Happy Belated Birthday To The Greatest Ever

Yesterday, Pete Rosenberg & Cipha Sounds of Hot 97 played wall to wall classic DJ Premier tracks in honor of his 47th birthday.  There really isn't much to say, but enjoy and appreciate a legend while he is still with us!

Jay Smooth - Don't Freak Out About the White Babies

Jay Smooth helps America adjust to the news that for the first time in history, a majority of American babies born in the last year were "minorities".

Jay Smooth on the Trayvon Martin Case

His silence was deafening at the height of the Trayvon Martin coverage, but the voice I respect most has finally given his thoughts on the tragedy.

 

Mass Appeal & DJ Premier On Mass Appeal

For a while this was my favorite magazine. I would stay in Barnes & Noble to see if it had dropped. I'm glad they're back. I hope they can stick around in some capacity.  Oh by the way, just the greatest producer of all time talking about one of the greatest songs of all time that inspired said magazine.

Jay Smooth On Discussing Race

Just Listen: WTF with Marc Maron Featuring Chris Rock

Rock hits on a ton of great topics with Maron:

• How he was almost a rapper . . .
• His relationship with Eddie Murphy.
• Saturday Night Live's treatment of Black performers.
• Why Dave Chappelle is America's the last great comedian.
• Why cable television killed the well-rounded comic.
• How he prepares for his hour specials & tours.
• His theory on Barack Obama's first term.

Jay Smooth On LeBron James & Me On Both Of Them

Jay Smooth just maybe my favorite person that I have never actually met or spoken to.  Scratch that, he is my favorite person that I have never met or spoken to.  He routinely manages to express my feelings better than me.  The following video discusses the exact same thought that I had the moment I heard LeBron's woefully reckless post-game press conference after losing the NBA Finals.

I'm glad to see him putting out more videos in the last few weeks. His voice is badly needed.

The Wonder Year (Movie Trailer)

When can I finally see the movie? I can't wait!

Me & Jay Smooth (@jsmooth995) On Chris Brown

This the epitome of why I love Jay Smooth. He often seems to say exactly what I'm feeling in a much more eloquent way. In this three minute video he expressed the EXACT feelings that I had during a Twitter discussion the morning of the incident in question with a couple of friends. I believed that Chris really hadn't paid much of a price while others didn't think the questions were fair to ask after two years. The fact that he knew the questions were coming make his conduct all the more bizarre. Enough of me, let's hear what Jay had to say:
