 6, 2013
See? This is why money cannot buy happiness… because those who have money never feel they have enough OF ANYTHING. Astonishing clip above. PBS coverage of a research study that concludes that folks in high-end vehicles are in such a rush they’d nearly run a guy down in a crosswalk (when those worse off probably have more motivation to ‘not be late’ to wherever they are going)… that given opportunity, well-to-do study participants (more often than poorer participants) would take candy from kids… lie about test results reported via ‘honor system’… I mean, wow.
In a series of startling studies, psychologists at the University of California at Berkeley have found that “upper-class individuals behave more unethically than lower-class individuals.” Ongoing research is trying to find out what it is about wealth — or lack of it — that makes people behave they way they do.
