We went to check out the BMI Urban Awards last night for some real authentic urban entertainment. It kinda felt like a 106 & Park virtual reality experience (after not watching it for over a year), with sounds, sights and scents (eeew) reminiscent of the A!!! Shouts out to Atlanta who was DEFinitely in the house rackin up all the awards… well, the half that T-Pain didn’t scoop up for self. That dude’s percentage of the 900 million BMI made this year has gotta be close to half if not more!! Crazy.
We frospotted Plantlife’s Jack Splash while hanging during the pre-show…
and got a extra special treat w/ the Jabbawockeez from MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew doing their part of the night’s Jackson 5 tribute. They rocked silver versions of their trademark masks and AFROS! Check out this “Dancing Machine” clip we captured at the show…
In the house accepting the honors were all the Jacksons, sans Michael (bummer) - but it was cool to see all the brothers AND Janet, LeToya and Reba and mama and papa J. We were up top so really only got pix of the screens…
& I dunno why, but I saw this in the girls bathroom and it just kinda summed up the awards for some reason!

As we get ready to watch Barack accept his nonimation tonight, we’re reminded that there’s always “Pros & Cons” to every great story. Check this out by BET News, co-produced by our frolaborator Catherine Rogers!
LOCKED OUT: EX-CONS & THE VOTE
premieres FRIDAY AT 11:30P with an encore SUNDAY AT 1:30PTune-in to find out why millions of Black people will not be able to participate in this year’s election.
BET News takes an investigative look at disenfranchisement policies that have marginalized an estimated 5.3 million American citizens. Although some debate exists as to whether there remains racist intent in our country’s criminal justice practices, there is no question that certain policies adversely affect the Black community more than any other group in America.
Producers: Catherine Rogers and Samson Styles

I grabbed my slightly dysfunctional camera and frospotted some fresh art, cool people and good tunes at the 55 DSL store for the Seen on Audio exhibit. It was packed. Pete Rock was once again providing the right kind of head bop everyone could appreciate. The artists threw a fresh spin on the wall- And I even spotted a tea cup doggie sippin some Stella and snappin his paws to the Sound of Art (for this- you’ll have to check out frotos here…)

What up people, this is Frolab SF checking in, It’s been a great week here.
Lot’s of great parties since the Rock the Bells concert last weekend, as I
write this post I can hear Radiohead playing in Golden Gate park for the
Outside Land concert this weekend. This is the first time ever that there
has been a performance after dark in GG Park! It’s a big deal! It makes me
think of RTB and the performances this and last year, check it!
The Pharcyde(reunion), WOW!
Super Natural (then)
Super Nat (now), Hit up Rubixpress for more flicks!
