    NAS – “Bye Baby” (MUSIC VIDEO!)

    Lisa Ford / August 30, 2012

    NAS' "Bye Baby" is off of his new album, "Life Is Good". This is my favorite Hip Hop album of the summer as Nas brought Hip Hop back to its roots. In this single, he reverts the old R&B classic "GoodBye Love" from the R&B group, 'Guy', into his own creation rapping about his personal journey and his marriage/divorce from singer, Kelis. It's good to see artists open up and share their life experiences and lessons. The whole world is rooting for Nas right now…

    Watch NEIL ARMSTRONG Nearly Killed In A 1968 Training Accident – The LLRV Crash (VIDEO)

    Lisa Ford / August 27, 2012

    Neil Armstrong sacrificed a lot to accomplish everything he did in the space program. The film clip that I found on BoingBoing.net was originally posted at the Smithsonian's Air & Space Magazine blog. The video shows him escaping his test space craft right before it exploded. I read on boingboing that the video shows 'a 1968 test run of a lunar landing research vehicle—a practice version of the lunar module that would later carry Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the surface of the Moon'.…

    PASTOR TROY – “Vice Versa” MUSIC VIDEO (Lisa Ford’s Throwback IPOD Pick)

    Lisa Ford / August 26, 2012

    When I think of ‘chuuuch’ music, the hit rap record ‘Vice Versa’ off of Pastor Troy’s ‘Face Off’ album (2001) is one I can say ‘Amen’ to! Do ya’ll hear those unyielding church bells in the background? This is real ‘Chuuch’ music. The overall sound is hardcore, not watered down. Pastor Troy conveys a deep message suggesting, or better yet, posing the question, ‘What if our belief systems are wrong, and things are really VICE VERSA?’ This concept in a rap song is extremely heartfelt.…

    Lisa Ford / August 19, 2012

    We want rap to be like it use to be, but even back in the day, it was receiving a lot of criticism for one thing or another. In 1994, two great and legendary rappers, Scarface & Ice Cube, came together to address the ‘bad rap’ that rap was getting and recorded “Hand of the Dead Body” (off of Scarface’s notorious, “The Diary” album). This is classic ‘gangsta rap’ with some of the dopest lyrics in rap history. Scarface is like the South's equivalent of…
