DJ Khaled – “Higher” feat. Nipsey Hussle x John Legend (Video)

DJ Khaled. John Legend. Nipsey Hussle…Rest In Paradise. POWERFUL visuals indeed. You might find a tear or two streaming for no reason. But we all know the reason. If only we knew this was the last time we’d actually “see” you, Nip.

Damn.

The music will keep taking us “Higher” though. And The Marathon Continues!

Gary Vaynerchuk Talks To John Legend About Making Big Songs, Staying Humble And More (Video)

Gary Vaynerchuk, the serial entrepreneur and CEO/Founder of VaynerMedia, talks to the world-renown “All Of Me” singer (and lucky hubby to the HOTTIE Chrissy Teigen – see how HOT here). They speak on the paradigm shift in the music industry – from physical to digital, from middlemen-driven to artist-driven – John’s career-before-music job at Boston Consulting Group. In fact, they mention that they taped this interview in the building where BCG is currently headquartered!

Hear the story John about how John left the corporate world; choosing crooning over consulting. That feels RISKY, but freeing right?

(Had to break those ‘gold handcuffs’… Wow, that’s a powerful term!)

So much other good stuff in this episode of #AskGaryVee too. Watch!

Ali: The Mission (Mini-Documentary)

Even before The Champ’s passing, you’ve probably heard about his nobility and heroism outside the ring. Given that, this 30-For-30 documentary short’s content may not shock you; but the story should warm your heart and make you miss him a little bit more.

Ambassador Ali. Fighting Parkinson’s all while winning over folks worldwide including Saddam Hussein; which was key. You’ll see why when you watch.

(Narrated by John Legend.)

Kanye West Performing “Gold Digger” Back In 2003 (Video)

Yeezus H. West! Back before Ye went beast mode in the game, he was doing conference gigs just like a lot of cats… only they did not likely have John Legend on the keys. Ha!

The beat is waaaay different, less-evolved than what you’d recognize as “Gold Digger” but listen to the lyrics and there is no doubt. Watch some throwback Kanye goodness.

Sure, they teamed up musically on that “Selma” movie soundtrack single “Glory”… but now… it’s competition! John Legend versus Common. Yeah, LIP SYNC BATTLE! Spike TV might have something here, at least for now. With A-listers like these miming out performances that channel the likes of Lionel Richie and MC Hammer, whoever wins, everyone wins! Check ’em out above.

(Lionel doing backspins??? No way!)

And the Thursday Night Smackdown that went down between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jimmy Fallon… Got that hilarity cued up after the jump for you!

John Legend – “Glory” feat. Common (Video)

Freedom is a religion to us… When it go down, woman and man up!
Common

There have certainly been times when the music made the movie. Now, while “Selma” has a powerful enough historical civil rights story to tell in itself, a powerful John Legend song (featuring Common) can only enhance the experience. Watch the video. It is not a trailer, but the visuals may make you want to see this in theaters all the more.

Inmates and Prison Officials Agree: “The House I Live In” Documentary Exposes The Failures of The U.S. War On Drugs Policy (Video)

HEADLINE: Inmates and Prison Guards AGREE on Failures of the Drug War!

Above is a behind-the-scenes teaser for a screening for Eugene Jarecki’s documentary “The House I Live In.” The venue: Joseph Harp Correctional Center (Lexington, Oklahoma, USA). Making a documentary at a jail… sure. But viewing it there, that’s different. But you know drug enforcement policy is more than a bit *messed* up if the C.O.’s and the prisoners can agree that it is!

See clips from the film (executive producers: Brad Pitt, John Legend, Russell Simmons and Danny Glover) after the jump. VERY interesting…

R&B: John Legend – “Who Do We Think We Are?” feat. Rick Ross (Video)

Remember when Heavy D & the Boyz sampled Jean Knight’s “Mr. Big Stuff” (for their own song with that title)? Well, here’s a new John Legend joint – “Who Do We Think We Are” (featuring Rick Ross) – that went back to that well. Nice. The single is  is out on iTunes now. The full-length, “Love in the Future,” is due out June 25, 2013. Check out what John has to say about it:

‘The song is about living life to the fullest, About not being afraid to be a risk-taker and to pursue your dreams. But it’s also about enjoying and luxuriating in your pursuits. So in some ways we made a fantasy video that shows some reveling… a little sex. It’s a gorgeous video that I think people will like.’

John Legend to Billboard Magazine

Snoop Dogg – ‘Eyez Closed’ feat. Kanye West & John Legend


When this song leaked on the web back in January with only Kanye & John Legend it became of my favorites that I played over & over again. I was wondering why Kanye didn’t include ‘Eyes Closed’ on his most recent MBDTF album because I felt like it would have been a waste of a great song. Well it seems like Snoop caught wind of the joint & holla’d at Kanye about it or it could have been Snoop’s song to begin with for his Doggumentary album due on March 29th. This joint is a hit in my opinion….I can see it with my eyes closed.
