Another Humanoid Species!

(Via.)

James Blake - CMYK.  Can you dig it?

"Another wave of early human migration spilled from Africa about 70 to 80 thousand years ago. These travelers encountered both Neanderthals and Denisovans, eventually settling down and forming families with them. As a result, many Europeans have Neanderthal DNA; and, as the researchers report today in Nature, some Melanesian people from Papua have Denisovan DNA."

"Regardless of whether the Denisovans were another species, or just distant cousins, they are proof that humans have not always been alone among the primates. Within the last 50 thousand years, we shared the planet with other intelligent hominids who weren't quite human.

If we want to know what humanity might look like 50 thousand years from now, after we've colonized space and spent millennia evolving in dramatically different environments, we should look back to the Denisovans' humble cave in Siberia. There, three very different types of human beings met after a long time apart. And formed a community together."  (Via.)

Pendlebury concludes that the charges being considered by Swedish authorities “simply don’t ring true.”

“There is scant evidence — in the public domain at least — of rape, sexual molestation or unlawful coercion.”" (Via.)

I'm a bigger fan of their older stuff, but to be fair I haven't listened that much to what they've been putting out since they got on the radio.  I liked their hard-to-understand half-gibberish wailing and crooning I guess.  YouTube has this to say: "The bar is like a microcosm of the world—full of angry, often lonely people, users, pariahs, and the few people willing to make small, seemingly-insignificant changes for the better. Oh, and the Kings of Leon." Oh, and this: "This is a really great song from the album, I'm hoping that the radio won't overplay it to death like they did with Use Somebody."

The Crossroads Episode 1

In the Blues "the crossroads" are a place of spiritual power where a Bluesman might meet the Devil.  Robert Johnson supposedly sold his soul for his ability as a Bluesman and the fact that he died young (a known womanizer, one lover's husband poisoned him) only served to fuel the fire.  Anyway, this series is going to be about intersections of Hip-Hop and Native American culture however innocent, conscious, or ignorant.


"Hot Tottie" by Usher Feat. Jay-Z.

Kembosabe (or "Ke-mo sah-bee") comes from Tonto's term for The Lone Ranger (wiki here).

"I'm like 'Oh, Kemosabe, your body is my hobby.'" - Usher

(Via.)

"Hot toddy her body like cognac / Her momma like earth tea / We birthed a couple of sacks / And as the teeth speaks I greet all in the tipi / We did it Indian Style had the girl speaking / In tongue(s) she like young you hung what you done done / Stop it 'fore you wake up my momma might (ahhhhh) / And now that I've arrived it's time that you go..." - Jay-Z


"We Be Steady Mobbin' (Official Music Video)" by Lil Wayne Feat. Gucci Mane.

"Now pop that pussy I bring her to my bedroom / And pop that pussy, uh, huh and we be steady mobbin' / Oh Kemosabe, big ballin' is my hobby." - Lil Wayne

I'm going to blame Weezy for this one.
