True Talent

Sometimes people just have a talent that is undeniable. One of my favorite new singers in the game is Jasmine Sullivan, and this footage of her playing Dorothy in "The Wiz" at age 11 shows & proves the concept of being "born to do this". The trill at 2:49 gives me goosebumps. No lie.




THAT GIRL CAN SANG.

MOOD MUSIC

Who needs lyrics when you can evoke this kind of emotion with melody alone? Honestly one of the most beautiful themes ever recorded for a film. Believe me when I say that this piece will long outlive the film that it was written for, as "classic" as it might be considered.

Bonus Info: Taylormade & I produced a song that sampled this years ago. I wrote the lyrics as a dedication to my girl at the time...who later became my wife. Thanks, Mr. Evans. I thought I'd share the original after all these years.



PERFECTION.

Pork On My Fork V.2: My Blood Boileth Over

These officers should be ashamed of themselves. Ask yourself two questions: How would you feel if the Police stood in the way of getting help for someone you loved? How would you feel if you swore to help someone and the Police stood in the way of that promise?





NO WORDS.

How To Catch The Acting Bug

Step 1: Have an elementary school play based on "Scarface"
Step 2: Replace all F-words with "Fudge"
Step 3: Do you really need a step 3?

Der Humpink!

Congratulations to Christoph Walz, who won the Best Supporting Actor trophy last week at the Oscars. He was great in Inglorious Basterds...but he kills it with this one.



YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA.

S.W.B.

The following experiment was a bit over the top, but it does illustrate some of the daily problems Black people in America still face. With all this talk of a "post-racial" United States, it should still come as no surprise that we are still being subjected to prejudices and humiliation by those who choose to remain ignorant of other cultures. This may make you mad or even shock you, but it needs to be seen.

THE MORE THINGS CHANGE...

And The Winner Is...

...The Super Bowl?! Check this video out. They didn't quite get the Tarantino one right in my opinion, but this is right up my alley.



FIN.

FLUD WATCHES X THE DHARMA INITIATIVE

Limited Edition Ben Linus watch from the good folks @ FLUD WATCHES. My man Doug is an even bigger LOST fanatic than I am, but I still need one of these to complement my Dharma jumpsuit. I'll be at THE BELL HOUSE tomorrow for a special screening of the Season Premiere. Come through if you can prepare to shut your mouth while the show's on!

WHATEVER HAPPENED HAPPENED.

SPORTS + DRUGS

These two things usually don't mix. Usually.



"OOH, I JUST MADE A TOUCHDOWN!"

FOUND.

There's so much that I can say about Lost. But I won't say anything until it's finished. February 2nd can't come fast enough. In the meantime, check this 24-style real-time Lost clip that someone put together. It chronicles all of the events taking place during the crash of Oceanic 815. Whoa.




WHAT LIES IN THE SHADOW OF THE STATUE?

THE BEST MEDICINE

DISCLAIMER: I actually like some of what Young Money is doing these days, but this video is HYSTERICAL! That said, the 1:40 mark in this video is comic genius.



GUDDA GUDDA.

Call Me Old School...

...but as far as I'm concerned, rappers shouldn't wear skirts.



INDIVIDUALITY & INTEGRITY ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE.

I can't wait...

6 years ago, I saw SADE twice during her Lover's Rock tour (once in Jersey, and again in a pre-Katrina New Orleans). These were two of the most amazing live music experiences I've had to this day. Can't believe the new album is about to drop in a month!
