A colleague sent me this video when I was in the middle of grading; so much for being productive. This video is a productivity killer - AND it's hilarious.

You'll be happy to know that I won't file this under international hip hop.

Time for a good laugh hip hoppers. kfox.

I love a good song and this is it. I mean, whoever thought up the idea of these two guys working together was genius!

"Patience" is on the "Distant Relatives" project by Nas & Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley that was released in 2010. Simply put: the project is a good one and not just because it's received critical acclaim. If you only listened to the first track "As We Enter," the shortest track on the project, you'd know; you'd know that the music would be just right ...

Oh, and check the lyrics on this joint because it's a double dose of social messages:
