[video] Renaldo Lapuz "We're Brothers Forever.

Someone sign this guy! I was on the PC last night and Idol was on, and I didn't pay attention at first, but this just went on for so long, I had to get up and watch this. It was stuck in my head all night...

I had a weird dream about broken English speaking pimps...



Paula had me cracking up with her dancing.

New Spit: FurSun

You know me, I'm always trying to shine light on the next cat, or that new cat. This dude goes by the name of FurSun, and is someone I've followed for a bit. He graduated from high school a few years ago, but even then he was thick into the rhyming and producing. Niggas wanna talk about Soulja Boy, but his rhymes and beats sound like a young nigga who doesn't know what he's doing. FurSun is on his grind with his, and it shows. He comes with a smooth flow, and has a range of bangers on the production side of things. He sent me a few cuts, and I was thoroughly impressed. If you hit his MySpace page, you can hear a gang of them ("Don't Bring Me Down" is an instant favorite, just for the catchiness of it). I love the fact that he's hungry, but is also grounded, showing love to his spot geographically ("East Coastin'") and I know, personally, that he's all about his family.

Give the young playa a chance. You WILL be impressed.

DivaSpeakTV: Episode 1

Amanda Diva is BACK. She's been gettin' her blog on for a minute, and it looks like she has taken those webisodes to the next level. She's also straightened her hair, which is a VERY good look. I was impressed by how deep they went with this; homegirl has her segments and is speaking on a lot. It's like a visual podcast. Check these out:

Part 1


Part 2

Amanda is that chick. Grab her Love Experience EP via iTunes NOW!

Martina + Danger Mouse = "Valentine"

Sorry, today is NOT "rediscover Trip-Hop" Day, but I saw this post on Missing Toof and had to inform my Trip-Hop bredren and sistren:

Martina Topley-Bird, who gained fame from her work on Tricky's early albums, is BACK with a new album entitled The Blue God, and this track, "Valentine", is produced by Danger Mouse (who produced the entire LP, from what I'm reading); this track has a smooth, slow feel, ala Portishead or that sound. Not sure how long that MP3 link will be up, but dig this while it lasts!

[video] Morcheeba "Enjoy The Ride"

I had no idea Morcheeba was still around; I was big on their first disc, back when all I listened to was Wu-Tang and Trip-Hop (side note: Tricky's Hell EP with the Gravediggaz is a thing of beauty). Anyways, here's the video for their new single, "Enjoy The Ride", from their forthcoming album, Dive Deep (Feb. 4th for digital release, while the physical release is on the 19th of Feb.):

Too Good For Earth

I did it last year, and I'm doing it again. It has been too long, Miss Aaliyah. Happy birthday, Aaliyah. I won't dwell on this very long. Just know I have Jay-Z's "Miss You (Remix)" rollin' right now. R&B sure as hell hasn't been the same.

Stay up, angel. And for those who were looking for MP3s of some of her best, hit this link; I re-upped a bunch of cuts to zShare. Your welcome.

[video] James Lewis "Go Down, Moses" American Idol audition

This nigga. This is from the premiere of American Idol, Season 7. This nigga is named James Lewis: I had to pull the WTF card early on his ass when I saw him getting into his tour guide costume (which consisted of a frilly Prince shirt and a satin vest). OK, nigga, back in the day, we weren't rockin' those wears. If we did, they were torn, and dirty, and massa felt bad for us (shouts to Wifey for hitting pause on the DVR, b/c she KNEW I had a comment upon seeing this nigga with that shirt on). In the end, it didn't matter, because, well, check out his audition:



Nigga. Nigga, nigga, nigga nigga! No. How do you turn into a deaf mute while singing? What part of the game is that? And then he had the audacity to, after getting laughed at, trying to sing again!? Best/worst audition so far!

You guys watching these auditions? Which was your favorite?

[video] Diane Keaton's Fucking Personality

On the 15th of Jan., Diane Keaton was being interviewed by Diane Sawyer, and ended up dropping the dreaded "f-bomb":



No word on what, if anything, the FCC is going to do about this, but it looks unlikely that ABC or Good Morning America will suffer.
