Unless someone’s gotten 15 French Bulldogs for you, this is probably going to be the best thing that happens to you today: pioneering hip hop group De La Soul are making their entire catalog available for free downloadover the next 25 hours.
“It’s about allowing our fans who have been looking and trying to get a hold of our music to have access to it,” Posdnuos explained to Rolling Stone, noting that the myriad number of samples on their albums have prevented them from being able to release their albums on most digital services (including iTunes and Spotify). “It’s been too long where our fans haven’t had access to everything. This is our way of showing them how much we love them.”
Besides being Valentine’s Day, today marks the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album 3 Feet High and Rising. The music will be available for download from 11 a.m. Eastern time Friday until noon on Saturday. Keep in mind that some people had trouble downloading this morning (it seems Dropbox-related), but it should hopefully be back up soon.
The band are also planning on releasing their first new album in a decade, You’re Welcome, in the coming months. “We’re just getting in the mode of constantly giving people new music,” Posdnuos added. “With us, we’ve sat a long time without releasing an album. It’s high time we start releasing a bunch of stuff because it’s there.”

In honor of next month’s 25th anniversary of their debut album “3 Feet High and Rising,” De La Soul is making their entire catalog available for free download for 25 hours on the group’s website, reports Rolling Stone.
The download bonanza will begin today, February 14th at 11 a.m. EST and end Saturday at noon.
The move was driven in part by copyright law, which, because of the group’s use of samples, prevented sale of some their albums on iTunes.
“It’s about allowing our fans who have been looking and trying to get a hold of our music to have access to it,” De La Soul member Posdnuos told Rolling Stone. “It’s been too long where our fans haven’t had access to everything. This is our way of showing them how much we love them.”
“It’s been a trying journey. We’ve been blessed to be in the Library of Congress, but we can’t even have our music on iTunes,” he added. “We’ve been working very hard to get that solved.”
A fatal collision occurred in Greenwich Village early yesterday morning when a truck plowed into a city bus. The bus’ operator, William Pena, was thrown from the vehicle. He later died beneath the wheels of the bus. The driver of the truck was 22-year-old Domonic Whilby of Georgia, reports The New York Daily News.
Just hours before the pre dawn collision, Whilby was celebrating at a birthday bash at club 1 Oak for supermodel Shanina Shaik with his famous uncle, Tyson Beckford. Sources say that after a night of hard partying Whilby was escorted from the club around 3:30 am and was thrown out of Dream Downtown Hotel after he passed out on the second floor. Onlookers say that he became irritated when he was unable to locate the limousine that was scheduled to pick him up. The super at two W. 16th St. apartment buildings, Victor Vega, says that he witnessed Whilby randomly pound on multiple apartment doors.
“He was sweating like a mad dog,” said Vega. “He had to be high on drugs. He started kicking and banging the doors.”
Shortly after, Vega says Whilby jumped into a running 10 Rabbits Granola truck and sped away after the truck’s driver got out to make an early morning delivery. One witness tells NYDN that Whilby blew though a red light just moments before the fatal crash.
“It’s just the wrong place at the wrong time, I guess,” said the victim’s cousin, Edwin Espinal. “That’s what happened to William — an honest, working guy and he paid the consequences. Unbelievable.”
“William was a great person,” added Pena’s brother, Alex Pena. “I can’t say no more about him, great person … He was a great guy every way you can put it.”
Four others were injured in the accident, including a person on a scooter, who was dragged 50 ft.
“He didn’t even brake,” said Eddie Abdelmoty. “My tires blew up … He went right through the red light at the end of the block.”
Police say Whilby suffered minor neck injuries. Once apprehended by officers, he was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he was likely tested for drugs and alcohol. He is facing 10 charges, some of which include manslaughter, two counts of grand larceny, three counts of criminal assault, criminal mischief and criminal trespass.
Pena leaves behind a wife and 14-year-old daughter. Beckford’s manager has declined to comment on the tragedy.

Next Big Star..Ice JJFish???
I have no words for this. Just….no words.
The way it should sound.
A couple of days ago, college football star Michael Sam pronounced to the world that he was gay. Before Sam came out, his NFL prospects were extremely high, but since telling his ‘secret,’ people have already began forming their opinions on the player based on his sexual lifestyle.
So I ask…
What? You formed an opinion about Michael Sam without first hearing what Jon Stewart had to say?
How dare You!?!

Sam Rubin won’t be picking a fight with Nick Fury anytime soon. The seasoned entertainment reporter for KTLA caused actor Samuel L. Jackson to fly into a rage on Monday, Feb. 10 when he confused him with Matrix star Laurence Fishburne.
“Working for Marvel, the Super Bowl commercial, did you get a lot of reaction to that Super Bowl commercial?” Rubin asked Jackson.
“What Super Bowl commercial?” Jackson replied.
After a moment of awkward silence, Rubin realized his mistake before Jackson erupted, “See, you’re as crazy as the people on Twitter. I’m not Laurence Fishburne! We don’t all look alike! We may be all black and famous, but we don’t look alike.”
Fishburne appeared in a buzzed-about Kia ad where he reprised his iconic role as Morpheus from The Matrix. And Jackson was immediately upset by the mix up.

“You’re the entertainment reporter?! And you don’t know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne? There must be a very short line for your job,” he continued as Rubin attempted to turn the conversation back to Jackson’s RoboCop remake. “I’m the ‘What’s in your wallet’ black guy. And I’ve actually never done a McDonalds or a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial. I know that’s surprising.”

Rubin tried to laugh off what he called the “well-deserved spanking,” but later acknowledged, “That is a tape now that I believe is going to have a life all of its own.”
The longtime reporter issued an official apology via KTLA, but it’s unclear as to whether Rubin is actually owning up to his faux pas.
“I indicated to Samuel that I’d seen him during the Super Bowl, and he thought that I had confused him with the commercial Laurence Fishburne had done for a car company,” Rubin said. “Of course a Captain America ad had also run during the Super Bowl, but I immediately felt so dumb, I didn’t bring that up — and he gave me the shellacking that was well deserved.”
