Lord Jamar And Rah Digga Speak On Female Rappers, The Florida School Shooting, “Black Panther” And Nutrition (Video)
February 23, 2018
Lord Jamar and Rah Digga doing real talk for The Culture. Very relevant, ‘woke’ enough in the right way. Yeah, this “Yanadameen” Godcast (nice wordplay) should be worth an add to your listen rotation (if you have not already).

R&B: Mya – “You Got Me” (Prod. By MyGuyMars)
February 23, 2018
Right before I leave, I’mma give you all you need.
Wow! Got another sizzler from Mya well ahead of the warm months. Still a sexy “It’s All About Me” vibe (can’t believe it’s been 20 years since that dropped), but now we get “You Got Me.” Hmmm… if only, Mya. If only…
The Women Of “Black Panther” Were Clutch (Video)
February 23, 2018
“Black Panther” is dope, no doubt. But let’s not forget… we need to shout that Wesley Snipes “Blade” Trilogy if we are talking first Black superhero movies (even first Black Marvel character movies). Good call out, Tony Baker.
What Up, YouTube Peeps! Welcome to a very special Tony Baker Movie Review. This time, I came right from the theater to review ‘Black Panther.’
– Tony Baker Comedy
Strong hero and villain characters, beautiful women (they had “meat to ’em” indeed, Tony). Good review!
(And stop taking the mask off these characters, Marvel. 4.5 out of 5 saxophones. Solid rating.)

Black Milk – “True Lies”
February 22, 2018
Let’s slide one more in before Black Milk drops that heater “Fever” on us to bring the Spring. “True Lies” goes IN with the groove. You can chill, but the beat-and-chant track won’t let you get ‘comfortable’ over there. Ha!
But enjoy it though.
Bootsy Collins – “Worth My While” feat. Kali Uchis (Video)
February 22, 2018
This is the school for fools in love… Welcome to my Milky Way, baby…
Preach AND teach it, maaaan. Soooo f**king FONKAY! Talk that funky stuff, Bootsy! Smoke ’em if you holdin’… Or you can vibe ’til you’re high if you don’t. Kali Uchis in the funk-a-tron making that sweet, that sweet, that psychedelic funky stuff, too. Give it!
Enjoy the trippy visuals for the title track of Bootsy’s latest album.
Jesse Boykins III – Earth Girls (Prod. By DJ Dahi) [Video]
February 22, 2018
What the…? Is that Rosario Dawson in there?! Okay, you can go get that “Bartholomew” album (see link below) after watching this “Earth Girls” video once. But er… we might stick around and watch again… just to confirm that that was indeed the sultry Ms. Dawson. Her presence and essence goes with the vibe of the music. Soulful. Good work and salute to Jesse Boykins III and DJ Dahi!

Iranian-American Hoda Katebi May Not Be ‘American Enough’ For Some (Video)
February 22, 2018
Wowwww. You know how when you were a kid, your parents taught you what to say aloud and what NOT to say? Even if it is what you are thinking?
An Iranian-American woman was told she didn’t “sound like an American†on live TV.
– AJ+
NO! We cannot continue to allow people call our people’s, Americans’, citizenship… loyalty… whatever… into question because they do not think it lines up with what they think Americans should think, look like, sound like, etc.
She is Iranian-American. Ethnic heritage of Iran; citizen of the United States. End of debate. Unless you want to be ignorant about it and believe that only some American citizens are ‘real Americans.’
That is ‘Murica, folks. That is NOT America. America is FREE. America is TOUGH. America, if we are to believe it actually is the ‘beacon on the hill’ we proclaim it to be… MUST be better than ‘Murica.

SYFY Set To Tell The Story Of ‘The House Of El’ On “Krypton” (Trailer)
February 22, 2018
Okay, I’ll be there for this. Not an avid fan of SYFY series, but the channel has put out a couple of gems. Hope this one is good.
The legacy of the House of El is no longer safe. Brainiac is coming. Rao help us all.
Krypton premieres 3.21 on SYFY.
In particular, I want to see how the ‘House Of El’ will play out. Jor-El – father of Kal-El (aka Superman) – and most of the El ancestry is not known to us; which is good because that means there is a greatly-reduced chance of making fanboys and purists upset.
And there has been talk of the Kryptonian deity Rao on The CW series “Supergirl.” I’m interested in that story angle, too. Seeing as how Superman is pretty much a ‘god’ on Earth… what does a god’s god and religion ‘look like’ in this canon?
Of course, there is Brainiac. If they f**k that story arc up there will be consequences and repercussions!
