Toro Y Moi delivers another quirky clip in support of his latest album, What For? Directed by HARRYS, the video for “Lilly” follows Chaz Bundick on a surreal trip to the grocery store, where he gets pelted by all kinds of food by the other customers. I dunno why, but I’d love to see Chaz in a Napoleon Dynamite remake.

Diddy is coming to a city near you soon. The mogul appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday afternoon to announce an upcoming world tour. “I’m gonna go and do a world tour,” said the Bad Boy CEO. “I’m not gonna hit a lot of places, but the places that I am gonna hit, it’s important for me because it’s probably my last time touring.” The 45-year-old will hit the road one final time, before focusing his time on raising his children.

The situation in Baltimore, Maryland this week has been a powder keg, or a raisin in the sun. The tweet that floored me was from @Shugah, who quoted a very prophetic James Baldwin Esquire interview from 1968. (Read that for some head crack.) But back to Baltimore, 2015…the complex issues from Freddie Gray’s unexplained spinal injury, his death, the release of his unrelated police record, the days of peaceful protest, and then this week’s explosion of violence, looting, and vandalism…can not be summed up neatly or patched up with a meme. It has to be added to the growing list of issues and incidents that are festering around the country.
But…I just wanted to share an interview that CBS did with Toya Graham, the Baltimore mom who angrily pulled her 16-year-old son off the street when she spotted him throwing rocks at riot police.
