Treach & KayGee Speak On The Rumored Breakup & Changes To ‘Naughty By Nature’ (Video)
May 16, 2013
The Breakfast Club of Power 105 welcome’s Golden Era Hip-Hop trio act Naughty By Nature. Notably absent: Vin Rock! What???? Man. Somehow, I’m hoping they work through this. The Naughty has been through drama before (in fact, Kay Gee mentioned his ‘issues’ with Treach above) and got back on track. Watch the interview and explanation of the bad blood – from [mostly] Treach’s point of view. Wonder how long Kay can stay neutral in all this though.
What a mess. Keep watching with part 2 of the interview after the jump. So Naughty By Nature… the full trio… is booked for a show at The Roots’ Picnic this summer? With the sucker punches and slick talk flying about, we’ll see.

Raekwon – “All About You” feat. Estelle (Prod. By Jerry Wonda)
May 15, 2013
This one would be perfect for commercial radio… Oh wait, I think he got in a muthaf—-r and ‘ninja’ within the first 10 seconds (no radio play for Rae on this one). Hahaa! Chef don’t sell out for radio play. Though with Estelle adding a li’l sexy over the Jerry Wonda track, the Wu-Tang sword style of Raekwon’s delivery on “All About You” is softened just enough to reach a ‘broader’ audience. Nah eff that. This banger still goes hard!
This single is yet another hot rock off the FREE Funkmaster Flex’s “Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself?†mixtape (which you can get from a link in an earlier post here).

Rick Ross and Son Bond Courtside at the Miami Heat v. Chicago Bulls Playoff Game 2 (Video)
May 14, 2013
Ballin’ at the ball game… courtside… BAWSE! Rick Ross and his son take in game 2 of the Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls game 2 of the NBA Playoffs. Ultimate gift: Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat gives Ross’ son the shoes he wore in the game! That makes it a rather historic & special event for a young kid I’m sure he’ll never forget. As the series heads back to Miami tomorrow with the team up 3-1 on the Chicago Bulls it looks like my favorite team the Miami Heat are closer to another historic run for an NBA Championship. Let’s go HEAT! #TEAMHEAT

Dr. Cornel West Sits Down For Conversation With Julian Assange (Audio)
May 14, 2013
WikiLeaks is an international, online, non-profit organization which publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified media from anonymous sources. A few years ago, WikiLeaks published the first set of more than 250,000 secret State Department documents … one of the largest leaks of classified information in history. All in the name of transparency – letting the people know what their governments don’t want them to know – which WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange believes is important in keeping societies free.
In the audio below, Assange sits down with Dr. Cornel West at the Ecuadorian embassy in London to speak on the importance of keeping societies and governments open, on propaganda campaigns against him (including those spurred by the U.S. government), on his latest text, “Cypherpunks,” and more. Very interesting listen.
