CURREN$Y - "JET FILES"

The Young Spitter from the "N.O." might be the most slept on southern rapper out right now.
He's got the work effort of James Brown and releases more mixtapes than Weezy.

COMMON featuring CEE-LO - "MAKE MY DAY"

As you would expect...pure soul when Common and Cee-Lo get together. The good Rev. referenced Cee-Lo in his sermon this Sunday morning. Didn't see that one coming. :)

OBAMA'S NOBEL PRIZE UNCONSTITUTIONAL???

One would think that President Obama being a Con-Law Prof. would know whether his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize would run afoul of the US Constitution. Apparently the President is forbidden from accepting an "emolument" (prize/title) from a foreign government, and the Nobel falls into this category. Part of me says that this is just another display of the haters trying to "shine block" the President, and the other half of me says that the law is the law.

In the end I say fly on over to Norway and accept this prestigious honor on behalf of all of us that believe that war is not the answer.

HIP HOP MELODY

Who knew hip-hop would make it this far? What we have here are two young chaps from the UK giving us a dose of classic hip-hop songs on what appears to be a hand held beat machine. These cats are stiff as a board but they are Brits...what do you expect?

Enjoy.

SHINE BLOCKAS

You ever have those people out there that hate on you at every turn?
Just when you have a major come up in your life they do whatever they can to rain on your parade.
Well...Big Boi and Gucci Mane would call these people "Shine Blockas". Their only purpose in life is to block you from shining like a star. I say let'em block...darkness can never exist in the light.

On a side note...the above song is a nice sample of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' "I Miss You Baby". This song will have you crying like a child and rolling around on the floor if your mind ain't right. Most def not a song to listen to solo on a Friday night.

Enjoy.

THIS AIN'T YOUR GRANDMA'S CHARLESTON

Watch these two brothers dance in synch to Daft Punk's "Around the World" doing the Charleston in their Sunday best. Next time I am at the club I may clear me some space and try this out. Eat your heart out "stanky leg"!

Oh yeah...this is the original video.

Enjoy.

THE LINGO KID

Watch this true hustler show off his skills on the streets of Mumbai. He's only 15 years old and speaks more "languages than the Pope". Cats walking around the U.S. think they have game. They don't have nothing on Ravi. He can sell ice to an Eskimo and water to a whale in more languages than a U.N. SUMMIT.

DIONNE BROMFIELD - HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!

Ladies and Gents you heard it here first. We have Dionne Bromfield from across the pond. Catch her London debut as her "godmother" Amy Winehouse backs her up on the vocals. I think we have a legend in the making. She even sounds like Amy!

Let's just hope that none of Winehouse's bad habits have a negative impact on the 13 year old singing prodigy.

Enjoy.

JAY-Z "WE RUN THIS TOWN" OFFICIAL YANKEE ANTHEM

Seems as if the Yankees have adopted Mr. Carter's "WE RUN THIS TOWN" as their official song as they head into October. If they play this song as the team warms up during the play-off season, I would at least hope they turn it down when Rihanna grabs the mic. Sounds like cats being strangled when she's on the hook.

SPORTS PRESS CONFERENCE MELTDOWNS...THE REMIX

I can never get enough of watching our beloved sports figures lose it at
press conference. I guess none of us would handle it very well if someone came
on our job and stuck a mic in our face when we were having the worst day ever.

"SINGLE LADIES" THE HIPSTER EDITION

Peep a couple of hipsters remake Bey Bey's "Single Ladies" Joint.
Not bad at all if I can say so myself.

Enjoy.
