The Audacity of Dope

Seth Meyers at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner (video)

Posted in Comedy, News, Videos on May 1st, 2011 by Hyphen

Following up on Obama’s jokes at the Correspondents’ Dinner, Seth Meyers took the podium and doled out ether left and right.

“Rick Sanchez, you are gone…and forgotten.”

Of course, the highlight is seeing Donald Trump and Bill O’Reilly sulk in their seats, completely unable to take any sort of self deprecating humor whatsoever. Just laugh, idiots. God forbid you show one sliver of a likeable human characteristic.

Nas & Damian Marley ft. Dennis Brown – Land Of Promise (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on April 10th, 2011 by Hyphen

I said this would be an incredible album before it dropped…then watched as many people overlooked it on their year end wrap up lists…and now we continue to see dope visuals drop for the Distant Relatives project.Â I’m convinced that when people look back on it years later, they’ll finally give it the respect it deserves.

Bambu – Something (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on April 10th, 2011 by Hyphen

Damn, can’t front…this was a tough video to watch.Â Bambu’s remake of Adele’s incredible “Someone Like You” record takes a strong look at domestic abuse, particularly that emanating from the hip-hop community, and the visuals pull no punches.

As someone who can’t fathom even arguing with a significant other, I don’t understand how anyone can let a situation get to that point.Â At the same time, I realize that I’ve lived a lucky life and every aspect of the nature/nurture of my upbringing has been fairly privileged.Â For those who haven’t been as lucky, I hope nothing in your life ever drives you to this type of violence.Â If it happened in your family, break the cycle.
