Technology: Drones Deployed Over South Africa Drop Beers Not Bombs (Video)
August 12, 2013
Not all the news on drone tech nowadays is scary. Remember that UK pizza delivery drone post on here? Well, how about beer… delivered! Hey, it’s what South African concert goers had available. A beer order is placed, a drone is loaded and deployed with beer, the drone flies over the location of the order and delivers the payload via parachute drop… and a crowd cheers. Nice!
‘At the moment it is hand guided, but it will eventually fly on a GPS grid.’
– OppiKoppi TV
According to NY Daily News, the drone already flies delivery by GPS grid. OppiKoppi came up with the concept. Darkwing Aerials took it from concept to prototype. Want to see it work? Here we go (above).

Steven Fulop: Marine Turned ‘Action-Adventure Mayor’ of Jersey City (Video)
August 9, 2013
Businessweek magazine had this article entitled “Action-Adventure Mayors” (renamed something far less fun in its online edition..but oh well). Could have been a new comic series or something; so of course, I had to read it. Turns out, Democratic politicians like Steven Fulop are beginning their careers by running for mayor in towns in need of a major turnaround. Check out this U.S. Marine vet who defeated a solid incumbent for the Jersey City (NJ, USA) top spot with this ad (above). Creative… oh yeah! Compelling… for sure. But did it really say anything about why he was qualified for office or how he proposed to turn things around? Is any of that ‘stuff’ (you know platform, policy stance, plans…) even necessary in today’s politics? Just saying.
(That said… I think it is a cool video, too.)

R&B: Jeremih – “Love Hangover” (Prod. By Pop x Oak)
August 9, 2013
Jeremih dropped this jawn “Love Hangover” (produced by Pop & Oak). His “Thumpy Johnson” LP is on the way… supposedly. The project’s “machine” has sputtered so far; but there’s still time left in the year. And evidenced by this track, there is still much good music to be heard from J.

Akir aka “Always Keep It Real†does just that. He makes beats and his raspy flow and gangsta-infused content is borne of the street.

Yeah! Rap with a message. Even the NFL’s Peyton and Eli Manning know it is important to have a message within the music. “It’s football on your phone.” How’s that for a message?
Hahaaaa! The Manning boys are flow-nomenal (and funny) in this one… even getting their dad (Archie) in this crazy DirecTV’s NFL Sunday commercial.

Bone Crusher – “Vibration” feat. Raheem Devaughn
August 8, 2013
Remember when Bone Crusher flow style was like the Dirty South’s loud bull rumbling through a China shop? Well… this is less ‘rumble’ more “Vibration.” Smoothed out joint featuring Raheem Devaughn takes it in another direction. One that may take a couple of listens to get used to. Vibe is nice though.
Comedy: Stephen Colbert ‘Gets Lucky’ Performing Daft Punk’s Hit (Video)
August 8, 2013
Stephen colbert invite Hugh Laurie et Matt… by oh-my-magSo that’s the word: The French dance music duo Daft Punk cancels on their Colbert Report appearance – citing as the reason a prior arrangement to do no live performances for the MTV/Viacom associated networks before MTV’s VMA Awards. But so what??!! Host Stephen Colbert does his own star-studded “Get Lucky” music video/performance/dancefest for his ColbChella ‘013… and it will be one of the most enjoyable clips you will watch this week!
(Actually, the Daft Punk guys may not have even been scheduled for the show… so don’t hold any grudges for them. But DO enjoy the above clip… thoroughly!)
Playing “Rhythm Roulette” With !llmind… and Patti LaBelle? (Video)
August 8, 2013
The blindfold goes on, and NYC producer !llmind goes in! Picking Patti LaBelle, QuarterHash, and Freddie Hubbert records… dude goes to work creating some track magic! Rough going at first (you’ll see); but he pulls out the banger in the end. !llmind is one of my favorite producers these days. I don’t think there’s anyone who can successfully fuse the boom bap & trap worlds together so effectively & consistently.

The sequel to the 2011 Thor movie “Thor: The Dark World” hits big screens November 8, 2013. The timeline for the sequel picks up where “The Avengers” movie left off; focusing on Thor. This trailer alludes to the action and story of the sequel – grand-scale battles, teaming with Loki (WHAT?) and more. It’s said that this one will track closer to the Thor of comic lore.
