Black Thought spoke on some of the rough times in his life from a brief period selling drugs in Philly & being kicked out of school.

Comedy: Tim Tebow Meets Jesus (Video)
This Saturday Night Live skit from Saturday night was hilarious. Basically Tim Tebow, who is a devout christian finally meets Jesus in this SNL skit & learns that Jesus is only helping Tim Tebow & the Denver Broncos in the 4th quarter of every game. Ironically Jesus says he wouldn’t make it for their game versus the New England Patriots. Hilariously the Broncos lost yesterday to the Patriots 41-23! Bwahahaaaaaa!!!
Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance (Film Trailer)
Marvel returns with the sequel to the first Ghost Rider film starring Nicholas Cage. This time Marvel character Method Man Johnny Blaze returns in Ghost Rider: The Spirit Of Vengeance which is due to hit theaters February 17th. I wasn’t too impressed with the first Ghost Rider film, but this trailer for the sequel appears very promising. A February release date for the movie could mean that’s it’s not that good, but I hope Marvel filmmakers surprise us on this one. After watching the trailer I’m already surprised to see actor Idris Elba in this this flick which makes it his second Marvel feature film appearance since the movie Thor that dropped last summer. Who knows? Every Wu-Tang Clan fans knows Johnny Blaze is one of Method Man’s alter egos just like Ghostface Killah’s alter ego is Tony Starks. Maybe Marvel will have a special cameo from Method Man in this film just like Ghostface had in Iron Man sequel before the scene was deleted from the theatrical version.
Sean Falyon – “Dig It” (Video)
I’d argue with anyone that I don’t believe there is any independent artist that hustles & makes as many moves on his own than Sean Falyon. That nikka is literally EVERYWHERE…. For real For Real.

From Philly to NYC and across the country to Los Angeles, Sean Falyon is all over the globe promoting his music, performing and recording. Follow a quick day in the life with Sean as he moves around New York City pursuing his love for the music! Indy artists take notes & peep game….
R&B/Alternative: Tawiah – Run (EP)
British soul singer Tawiah has been the background for many other names in the business for some time now, but she’s slowly creeping out & getting her just due recognition for her talent. The young singer spent a significant time touring the world working as a background vocalist in Mark Ronson’s band in addition to delivering background vocals for Corinne Bailey Rae & sometimes filling in for the late great Amy Winehouse. Having gained significant cosigns & recognition for her voice from artists such as Cee-Lo Green, Mary J. Blige, & Lily Allen, it wasn’t long before she signed a new deal with Warner Bros records. Tawiah is undoubtedly stepping out from the background with her new 5 song EP entitled “Run” that serves up as an appetizer before her first full length project is to drop sometime in 2012. This new EP is her second self-financed project since the one she dropped in February of last year called “In Jodi’s Bedroom”. Check out the title track from the EP below plus one of my favorite joints from her which is a remix to “Breakaway” off of her soundcloud page. Check out her new video for “Little Drummer Boy” that also appears on the new EP under the hood….

Christopher Martin – “Cheaters Prayer” (Don’t Get Caught) [Video]
A good song that gets a good video to match it. Chris Martin just coming back from another performance in Kenya, gets to ride the wave off this song off the Cardiac Strings Riddim produced by CR203 Records. Check the storyline and the theme, ‘not the first and not the last, look how much pretty girls a pass’, ‘please don’t let me cheat on my girl-friend’. I like the small detail at the very end of the video too..Hahaaa!
