MP3: Skillz – 2010 Rap Up by Different Kitchen
So how does this one stack up against previous efforts? It’s cool to me but equating what wikileaks does with ‘snitching’ was kinda wack. The ‘No Snitching’ ethos is the single worse thing to happen to the hood since the CIA introduced crack in the 80’s.
On my word, I never even heard of half of these cats! Gives me hope that maybe I’m not on the internet as much as I fear I am….

If you’re a sports head, you already been seen this but it’s so funny I had to post it anyway…..
Official NBA video version after the jump but it’s funnier with the slow-mo and music added!

I missed this one when it was sent to me at the end of October right before the midterm elections but it was too funny not to post still anyway even if it’s not quite as timely any more. Here’s Jasiri X on the inspiration behind the video and song:
“The inspiration for this song came while attending Ignite 2010, a conference hosted by VIBE and The League of Young Voters in Atlanta on the eve of the BET Hip-Hop Awards. The purpose of the event was to bring together Bloggers, Artists and Community Activists to see what could be done to positively impact the mid term elections.
Being in the same room with so many creative and passionate people caused me to contemplate what type of video we could do to encourage people to take part. As usual the antics of the Tea Party/Republican candidates made it almost too easy to make fun of, and because they have so many high profile, although comical women candidates, we thought “Republican Woman” would definitely get the point across.
As soon as I touched down from the ATL, I called Cynik Lethal to flip the track, he called in Lindsay Pavlick to play Ms. Palin and Paradise the Architech put it all together. Special thanks goes out to Shadow/Ava Lounge and the Waffle Shop for allowing us to film and Ya Momz House Studio where we recorded the song.”
