‘Mayan Doomsday 2012’…NASA Knew It Wouldn’t Happen (Video)
December 27, 2012
C’mon… you’ve been watching “The Walking Dead” on AMC… you peeped the movie trailers for “World War Z” and “After Earth”… You cannot tell me that along with those visions of sugarplums dancing in your head… you hadn’t thought about what might happen on 12/21/2012 (the day the world was supposed to end).
Okay, you don’t have to admit it. After all, you have the luxury of being here today saying “I knew it all along.” NASA’s and other scientists took a stand on this craziness before the so-called Doomsday date arrived.
‘…there was never evidence that the Maya culture predicted the end of the world on 12/21/12 . In fact, there are Mayan texts that refer to time periods beyond 2012.’
– Anthological archeologist Sonja Schwake
NASA made a video about it. Wanna see it? Click above.

Black Milk – Demo Beats 2012
December 7, 2012
Detroit producer & emcee Black Milk took to his soundcloud page to release some of the beats he’s cooked up for 2012 for his fans’ audio consumption. It’s about time we heard something from Black Milk who seemed to be rather quiet for most of the year. I’m still hoping he drops an official song & video for that ‘Don Cornelius’ joint he teased us with a while back. After listening sitting here listening to these instrumental demo joints, the track that catches my attention the most occurs around the 2:50 mark. That’s that gritty Detroit hip hop most of us fiend for. Black Milk has to stop disappearing like this. I’d like to see Black Milk put out more videos from past albums while in between projects to hold fans over until the new stuff is done. Until he does I guess these demo instrumentals should suffice for how.

Eve Speaks On Moving On – Interracial Dating, New Music, Moving To London & More (Video)
December 5, 2012
Queen of Philly Eve is back on the scene (evidenced by a nice BET Cypher appearance) doing her thing. She stops through Hot 97 in NYC and chats with personality Angie Martinez on a range of topics… and she ducks NOTHING. Her thing with Stevie J… she was young. Her new home and new man, both European… and she loves them both. New album… it’s on the way (finally). This is good talk… real. Watch. Bonus: Got that Ruff Ryder BET Cypher featuring Eve for you after the jump!

Will Ferrell Will Do Anything To Get You To Vote For President Obama (Video)
November 5, 2012
Actor & comedian Will Ferrell never ceases to get more than a few laughs out of me even when dealing with situations as serious as this very close 2012 Presidential Election. Clearly President Barack Obama is the best candidate with a shot to win at this time in my opinion. It’s apparent that Will Ferrell feels the same & wants to make sure you laugh your ass to the polls on November 6th & re-elect the President for a 2nd term.

July 12, 2012
Statik Selektah and Termanology (moving together as 1982) dropped “2012” on May 22, 2012. Though the Massachusetts duo 1982 is a relatively new phenom on the Hip-Hop scene, we got ’em locked. Tracked a major blip on our scope days after they dropped the “2012” full-length release (click here see a recent video post for “Too Long”). Now, peep this track off “2012” entitled “Lights Down” (featuring Big K.R.I.T.).

Comedy: Butt Naked Man Interrupts London Olympics Torch Relay (Video)
July 11, 2012
A Butt Naked streaker sparked a police chase in the UK during the London Olympic Torch relay yesterday. The naked man appeared from the lines of people carrying a fake torch & proceeded to run in front of the Olympic flame runner with ‘Free Frank Ocean CDs’ ‘Free Tibet’ scrawled on his back before he was tackled by cops and covered in a blanket. It’s starting to become an very interesting Olympics in the UK indeed. **Music Please**

Courtney John – ‘Gonna Be Alright’ (Video)
June 25, 2012
Now it is summer 2012 and THIS is very good visual of MY JAMAICA with all the sentiments of Trust, Love and Community. The lyrics are well put together and that audio sample… or that loop…. NOPE the original production is using LIVE MUSICIANS… that’s what Reggae is as you can see at the very end! Courtney John has been a professional and worked with many international artists but still lives & works on the island. And yes we’ll hear this song on the latest Cooyah Island Vibes Mix CD.

Jo Mersa – “Bad So” (Video)
June 12, 2012
I really support this new generation of artists that bring forward the ‘RAW’ style of djing (toasting). Jo Mersa is from the Marley line of artists, so while on the road touring he has picked up that suave persona that is sure to sell units. This track is also featured on the upcoming CY Evolution Dancehall Series #5…. BAMM!!
