VH1 Behind The Music: Game (Video)
March 24, 2012
I found the preview VH1 released on their Behind The Music segment with Game to be very interesting as they covered him growing up in a dysfunctional family, trying to be a good husband to his wife, a good father to his kids that he never had & more but the VH1 producers were smart in not giving fans too much too soon. Now you can watch the full VH1 Behind The Music segment on Game right here. I found it to be a very interesting story from his life, being influenced by Ice Cube & Nas, his beef with 50 Cent, having fatal thoughts of suicide & a whole lot more….

Nardwuar x Kendrick Lamar (Video)
March 23, 2012
I really enjoy Canada native Nardwuar’s interviews with artists not only because they are quirky & funny, but you can tell that he also does his research with the artists & the music. I wonder if this dude stays in character long after the interviews are completely done or if this is his real personality. Check out this interview with Kendrick Lamar down at SXSW & a few other interviews under the hood from when Nardwuar caught up with Action Bronson, A$AP Rocky, & a few others…..

The Philly young bull is back at it with a new video for “Lean Wit It”. Besides Meek Mill’s hit joint with Rick Ross called “Ima Boss”, this Cardiak produced track is probably my second favorite joint from Meek Mill other than the “Middle Of The Summer” joint he dropped on this Dreamchasers mixtape. Glad they made a video out of this song right here because it bangs…..
