Ice Cube Honored With A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame (Video)
June 15, 2017
I’ll admit that I had not given much thought to stuff like this, mainstream Hollywood’s recognition of Ice Cube’s work, but it’s about time! Now, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer can point to his own star on Hollywood’s Walk Of Fame. That’s cool. Very cool. Congrats, Cube!

Speed Dating Challenge: Teddy Ray Vs. DoBoy (Video)
June 15, 2017
King Of The 6’s versus The Temporary Crip… BWAAAHAHAAAA!! ADD beef is so real, and so funny.
ADD favorites Teddy Ray and DoBoy go at it in this new series where they compete against each other in various, ridiculous challenges. In this episode, Teddy, and DoBoy partake in a speed dating seminar to see who can get the best score from the ladies.
Why oh whyyy do these dudes jank each other so hard, too? The tangerine outfit made DoBoy (aka Thuggs Bunny) target for real though. Haaaaa!

French Montana – “Unforgettable” feat. Swae Lee (Video)
June 15, 2017
French Montana is like a new schooler who reaches back to get it “All The Way Up” with Golden Era greats like Fat Joe and Nas, and do some joints with other new schoolers that might be palatable to 90’s heads (so we can nod to some of the music the kids like today). That “Lockjaw” gave me a look at Kodak Black I might not otherwise have taken. This “Unforgettable”… Okay, Swae Lee. I see you. Might go try some more of your Rae Sremmurd music on the strength of this. Respect.
Good on you, Montana. Trying to keep the generations of the Hip-Hop Nation connected. Like LinkedIn for rappers or something. Ha!
Also, the feel is similar to “Lockjaw”… that ‘the hood is the hood wherever you live’ worldwide feel.

Gal Gadot Wants To Know What Jimmy Kimmel Thinks Of Her Breasts (Video)
June 14, 2017
Kind of a flashback before the movie hit the theaters.
(Well, actually, that’s exactly what this is.)
Gal Gadot, point blank, asks Jimmy Kimmel about her breasts (wow) – something comic book fans have had a big reaction to (because… they’re breasteses)! She talks about her name, recalls the first time she tried on her Wonder Woman costume and more in this clip.

Illa J – “Home” (Prod. By Calvin Valentine) [Video]
June 13, 2017
You are supposed to FEEL good music. That’s what this is. “Home” is a feeling. A wonderful Motown Bluesy feel set to music (produced by Calvin Valentine)… and video. Illa J got this one right. Enjoy this visual for Illa J’s album’s title track. Album due out June 30th but you can pre-order now.
Bugged out that this is my first ever single being released without any rapping in the entire song..Been wanting to do this for so long. As always, Calvin kills it on the production. And to put the icing on the cake, the house I’m sitting in front of on the video is actually the house my parents brought me home to as a baby. It’s home in the most literal sense as I’m surrounded by family, my nieces and cousins. Also in a way showing how I’m the man of my family now since my dad and my brother are gone physically, I represent them both.

Food/Travel: Rare Taiwanese Mutton Dish Is Dangerous And Delicious (Video)
June 13, 2017
Okay, so that blowfish sushi could kill the person eating it. Their choice. But this dish risks (e.g. shortens) the life of the chef?? Daaaamn! That better be some good azz mutton. And (hand raised)… um… what is mutton exactly?
We visited a legendary restaurant in Taiwan! A 72-hour mutton hot pot! Buried under ground for three days heated in a walk in furnace with rice hulls! One of the best meals of my entire life! Make sure to check it out and follow me on Instagram for updates!
– Luke Martin
Well, the food does look good. Gotta admit. Oh, and I Googled it up: Mutton is meat from a sheep that is older than a year, ideally 3 years of age.

To the booth! Method Man, Dave East, Max B, Joe Young and Hanz hopped on that Dame Grease beat and rode it the f#ck out into the street.

Girls Gone Viral: Black Beach Weekend 2017 (Biloxi, Mississippi, USA) [Video]
June 13, 2017
Wowzerrrrs ma’ams and sirs! By now you know, or ought to know, that I am from Alabama. Begs the question of me: WHERE did all them thick Alabama molasses asses in this vid come from, and WHY did they all flood Mississippi like this and not tell me???
Oh, Black Beach Weekend. They still do it like that? Apparently so. And I’ain’even know must be getting old *sigh*
Now, it might just be me, but I must warn y’all that there is a HIGH degree of ratchet roaming about. Not mad at that. Folks getting ratchet provide the best batches (drink, smoke, photos, videos, and all kinds of ASStonishing things). The music you’ll hear is the perfect soundtrack for all that hood hectic (fair warning). Young Black folks going WILD for sure. But I saw some hustlers handling biz, too. Every archetype from the trickster/gambler, to the curbside fry cook, to a weed edibles salesman. Then you see folks walking and flashing the fly liquors and folks riding in the big body vehicles with even bigger rims. All that kind of stuff I remember from back in the day for the most part.
But THEN you get new school star power. Sure, rumpshakers alone will get views. But how about folks who are already viral stars out there? Coming to the stage NOLA’s own PATTIWHACK and Dancing DanRue (around the 7 minute mark) getting live baaaaby with the ‘Peter Piper pick a pan… Yeeeeaaaah!’
Hahaaa! I’m not mad at y’all overall Biloxi (but some YouTube commenters are apparently… chill will’ya… sheezus). Do you! But at least send home some of them juicy ‘Bama yum-yums though.

Why Drake And The-Dream “Shut It Down” As A Team After 2010 (Video)
June 13, 2017
Ha! Read that title and in for the dramaaaaa, huh? Nope. No real drama. Just grown men. Artists who collab’d for a killer cut; whose time was up. Each ‘reaching out’ in their own ways, their ways just didn’t jibe. And thus, no follow-up collaboration. It happens. Dr. Dre and Rakim, R. Kelly and Jay Z… things run their course; some courses shorter than others.
In 2010, The-Dream collaborated with Drake on “Shut It Down” from his album ‘Thank Me Later.’ In this excerpt of the first installment of Genius Level, Terius “The-Dream†Nash explains why the two haven’t worked together since.

Ice Cube Confronts Bill Maher About His Use Of The “N” Word (Video)
June 12, 2017
That’s our word now, and you can’t have it back.
– Ice Cube
Certainly not ‘nothing’ and much ado should be made of it. Uber-Progressive, sh!t-talking talk show host who walks the talk Bill Maher opened the can and got himself into a jam loaded with n-word on a prior show. Bitter n-word use that left a BAD taste in everyone’s mouths, esp. Black people’s). Just used that word like he was one of the the n—
(Nope. Not gonna.)
But you know what? This is a teachable moment. And like an adult, Bill went to the cabinet and took his medicine. He had Michael Eric Dyson AND Ice Cube on the very next show. And they addressed that sh!t. Worked it out. No sugarcoating. Very frank, to the point, grown-folk talk about what Bill knows: It is NOT okay for him (as a White person) to invoke the n-word.
Watch and be impressed how the NWA (irony much?) articulated the matter and what was the matter to Maher and by extension to the millions of people who follow his lead (including many who might be getting a bit too comfortable using the n-word). Teachable moment…
