Jay Smooth punks Michael Steele

Posted in Comedy, Politics, Videos on September 9th, 2009 by Hyphen

Another excellent clip from Jay Smooth and yet another example of shockingly hypocritical behavior by a Republican.  This is all a joke right?  I feel like Ashton’s going to hop out any second and tell me that America’s been playing me on Punk’d.  These people are crazy.

Oh, and LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @ Steele looking like Humpty Hump.  How did I never notice that before!?!?!

Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger.

More true words from Jay Smooth.  Like I said in my last post, we have to “be the change” we want to see.  That means we have to get to work and take pride in what everything do.

I’m making 2009 a huge year for myself and I hope y’all do the same.  Live better in every aspect of your life and get things moving in the right direction.  Do your best to really experience life.  Remember what Jimmy V said?

To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. That’s a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.

Jay Smooth – A Poem For The Young Voter

Posted in Live Performances, Politics, Videos on October 25th, 2008 by Hyphen

As always, Jay Smooth comes through with another on point video.  The importance of the youth vote has never been higher and this is the biggest election in our lifetimes.  It’s imperitive that you actually go vote (or send in your absentee ballots ASAP) on the 4th.  No excuses whatsoever.

Jay Smooth on the economic crisis

Posted in News, Politics, Videos on September 23rd, 2008 by Hyphen

Smart people > dumb people.  When you continually vote for “the guy you want to have a beer with,” this is what happens.  Be a lame or be a leader.  Which side are you on?

Swiped from Jay Smooth.

Jay Smooth breaks down “Hipsters”

Posted in Artists, Comedy, Videos on September 13th, 2008 by Hyphen

Amen.  As always, Jay Smooth is on point.  Hahaha @ the Full Force part.  To all my friends who are sometimes randomly lumped into this “hipster rap” category, keep making dope music and disregard the attacks.  To all my friends who resent the new wave of hip-hop, do like Jay said and listen to the music.  It’s good.  End of story.

A Beginner’s Guide to “No Homo”

Posted in Comedy, Videos on August 17th, 2008 by Hyphen

Hahaha, Jay Smooth is back with another dope vlog.  Personally, I never really got on the ‘no homo’ bandwagon, partially cause it’s dumb, but mainly cause it just sounds weird to say.  However, “pause” was, and always will be, hilarious to me so I reserve the right to use that at any time.  Even Gus Johnson dropped it on TV to help out Spike:

Classic.  I really try to fight the homophobia in hip-hop though, so I wonder if my useage of ‘pause’ somehow contradicts that.  Hmm…perhaps I’ll have to rethink it…
