I felt this song the very first time I heard it. J. Rich submits the video “Been Thru It All.” It’s the first single from the “Pain” project. The beat is on point. It sounds like B-Boy music with a smooth tempo. The rhyme scheme on this particular track is perfect. This is generally the […]
L.B. Boi is talkin’ ’bout what many people would like.
“Get Rich Die Wealthy” is a video directed by Lash 2Tone.
Lyle LBboi Jr. got the auto-tune going throughout. Lots of close ups in this video are coupled with very quick editing.
They are out in what appears to be a graveyard on a dreary, overcast day. This appropriately sets the mood. Check it out!
Quality stuff from Mike Spitz called “Up on the Stage.” It’s more like Hip-Hop over Rock-N-Roll.
This is a great example of how Hip-Hop has expanded and influenced many since its inception.
This video has excellent camera work and editing. Within the first 25 seconds, there is a rack focus here and a rack focus there. Not mad at all. Good film/video work is universal.

Straight Outta Compton chronicles the story of the legendary Hip-Hop group Niggaz With Attitude. Based on true events, the movie focuses on the Compton California crew featuring Easy E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC Ren.
Dre and Yella are popular DJ’s at a club run by Alonzo Williams. After being arrested, Dre convinces drug dealer Eric Wright to invest money into funding Ruthless Records. Cube writes the track Boys in the Hood for a rap group named Home Boys Only, who reject the song.
With Cube unable to record due to prior commitments, they convince Wright to perform. The journey advances on a ride through the peak of the group’s popularity during the early 90’s, and concludes with Easy E‘s death, along with Dr. Dre‘s departure from Death Row Records.

Now that the dash-cam video has been released, taken down, and re-released again, the nation can see what happened. Just as suspected, another out of control cop escalated a situation that ended up way worse than it had to be.
Sandra Bland drove along the road minding her own business. A cop car quickly closed in on her out of nowhere. When Bland changed lanes in an effort to get out of the policeman’s way, the cop chose to pull her over for changing lanes without signalling.
This tactic is used often by policemen. Out of the blue, they roll up on you at top speed as if something is on fire. If one reacts to them abruptly, that gives them reason to question you, search you, or in this case pull you over. As an ultimate result, Bland was arrested. She was found dead in police custody days later in what medical examiners ruled a suicide.
