Brainfeeder artist StrangeLoop combines his talent in sound design and animation to create this breathless short film called "Anamnesia."

Remember that captivating film released a while back called The Social Network? You know, the one about Facebook. The one where Justin Timberlake (our boy is on a roll here with the last post) played a rather debonaire Shawn Fanning, the founder of Napster. After witnessing the alarming charisma of this Shawn Fanning character, weren't you like, "Damn. I wish they could make a movie like this about Napster, too." Well! Your wish has been answered. Sorta.

While not a reality based film with professional actors, this upcoming Napster documentary entitled Downloaded appears just as enticing with real world accounts from Shawn Fanning himself, musicians, and other industry insiders. Music lovers will get to see just exactly how this platform revolutionized music and placed a lasting mark on society and politics forever.

Look for it to drop on VH1 (hopefully) soon. Air date is still TBA.

High fives to the lovely folks at Okayplayer for sharing.

Frank Ocean yesterday dropped a new tune on his Tumblr called "Wiseman." According to The Fader, the song was originally intended for the upcoming Quentin Tarantino flick titled Django Unchained. The song unfortunately didn't seem to find a naturally fitting place in the film, however, and went unused on the soundtrack.

Doesn't mean we can't enjoy it, though! Dig the sparse production with the lone guitar vibrato, too - actually adds intensity to the emotion.

Stream "Wiseman" on Frank's Tumblr.

Our boo Erykah Badu is in a new black cowboy flick called They Die By Dawn. The cast is quite drool-worthy, also including Michael K. Williams ("Omar" from The Wire), Rosario Dawson, Giancarlo Esposito, Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy), and Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy). Written and directed by none other than Jeymes Samuel, this ought to be a real treat and have a killer soundtrack.

As we all know, the history of sampling in hip hop can go pretty deep. Here is a film about the people you "always heard but never heard of." In 1973, a politician, a gangster, a visionary, a football legend, and a murderer's path's intersected to birth the most unlikely source of music.

The documentary features interviews from Questlove, Afrika Bambaataa, and others.

Watch the trailer for Sample This above and gear up for what sounds like one hell of a ride.
