The Electric Superbike Of The Future (Video)
October 25, 2013
Conventional combustion engine motorcycles vs. Mission Motorcycle’s electric superbike. Way less mechanical noise with much the same speed, Mission’s RS model (above) is a limited-edition, top-end bike.
The RS’s electric motor produces a huge-but-not-unheard-of 160 horsepower; the 130 foot-pounds of torque puts it at least in the superbike world. Even then, the bike’s lack of a transmission means going from zero to 60, which takes less than three seconds, requires nary a shift. Hitting its limited top speed of 150 miles an hour requires little more than twisting the throttle and holding on.

For $58,999, you get the best suspension, carbon wheels, and perhaps the most advanced gauge, navigation, and telemetry system available on a bike. It’s worth the money, if you have it. Today’s concept is almost as good as current gas-powered peers… almost…

Dwyane Wade – Journey To 3 (Documentary)
October 23, 2013
“The journey is to 3… Three symbolizes to me a lot of what I believe in – The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost… I needed to lean on my faith…”
Suffice it to say the game is more than basketball to champions. It’s life – mind, body & soul. But to watch this D. Wade documentary – Journey To 3 – you get a real chance to see the man being real. Miami Heat basketball is definitely the context, but watch for what you learn about the athlete taking care of himself, the man persevering through adversity, and the father being with and for his family. A lot expertly squeezed into half a half-hour.
ICYMI: @DwyaneWade released his new “Journey to 3” documentary yesterday! http://t.co/O4hVLSFqRJ Check it out! #DWadeJT3

Phene – “Square One” (Prod. By Marc Johnson)
October 23, 2013
Marc Johnson laid this “Square One” beat down for a rhyme animal, and Phene must’ve picked up the scent. Lacings accented by that ‘old school players to new school rules’ (from OutKast’s “Skew It on the Bar-B”) make the track hot. Phene is working on the “Relation 717” project currently; but for now, enjoy streaming this joint… and get it for FREE now!

Ne-Yo – “Luxurious” feat. Future (Prod. By Jesse ‘Corporal’ Wilson)
October 23, 2013
This joint stops just short of R&B. It’s good. Just listen to it with that ear, okay? “Luxurious” (produced by Jesse ‘Corporal’ Wilson) pairs an industry vet and a relative rookie by comparison – Ne-Yo and Future – both guaranteed hit makers. Smooth with the roughness. Definitely sexy content, but more lovey without too much dovey. Check it out.

VH1: CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story (Biopic) [Video]
October 23, 2013
The movie heard about ’round the Internetz… aka CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story was on VH1 a couple nights ago. VH1’s biopic starred Keke Palmer, Drew Sidora, and Lil’ Mama depicted the R&B trio’s (e.g. Chili, T-Boz, and Left Eye) real life which traces their highs and lows in the music industry (and in their lives as a result). Some incredible insights and ‘wow’ in the movie to be certain – especially singer-turned-exec Pebbles portrayed as the ultimate ‘Industry Rule Number 4,080’ type, being real shady with regard to TLC’s early career. As far as validity: CrazySexyCool had the help and blessing of two surviving members of TLC (R.I.P. Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes) who appear at the end of the film, performing their new single “Meant To Be”). Most social network posts the night the movie’s premiere were pretty good. Watch it (again, perhaps) above.
To peep some interviews that shed light on aspects of the TLC Story (which shed some light), see the clips after the jump.

Boogieman Dela – “No More Good” (Video)
October 22, 2013
“For the first time she went against the good advice I gave her. Who knew that would be a decision that she would pay for.”
Dope concept, song, and video from Boogieman Dela. I remember recently seeing yet another Facebook post on some ‘can men and women be just friends’ sh!t. But this vid brings out another vantage point to the ‘heyull naw’ stance I ultimately always take. Dela tried to tell her – his true friend from start to end – the ‘what not to do’ … and ultimately it didn’t work because she would not listen… suffering as a result of her bad choices, getting in bad situations, ending up with the ‘bad’ dude… and staying with his azz. Damn. To his credit, Dela stayed true throughout though. Great story told in audio-visual. Respect, Boogieman Dela. Respect!
Message: Don’t lay hands on her like that fellas. Better to just leave her. She just might have a Boogieman in her corner. And now for more on the artist (yeah, I do my ‘Net research, y’all)…
Boogieman Dela has been spittin’ official on his own since 2010 when he dropped his “Reality Rap.†However, he has always had a love for music, especially Hip-Hop/R&B as his mother was a musician. Like many with family roots in music, Dela’s family was a bit more religious than his chosen way of musical expression would tolerate. Good thing the Philly emcee stuck to it though. Dropping â€The Dirty Rehearsals†with Ace Mcclowd in 2011… going to work on a sequel (“Dirty Harmonyâ€) shortly thereafter. The above video for “No More Good” should be seen as another dope step on the way up in the rap game. Watch for the Boogieman. Always good advice you’ve known since you were a kid. Follow it, and follow him on Twitter @BoogiemanDela.

Ohio State Marching Band – Michael Jackson Tribute (Video)
October 22, 2013
You need to watch the Ohio State Buckeye’s Marching Band’s Michael Jackson Tribute. The music was on par for a Division 1 school’s marching band, but the choreography sent this performance over the top. Guaranteed you’ll be done when they form the MJ silhouette… and make it moonwalk! Wowww!
Watch the whole thing though. The “Man In The Mirror” performance featuring the Louisiana State University gospel choir is touching.
