Award winning documentary following hip-hop artist Che "Rhymefest" Smith - co-writer of the 2015 Oscar winning song "Glory" from the motion picture 'Selma' and 2005 Grammy winner for the song "Jesus Walks" with Kanye West - as he moves into his childhood home on Chicago's South Side and hesitantly sets out to reconnect with his estranged father, the man who abandoned him over twenty years ago.

I think this might be good. Rhymefest was doing all the radio/internet interview rounds awhile back when that "chiraq" movie was coming out. He made a lot of good points about spike lee being a d*ckhead. If you don't know rhymefest, the short of it is that he's a rapper, he's a smart motherf**ker, and he's been with kanye from the very beginning* though he was/is? signed outside of g.o.o.d music. I once saw or read a good story about his friends wanting to beat up a teenage kanye the first time they met him because the teenage kanye was soft and an arrogant asshole. It's been a long time but kanye never get's his credit for how he blew up and tried to put on for every chicago artist you could think of, I mean he had a whole chicago rap industry signed to g.o.o.d music itself. I read a piece about this documentary before showtime got involved and I remember being really intrigued and captivated but it had no distribution so I resigned myself to never seeing it. I might be a little bit of a defeatist.

* He even wrote on a bunch of kanye songs throughout his career. It looks like all that is over with though. On the other hand I guess you can never tell, buddies will be buddies right?

from Pop vs Jock @ PopMontreal 2012

I have this friend that plays in a pickup basketball league with Win Butler from Arcade Fire. This isn't some country club sh*t either, this is some everyone give your five bucks to Marc-Andre who rented the gym type of deal. My friend isn't a music fan, so while was he telling me about all this, he couldn't remember Win's name. He just kept referring to him as "this musician that goes hard in the post"

This clip is from Win Butler's semi-annual Pop vs. Jock basketball game at the 2012 Pop Montreal Festival. The POP team usually consists of Win alongside his musician friends (Nikolai Fraiture from The Strokes, Justin Vernon from Bon Iver) and ex-ballers like Luke Bonner, Brian Scalabrine, and Matt Bonner, while the opposition are usually players from Montreal's University basketball teams. Here we see the POP team down 3 with 17.6 seconds left in the 4th. Fresh off a timeout, team POP runs an effective inbounding play anchored by Win. I won't spoil the finish but check the fundamentals on this guy as he cuts across the paint, leading with his long-ass arms. On a side note, I think that the political statement homie made during his 2016 celebrity game MVP acceptance speech was great. Too bad they didn't let him finish, I have a feeling he was going to say "Everybody's entitled to free healthcare. That way when I break your nose backing you down in the paint, you won't have to mortgage your mom's house hoe. F**k Kobe, and tell Amber Rose to come holler at me."

In all honesty my dilla knowledge kind of ends around the time he stopped being jaydee. Fortunately no dilla knowledge is necessary for the enjoyment of this clip. Just an appreciation for rap history and an appreciation for motherf**kers telling stories. I would like to thank whoever edited this video for blacking out what sounds like a pretty bleak situation in the background.

Dissertation: A KanYe West Story from Dissertation on Vimeo.

This is enjoyable, just a little something something on kanye. For the video they spell it "kanYe" with a capital "y". Is that a thing? I've never seen it done that way and frankly I don't really dig it. Unless that's how you actually spell it of course, in which case, I can't take back that you know I don't like it but forget it, it's none of my business. Before you watch this video make sure you keep in mind that though it's fun listening to what music journalists have to say about kanye, don't take anything nerds say about rap seriously. They don't know how to feel music. They just listen and think about it through a nerd prism and get all the ideas wrong. Look at how happy they are when they're talking about kanye though.

Pioneers of Atlanta's music movement and the producers of phenomenal hits this is Organized Noize.

I can't wait to see this right here, organized Noize mean a lot to a motherf**ker like me. They were probably the first time I'd heard something in rap that felt new. Now when you look back it's not just the amount of classics they've created but the variety too. I mean, when curtis mayfield lay dying in a hospital bed, it's organized noize that he called to make his last album. If that doesn't say it all then you're f**king wildin'.

Where has all the white NBA players gone

February 14th, 2016 will go down in the record books as the first time in NBA history there will be no white players on either of the all star teams. With that in mind, I present to you this informative? news piece called "Where has all the white NBA players gone?"

The best way to screen this is with the sound off while listening to "Fear of a Black Planet". Let Chuck D scream at you while you watch Jerry West's nub of a penis retract into his scrotum as he suggests that the zone defense was brought into the league to allow white players to defend more competitively. This slightly confederate expose also makes a clear distinction between white European players and white American players. Mark Price had no comment as to whether or not they smell any different.

Ever wondered what a young Martin Scorcese would sound like describing a Taco Bell Sriracha Chicken Slider? After watching a full two hours of this kid's channel I can say that Patreon, host of “Running On Empty - Fooood Review”, is hands down the most entertaining food reviewer on Youtube. Armed with his signature "going in" catchphrase and a suit that's slightly too big, watching Patreon ingest and review fast food products is the funniest thing I've seen this year thus far. Seriously, whether he knows it or not, I have no idea, this kid's performances are brilliant, Andy Kauffman-esque even. He drops too many gems to mention. By my estimation there's one every thirty seconds or so. To sweeten the pot, a portion of the money he's raised from his internet fan-base, has gone towards achieving his goal of broadcasting his reviews on shortwave radio, "for the world to hear".

*Here's a special encore video of Patreon “tearing KFC a new one”. From his car. In the middle of the night.

Everyone's favorite bon vivant idiot savant is going to go ahead and direct/star in the zola story. You might remember the "zola's story", it swept through twitter like a motherf**king brush fire sometime in the recent past? If you allow me to summarize for time, the one lady meets this other lady and they go down to florida with two fellas and everyone has a great time. Great time meaning tricks are turned, guns are shot, and boyfriend's are cuckolded. Who else but franco could make a film about the most popular thing we all forgot about? I was just trying to figure out if he's going to play the african dude or the stripper chick. Franco's got the world by the f**king balls man, I'll tell you that. He's the kind of guy that won't understand any of your jokes but he'll laugh at them while secretly thinking they make no sense. At one point the world thought this fella was a serious actor. Hahahahaha. He definitely still thinks he's a serious actor. That's why I like him though, that despite-all-evidence-blind-confidence. I always had to work on something until I felt I was capable enough in it before I could find that glow, this dude pops out of his hyperbaric oxygen chamber just stunting. 

I've never really been into food "shows" but bronson is a reliably engaging personality and my lady likes these things. I realized I'm a victim of the times though when I saw bronson's name just now and thought "damn this dude fell off"... you know what I mean? just because I hadn't seen his face in around three months he's fallen off, like you've cooled off bro, get your f**king equipment and get out of here. Hahahaha. I haven't watched this one yet but I can tell you from the thumbnail bronson goes to the philippines* and eats a sandwich with mangoes and pork.

* I just saw the title of the video. The location is jamaica. The meal might still be a sandwich with mangoes and pork though. No telling.
