Download: Mos Def – “The Tournament”

Mos killed on the last album. It was the first time since Black on Both Sides he got the rhymes and beats perfectly right. This track starts really strong, but then kinda falls flat a little, but I ain’t mad – it’s still working for me.

Peace, Love & Mos Def

Apple finally announced their latest product – the iPad.

I was crazy excited about seeing this, but if I’m being 100% honest – it hasn’t impressed me as much as I thought it would. Don’t get me wrong I want one, but other than it being a new gadget – I’m not sure why? I have an iPhone and I have a MacBook (which pretty much goes every with me anyways) – why I’d need an iPad, I don’t know. Having said that…

…I’ll let you know when mine arrives!

Peace, Love & iPad

A homie and I took our traditional weekly pilgrimage to the movies last night to check out “A Prophet”. A French film which details the prison ‘career’ of Malik El Djebana (Tahar Rahim), a 19 year old Arab man sentenced to 6 years. With no friends or family on the inside or out, Djenbana begins his sentence a loner. Things immediately change for him however when he is quickly (and forcibly) recruited by Kingpin Cear Luciani (Neils Arestrup) and begins a life of organised crime, chaos and political mayhem.

At a 155 minutes long, I can honestly say there’s not a single dull moment here. You find yourself on the edge of your seat as you become invested in the main character and his life decisions. It’s actually quite remarkable how much happens within those 155 minutes. “A Prophet” is sophisticated, insightful, intelligent and at times – quite brutal. But is all tied together brilliantly by the very human story running through it. A man torn between many paths – trying to do the best he can, with what he has.

This is a must see film. It comes highly recommended.

Peace, Love & A Prophet

P.s Reminds me a little of “City of God” at times.

This track hit the nets earlier today. Only just got round to hearing it now. “Everybody’s Girl” is J-Lo’s first international single off her upcoming album…

Download: Jennifer Lopez – “Everybody’s Girl”

You know, I don’t hate it. I do prefer the more R&B J-Lo, but this is cool still. It’s fluff. She’s chasing that euro-pop money, she’s a bizness woman after all.

Peace, Love & Jennifer Lopez
