JMSN Unveils A Shimmery New Video For “Foolin”

Posted on:

JMSN is kinda the king when it comes to grainy, VHS-styled video treatments that wreak of sweet nostalgia. Today we’ve got yet another clip to share from his full-bloom catalogue with the unveiling of the visual for “Foolin’”; yet another fine sonic specimen from his  stellar self-titled LP. The clip cleverly mocks up the cheese and corn of old late night program and pits Detroit’s premier ’90s r&b revivalist as the electric and charismatic musical guest, something we’ll hopefully see recreated on a real late-night stage sooner than later.

Zumo Kollie “Say A Prayer” [Official Video]

Posted on:

Providence emcee, Zumo Kollie, burst back onto the scene last year with the release of his project, You’re A Good Sport, Zumo Kollie. “Park Day” was the joint that initially caught my attention, but dude is definitely spittin’ flames on the EP’s opening track, “Say A Prayer,” as well. Today, said track gets the visual treatment. Listen to young Zumo vent with some real honest societal critiques in his new video. Let’s hope 2015 will bring another project from Zumo. Video directed by Daniel Navetta. The post Zumo Kollie “Say A Prayer” [Official Video] appeared first on Okayplayer.

Will Smith Interview On The Late Show with David Letterman

Posted on:

Will Smith isn’t about to be outdone by his children. Will’s out here hittin’ the late night circuit hard. With an upcoming dive back into the music world (maybe), and with and a new movie on the way, he’s got much to talk about. The latest stop had Will choppin’ it up with David Letterman on The Late Show. Things get started off with Will putting on an “impromptu” performance of “Getting’ Jiggy Wit It.” Then they get at it with Will throwing plenty of lighthearted jabs at Dave while promoting his new movie, Focus, and taking about family life with Jada and the kids. Will puts in a good charismatic 23 minutes of interview time and finishes things off with a top 10 (to Letterman’s surprise) of…

Eddie Murphy’s Return To SNL Was Short, But Not Too Sweet

Posted on:

Eddie Murphy’s return to studio 8h may have come during what was potentially TV’s most grande spectacle ever in SNL’s massive, nearly 4-hour long 40th anniversary special. But it certainly wasn’t what any of us were expecting. While the night was filled with Kanye interruptions, reboots of classic sketches and a slew of monstrous musical moments, Murphy’s spotlight seemed to last only as long as it took to say thank you. And that’s pretty much all we got out of him. Many of us teemed with excitement over what cross-generational comedic marvel could have been, dreaming of how Gumby could have met Stefan on Weekend Update or how the too-hot…
