N.W.A. – “Straight Outta Compton” (Movie Trailer) via @lisafordblog
For me, the jury is still out on how I feel about an upcoming N.W.A. movie. Some say that it's a story long overdue, but I feel that once they start making movies about famous rap figures, it diminishes my memory of the era. I don't know. This is just how I feel about it. F. Gary Gray is the director, so I'm sure the film is going to be hardcore and worth watching regardless. Anticipation is definite.

LOGIC – “Under Pressure” (Full Album Stream) #MusicMonday via @lisafordblog
For those of you who haven't already copped this album, take a listen to the full stream. There's not one song on "Under Pressure" I dont like. LOGIC is one of the sickest most underated artists right now!. I've been loving him for a long time, ever since the first "Young Sinatra" mixtape. Damn it's good to see one of my favorite artists starting to blow up. Hopefully he gets the shine he deserves.

THE WEEKND – “Earned It” (Fifty Shades Of Grey) Official Lyric Video #MusicMonday
Yes, this song is different (some say a little too commercial...oh well). It isn't vulgar. That is not a bad thing. That's what's wrong with many fans of artists in this generation, we don't allow our favorite artists experiment. This song is amazing in my opinion. The orchestral background and the REAL drums form a beautiful stage for Abel to sing over. Every song Abel (The Weeknd) releases doesn't have to be dark, cold-hearted, guilt ridden, low-life pussy anthems, no matter how good they are…

COMMON – “War” (Audio) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
One of the best songs Common created, "War", for some strange reason isn't featured on his latest album, "Nobody's Smiling"... which is why it was a must that I posted it on this blog. The production sounds like something wicked from a 60's or 70's horror flick laced with Common's diabolical lyricism. It's just an all around great record that zooms in on the crisis and violence we are witnessing in Chicago and in America's inner cities. In the Outro of "War", Common states, "The…

J COLE’s – “Intro” (Music Video) and Full Album Stream via @lisafordblog
"J. .Cole in one word - Amazing, I liked about 98% of sideline and BS and don't even get me started on his great mixtapes...I'm glad he didnt detour from the path he's been on over the years and I see people talking about how he should branch out and do this or that but there's an old saying: "If it ain't broke dont fix it". I'm not saying he's a living reincarnation of Mozart as a rapper (yet), but he damn sure is one…

ASTRO – “Didnt Know [Starvin Like Marvin For A Cool J Song]” #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
In "Didn't Know", ASTRO reminisces about his life before his fame and explains his childhood with a ridiculously good flow. It's a genuine great rap song, one that is a pure representation of East Coast hip hop, a story being told with no cursing. "Didn't Know" has that Brooklyn sound I've missed, this is what Jay Z use to be, a young dude spitting some real sh*t. You might remember Astro from the XFactor about 3 years back. He's come a long way and has…

KENDRICK LAMAR Performs “Untitled” On The Colbert Report – New Music!! (VIDEO) via @lisafordblog
Let's all pray that KENDRICK LAMAR drops his album on Christmas without warning. That would be crazy! Artists like Kdot is why I consider Hip Hop to be the "master genre" of all genres. The pure poetry of it all. Words are so important, so incredibly amazing in rap, other genres just can't compare. Kendrick will be a legend up there with Biggie, Nas, Em, 2pac, Rakim, and the rest. Could even outshine them all in due time. His song, "Untitled" is amazing.

CONGRESS Gives In To Medical Marijuana & Ends Federal Ban
"The war on medical marijuana is over," said Bill Piper, a lobbyist with the Drug Policy Alliance to the Los Angeles Times. According to TheAtlantic.com, "The $1 trillion spending bill that passed last week included a provision that blocks the Justice Department from spending any money to enforce a federal ban on growing or selling marijuana in the 32 states that have moved to legalize it for medical use. It marks a huge shift for Congress, which for years had sided with federal prosecutors in…

CAMILLE COSBY Breaks Silence & Defends BILL COSBY Over Rape Allegations! Read Her Statement! via @lisafordblog
Whether BILL COSBY raped all of those women or not, one thing appears true...that he cheated on CAMILLE COSBY left and right. I never understood why people get married knowing that they can't keep their pants zipped up. Anyways, that's my two cents. Read Camille's statement within this blog post, originally posted by CBS news.
