VICE: West African Truckers (Documentary)
April 9, 2013
Damn! Vice has always delivered compelling video content. Which is why we feature episodes here (and likely why HBO and Bill Maher are banking on it now). But this… this is off the chain!
‘Trade in West Africa is perennially f*cked,’ according to Vice.com, due to the oppressive colonization; and to the corrupt post-colonial governments that took over once the White man left (unfortunately, they learned the lessons of awful government well). Given those traditions’ influence on modern transportation regulation (or lack thereof), we have the realities of West Africa road delivery today: from internal checkpoints manned by local police and customs agents on the lookout for smugglers intimidating everyone they can for bribes… ‘Then there’s just f*ckers who’ll pull you over and straight-up rob you,’ Vibe.com reports. Then there are poorly maintained roads. All of this makes it hard on West African truckers… who more often than not, turn to booze and roadside prostitution. Which is where the AIDS comes in. Yeah, getting it and spreading it on the road.
Again… Damn! Watch the vid.
Nice, But Didn’t Anyone Think That Package Looked Suspicious? (Video)
April 9, 2013
As for the footage, van der Vleuten was amazed to see the complex – and efficient – conveyor belt system at work; and that relatively few people actually touched the package on its journey. But most surprising (and a bit scary), was that based on the pics that showed the open box; that thing really, really looks like a homemade bomb! “To be honest this was my biggest concern as well,†van der Vleuten admits. He included a note explaining that this was part of a student project with no criminal intent, but regardless: “Every time, I was bringing it to the post office with sweaty hands.â€
As is their duty, delivery workers drop off packages like this every day. Neither rain, nor sleet… nor threat of ‘bomb’… or something like that, right?

Black Milk x Pen – “Computer Ugly Ugly/Why Worry”
April 8, 2013
“Computer Ugly Ugly/Why Worry” is a quick slick blend from Black Milk’s “Synth Or Soul” instrumental project (due out April 20, 2013) – first of the instrumental/art series Fuzz, Freqs & Colors (FFC). FFC is the first project launched by the new creative house Computer Ugly. You can listen to the blend and pre-order the full-length below.
Interesting music born from an interesting process – each volume starts with producer Black Milk and illustrator Upendo “Pen†Taylor (Nike, Leroy Jenkins, Gatorade) trading beats and sketches and refining their works along the way (e.g. the music is shaped by the visual art and the visual art is shaped by the music).

Justin Timberlake – “Suit & Tie” feat. Jay-Z (DJ Ted Smooth Remix) [Clean]
April 8, 2013
“Suit & Tie” – we posted on it. is what it is. Ask Kanyeezy what it is. Hahaa! Got a funkdafied version to post courtesy of DJ Ted Smooth. This… is… the remix… (for FREE)!
‘So after so many requests from my Twitter, Facebook & Instagram Family, i’ve decided to take a shot at this Suit & Tie Remix but what really made it a “Must Do” is the fact that i’m a big Jay Z fan and the way they changed the beat on the original made Jay Z’s verse sound horrible so that was my main objective here and i now personally feel that i’ve done the homie Hov justice….. lol Enjoy people.’ – DJ Ted Smooth

Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) – “The Light Is Not Afraid Of The Dark” (Produced By Kanye West) [Unreleased]
April 6, 2013
A short while back video hit the web of the artist Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, performing an unreleased song called ‘The Light Is Not Afraid Of The Dark’. You can check out the video from the live performance in Chicago after the jump, but thanks to the good people over at OKP the unreleased track has been unearthed. The Kanye West produced track was recorded during the time Mos Def was working on his ‘True Magic’ album although the song didn’t make the final cut. Seems there’s always a few quality gems like these that eventually get to see the light of day as compared to the thousands of recordings the public may never ever get to hear. As a Yasiin Bey/Mos Def & Kanye West fan I’m glad we were able to have the opportunity to peep this quality joint right here….
