Nardwuar Interviews Trina a.k.a. ‘Da Baddest B!tch’ (Video)
October 4, 2013
Nardwuar always does great interviews, but I think I fell in love with Trina’s personality in this video right here. I can’t say I’ve always been a fan of Trina’s music, but Nardwuar’s interview made me really like her. Give this a good watch and see what you think.

Meet The “Prison Profiteers†Who Are Making Millions Off The Penal System (Video)
October 4, 2013
No need for big political talk to understand this story. Prisons are big business for lots of businesses. Global Tel* Link (GTL) makes more than $500 million a year exploiting families who pay up to $1.13 per minute to keep in touch with incarcerated loved ones. And GTL isn’t only one lining it’s pockets with prison money.
‘Global Tel* Link is one of five companies profiled in a new video series called “Prison Profiteers,†a collaboration between Beyond Bars — a Brave New Films project—the ACLU, and The Nation. With 2.3 million people incarcerated in the United States, prisons are big business; the goal of the series is to expose the myriad ways people enrich themselves off crime and punishment.’

The two emcees keep it simple in this black & white clip shot during the early morning hours of the city. Pusha T’s upcoming album ‘My Name Is My Name’ officially drops Tuesday October 8th.

Comedy/Politics: Jon Stewart Blasts GOP Over U.S. Government Shutdown on ‘The Daily Show’ (Video)
October 3, 2013
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart taking it there – to the heights of satire – addressing the government shutdown, and calling out the House Republicans for doing all they can to scuttle the Affordable Care Act, including forcing a government shutdown. “It’s a f**king law” that all three branches of government have thus far upheld. Then Stewart sacked the the Republicans, scrambling to down President Obama’s hallmark legislative achievement, with THE hardest hit:
“Did you see the Giants game on Sunday? They lost 31-7. Do you know what the Giants didn’t say after that game? ‘If you don’t give us 25 more points by midnight on Monday, we will shut down the f**king NFL.'”
– Jon Stewart
Zing!

A Clip Full Of Facts On Breasts: That’s A Good Look (Video)
October 2, 2013
The average bra size in the U.S. is 34DD! I mean… we need to change the way we look at breasts, everyone. A popular slogan of the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign is “Save The Ta-Ta’s” (hell, it’s the name of a friggin’ nonprofit). We approve that message. We even post on breast-related politics here! LOOK at the clip above. Change your point of view. Remember: From now on, you aren’t staring… you just looking at her breasts in a new way.

Raekwon – Marble Cake (Freestyle)
October 2, 2013
Raekwon eff’n up this Drake “Pound Cake” beat in the best way… with his freestyle version called “Marble Cake.” Loaded with that classic C.R.E.A.M. ‘cash rules’ talk (complete with a Wu-Tang Clan sample from the first album), the Chef cooked up a joint that could stand tall among the other “Pound Cake” remixes out now (posted a couple on here).
‘Realer sh!ts they with me… Dealerships they dig me!’ – Raekwon

Technology: The Icon A5 Collapsible Seaplane (Video)
October 2, 2013
The Icon A5 aircraft is a collapsible seaplane straight from a James Bond movie! Intuitive design (e.g. almost anyone could learn to fly it quickly), portable (no more trouble to transport than towing a speedboat with a hitch)… can run on regular fuel… Man! Now, if they could drop that sticker price a touch. Incredible tech (and ‘big boy’ toy) right here.

Former U.S. Labor Secretary On Creating A ‘Win-Win’ Economy: Change The Rules (Video)
October 2, 2013
Robert Reich, U.S. Secretary of Labor during President Bill Clinton’s administration, puts forth a simple premise in his documentary “Inequality for All” (see the trailer after the jump) – our economy should be capitalism checked by the rules of a SENSIBLE democratic society. The above was clipped from his appearance on Moyers & Company (great PBS television) recently. Reich and host Bill Moyers discussed how CRAZY things have gotten… the insanity of economic, political, and day-to-day reality in America… and straight talk on the most direct route out of the madness.

Comedy: Woman Quits Job Via A Video Of Her Dancing To Kanye West’s “Gone” (Video)
October 2, 2013
How far is too far with all this technology we have? Hey… whether or not this is too far, it’s too funny! Check out how this woman does the modern version of “Take This Job And Shove It” set to the music of Kanye West (“Gone”).
This looks like something a cast member on HBO’s ‘The Newsroom’ would do. Great commentary on valuing shallow views-over-news stances in today’s information media. BUT… if this is really real… it was risky. And it probably helped that this lady works in a field where her job will involve making engaging videos.
Last funny: Though she had an ‘anti’ go-for-the-views stance message, the clip above has over 7 million views thus proving her point of quality over quantity. It took her one quality video like this to connect with people that generated views. Haha
Angola Prisoner Henry James, Freed by DNA, Speaks on His 30 Years of Imprisonment (Video)
October 1, 2013
You know, we try to come up with titillating titles to tempt our readers (one-time confession); but this title needed no tweaks… it just labels the story. Above: Amy Goodman, of Democracy Now, talks with former prisoner Henry James – a free man thanks to DNA evidence – who reflects on his case and 30 years of his life he will never get back. We say the brother is a former prisoner – NOT an ex-convict – because he should never have been convicted!
Now… James’ case is NOT a typical case. Nah, that would be ridiculous, right? BUT WAIT! James’ case is NOT typical… because evidence that could free him was actually found! It usually is not, and the convicted serve life without parole!
