The Story of Jayson Rodriguez

What the drillie with that? I tried to speak the dunn language. Me vs. P.

It’s provocative…. @NikeBasketball #kobesystem

I’m Feminist Enough To, Manifestos - Vol. 1, New York

It’s the first video! Real women saying real things. 

A special thank you to Lyani Powers, Hillary Crosley, Leilani Montes, Venus Okeke, Clover Hope and Shantrelle Lewis for their words. Pounds and tipped brims to Berman Fenelus for the camera love and The Stuyvesants for the track…which is from their new project The Finer Things—which is awesome.

Old school/new school, need to learn, though. [“NBA Forever” c/o BDL by way of TNT]

Conceptually, ‘NBA Forever’ is simple enough. The creators merely threaded together footage of the game’s legends with video of its current stars, an idea which had already been explored in NBA 2k12 and an online ocean’s worth of photoshopped images. Yet the restraint in this particular spot is what grants it such incredible power.

It would be so easy for ‘NBA Forever’ to tap into the highlight vein, but Dr. J’s swooping reverse, Havlicek’s infamous steal, and Magic’s game-winning hook are nowhere to be found. Instead, we’re given a feed of undistinguished moments in an adjacent basketball universe. Tim Duncan casually chats with Bill Walton. Amar’e Stoudemire rides the high of a dunk by chest bumping Patrick Ewing. A blunt spotlight is replaced with a warm glow, and the entirety of the NBA timeline collapses into itself. — Pro Basketball Talk

Forever young. (Get it, your age don’t exist?)

Best moment of the night, besides the free Hennessy. Shouts to Jayson and Kondo!

Third time’s the charm and, here, I clear the way for Nicki Minaj to enter the MVP conversation next year. Oh, you don’t think so? Y.U. Mad?

In our third video, we talk 6th Man Of The Year. This award goes to the artist that had a big year this year, but set themselves up for an MVP run next year. After a mild debate about the definition, each member of the crew throws a name into the pot. Finally a few members agree on a winner. Find out who by pressing play. [AL]

Better late than never: Finished Billboard’s ”Women in Music 2011” issue, so this is in honor of Nicki — I’m so (I’m so) proud of you.
