.: Video - Plan B - ill Manors

Apologies if this old news but it's new to me.
Not the London Riots, but this clip explains more than those lip-flapping media c*nts could manage in the days following the LDN Uprising.

.: Shut up about 9\11 .. unless you are KRS1

Video Link

In this video interview from WeAreChange, hip-hop legend KRS-1 expounds on 9/11, asking why the Zadroga Act isn’t providing more medical coverage for first responders, explaining how his South Bronx roots informed his experience and feelings about the day’s tragic events, and discussing his and other rappers’ skepticism of the mainstream media and its official take on the attacks. “I’ve been criticized in the past for not being as sensitive as I probably should be to the event itself, and that’s warranted,” he says. “I slept in the World Trade Center when I was homeless, back in ’83 to ’85…to the hood, the Trade Center looked like two horns in the sky. We didn’t have nothing to do with that building. We know that the wealth of the people was getting sucked into them two towers. That’s what we know”

DANIEL SAVIO - REVOLT (music video) from Måns Nyman on Vimeo

Daniel Savio 2012 on dodpop records

- The video portrays and lends space to those otherwise ostracized by society - the hunted and discriminated. Drug addicts, crazies, prowlers and prostitutes have no place in society and few sympathise with them. These people are the biggest losers in history.

- We depicted them as animals of equal standing - crows, rodents and raccoons and transformed them into beautiful and powerful survivors.

.: JDilla - Last Donut [On eternal rotation]

J Dilla's "Last Donut of the Night" was originally released on Donuts, the last album he finished in his lifetime. Donuts was released February 6, 2006, three days before he passed away.

Some YouTube comments:

Dilla R.I.P. you changed my life :)

 who else got chills?

 This album is amazin'!! - I've never heard anythin' quite like it before. I dunno if it was because he was on his deathbed which gave him the superb inspiration but he managed to convey a story to his listeners just through beats!!! Beautiful Soul!!! Peace!!

 I couldnt imagine anyone's final goodbye being more beautiful or heartfelt. Dilla forever!

 J Dilla (Last Donut of the Night) is a thing of true beauty, unspoiled perfection installed within an instrumental

 if you dont know jdilla you dont know hip hop

 What is the shape of a donut, homie?

J Dilla made you feel things that you didn't know you could

 i could listen to this for years.

This is one of the most personal and greatest records that has ever been made. Produced whilst he knew he was going to die. You can hear both his pride in what he has achieved and the sadness that he has to leave this world. "Young man went out and made a name for himself." An autobiographical sample, and eerie because it's like he's imagining what'll be said at his own funeral . Then the track ends abruptly, just like his life.
