Final Outlaw drops an acapella indictment at NY's longest running open mic night, End of The Weak
Ice Cube gives the still-bearded and writerless Conan O'Brien a Robert Mckee breakdown of the romantic comedy genre, and lobbies for a shot at the Mr T role in John Singleton's rumored A-Team movie. Ice Cube as BA Baracus..
How would you cast the rest of the hip-hop A-Team? I'd go with Rza as the boss/mastermind Hannibal, Lil Wayne as "Howling Mad" Murdock, and I dunno maybe Cam'ron as the smooth talking con artist "Faceman." Who would you guys pick?
Yesterday I went to the Kara Walker exhibit at the Whitney, and found the actor who plays Chris Partlow on "The Wire" there browsing the work. Having those two worlds intersect was so surreal and so perfect, I decided to commemorate by blending some of Walker's images with The Wire's theme song. (Parts of the video come from here.)
I'm still processing the exhibit and what I take from it, how her work and the reaction it generates can be related to hip-hop.. perhaps to be discussed in a future video. Make sure to catch if you;re in NY though, it ends Feb. 3rd and a youtube doesn't do her imagery justice at all.
Katie Holmes on David Letterman, trading baby stories with Letterman among other things.. Katie Holmes' baby actually sleeps until 9AM very morning? That kid's really got his thetans in check! (also, katie holmes tells how kanye west gets her through the day. )
Nice new video from Saul Williams and Trent Reznor's "Niggy Tardust" project, for their cover of "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
The new track from Evidence's .latest solo album, directed by Nicholaus Goossen with beats by The Alchemist.
