Morning Video: G.O.O.D. Music BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher

Incase you missed last night's BET Hip Hop Awards, different groups of rappers entered the cypher (a crew of rappers rapping in a room, basically) and all went hard. There were five in all featuring the star veterans like Kanye West, Common, Raekwon, Rev Run, and Ice Cube as well as up and comers like Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, Tyga, Yelawolf, and Diggy and JoJo Simmons (Rev Run's kids). All of them were dope, but my favorite was (you guessed it) Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music cypher featuring Kanye, Common, Pusha T, Big Sean, and CyHi Da Prynce. Kanye spit first and last killing it with his signature introspective, boastful, and thoughtful flow, but the most surprising came from Big Sean. He flowed with such ease and he looked like a true pro ready for the flashing lights. I got excited. After you see this, you will, too. Run it back!

Morning Video: Jay Pharoah Spoofs Will Smith & Denzel Washington

Never heard of Jay Pharoah? Well, it's time for you take notice. The 22-year-old Virginia native became the latest addition to the Saturday Night Live cast on September 25, making him the first African-American addition since 2003, when Keenan Thompson arrived. He's made a name for himself by impersonating celebrities like Jay-Z, Drake, President Obama, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, and others. Below, I've posted my favorite video of his when he impersonates Will Smith and Denzel Washington. It's a spoof of a behind the scenes look at why a movie between them never happened. If you don't laugh at this, you might be dead. Enjoy.

Morning Video: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League on the Making of "Aston Martin Music"

The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League is a group of producers you must know if you're into hip-hop. But, just in case you're not they consist of three producers (Erik "Rook" Ortiz, Kevin "Colione" Crowe, Kenny "Barto" Bartolomei) based in Tampa, FL. They took home a Grammy for Best R&B Album in 2007 for their work on Mary J. Blige's album "The Breakthrough". They've also crafted hits for Lil' Wayne, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Drake, and Fabolous among many others. This video shows their work on Rick Ross's summer banger "Aston Martin Music" featuring Drake and Chrisette Michele. The track was quite possibly the single of the summer. See how it all went down.

Morning Muse: Beyonce's Fall 2010 Dereon Ads


"Wow, is that Beyonce?" They were the first words out of my mouth as I flipped through this Fall's issue of V Magazine. My mouth dropped. The baddest chick in the game just got badder. Sporting outfits and fake tattoos from her Fall 2010 Ads for her clothing line Dereon, Beyonce poses and stares daringly looking sexier than (or at least as sexy) we've ever seen her. Enjoy the pics.




Morning Video: Eminem f/ Lil' Wayne - "No Love"



The moment I first heard this track in my SUV I just shook my head with the beat knowing it was going to be a hit. Lil’ Wayne’s verse is slow, but thorough, and it’s done so well it’s quite possibly one of my favorite verses of his (I always have the words “No love lost, no love found” in my head). Dude even appears in the video, which is just a bad-ass, surprising moment if you ask me. Eminem spits hot fire all over this song just like he does on the rest of his album Recovery. I like how the video is dark and more toned down than ostentatious and the storyline is pretty cool. Bottom line, bullies suck.
