All music is ‘Emo’

Published by d dot b under Hip-Hop, Logic, videos

Joe Budden = Emo

An interesting dialogue by Joe Budden and his first-person perspective video as they talk about music being emotional – regardless of how shallow or deep your favorite artist may be, at the end of the day, all music brings an emotion. Joe Budden may bring some real life/struggle emotion, while Soulja Boy may make you feel like getting up and dance in the club – either way, it all comes down to the feelings.

Kind of a long video for the Internet finicky crowd, but you’ll learn something at the end of it.  Side note: they really shouldn’t be talking so foul in front of the little kid … SMH

‘This’ is Hip-Hop

‘This’ is Hip-Hop

This must be from the late 80’s or early 90’s, but it is a video that teaches ‘hip-hop’ to white america. Now, ‘yes’ this is a badly produced video, but honestly, I think they had the best intentions.
Enjoy.

Augment the Reality for your Windshield

GM seems to be gaining back market share from Toyota and their constant bad press about their runaway vehicles, as GM is testing augmented reality in windshields; essentially GM has teamed up with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Southern California to test out this new design.  Peep the video below, something for the Nerbans.

Funny Double Entendre’s, pt 2

All about ambiguity
Part 2 of the ‘Funny Double Entendre’ series (check pt.1 here), this time these are some funny newspaper headlines that are in a desperate need for an edit. The main literal problem with these headlines is the ambiguity in some of the word(s) – without the proper context, the headlines have multiple meanings.
