15 Unforgettable Soul Train Moments :: RIP Don Cornelius (Video)

Truly tragic news today with word that Soul Train host and creator has died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. And while the world mourns this titan of funk, soul, R&B, disco and hip-hop, we decided the only true way to honor Cornelius is to go back and watch the show he created.

M.I.A. “Born Free” On Letterman w/Martin Rev (Video)

M.I.A. isn’t taking a few bad reviews and one canceled concert sitting down. She hit Letterman last night with a vengeance, taking the stage with Martin Rev of Suicide (who’s “Ghost Rider” sample makes up “Born Free’s” main riff) and her own gang of Slim Shady’s basically telling the haters to get fucked.
