VIDEO: The Roots ft John Legend “The Fire”

14 years ago view-show 754,182

This video is really intense.  I had expected something epic after seeing the pictures and the trailer, but nothing could have prepared me for this.  Rik Cordero, who directs pretty much every good music video you see nowadays, helms this project and really might have changed the game.  It took me  couple of times to really appreciate how epic this video is.  It also helps to have Rik Cordero’s own summary:

“The Fire” chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group — led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore — forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor…and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. – Rik

Basically Rik and The Roots are continuing to make incredible art, and we should thank them.  Go BUY “How I Got Over” if you haven’t already.

10 years ago view-show 6,371,244

The 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards have wrapped up and though we're sure you'd rather be watching the cyphers the live performances aren't that bad. And this year BET brought out the big guns of the modern era, including Bobby Shmurda, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and Migos. Perhaps the biggest takeaway during this was that the young stalwart from the ghettos of East NY, Brooklyn Bobby Shmurda closed the event with his hit single "Hot N***a", an incredible feat for someone who literally blew up over the summertime. Check out the live videos after the jump.

Video: Freddie Gibbs – Tim Westwood Freestyle

Homicidal. Freddie Gibbs with no regard for human life on these Drake/40 specials. His flow alone is a song but he so carefully chooses when to deploy it that it's still a Best Kept Secret for the Gary Gravedigger. Freestyle session after the jump.
