Yasiin Bey

Mos Def Yasiin Bey is styling over jazz pianist, Robert Glasper’s keys on Black Radio.  This goes kind of hard.  Plus who doesn’t love the Mos Def yodel? Ooohooooo-oh!

Saw this over at Mostly Junkfood

“Birthday Cake” Rihanna feat Chris Brown

Okay. So this happened.
Last year, Rihanna dropped the super average “Talk That Talk” record which no one really cared about. The stand-out track, Birthday Cake, did, however, leave people intrigued and this was an unfinished song that lasted all of 1 minute and some change.
Well it’s finished now…much to some people’s simultaneous delight and complete horror. The completed (or remixed) version features Chris Brown and it’s kind of dope. Whether or not it’s appropriate is a different story.

Take a listen below

“I’d let Chris Brown punch me in the face”

I recently saw this post on Buzzfeed  (which is where the above image comes from) and it detailed some of the most ridiculous tweets and statuses that appeared after Chris Brown took the stage at the Grammy’s.  They are all essentially women declaring that they would be willing to get Chris Browned in the face as long as he puts a few kisses there afterwards.  This has less to do with Chris Brown’s past actions and more to do with these chicks reactions to muscles and a pretty smile.

So because dude has dimples and some tatoos these girls will let him punch them… and in the face, no less!?  I’m assuming that the same wouldn’t apply to Flava Flav, Mickey Rourke or any other unfortunate mothertrucker who looks like he’s taken a shovel to the dome?  Well, I’m kind of cute too, does that mean they’ll allow me to bitch-slap some sense back into them?

I know they’re all jokes but domestic violence isn’t cool and seems an odd thing to joke about.  Remember, no amount of pretty is worth an ass whopping, y’all.  Although I know some ladies that would disagree…

Disclaimer: despite itself that song goes so hard.

Happy Valentines Day!

This is pretty much going to be my night:
