It's Lil' Mama, I decided to showcase the '80s style in this video as fashion has been back-tracking to rap's infantile style for a while now. Forget "That '70s Show" and watch "This '80s Video."
The '80s are "What It Is?"

Afro Punk(ed): The Fest
From July 4th - July 13th Afro-Punk will feature a number of artists and skaters in Brooklyn, at a parking lot adjacent from BAM's Cinemas, tricked out with a half pipe and ramps. This tricked out fest will take place located between Lafayette Ave. and Ashland Place.
This festival seems like it will be the epitome of skater action and action-packed performances, including a perfromance by Janelle Monae, most notably seen in Outkast's video for "Morris Brown." Janelle can also be heard on the song "In Your Dreams." Both songs are on the IdleWild soundtrack.

"Let Me Hear 'Somebody Scream' "
While browsing through books at a Brooklyn Barnes and Noble retail store I came across a book titled, "Somebody Scream," by Marcus Reeves. When I glanced through the book inside of the store, I did not pay too much attention to "The Message" I thought the book had. After reading a recent review of the book I thought twice about making a trip back to Brooklyn to actually buy the book!
The review explains that Marcus Reeves follows the political and cultural rhyme and reason behind hip-hop. The reviewer, The URB Magazine's Dominic McDonald, says: "It's definitely a great history lesson to you whiney '90s babies who get 'The Message' confused with an Ice Cube track."
Technically being a '90s baby who cries about what I do not know regarding Hip-Hop, I am interested in being hushed after reading "Somebody Scream."
