The Legendary Roots Crew Presents: Black Thought, Truck North & STS - "Mad Men Jam Boys" (Money Making Jam Boys) RJD2 Re-work

"After dropping "Trunk of My Computer" video from the #STSxRJD2 album, STS, Black Thought, and Truck North put [their] MMJB twist on RJD2's classic Mad Men theme song, "Beautiful [Mine]."

Produced by The Wurxs for [their] Wurxs of Art project coming soon," Philly emcee Sugar Tongue Slim (STS) wrote Tuesday afternoon on his Soundcloud accompanying "Mad Men Jam Boys." The Wurxs-produced remix of RJD2's Mad Men theme, "A Beautiful Mine," is the unofficial return to form of Roots affiliated crew, Money Making Jam Boys, which consists of Roots emcee Black Thought, STS, Truck North, Greg P.O.R.N. and Dice Raw (who are noticeably absent here). MMJB's first and only release thus far was their Denzel Washington-approved 18-track debut, The Prestige: Jam Boy Magic way back in 2010.

Its members have remained far from silent in the five years since The Prestige: Black Thought & The Roots have effortlessly transitioned from The Late Night Band to The Tonight Show Band, STS has released a 3-volume sample-flipping GOLD RUSH mixtape series, as well as his recent RJD2-produced project, STSxRJD2, and Truck North has unleashed two critically-acclaimed EP's, his album Murder By Mourning, and his recent mixtape compilation, In Case You Missed It. Black Thought kicks off "Mad Men Jam Boys" with nearly 2-minutes worth of ferocious wordplay, effortlessly surpassing your standard 16 bar runtime; "I'm just a hard act to swallow / my thoughts is too dark to follow / left my heart in Chicago where the tips on the ammo be hollow / with a Kung Fu grip like G.I. Joe..." The remaining three minutes are evenly split between STS and Truck North, who arguably hold their own against a seasoned Philly emcee like Mr. Trotter. While there are currently no plans for Money Making Jam Boys proper The Prestige follow-up, we might know more very shortly, as I'm currently working on an as-yet-unpublished interview with Jam Boy Truck North.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
