Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Legit "Nigger in a Northface" vid

Hailing from Chicago, 19 year old Legit makes music that, no pun intended, is legit. "Nigger in a Northface" is a critical analysis of interracial (Black man/white woman because context matters) romances in the 21st century. Low key spoiler alert: I gave an eye roll at the ending ( if you know me then you'll understand why). Young Wonder definitely did his thing with the visuals because it felt more like a short film than a music video. Legit's Coloring Outside the Lines mixtape is out now!!!

And I hate being with your friends because if you bring 'em

I get stared at like an exhibit at a museum

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: No Church in the Wild (Video)

Kanye West and Jay Z - No Church In The Wild (music video) from High5Collective on Vimeo.

By far the BEST music video that you'll never see on television.

[Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

[Jay-Z]
Tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stains the Colosseum doors
Lies on the lips of priests, Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rolling in Rolls Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hiding from police
Cocaine seats, all white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic, I’m wondering if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asked whose bias do y'all seek?
All for Plato, screech, I’m out here balling, I know yall hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy he laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach

[Hook]

[Bridge: The-Dream]
I live by you, desire
I stand by you, walk through the fire
Your love is my scripture
Let me into your encryption

[Kanye West]
Coke on her black skin
Make a stripe like a zebra, I call that jungle fever
You will not control the threesome
Just roll the weed up until I get me some
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there’s permission
And deception is the only felony
So never fuck nobody without telling me
Sunglasses and Advil, last night was mad real
Sun coming up, 5 a.m., I wonder if they got cabs still?
Thinking 'bout the girl in all leopard
Who was rubbing the wood like Kiki Shepherd
Two tattoos one read "No Apologies"
The other said "Love is Cursed by Monogamy"
It’s something that the pastor don’t preach
It’s something that a teacher can’t teach
When we die the money we can’t keep
But we probably spend it all cause the pain ain’t cheap, preach

Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright,
No church in the wild (x4)

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Lil' B "R.I.P. The Rap Game" Video

This almost made me forget "Wonton Soup"...and "Charlie Sheen"...and "Dr. Phil"...and "Mel Gibson"...and "Bill Bellamy"...almost. Keep cooking meals like these Master Chef.

I don't want awards, don't want the fucking like

I think I'm The Source so I gave myself Five Mics

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Game Changers Part 1

Janelle Monae, Lupe Fiasco, B.o.B, and Estelle keep it 100.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Kendrick Lamar Ft Gucci Mane "Vanity Slave Pt 2"

Let's be honest, there was NO reason for Gucci to be on the track. Lamar could have easily carried this one on his own. Consumerism and the black experience. Is it a coincidence that it dropped the first day of Black History Month? I think not...

Picking cotton in the country?

I got this out the country.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Jasmine Mans

Actually press play before you write her off as a hater. In the end it's just an opinion though it should be respected as though it's a fact.

Things That Make You Go: C'mon Son 19

I'm a huge Ed Lover fan and an even BIGGER fan of C'mon Son. Once again Mr.Lover goes IN on Hip Hop but this time it's BET that gets their asses handed to them. He critiques the Hip Hop Awards and how The Top Rappers of the Millennium list is completely pound disrespectful.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm: Reflection Eternal

There are multiple uses for music. Some help you get down while while others uplift. Reflection Eternal is the creation of Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek. You might not agree with their beliefs but you can't deny that their style is long overdue.
