“RUNNIN’ by THE PHARCYDE with J. DILLA’s masterful production, frees my mind and takes me to a happy place. From the chorus to Slim Kid Tre’s harmonic lyrical freestyle in the middle of the song, you can literally get high off this hit without drinking or smoking anything. “RUNNIN” is the first single from The Pharcyde’s second album “Labcabincalifornia” in 1995. I wish this song was an hour long so I could just mellow out to it forever on repeat.

“A 90-second commercial for Beats shows off a new collaboration between Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar, and by the sound of it, you can expect a loud and energetic sound. The video also shows off the new Beats by Dre Studio headphones and the Beats Pill product. Check it out.”

Rihanna totally owns that whole 80′s rock Eurythmics vibe. The ‘What Now” video was released a couple weeks ago with already over 30 million youtube views. Regardless of her personal life, I feel that Rihanna deserved that ICON award she won recently at the AMA’s. Her artistry is very versatile as her sound transcends from reggae, to hip hop, to R&B, to rock and pop. Rather you’re a fan or not, you gotta give this girl some credit…music is in her blood and longevity is in her future,

LA TIMES – “Investigators are looking into whether speed played a role in the accident Saturday in Santa Clarita that left “The Fast and The Furious” actor Paul Walker dead.

The single-vehicle crash occurred about 3:30 p.m. in the 28300 block of Rye Canyon Loop. Deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and the Los Angeles County Fire Department arrived to find a vehicle engulfed in flames. Two people in the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, said Sheriff’s Deputy Kim Manatt. Few details about how the crash occurred were available.”

“Ye talks the “Bound 2″ video, the Yeezus tour, paparazzi and more. Charlamagne also confronts him about the perceived contradiction between his rants about being held down by corporate America while simultaneously courting them.” (NahRIght) I personally have to compliment Charlamagne Tha God for great questions.

Why in the world would they kill one of the most famous characters in animation history?? Brian Griffin made “Family Guy” great with his witty intellect and appeared as a central character in almost every episode.

Family Guy’s executive producer Steve Callaghan explained the decision to send Brian ‘on a trip to Belize’, telling E! Online: ‘This was an idea that got pitched in the writers’ room and it sort of caught fire, and we thought it could be a fun way to shake things up.

‘We started talking about what the next couple episodes could be and we got very excited about the way this change will affect the family dynamics and the characters.’

But rumor has it that the show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, is just simply tired of doing the show. ‘Part of me thinks that Family Guy should have already ended. I think seven seasons is about the right lifespan for a TV series,’ he told The Hollywood Reporter.

“Family Guy”, however, has millions upon millions of fans…ALL hoping that Brian’s ‘death’ is a joke. Check out the video of Brian’s final moments. It’s still hard to believe it has the end this way.

SNOOP, “As I look up at the sky
My mind starts trippin’, a tear drops my eye
My body temperature falls
I’m shakin’ and they breakin’ tryin’ to save tha Dogg
Pumpin’ on my chest and I’m screamin
I stop breathin’, damn I see demons
Dear God, I wonda can ya save me
I can’t die Boo-Boo’s bout to have my baby
I think it’s too late for prayin’, hold up
A voice spoke to me and it slowly started sayin
“Bring your lifestyle to me I’ll make it better”
How long will I live?
“Eternal life and forever”
And will I be, the G that I was?
“I’ll make your life better than you can imagine or even dreamed of
So relax your soul, let me take control
“Close your eyes my son”
My eyes are closed”

Actor Tristan Wilds aka MACK WILD, known for his role of Michael Lee on the critically-acclaimed HBO series “The Wire”, is now focusing on music. His first single, “Own It”, is a surefire hit from his upcoming album, “New York:Love Story”. Wilds is signed with Grammy Award-winning producer Salaam Remi’s (who’s worked with powerhouses like The Fugees to Amy Winehouse) ‘Louder Than Life’ label. This song is dope, one of a kind., a nice club song, and cool music to listen to. I love the beat too and I think Wilds is a very talented singer and actor.
