Toki Wright: "A Different Mirror" video
I honestly didn't think they had videos like this on MTV. I'm glad I'm wrong. Toki Wright shows America's present through a mirror of the past, telling listeners to 'know your history' in this politically charged new music video. The song is a detailed first person narrative of a journey through slavery, two world wars, and up through present day. It's hard to believe that it was written in less than an hour in front of a white castle. Toki posted on his twitter page: "I wrote "A Different Mirror" in the parking lot at White Castle over South in about 30 min after hearing the beat over the phone."
See the video below. Toki Wright's A Different Mirror LP is in stores now via Rhymesayers.
Toki's album of the same name is available now through Rhymesayers.

Cee-Lo: "Fox New" Live on Colbert Report
Cee-Lo celebrated the release of his LP by joining Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central's Colbert Report. While the show is on cable, you still can't say "f**k" on the air, and Colbert fed Cee-Lo some censor approved replacements. He ended up going with Fox News, and the results are awesome. See it below.

This is Awkward: Matt Lauer vs. Kanye West
Geez, give Matt Lauer one interview with a former president and his s**t don't stink. We get it, you interviewed George W. Bush. He opened up to you about how Kanye West calling him a racist was the worst part of the worst presidency in American History, we know, we know... Have a t-shirt made saying "I Interviewed Dubya" and just shut up about it already...
Ahem, in case you didn't know, Matt Lauer interviewed George Bush. Bush talked about Kanye West. Kanye West said he empathized with Bush's hard feelings about being called a racist. Matt Lauer interviewed Kanye West. That is where he then beat a dead horse into the ground. In the short interview, which Kanye then tweet-ranted about and deaded his press run in response to, Lauer goes on and on about George Bush's hurt feelings in what seems like some attempt to orchestrate a great TV moment... Kanye is not amused, and Matt Lauer apologizes, uh sort of... It all gets sorted out in the video below before it is announced that, drum roll please... Kanye will be back at the Today Show the day after Thanksgiving to perform outside... And a sigh of cha-ching is heard all throughout NBC... See the video below.
