TALIB KWELI Argues w/ CNN’S Don Lemon During #Ferguson Interview! (VIDEO) In Case you Missed It! via @lisafordblog
TALIB KWELI delivered one of the most powerful interviews I've seen in the news recently. He stood up to CNN and its anchor, Don Lemon, who appears disconnected with what's really going on on the ground in Ferguson, with his attempt to debunk Kweli's eyewitness account. Kweli schooled them on what he thought was bad media coverage. The death of unarmed teen, Mike Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri, has brought race relations in America back to the forefront in the media and social media alike. In…

KENDRICK LAMAR First Time Ever Performing “Money Trees” (VIDEO) #Throwback via @lisafordblog
I bought KENDRICK LAMAR's "Good Kid m.a.a.d City" the first day it was released in Oct. 2012. I played it until it got to Track #5 and kept it on rewind over and over before I had a chance to listen to the rest of the album. By far, "Money Trees" is my favorite song on one of Hip Hop's most critically-acclaimed CDs. The beat is soulful, almost haunting, and the record took me back to my childhood. It brought back memories of my spending…

TEYANA TAYLOR ft. Pusha T & Yo Gotti – “Maybe” (Music Video) via @lisafordblog
Teyana Taylor's "Maybe" is off of her upcoming album, "VII", which drops October 21st on Kanye's G.O.O.D Music. It's a cool dope song that reminds me a little of Aaliyah's slow rhythmic flow from back in the day.

MIKE BROWN’s Friend Tells His Story!! (VIDEO) #JusticeForMikeBrown via @lisafordblog
I can't write about somebody else's dead child as if I knew him, and as if my words are going to make a difference in the turmoil that MIKE BROWN's family is going through right now. So I'm posting this video, a first hand account, told by his friend, who witnessed Brown being gunned down for no reason by a Police officer. Mike Brown was eighteen years old, walking down a street in Ferguson, Missouri, from his apartment to his grandmother’s, at 2:15 on a…

DOM KENNEDY – “After School” (Music Video) @LISAFORDBLOG’s IPOD Pick
DOM KENNEDY is 'so West Coast' and his laid back flow on this laid back beat proves it. 'After School' is classic Hip Hop and it's one of those songs that make you feel high without smoking a pound of weed. This has been my cruising song since I first listened to the album because it's so hardcore. "After School' is off of Dom's "Get Home Safely" album, which dropped a while ago, so these new visuals for is a special treat for us hip…

NICO & VINZ – “Am I Wrong” [Music Video] @LISAFORDBLOG’s IPOD Pick
The main thing I love about "Am I Wrong" by the Norwegian duo, NICO & VINZ, is that it was created for Dreamers. The message in this song, 'to believe in yourself', is so strong, it makes the hairs on my arms rise and sends chills down my spine. 'Am I Wrong' has inspired me all year long, when it broke out as a huge success last summer in Norway and the rest of Scandinavia...and when the duo went by the name, 'Envy'. 'Am I…

Katie Noonan – “Crazy” Cover (Gnarls Barkley) #MusicMonday @Lisafordblog’s IPod Pick
If you've watched the last episode of "Suits" (USA Network), then I'm sure you recognized a sultry version of Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy" playing in the background of a steamy scene. That was actually singer, Daniela Andrade's, cover of the song, but a lot of people are getting that version mixed up Katie Noonan's cover. Noonan's (the one I posted) is better because she threw a jazzy spin on the hit record, and the blend between her voice and the background music is simply superb. If…
