New Bilal video!!!

Now I havent watched it all the way through yet, but I thinks I like what I see...u?


Monday, November 1, 2010

And before I got to bed....some Bilal for my people..

FULL SCREEN
The Sounds of VTech / Bilal: Tainted Love

Ok so its not the ONLY reason I love "Real Talk with Bill Mahr"....

but you got to admit Zach Galifianakis lighting up the weed on live TV has got to be a top 5 moment lol


Every once and again I feel the spirit of Michael in Chris Brown..

I really saw it in this video. I swear he stuck his chin out quite a few times as a quiet shout out to MJ lol. Although the outfit toward the end of the video is definitely a VIOLATION lol....Watch to see what I mean


The Roots+Kerry Washington+Anthony Mackie+Black Panthers= A Laiyasworld type of movie!

When I hear of some great indie flicks out there I have to keep my folks in the loop! This time we are brought together on behalf of The Black Panthers and another side of their story. Check out the trailer and biggups to Black Thought for contributing his acting skills and The Roots for doing the score!
