Comedy: Watching Too Much Battle Rap Can Lead To This (Video)
February 27, 2018
Baaahahaa! Okay, that “BODY BAG!” move? Might have to try that on a bae. And that toilet “getting that work” – that Loaded Lux sh!t (literally) – that might happen on the next sit-down jawn in the john (ha)! Or… maybe we should lay off watching all those battle rap videos #BARZ
We all know what its like when you start watching battle rap. You mess around and 2 or 3 hours have gone by.
Maaaan, I done messed around and watched too much URL and now I can’t stop using the slogans around the house and in my everyday life.. Maaan, I think I’m going crazy

Roxanne Shanté Biopic Debuts March 23rd On Netflix (Trailer)
February 27, 2018
A Roxanne Shanté biopic, with Nia Long in there. Two good reasons to get that Netflix hookup popping ASAP if not sooner! Interesting pick for next Hip-Hop movie story. Would not have predicted it, but looking forward to it. Also starring Chanté Adams and Mahershala Ali. Check out the trailer.
In the early 1980s, the most feared battle MC in Queens, New York, was a fierce teenage girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders. At the age of 14, Lolita “Roxanne Shante” Gooden was well on her way to becoming a Hip-Hop legend as she hustled to provide for her family while defending herself from the dangers of the streets.
– Netflix
The real Roxanne Shanté is actually an executive producer. And Forest Whittaker is attached. Very interesting!

Tracy Morgan Stars In “The Last OG” (Series Trailer)
February 26, 2018
This new TBS series seems to be a really good look for Tracy Morgan’s return to television, esp. with Tiffany Haddish (making it even a ‘gooder’ look, sexy) who still has a hot iron to strike with.
Tray (Tracy Morgan) is an ex-con who is shocked to see just how much the world has changed when he is released from prison for good behavior after a 15-year stint. Returning to his newly gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood, he discovers that his former girlfriend, Shay (Tiffany Haddish), has married an affable, successful white man (Ryan Gaul) who is helping raise the twins (Taylor Mosby and Dante Hoagland) Tray never knew existed. Wanting nothing more than to connect with his kids, but having neither the money to support them nor himself, Tray falls back on the skills he learned in prison to make ends meet while treading unfamiliar territory.

Can a marriage recover from cheating? Cheating involving a public figure that becomes a public thing???

Kooley High – “Ceiling”
February 23, 2018
Cool as a fan, nodding while under the “Ceiling” fan, while the weather is still kinda crisp outside… that’s the feel you ought to get while vibing to these Kooley High beats & lyrics (and harmonizing).
“Ceiling” is the first single from Kooley High’s anticipated album “Never Come Down.” The track gives the listener insight into the mind of an artist fighting to make it to another level… and stay there. Charlie Smarts and Tab-One kick infectious flows over the Foolery-produced track, while DJ Ill Digitz‘ sharp cuts set the vibe and pay homage to legends Outkast. “Ceiling” is sure to build anticipation for this 9th Wonder Executive Produced album, set to drop on 3/30/18.
