Talib Kweli Speaks With John Forte On His Coming Up, The Fugees, His Cocaine Arrest, His Release, And Life Now (Video)
February 21, 2020
Man! What a great interview!!
Shout to Kweli’s people for the time indexing for this episode. I am a STAN for John Forte from waaaay back… like when I did not know his name… when he SNAPPED on the Fugees’ joint “Cowboy”… and we called him ‘The 7th Emcee’ because he never did not give his name at any point of giving us the most FIRE SHUTDOWN BARZ on one of the most FIRE songs… EVER #WhenPandemoniumStrikes
Buuuuut starting at 52:43 though…
John touches on “I, John” — the album he recorded at a time when he was aware of his pending prison sentence. He also speaks to his relationship with singer/song writer Carly Simon, who fought hard, advocating for his early release. Her efforts eventually proving to be successful, with an executive order of clemency from President Bush.
Yes. I wanna know how in the holey holy f**k did rapper John Forte get a President… President Bush… to let him out early??

Technology: Industrial Robot Vs. Sword Master (Video)
February 21, 2020
So. One step away from autonomous killer robot. We are just gonna hand The Terminator’s great-great-grandpa a sword and hope he doesn’t kill the human opponent on some ‘are you not entertained’ ish??
Yaskawa Electric Corporation conveys to the world the “manufacturing spirit” inherited continuously in itself to mark its 100th anniversary of foundation.
In “YASKAWA BUSHIDO PROJECT”, we reproduced Machii’s swordplay with MOTOMAN-MH24, while challenging the industrial robot’s performance limitations by integrating “legerity”, “accuracy” and “agility” at a high level. Machii retains many world records like “cutting a 6mm BB bullet”, and his swordplay has a reputation of theurgist. In this project, we also tried to express the courtesy and considerateness that Bushido has cherished.
– [Yaskawa Electric] e-mechanical site
Oh. So the man vs robot is not a head up thing, it’s more like a I-can-do-IT-can-do-too demonstration situation. Cool. But, um, anybody notice that the machine is the one NOT sweating at the end? Just saying. Dope presentation. But just saying… to our future sword-swing techno-overlords… We cool. HA!
(Consider that this vid is almost 5 years old. Imagine what the robo-sword game is like now!)

Drink Champs: Steve Rifkind (Video)
February 20, 2020
Holy sh!t… The p*ssy there was ridiculous… I mean it was just ridiculous… I think I really wanna be in this record business!
Wow. Is N.O.R.E. gassing this dude? More so than the usual way he does during guest introductions… maybe. Definition of ‘C.E.O.’ (debatable, he might say) and Inventor of the ‘Street Team’ (since 1981, not up for debate, don’t come for him): It’s Steve Rifkind.
N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN are The Drink Champs. On today’s episode The Champs chop it up with legendary Record Executive Steve Rifkind. Best known for being the founder and chairman of Loud Records and of SRC Records. Rifkind signed artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Three 6 Mafia and more!
Steve is the inventor of the “Street Team†and in the 90’s / early 2000’s his methods and strategies helped revolutionize the way artists campaigns were marketed and promoted. Steve shares great stories about working with the legendary Quincy Jones and Jimmy Iovine.
As Johnathan Rifkind and Randy Ackerjoin the conversation, Steve Rifkind shares historic stories about legends such as Big Pun, ODB and Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Steve announces that DMX is working on a new album and the 25th Anniversary concert celebrating Loud Records; which was held at the Radio City Music Hall featuring legendary Loud Records artists.
Lots of great stories and valuable gems that you don’t want to miss.

Looking Back To The 1960s To See How They Thought “The Home Of 1999” Would Look (Video)
February 19, 2020
Dayum! That computer was a hardcore teacher… telling the kid, “You FLUNK” though. Wow. Hahaaa!
Interesting looking at how we look at the future from the soon-to-be-past we reference as the present. Like, look at this forward-looking History Channel Flashback clip.
In 1967, Philco-Ford produced a short film exploring what the “Home of the Future” might look like. We re-examine this film to see what they got right about the future – and what was wrong with the past.
– HISTORY
We always look at the future through a lens formed in the present though… For instance, consider the archetypal roles on display here: father is still the money-maker, while mother is still the home-maker (and lunch-maker… Ha!).

Whether you pay to see me win, or pay to see me lose, you’re gonna pay.
Facts. And they do pay. Three quarters of a BILLION (and counting) says so.

Bringing ’em all the smoke!
On today’s episode The Champs chop it up with legendary boxing champion Floyd Mayweather. The only boxer in the history of the sport with a record of 50-0, Floyd sits down with The Champs and talks about his boxing history and much more!
Stories of his battles with Connor McGregor, Manny Pacquiao, Ricky Hatton, Oscar De La Hoya, Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, just to name a few, Money Mayweather beat them all! As he breaks down his battles inside the ring Floyd also talks about his battles outside the ropes.
In this episode Floyd opens up on how influential his Father has been to his career and how he evolved from “Pretty Boy†Floyd to “Money†Mayweather.
As we play another game of “Quick Time with Slime,†Floyd clears up rumors about T.I. and his relationship with 50 Cent. Money Mayweather gives us that mogul talk, discussing his business ventures with HBO and Showtime, and creating the ever popular shows “24/7†and “All Accessâ€, respectively.
