[WATCH] Obama Slow Jams The News: Too Fast?

Barack Obama makes the job of President seem too easy sometimes. His charismatic, swagged out approach to politics is part of the reason why there are a lot of young people tuning in and staying tuned. However, as a country, we are facing some of the most depressing economic times in history and when our Commander-in-Chief is seen on Jimmy Fallon making light of news that’s pretty damn serious to his constituency, I have to ask, “how does that make you feel?”

Some think it might be a lil too soon to be having fun with the news when your job is on the line as well as many other Americans. Personally, I loved this remix of the news because the news is actually really old. At the very least, we know we’re getting murdered fiscally and economically at the local and national level. I don’t wanna keep hearing that. At the same time if there’s going to be a remix of the news, I’d prefer it be Diddy…but I can digest it with the President. What do you think?

Satirical news analyst Jon Stewart had this to say: “You don’t have to do this shit anymore.”

#NewMusic: BJ The Chicago Kid “East Side High 2012 & Forever”

BJTCK, one of the many artists that are scheduled to be present at SXSW (click link for show details), has just released an album called Pineapple Now & Laters, some of which we’ve posted last week. The second song on the album is a cover of East Side High’s Alma Mater from “Lean on Me.”

I have never heard a rendition this smooth.

[WATCH] Blogger Exposes TSA Faulty Nude Body Scanners

SXSW is almost here and we are going to be rolling deep to attend this annual music festival mainly because we have our own panel taking place: Can Bloggers Put Hope Back into the 2012 Election?

Seeing that by July 2011, we just surpassed 164 million blogs (up from 161 million since 2004), 49 percent of which are produced by the US, just about everyone is finding the time to rant and rave about something. If sharing is caring, a lot of people sure do give a f**k!

Meet Johnathan Corbett, blogger, who is making it a chore to take down the TSA for their irresponsible spending and disregard for our safety. With a very articulate argument to back himself up, Johnathan walks us through some of the dysfunctions of the nude body scanners at your local airport. He even walks through a couple with metallic objects in his pocket to show that certain types of material are able to appear invisible on their scanners, which is an insult to intelligence.

Forget hope and the 2012 election! This is the type of journalism that will take the trust out of government altogether, if you ask me.

#NewMusic: Frank Ocean “Voodoo”

Although, D’Angelo has been seen on the scene recently, Frank Ocean provides us with his own definition of voodoo.
Oh, so you thought they stopped making baby-making music when you made yours? Not quite and in fact, we need more of this type of love-making music. Overall, we need love and thanks to Frank, there is a soundtrack!
