Video: Raphael Saadiq "Love That Girl"

This video dropped about a week ago. I am so glad Raphael Saadiq made a video for this song; it is definitely one of my favorite songs from the album. I also like Sometimes" and "100 Yard Dash". If you have not copped "The Way I See It", you are definitely sleepin'. This album is one of my favorite releases of the year. I love the old school vibe of the album, a theme that is definitely apparent in this video...Check it out...

Classic Video: Kut Klose "I Like"

Does anyone remember this joint? This video takes me all the way back to those middle school dances. I liked Kut Klose, but they basically fell off the radar after their first album, Surrender, in 1995. Enjoy!

MP3: M.I.A. feat. Wale - Boyz Remix

This joint been out for awhile but never quite got totally leaked out .With the success of "Paper Planes" another verse was added. You may recognize the initial verse which is the original part

that became The Bmore Club Slam track. It's def worth checking out!!!! Yea, I know Jay-z got one, but I'm posting Wale....gotta spread that DC.

"I Like Gettin' High"...

A few days ago I felt like reminiscing to a 90's movie, so I checked out Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever". I forgot how many good actors were in this movie (Halle Berry, Ossie Davis, Samuel L. Jackson, Wesley Snipes, and John Turturro). I also forgot that this film marked the beginning of Halle Berry's acting career. She played Gator's crackhead sidekick Vivian, a role that was flooded with cursing and one that required Halle to look tattered. I am definitely not used to seeing her in roles like this. For those of you have yet to see "Jungle Fever" here is a good movie synopsis via All Movie Guide:

"Spike Lee defines "jungle fever" as sexual attraction between members of two races. In his film Jungle Fever, he examines the repercussions of an interracial affair upon two very distinct communities. Wesley Snipes is Flipper, a happily married and successful architect, and Annabella Sciorra is Angie, an office temp. When she starts working in Flipper's Manhattan office, one day they look at each other and are soon having sex over a blueprint-strewn desk. Their liaison causes an explosion on both homefronts. Flipper's family consists of his father Doctor Purify (Ossie Davis), a former preacher; his mother Lucinda (Ruby Dee); his violent, crackhead brother Gator (Samuel L. Jackson); and his wife Drew (Lonette McKee), whom he loves, despite his sexual attraction to Angie. Angie's family is a typical Italian-American household from Bensonhurst. She's engaged to Paulie Carbonne (John Turturro), who works in a deli owned by his father Lou (Anthony Quinn). When the two families find out about Flipper and Angie's affair, their shock leads to recriminations and racial animosity"

The movie also does a great job of looking at one of the biggest social issues going on in the 80's/90's - the crack epidemic. This movie was able to successfully depict the harsh realities of the crack epidemic ranging from its effects on crime to its effects on ordinary people and their loved ones. Despite this dismal theme, the movie was quite comical enlisting the help of Samuel L. Jackson as one of the crackheads. Check out this scene where Gator asks his younger brother Flipper for some money. I could not help but start laughing. It was very Dave Chapellesque and reminded me a lot of Tyrone Biggums.

Video: Wu-Tang - "36 Chambers EPK"...

I peeped this video over at 1x4yourmind.com and had to post it. This was one of the first albums I had in my hip hop collection. You know, back in the day when you had your CDs stacked up in a rack in order to showoff to your friends. I acquired "Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers" via a trade with my cousin in exchange for Vanilla Ice's "To the Extreme". I am still laughing about that trade to this day. Anyway, check out the video. It took me way back and hopefully it does the same for you....T.R.O.Y.

WTF???? #13

Ummm...yea about this....smh

"A middle school teacher in Missouri was suspended Monday for putting a video on YouTube of his students chanting lines from Barack Obama speeches and wearing military fatigues.

The video, called "Obama Youth -- Junior Fraternity Regiment," was posted by a YouTube user named "keepitwildtv" on Oct. 2. The school learned the video was on the Internet and took action against the teacher Monday morning."

MP3: Jay-Z - Lick a Shot for Obama

Damn, Green Lantern's new mixtape Yes We Can is looking very promising. Check out this track from Hov! Jay speaking over one of his classic beats! I'm wondering if this is the full song?? According to 2dopeboyz, this is merely an interlude for the mixtape, but it'd be interesting to hear Hov just rip this beat again!
