50 saves Elmo’s life.

Check out more of Mos Def on BET’s 106 & Park promo’ing his new CD, The Ecstatic, which drops June 9 (get it right Roxy).

The commercial features a sneak peak instrumental to a song off of Detox. Tell us what you think.

Early 1990s popular rapper MC Hammer has a reality show debuting this Sunday at 10pm EST on A&E.  Hammertime is described as focusing on the Hammer family as they live their not-so-simple lives in Tracy, California.  Having a family and re-launching the Hammer empire is not an easy task, but with wisdom, faith and relentless tenacity to strive through any adversity, this family is stronger than ever.

In an interview with TVSquad.com Hammer describes what we’ll see on Hammertime:

Throughout these ten or eleven episodes… through music, technology, family, holidays, birthdays, trials and tribulations, at the end of the day, you’ll find a family that is inspirational and hopeful. In this current environment that we find ourselves in in America and the world, family and love of family at the end of the day is more important than anything. I think that’s what you’ll find very interesting and we hope will keep you watching the series.

I was never a big MC Hammer fan back in the day, although I did dig some of his songs, especially some of the early ones (like the one below). But I may have to DVR this and check it out to see what Hammer has been up to.  Well if you follow him on Twitter then you should have some clue.

“The Ecstatic” was supposed to drop June 9 on Downtown Records, but fans will have to wait until August for its release. Oh well, we have to wait a few more months JUNE 9 for some real hip hop music. Check out the video in the multimedia box to the top-right of the page—>.

The show, will air on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 9:00 PM, will commemorate the storied label’s 25 years in the industry, including segments on founders Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons. Also a part of the event, as is now customary, many Hip Hop stars will show to perform some of the label’s biggest hits, both past and present. None of the performers have been announced as of yet.

The sixth annual event will be hosted by comedian Tracy Morgan for the third time in a row.

Check out this clip from last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as he slow jams the news with his house band, The Roots. Funny Stuff. Oh yeah, speaking of late night, shout out to Conan O’Brein and his first Tonight Show taping yesterday.

Bruno was being flown out (wings and all) over the crowd on a rope in the rafters to present an award. There was a malfunction and he had to be lowered down into the audience. Well, he just happened to land on Eminem, and in a very compromising position. Oh yeah, let’s just say the Bruno’s cheeks were not exactly covered. Needless to say, a brief exchange ensued between Em’s crew D12 and an upside down hanging Cohen, then Eminem stormed out of the arena.

Was it real or was it an elaborate set up? Brunois a new film coming out this summer so of course Cohen wants to publicize it. But I find it hard to believe that Eminem would willingly participate in a stunt like that, unless it is to help him sell more records (as if needs help). If you haven’t seen it, I’m sure you can find it on youtube or some innynet video site. What do you think? Real or Staged?

I saw Terminator on Monday and thought that it was much better than the initial reviews that were coming in last week. The story line was intact and not too confusing (time travel always brings in some element of confusion but it was handled well here). Action sequences were handle well. I think that overall the acting in the film was OK, I mean nobody’s getting any nominations for it (Oscars or Razzies). It’s a summer action flick, what more do you expect?

I think Common could’ve done a little better job with the small role that he had. I really just didn’t believe him as Connor’s right hand man Barnes. For the most part, it just seemed like Common dressed up in some post-apocalyptic army gear, acting out the part, but not becoming Barnes. I think he has time to improve though and with the amount of roles he’s being offered he has plenty of chances.

Overall, I give Terminator Salvation a B. It’s worth droppin’ the A. Hamilton on to fulfil your summer action fix.
