The RZA speaks discusses sampling and moving towards live instrumentation for the upcoming (a very under-promoted) Chamber Music album dropping @ the end of the month. Features will include Masta Ace, AZ, Cormega, Sean Price, Havoc, Kool G Rap, Sadat X and Tre Williams, with music provided by soul band, The Revelations.

And hopefully it will feature music to make up for that 8 Diagrams album.

President Obama swatted at & apparently killed a fly, further proving that he’s more solemnly cool than the average man. To me, I saw flashes of Mr. Miyagi and Bruce Leroy catching the bullet with his teeth. I sat & watched this clip on the news yesterday, thinking “man, this cat just killed the fly & kept on moving with poise.” Essentially, he shored up my vote for 2012 just by killing the varmit with a hand swat.

Now, those pesky people at PETA are upset and wishes he had merely brushed the fly aside, instead of harming the insect. Read the rest of this entry »

We all know the FCC wouldn’t allow this type of comedy on American airwaves.

My enthusiasm may not come across in mere words but these kids are killin’ it. I won’t keep repeating all the praises for what they’re managing to do, which is basically be that one crew that sends me an entertaining song every day. Never “monumental,” but always good.

This morning it’s “Dumbin’ Out,” produced Read the rest of this entry »

No Keri appearances, which means you can really open this in another tab and actually listen more than you watch. Tru laments his life & it’s worth a listen.

TC sends me girlfights & shit from WSHH but those are usually just teenage girls pulling hair & yelling “bitch” a bunch of times. Nothing too vicious and I assume that TC watches so he can see tits fly out.

But this footage of an Oakland salon beatdown…SMH. I try to avoid videos like these because it hurts me when the beating goes on for too long lol. No disrespect to MM & anyone from the area but I won’t be visiting Read the rest of this entry »

The latest and perhaps last video in a great campaign run by Nike.  And just as we speculated earlier, there were a slew of vids that never saw the light of day.  Or maybe they did, because I spent most of the playoffs relying on the comments, Twitter and ESPN to keep up with the games.  But they’re new to me & I’m sure you’ll let me know if you’ve seen them before.  So hit the jump for three more.

‘Starface’, ‘Starred for life’, ‘Star Jones’ or ‘Starred Wreck’? Pick one.

As the story goes, Lil’ Kimmy here went to a tattoo parlor to get a mere 3 little stars inked on her face when she fell asleep. As you can see in the picture, she does indeed have 3 stars on her face. But there’s a constellation of 53 right next to them. Outraged, she’s suing the guy that did this to her. You ask, “Who is this fellow?”
