GNR | $125.00, and for what?

Comedian and prank call expert Roy Wood Jr. gets it in with a unhappy newlywed. This dude is funny as hell. GNR.

Channel Surfin' | ABDC Season 4

While SYTYCD finishes up through July, MTV's America's Best Dance Crew will consume most of my August starting the 9th. The trailer below showcases how the West has dominated the competition for the last three seasons. Maybe that will change this season.

Hands down my favorite moment from all seasons. While SuperCrew was dope, Fanny Pak should have won.

'04 | I can't live my, I-I can't live my

Woke up this morning to the news that my cousin - who would have graduated from high school last month - will serve six for dealing cocaine. He faced up to 60, which is a definite blessing that I hope he realizes. This is the closest I've come to prison in my life. We always hear or read the news of another brother whose caught a case. We momentarily feel for him from a far, but are still removed from the situation - it's not our problem. But the truth is it is our problem. And now the problem has a face and a name that will penetrate my thoughts and prayers for the next six years. This is dedicated to him and all our brothers and sisters caught up in the system. Whether you feel you're there justly or not, there's always a choice. You always have a choice.

New New | "Best I Ever Had," Drake video

After all the speculation here is the video for Drake's single off the mixtape So Far Gone. Look @ that Dream Team. Thanks to TSS.

New New | "Down," Cheri Dennis

Remember the bubbly track Diddy used to whip his misfits Danity Kane into shape during season one. It later became the bubbly single from the underrated Cheri Dennis, who was suppose to blow up for Bad Boy. But since he shafted her promotion for MTB and the hot mess that was Press Play, Dennis and her second single were mere memories once her album dropped at least a year later. Spotted this lovely track over @ HHPRnB Stop. Hopefully wit DK dismantled Dennis can get another shot and the recognition she deserves. Although Trainwreck to Paris is coming to a speaker near you whether you want it to or not.

SOS | Boy you make me float

Been a while since I posted a Song of Summer. Chose this after popping the disc in last night after work. Coldest summer.

8709 Special | Check my fresh

This summer I've been interning with Tonic.com, an online publication that specializes in good news. They cover any and all things that are healthy for the mind, body and soul. Stories to enlighten and inform of the good that goes around us that we may not know about. Check my latest story as well as others.

New New | "Champion," Ace Hood video

Ms. Sullivan is the only reason this is even here. Girl could sing life into a race track. And isn't that the same apartment building from his previous wack. Shout to Nah Right. Oh yeah it also features Rick Ross.

Channel Surfin' | Project Runway

I''m not a fashion guru and couldn't tell a Dolce from a Gabbana, but I like looking at expensive clothes and the drama they can enduce on national televison. That is why I'm excited about the return of Project Runway. It's been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since the sista Kara should have one the first season. And although last season's winner wore on my nerves, I'm geeked to see what Heidi, Tim, and the rest of the gain have discovered in new aspiring designers.

411 | 'Truly, truly miraclous'

That is how a member of the rescue team handling the recent Yemenia Airways tragedy described the lone survivor's condition. Reports so far presume that 152 perished as the A310 Airbus went down in the Indian Ocean yesterday. A thirteen-year-old girl has been the only survivor. Found surrounded by debris and bodies along the coast, she's suffered only minor injuries. To think last week we grieved the lives of two extraordinary individuals. And this week, amidst the mourning, we can celebrate the life that is spared in this situation. Everything happens for a reason, and God clearly has an agenda for this young woman's life. My heart and prayers go out to the lives this incident has touched.

'97 | Bad Bad Bad Bad Boy

With the recent return of Ma$e on Drake's single, I am reminded of one of his biggest hits from Harlem World. Love me some Kool and the Gang as well.

411 | Vibe Magazine Closing Shop

The recession has murdered another urban magazine, this time around the mega influential Vibe. Beginning in 1993 Vibe was the vision of Mr. Quincy Jones and helped usher in the 90s hip-hop & R&B scene. The magazine had just celebrated its 15th Anniversary last year. My dream job has been deferred. Spotted @ TSS

LIVE | Dream on, dream away

One of my favorite tracks from the NJS Color Me Badd. They're whole identity was somewhat ahead of their time.

LOL | "Skank Robbers"

The funniest moment of the BET Awards. Shout to my blog brother Julianno @ J 24/7.

New New | "She Ain't Got," LeToya Video

I'm really feeling the track, though I like the recently released remix version a lil better. Can't wait for Lady Love. Look out B.
