Wesley Warren, Jr. – The Man With The 132-Pound Scrotum (Video)
September 2, 2013
Think you got the biggest balls? Not really, unless you are one of a relative few affected with Wesley Warren, Jr.’s affliction. Watch the above video in which Warren talks about how it was living with the affliction and how he ended up with a mega-swollen, mega-uncomfortable 132-pound scrotum in the first place. After the jump: at least one thing you want to know… How’s Warren’s sex life?
This is a strange story to be certain; but it is also a sad commentary on the lack of access to healthcare in the U.S., according to Warren.

Rich Kidd Gets It Crackin’ In Canada During The Caribana Festival (Video)
September 2, 2013
Ghana-by-way-of-Toronto rapper/producer Rich Kidd goes up to North North America for a work-cation – ending up at Canada’s Caribana parade, but not before doing some studio work with Young Guru, doing some stage time, and visiting The Remix Project (a community center for kids interested in music and film).
But the Kidd finally does get to the festival of fine women, and he gets it in. Chatting, partying… running amok on the streets… horsing around so wild he manages to break his ankle (different spin on “break a leg, Kidd“ to be certain). Now, you might think laughter is the best medicine; but check out the medical ASS-istance Rich Kidd gets instead. Crazy!

Rah Digga – “New Hoes”
August 30, 2013
Along the same vein of her real talk joint “And Another One” (featuring Rapsody), Rah Digga is back with more raise-your-damn-kids commentary on a track. This one is a rework of Kanye West’s “New Slaves” (we posted a nice LAKIM rework of that here by the way). She’s calling hers “New Hoes.” And like last time, Rah releases a statement with the song:
‘There’s more outrage over a Kendrick verse than babies in the street TWERKING. Or have folks forgotten what this leads to?? Guess I’m just too school for cool in this regard. My name is Rah Digga and I approve this message!!’

August 30, 2013
The MCHG album may be lackluster & didn’t live up to expectations, but the video is at least interesting to look at visually. Director Anthony Mandler gets the nod for delivering on the visuals for Jigga’s “Holy Grail” (featuring Justin Timberlake).

Yancey Boys – “Quicksand” feat. Common x Dezi Paige
August 29, 2013
“Sunset Blvd” is the new Delicious Vinyl from Yancey Boys – John “Illa J†Yancey (brother of the late great James “J Dilla” Yancey) and Frank Nitt). All productions on the “Sunset Blvd” LP originate from ‘The Lost Scrolls’ (a collection of beats J Dilla left behind). This “Quicksand†single off the LP features Common and some cool cooing from Dezi Paige.
“…this isn’t a nostalgia trip: Dilla’s beats were so future-forward that they’re right on time in 2013, and we’ve assembled the best artists possible to represent that.”
– Frank Nitt
Dirty Wars (Trailer)
August 29, 2013
“America knows war. They are war masters.”
In the war on terrorism, almost anything goes. And that ‘almost’ (e.g. what America won’t do) part of the war strategy is getting smaller all the time. Drone strikes, night raids, torture enhanced interrogation …and civilian casualties. Author, investigative reporter and whistle-blower Jeremy Scahill documents the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), the most secret fighting force in U.S. history in “Dirty Wars,” exposing operations carried out by men who officially ‘do not exist’ (and who are therefore beyond the reach of domestic or international law). No target is off-limits. NO TARGET IS OFF LIMITS!
Wake up America! We can find some justification for some of this to be certain. But how far will we take these “Dirty Wars” when we know there is no real accountability for whatever atrocities are done in our name? Who determines who is an ‘enemy of the United States’ (maybe an American citizen… maybe in America)?

Morgan Freeman Covers ‘Twerking’ On HLN (Video)
August 29, 2013
‘Twerking’ has been added to the Oxford Dictionary. That’s bad. Having Morgan Freeman ‘reporting’ it as part of a morning broadcast… REALLY bad. He was wide awake at 5 AM to read this mini-story on ‘twerking’ … Now, if you read our last post related to Morgan Freeman, you know he could have been doing something… ANYTHING… better. Like catching up on sleep.
In the clip, he admits he hadn’t even HEARD of ‘twerking’ until HLN Morning Express had him reading about it that day. Should’ve gotten Miley Cyrus to read the bit. She could have covered other slang – like ‘pop the Miley molly’ or something. No sweatin’ (woooo). Hahaaa!

VICE: Chicago’s Gang Problem & The Inequitable Sharing Of Nigeria’s Oil Resources (Video)
August 28, 2013
YES! Damn smart move by VICE: posting its HBO shows online for their fans who don’t have premium cable.
“Don’t nobody wanna talk no more. It’s so easy to get a gun out here. Everybody wanna shoot it out.”
Wow. Remember how we posted on ‘Chi raq’ (Chicago being a war zone akin to Iraq)? Well, VICE addresses that in this episode’s first half. For the last half, VICE documents Nigeria’s oil industry – oil theft, financial and social costs, and more.
