Unsung: Brand Nubian (Full Episode)
Man. Don’t let it go to your head… noooo.
Now, this is heady episode of ‘Unsung’ so expect a couple of damn-I-had-no-idea moments (pretty much standard for ‘Unsung’). Might bring back Golden Era sweet memories, but it wasn’t all sweet. Check out the Brand Nubian story above.
Lord Jamar Speaks Bling, Bootlegging, Black People Not F**king With Politics And More (Video)
Lord Jamar is a VladTV mainstay, known to get live for the camera. Now, in front of a live audience on camera, you think he’s gonna change up? Um… the answer is heeelllllll no! Dude starts this clip even keel but goes raw soon enough.
Earlier this year Lord Jamar sat down for a VladTV interview in front of a live audience and he remembered back to a time in rap when it wasn’t cool to wear big chains or be flashy. The Brand Nubian rapper explained that he stopped wearing jewelry because he didn’t want to promote drug culture, adding, “We wanted to be on some positive s***.”
Later, the conversation shifts to politics, as Lord Jamar shares his thoughts on why he believes Hillary Clinton was promised a presidency back when the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal hit. To hear more of what he had to say on the situation, including why he believes Trump is doing good whether he wins or loses, hit the above clip.
Consequence – “Killer” feat. Sadat X & Lord Jamar (Of Brand Nubian)
Consequence put down a track and called in Brand Nubian bros Sadat X and Lord Jamar to get his back for this “Killer” jawn. Hear the choral chant and tribal drumming driving the sound? Dope! Look for this one on Consequence’s forthcoming “Growing Up In New York” EP (due out June 2016).

Grand Puba – “UDK”
Yep, from Brand Nubian fame, it’s Grand Puba giving it to ya again! This “UDK” is a crumb off the “Black From The Future” plate (due out April 15, 2016). Albeit a very tasty crumb! Grand Puba will never stop serving his people that righteous flavor. Wait, check that.
The day my people wake up is the day I no longer have to make songs; and until that time comes, party on!

So revise that: Savor the flavor for now. Waaaake up (in Mister Señor Love Daddy’s voice in “Do The Right Thing”)!
