Rumor has it Cuba Gooding Jr bought the rights to this guy's story and is hoping to play him in a future biopic.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB6s-X05Irg&feature=player_embedded] Mario Troise's fan video for Mos Def's classic hit "Mathematics" reminds me a lot of Jonathan Hoefler's Cee-Lo music video.
D.J. Max Tannone, the remix magician behind Mos Dub (previously) does it again, but this time with Talib Kweli. Result is considerable.
Jason Lazarus's "Otis Redding Motivational Poster." You can get a free copy by sending a SASE to the artist. Address [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F8xhAsyvE8&feature=player_embedded] Amazing vintage Japanese commercial for Suntory whiskey (Yes, the same one from "Lost in Translation") starring Sammy Davis Jr. Make sure your volume is turned on.
The inspiration for having Bob Harris do a Suntory whisky commercial was partially inspired by the fact that Sofia Coppola's father, made a real Suntory commercial with Akira Kurosawa in the 1970s.
Someone please upload this to YouTube. Thank you.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y82npOI0Va0&feature=player_embedded] I really like this song and video of Jake Shimabukuro playing "Blue Roses Falling." It's quite zenful to me. A ukulele on a float in the blue waters of Hawaii? Yes please.
View the almost-complete 1991 Pro Set "Yo! MTV Raps" card collection. Complete, except for cards 23, 39, 98.
The above Public Enemy card is amazing, mainly for the thug usage of the brick cell phone being used in a pre-free nights and weekends era.
