Stephon Marbury’s Life In China (Video)

Former NBA star Stephon Marbury is currently playing overseas in China for the Beijing Ducks & appears to have found some serenity while living over there. Seems like he’s at peace since his rather odd break downs he had on the internet a while ago appearing suicidal & eating vaseline. Although everything appears to be smaller for Marbury, literally & figuratively, I’d bet anything that he’s a rather smart man in trying to build his Starbury shoe brand globally. Almost like taking a few steps backwards in efforts to make a thousand steps forward….

Samsung To Launch Thin Flexible Tablets & Cellphones (Video)

While many of us are excited about our iphones & ipads, Korean electronics maker Samsung has taken the tablets & cellphones to new levels with the design of products that are OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) based. I remember when I first went to Japan & saw they already had camera & video phones years ahead of what he had here in the states. Samsung makes some great television products, but damn once this hits the states this will further change the game. As a self confessed gadget junkie I’m very impressed. The rumors are these products are poised to roll out in Asia early 2012. Check out more video under the hood….

Stacy Barthe – “Never Did” (Video)


Songwriter Stacy Barthe is largely known behind the scenes for penning some great songs for Rihanna & numerous artists in the music business. Not surprisingly the songs she wrote for Rihanna were the only one’s I dug from Rihanna the most. Now Stacy Barthe is stepping out from behind the scenes of her Surf Club writing team to focus on her own singing talents in releasing this new video for “Never Did” off of her “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe” EP. Personally I would like to see her have a creative video for “Without You” featuring Frank Ocean or “The Only One” which are my personal favorites from her EP. But after watching this video she maybe doing just that in setting up all the songs in parts like a short film of sorts…

Ghostface Killah Talks DOOMStarks Project (Video)

We have been awaiting the collab project featuring DOOM and Tony Starks for YEARS. In this video Ghostface says its still on the way. On a side note how ironic is it that during this interview Ghostface is rocking Pro Skateboarder Stevie Williams’s “Dirty Ghetto Kids” baseball cap? That could easily be an acronym for “Doom Ghostface Killah”…..

Georgetown University Course On Jay-Z Draws Support & Criticism (Video)

Personally I find a course on Jay-Z at Georgetown University is a bit “REACHING” because most of his material over the years didn’t push many boundaries socially so I’m not surprised by the criticism the course is getting. Especially considering that it’s mandatory that the students purchase Jay-Z’s book to take the class & Michael Eric Dyson & the school itself most likely receive grants from the publishers for even having the course & carrying the book at the student book store. Any current or former college student will tell you that the biggest hustle with many of the courses you take is in the books you are required to purchase that often times you can’t sell back to the school once the course is over. It’s “Big business” being pushed as academia. A truly smart individual doesn’t need to take a course on Jay-Z to understand ‘the hustle’, but it won’t be me or most smart people I know getting “hustled” into taking this class.

NYC Man Earns $55,000 A Year Peddling Candy On Subway (Video)

Sugar rush hour from Bianca Consunji on Vimeo.

Full story HERE, but this seems like a legit hustle. If he is upfront about his purpose for selling the goods and not telling false sob stories, I can dig this. Get your paper young man.

Fresh Daily – ‘The Quiet Life’ (Video)

Fresh Daily “The Quiet Life” from NVizion on Vimeo.

Me and director Nahgee went out to my manager Craig’s neck of the woods, Boyds, Maryland on the hottest week of the summer this year. So if you see me sweating like a slave, that’s why, lol. Shot this in 2 days. Then once things cooled down a bit we went out to Connecticut for a weekend and shot down by the shore. I really wanted to capture the feel of what made me write this song. So I went to the places that inspired the project.
Had alot of fun shooting it with friends and enjoying the summer countryside.
Enjoy!
