jojo covers t-wayne’s “can’t believe it”.

i call this young dame mini-fergie. she’s very, very talented, and although i haven’t seen her name on the charts recently, she’s been grinding in that stu! as in, studio. back in the day, she sang SWV’s “weak” better than they did, and i don’t even feel comfortable typing that. listen if you don’t believe me.

celebs talk about obama @ dnc ‘08.

obama’s inspiring speech from the democratic national convention in denver. somebody told me he was jamming that “motivational music” before he actually gave it, but that’s just what i heard. if you missed it, i got you. but first, watch some a-list celebs talk about obama’s speech. wow.

LOL at kanye and oprah. i have a feeling they have some sort of tacit beef. check out the speech they’re all talking about after the drop.

jam of the summer. stop hating on it!

michael jackson is 50!

apparently, michael jackson recently celebrated his 50th birthday, and we all know he looks nothing like he should look like at that age. we hired some experts to do some photo-aging via our hi-fi computers in an attempt to analyze how the charming young man who made thriller would look compared to  the ambigiously raced guy who made butterflies and everything else after that the new michael. this is what we came out with:

king of pop, naturally aged at 50.

wacko jacko, artificially altered, at 50.

wow. that butt chin is something SERIOUS. if you had to choose one of the michaels to stay around until the casket drops, which would it be!?

[props: daily mail]

he still sounds the same, though. listen to this 50th b-day interview.

latarian milton x hot 97. oh boy!

LOL. finally, somebody realized he was the greatest person you could possibly interview. the guys over at hot97 in NYC needed to do this for everyone out there who supports latarian. i think this is the funniest thing i’ve heard in a long time.

88-keys feat. kanye west - stay up [viagra].

this guy is great. my claim to fame no shame is that i got this producer/rapper a bottle of water and said i appreciated him producing “thieves in the night” when he was in my boss’ office at def jam. and he was cool, one of the few people who wasn’t too hollywood for the unpaid interns who wore the same clothes to work every day.

back to the track. it’s insane. kanye at his finest. and i like how 88 raps over the phone. it’s crucial. enjoy.

the best obama shirt of all time.

this is the only obama shirt i endorse. while everybody rushed their half-baked ideas for tee’s out, the dudes at undrcrwn chilled, waited for a great idea, and let it loose. bladaow.
revealed at the democratic national convention in denver this weekend. available at boston’s own karmaloop.

[props: hypebeast]

confused? not sure what a young barry is doing dunking on an unsuspecting mccain? we can explain.

WOW. that french guy was 7′2. vince at the 2000 olympics, in his prime. now you understand why this shirt is genius. do you remember those olympic games!? they were great. speaking of the olympics, these just left without much of a bang.

N*E*R*D at democratic national convention.

wow. they got the entire venue on their feet with a convincing argument. how come more people aren’t there, and how come this footage isn’t on more blogs? good looks, joe.

nando mcflyy - S.N.E.S.

the kenny burns show! “greetings from LA.”

DC’s own kenny burns started a vicious podcast known as the kenny burns show, and he just keeps it so funky and original that i needed to post this. he’s funny, too. tabi makes a bunch of appearances in the joint, too. i highly recommend watching this entire episode when you get a chance.

“yeaaaaaah!”


Kenny Burns Greetings From……LA from KENNY BURNS on Vimeo.

oh, and best believe he’s a DC to BC supporter, too.

young jeezy - the vacation [video]

so far, this is the coolest song on “recession” for me.

might i add how i hate that every album that comes out these days leaks, song by song, for like a week and a half, and then the thing is out, and then that release day means nothing anymore!? i wish i could make the world watch that ill doctrine clip again.

chamillionaire is among the best & successful mainstream rappers today, without a doubt.

don’t even try and argue with that statement. you too, duke! ha. his marketing scheme has been ahead of the curve, even when he was selling records out of his trunk and through mom & pop stores all over the south.

common feat. skateboard p - announcement.

i’m back. and so is common, and so is pharrell. i feel like skateboard recorded this joint while he had a mean cough/cold hybrid, because his voice sounds extra baritone. i’m just saying though. check out how he just sticks his head into the video out of nowhere, too. yzr.
