WATCH SHARP-TONGUED EMCEE HOMEBOY SANDMAN NARROWLY ESCAPE THE CLUTCHES OF VILLAINOUS BIG-MOUTHED BADDIES IN JAY BROWN-DIRECTED "TALKING (BLEEP)"


"Edan had the ill beat and was like, 'Yo, this sounds kinda like when people talk mad sh*t, you should speak on that.' I was like word. The onslaught of people talking mad copious amounts of sh*t is the ongoing barrage. That's what the video is about," Queens-bred emcee Homeboy Sandman recently revealed to The FADER, who premiered said video, "Talking (Bleep)." Sandman's Edan-produced sh*t-talker lamenting creation stems from his upcoming Stones Throw album, Kindness for Weakness and is instantly evocative, to me at least, of The Peanuts' often used droning "WOOT WOOT WOOT" adult talking voice. Its companion Jay Brown-directed visual treatment is vaguely reminiscent of The Avengers: Age of Ultron meets let's say, Pierce Brosnan-helmed 1990's James Bond flick GoldenEye, but instead of your friendly neighborhood chiseled caped crusaders, starring sharp-tongued emcee Homeboy Sand-Man!!! For whatever reasons, it's never actually determined why so-called big-mouthed baddies are in fact ruthlessly chasing and seemingly attempting to kill Sandman, but let's just refer to them as "haters" from here on out, for argument's sake. "I met a rapper that sucks who is way more famous than I am / Can you believe sucka tried to kick some knowledge to the Boy Sand... telling me that I was a brand? / And I should think about rocking with a band / And it's a good thing I got on Instagram / And a bunch of other, meaningless nonsense / Shut up d*ck you sound like this," Homeboy Sandman unabashedly rhymes throughout the track's simplistic, yet incredibly effective, sixth and final verse.


Lest we forget, all the while, gun-slinging, karate chopping, running circles around, bustin' out some masterful Jean-Claude Van Damme-reminiscent moves, and cold hard rhymes against anywhere from 3-6 big-mouthed baddies at once; Sandman, however, is finally able to escape the clutches of evil towards "Talking (Bleep)'"s closing scenes as Edan rolls up just in the nick of time with "The Wheels of Fortune," better known across the Underground Hip-Hop community as the coveted Mello Music Group Volvo. "Talking (Bleep)" was preceded by non-album cut, "Life Support," which despite being left off Kindness for Weakness, Stones Throw still had a companion stop-motion video commissioned by frequent collaborator Pace Rivers. Ahead of Kindness for Weakness' impending May 6th release, Homeboy Sandman will soon head out on a massive 38-date North American tour spanning from May 5-July 14th along with Lice EP partner in crime, Aesop Rock – who will unleash his long-awaited The Impossible Kid during the duration of their jaunt, as well. I, for one, already bought my ticket to Sandman & Aesop's Grimace Federation-backed June 11th date at Philly's Union Transfer and I'm praying to the Rap Gods that they'll have physical (reasonably priced) copies of their critically-acclaimed Lice EP stacked roughly 3 Feet High & Rising at the merch booth!!!

"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...
