Nas on The Colbert Report

Posted in Artists, Comedy, Live Performances, News, Other Peoples' Interviews, Videos on July 24th, 2008 by Hyphen

I caught this live last night and wanted to share it right away.  As always, the net comes through in the clutch and it’s instantly archived.  I love technology.  Colby covers Nas & MoveOn.org’s protest of Fox News’ racist propaganda and then sits down with Nas for a brief interview.  Footage of that, plus Nas’ “Sly Fox” performance, and clips of the protest after the jump.  Well done Nasir.

This puts baseball players to shame

Spotted this over at the Dopehouse and I had to post it.  Once they broke out the Kid ‘n Play, it was a wrap.  Is it just me or were those credits kinda long for a short video?

But yo, speaking of Kid…did y’all know this just came out?

I have no idea how I feel about that.

“Geeks are cool now…this is our time”

I agree completely.  Dru, when are we going to incorporate “kill pose” at the gym?

RIP George Carlin

Posted in Comedy, News, Videos on June 24th, 2008 by Hyphen

Damn, right after Tim Russert passes, we lose another great figure in the media world.  One of the greatest comedians of all time, George Carlin, died on Sunday night due to heart failure.  He was an inspiration to virtually every contemporary comedian we have today and the world just got a lot less funny after his passing.  Here’s one of my favorite bits of his, the classic “baseball vs. football” routine:

Greatness. Back in college, I was lucky enough to take a course called “History of Laughter,” taught by the illustrious Barry Sanders (no, not that one…this one).  He focused a lot of the class around his experiences growing up and idolizing one of Carlin’s heroes, Lenny Bruce.  Anyone who understands the importance of laughter to the human condition knows how impactful Bruce and Carlin were to both comedy and popular culture.  True geniuses.  RIP George.
