I've been sidelined from making videos by getting a tooth pulled, and should be back on it this week. but in the meantime here's a newly released documentary about hip-hop's viral "I deed it" sensation from a few years ago, Eli Porter. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I look forward to seeing what happens when you explore the human story behind this type of internet meme. I appear in the film briefly, in my capacity as expert in the field of Random Internet Stuff.
Last night General Steele from Smif-n-Wessun came through the radio show to speak his mind about the NYPD incident at last week's release party for the group's "Monumental" album. He also graced us with a freestyle along with their newest crew member VVS Verbal (who was dope). See video of the performance above, and audio of the interview below. You can go here for more info on the incident, and their ongoing legal actions and protests against it.
