2 Chainz Was A High School Basketball Star In Metro Atlanta (Video)
September 12, 2012
2 Chainz!! Once a budding basketball star, we might have just as easily been cheering “2 Points” for Mr. Chainz (real name Tauheed Epps). Here’s a clip that ESPN unearthed of him straight clowning on the court during his high school days on January 17, 1995, Chainz wearing No. 21 in blue representing North Clayton High School in College Park, Georgia)! The Bankhead bounce at the end of the clip is hilarious…

Common – ‘LUV’ (Movie Trailer)
September 12, 2012
Chicago’s Hip-Hop phenom and accomplished actor Common stars in “LUV” – a Sheldon Candis film. Common’s character “Vincent” takes his young nephew (played by Michael Rainey, Jr.) to ‘work for a day.’ But what starts as a loving skip-school-day-with-Uncle Vincent turns gritty quickly. Harsh street realities are brought right to the face of a boy who doesn’t even have time to grow up fast. The trailer teases us with clips from this Sundance Festival hit delivered by a cast that includes urban A-List celebs Charles S. Dutton, Dennis Haysbert, Meagan Good, and Danny Glover. Bet this is going to be a smash! Peep the trailer above & a few additional clips from the film below.
Tupac ‘Dies’ Again: Hologram Company Goes Under (Video)
September 12, 2012
Financial News One reported days ago (see video above) that Digital Domain Media (DDM) CEO John C. Textor had abruptly resigned and that the company was “evaluating its options, including Chapter 11 bankruptcy.” Well, Kenneth Schortgen of Examiner.com is now reporting that DDM, the company that brought rapper Tupac Shakur back to life (as a lifelike hologram at the last Coachella Festival) has indeed filed for bankruptcy:
Tupac Shakur will always live in the minds and hearts of millions of Americans, but his image, resurrected by Digital Domain Media, suffered a second death today at the hands of the bankruptcy courts.
– Kenneth Schortgen, Jr., Examiner.com
Digital Domain Media’s (DDM) resurrected Tupac hologram was received with much fanfare at the last Coachella Festival. Shortly after the Festival, many of us began to ponder whose hologram would make an appearance at the next Coachella. Moreover, recent buzz about a “noteworthy” celebrity appearance at the Republican National Convention gave rise to talk of the possibility of a speech delivered by a hologram of President Ronald Reagan (before we learned that the celebrity speaker would be Clint Eastwood). Indeed, the possibilities for DDM to capitalize on buzz seemed endless. Unfortunately, the company was not able to convert the buzz into anything truly bankable. With its September 11, 2012, bankruptcy filing, DDM (in effect) died… and the possibility of any more of its holographic resurrections (including an encore performance from Tupac) died with it.
R.I.P. DDM. R.I.P. Holo-Tupac.
(One more time, Holo-Tupac…after the jump.)

Consequence – “How You Gon Be Broke In The Rap Game?”
September 12, 2012
Queens native Consequence just put out a banger! This is dope! Dope! Dope! “How You Gon Be Broke In The Rap Game?” ‘If it don’t make dollars, then it don’t make sense / Well then it don’t make sense for you to holla at ‘Quence!’ Wooo! This joint (produced by Consequence and The Produce Section) is like a smack in the head to the artists who got on but didn’t stay on… who don’t have because they didn’t stay on the grind, on their craft, or otherwise handle their business. Cuts deep! On top of that, the beat loop is infectious, and the bridge by Chazo… icing on the cake. Go listen. GO!

Rapsody – “Good Good Love” feat. BJ The Chicago Kid (Prod. By 9th Wonder)
September 11, 2012
9th Wonder’s go-to female emcee is back at it again! Rapsody’s work on “Good Good Love” (featuring BJ The Chicago Kid) does justice to the track no doubt. This is another single off her album, “The Idea of Beautiful” (for which we posted a download link here a while back). Nice track…different side of Rapsody, too…less rawness. It is still on the realness though – relating the struggle, strife, and sacrifice in relationships.

Technology: Sneak Preview of iPhone5? (Video)
September 11, 2012
There are a few videos circulating the Internet that briefly show what is alleged to be the iPhone5. Apparently still ‘in development,’ the model shown side-by-side in the clip above with the current iPhone displays a screen error near the end of the vignette. This video leak breaks the usual hush that surrounds Apple tech releases (if it is proven authentic) in the worst way; as Apple surely would not want a lackluster ‘preview’ (if any) floating around the ‘Net. Well, if the September 12 release date holds, we will know if the iPhone5 looks/functions in any way like this for sure very soon.

Download it. Right here.

Innovatively Breathtaking Graffiti Transforms European Cities (Video)
September 10, 2012
Part interactive installation, part urban performance art, “Video Painting Europe” documents a kind of glow-in-the-dark graffiti that leaves no trace. Art collective Sweatshoppe uses ingenious infrared tracking to smear digital video over concrete surfaces with paint rollers. In this Vimeo Award-winning video, they travel to European cities like Paris, Belgrade, London, and more to paste their “video collages” on different architectural structures — including the Berlin Wall.
