January 10, 2013
FREE download for “Spazztastic” (featuring REKS) off the Sha Stimuli and Dynamite Bruhz collaboration project, “The Present.”
‘This was one of the most EPIC recording sessions at the library. I watched and tracked REKS and Sha Stimuli destroy our beat going back and forth, recording each verse in three takes or less, AND writing their verses while the other was tracking… Less than an hour start-to-finish. This is a MUST LISTEN!’

Cassidy – “Condom Style PSA” (Video)
January 10, 2013
When Cassidy released his freestyle parody of Korean rapper PSY’s globally popular “Gangnam Style” song I wasn’t feeling it at all, but I greatly appreciated the message & intended purpose in which Cassidy was doing it was for. The good people over at Condom-Nation obviously felt the same way as they’ve linked with Cassidy for this public service announcement video promoting safe sex. Check out the clip in which they hand out free condoms in the greater Los Angeles area & have fun reminding people to wrap it up. Now Stroke Em Condom Style! Haha

Big Boi Puts Faith In The Atlanta Falcons On ESPN’s First Take (Video)
January 9, 2013
It’s a huge playoff game for the Atlanta Falcons this weekend as they take on the red hot Seattle Seahawks. As of right now the Atlanta Falcons are a 2-point favorite to beat the Seahawks, but in their last playoff game they only scored 2-points total versus the Green Bay Packers. No wonder people unwilling to give that vote of confidence in the Atlanta Falcons winning their first playoff game ever. Big Boi stopped by ESPN’s First Take & chopped it up with Stephen A. Smith & Skip Bayless about Atlanta’s chances & believes they will do well if they stay out of the strip clubs before the big game.

Technology: DJ Rocks Party With His Face & Body (Video)
January 9, 2013
Tokyo’s Daito Manabe takes the role of programmer, designer, DJ, VJ, and composer on each of his projects. Whereas most electronic musicians control sound with their hands, Manabe controls it with his facial muscles and feet. With shoes made for more than just walking, Manabe retro-fitted some Nike sneaks with sensors that trigger and manipulate sound. Even the fastest DJs may want to take note’ as this guy can rock sets with his whole body! What’s crazy is Manabe’s projects have also involved stimulating facial expressions with sound. Maybe he will become the DJ who literally rocks the body (face) that rocks the party, too. Wow.
Check out Manabe above and with Perfume choreographer MIKIKO’s below for Nosaj Thing’s “Eclipse/Blue†below. Below that, see some stills from Manabe’s various projects.

Bill Cosby Being ‘Himself’ With Jimmy Fallon and The Roots (Video)
January 8, 2013
You know, I’ve seen so much video of Bill Cosby in serious activist mode… I almost forgot how funny he could be. By the way, ‘Bill Cosby Himself‘ is one of the three funniest stand-up comedy specials of all time. Just saying. The ‘Dad is Great…’ bit The Roots does here comes straight from that Cosby stand-up back in the day.
Above is part 1 of the first King of Must-See TV on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon… clowning with the host and Late Night’s Greatest Band, The Roots. Hahahaaaa! Check out part 2 after the jump (where the antics continue). So… is it like that in Philly for real JayForce?
(BONUS: I embedded a YouTube of ‘Bill Cosby Himself’ after the jump. Check it out. And you’re welcome!)
