Pardon me while I put on my film cap…. Okay, I’m ready. 30 For 30 is slowly becoming some of the best content on television and by the looks of the trailer this will be yet another riveting documentary from ESPN Films. One Night in Vegas is the latest installment of the series.

Just in case you didn’t know, Jay-Z has officially arrived. Add the New York Yankees to the growing list of those who have partnered with Hov. The cultural icon recently inked a deal with The Billion dollar baseball team to co-brand several pieces of merchandise. The limited edition hats, hoodies and t-shirts will be available from now until September 14th which is the date of the concert that he and Eminem will headline.

For the average Smugger the barbershop is considered holy ground. It’s more than just a place to get your haircut, it is a cultural cornerstone in which you can overhear anything from current events, sports talk, relationship advice, and religious debate. Your haircut is the most essential part of your wardrobe– Let me be the first to tell you that no piece of clothing can compare to a fresh edge up. It transforms your presentation from ashy to classy.

Adolf Hitler may have been descended from both Jews and Africans, DNA tests are indicating, the Daily Mail reported.

I’m sure you have been overwhelmed with the news concerning this past weekend’s festivities regarding the Restoring Honor and the Reclaim the Dream rallies in D.C. You know The Smugger stays on our J.O. and we were there to cover the rally. There was much build up regarding the hostility that would be in the air, but in our opinion things were very euphoric. The only real confrontations I viewed could be attributed to the metro. First time metro riders, angry old ladies cussing people out, and some country bumpkins who had no idea where to go– pure comedy, I mean Eddie Murphy funny.

It’s a new day, life as we know it has changed. Change was the phrase being used a great deal by the masses to the point where it became a theme to them; now that theme is a lifestyle– a smug one at that. Change was the phrase adopted by our dear Commander-In-Chief, so I figured if it worked for him, what not for me?

Paraphrased in the words of my favorite rapper “Damn why they trying to stick us for our paper”. Yes indeed, bloggers have now turned what was once a platform to share your ideas and thoughts to a full fledged multi-million dollar business. Some blogs boast readerships of over 1 million and advertisers have taken notice. The beauty of blogs are that they are non-conventional and that proves to be advantageous and lucrative for businesses trying to expand business and reach a more widespread audience.

The Smugger’s favorite director is back to his old tricks– directing critically acclaimed films, that showcase the stories of those untold. His latest project If God is Willing and Da Creek Don’t Rise is a follow up to his 2006 documentary When The Levees Broke both of which document the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the lives of the people that it affected. Check for the trailer inside.

Is a new album looming? is this just an old track? If I have learned anything about Lauryn Hill, I know not to jump to any conclusions and just enjoy the music, but I still can’t avoid the million dollar question. The musical anomaly seems to at least be back in the lab. The on-again, off-again, off-again musical genius, is responsible for some of the most sincere and authentic music of our generation–and did it in one album, proving quality always beats quantity. This track sounds very miseducation-ish. If this is any indication of things to come from the Ms. Hill– we’re excited.

No, no these aren’t the Dirty Money chicks (In fact I am still trying to figure out what they do). If you have been up on your fashion sh*t, than you should know that the eclectic Minneapolis twins known as Coco & Breezy are currently running the designer specs game. Yes, the 20 year olds eyewear line is rather daunting; but in today’s world bold is beautiful– I would liken their style to Geordi La Forge from Star Trek meets Metallica.
