TYT’s Francis Maxwell Speaks On The NFL’s Disgraceful Ban On Kneeling (Video)
May 29, 2018
… regardless, let’s just cut through the sh!te, shall we?
We got a whiff and posted on the NFL’s kneel ban days ago. Now NFL Commish Roger Goodell puts it all the way out there… No longer speculation, the ban is out there. Watch TYT’s Francis Maxwell speak on it, and make a helluva good point: The League is FULL of Black players whose interests are repped by this LAWFUL, PEACEFUL protest. Goodell and the NFL owner cadre are essentially telling them to bow down, by insisting that they either stand for the anthem or stay off the playing field until they learn to ‘act right’… or get hit in the pockets.
NFL Bans Kneeling. So Much For Free Speech, Right?

Keeping some pay to keep the ‘workers’ in check. Talk about a payCHECK… Wowwwww!

‘Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate’ At The Royal Wedding (Video)
May 28, 2018
Above: It’s an epic mashup of then vs. now, reality vs. surreality, church vs. chu’uch, and formal vs. funny!
For the one or two of you who have not, go see Eddie Murphy Randy Watson (and Sexual Chocolate) do the damn thing in “Coming To America” FIRST. You MUST have that performance in mind BEFORE you watch this mashup.
And if you peeped video of the Pastor’s speech at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding already, you are really going to crack the f**k UP!
Big ups to whoever did this #Hilarious

Pusha T Speaks On How “Daytona” Got Made And What To Make Of The Drake Diss Track (Video)
May 28, 2018
The recording process is intense, extensive, and expensive AF… apparently. At least for what went into this Pusha T project (entitled “Daytona”). Visual for the radio (above) covers that and the “Infrared” jawn, face-to-facing with Baby, the Drake thing and more.

Robert Reich Raises The Question: Is Trump The Worst President In History? (Video)
May 28, 2018
Wonder how he really feels. Joking! There is no doubt about Reich’s position on President Trump’s performance and his place among the ranks of U.S. Presidents throughout the country’s history.
America has had its share of crooks (Warren G. Harding, Richard Nixon), bigots (Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan), and incompetents (Andrew Johnson, George W. Bush). But never before Donald Trump have we had a president who combined all these nefarious qualities.

Science: What Did Tyrannosaurus Rex Actually Sound Like? (Video)
May 28, 2018
No… we did not discovery time travel, or some reeeeeaaally old recording device that survived the eras since the dinos fell. It’s science! See how scientists put together a plausible sh!t-your-pants sound bite (er… if there were, say, pants way back then) for what the big reptile chomper could have sounded like. Peep.

Drake – “Duppy Freestyle”
May 28, 2018
Did you hear the Drake diss track going at Pusha T & Kanye West yet? Purely rhetorical question… Of course, you did! So, ummm… what to you think? Do you agree that Drake bodied King Push so hard that there is no coming back? Apparently, this is long-coming payback for Pusha T’s slick talk on that “Infrared” joint. But did ’nuff punchlines land to knock Push out?
The 1923 Rosewood Massacre: 3-Part Mini-Documentary (Video)

Event: Hip-Hop Stew Launch Party
May 25, 2018
Was checking out Techniques Radio on WREK.org last night and they got the word out on this Hop Stew Launch Party. Looks like a good look for the long weekend. Consider chilling and partying with a cause for at least part of this party weekend. More, much more, at HopStew.com but here’s a good blurb on the event…
Hop Stew Launch will be a fun-filled day party with performances from Hip-Hop legend El Da Sensei of The Artifacts, Shabaam Sahdeeq, John Robinson, Beneficence, Stahhr and Phoenyx. It’s going to be a boom bap extravaganza for true Hip-Hop lovers! Our launch will be hosted by Fort Knox! Music will be provided by DJ Dug Boogie and DJ Fudge. Patrons can enjoy an amazing art exhibit. Hop Stew will be donating a portion of all funds raised at launch to the Kidney Foundation. In 2016, our beloved Dug Boogie was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which there is no cure for. Boogie needs a kidney transplant. So, one can only imagine why The Kidney Foundation is a cause dear to our hearts. The launch is geared towards raising funds and awareness. Hop Stew is Hip-Hop for a cause!

“You don’t care.”
Yep, the co-host on ‘Get Up’ got it right – straight shooting on the NFL’s issue-dodging stance on kneeling during the National Anthem. ‘Nuff said by me. I’ll let her speak on it #EffTheNFL #StillStandingWithKaep #TakeAKnee

May 25, 2018
You know those Toe Shoes they got where the shoes fit your feet like a five-fingered glove. Looking crazy to all but to all those who wear them (and be wearing them out). But this… a whole other shoe… or un-shoe. As close to barefoot as you can get.
These adhesive pads allow you to walk barefoot without damaging your feet.

President Trump More Compassioniate Toward Pundit Tomi Lahren Than To People Victimized By School Shootings (Video)
May 25, 2018
Y’all ever check out a video or three from uber-Conservative cute-but-ugly-talking ‘girl gone viral’ Tomi Lahren. Well, she’s usually the one calling out the wrongdoers and the waah-waah crybabies on The Left (Progressives, Liberals, Democrats, folks who disagree with her views). But here she is in the ‘victim’ role… again. Charlemagne Tha God might have found cause to make a case ‘for’ her a while back, but check out The Breakdown that Hasan Piker puts on her… and The President.
Our wetboy president Donald J. Trump showed more compassion to Tomi Lahren getting water thrown at her than victims of school shootings and the waffle house hero. Hasan Piker breaks down why Conservatives who spread hate speech whine about oppression at the first sight of backlash.
– The Breakdown
Oh, and Piker points and fires off on some other hot topics, like the NFL’s stand against #TakeAKnee (we posted on here).

Eye Candy: Moriah Mills (Video) [NSFW]
May 25, 2018
Wowwwww, they reeeally expand the meaning of ‘model’ for this YouTube upload, eh? For those of you not knowing, this is Moriah Mills. And she is a model, with all kinds of re-THICK-ulous body. But that vibe you get from watching this montage… like she does a bit more than ‘model’… yeah, trust your instincts. And trust there is soooo much more to see of Moriah with just a simple Google search.
But since I already know what’s up, I’m gonna watch and see what’s up with this video… AGAIN #WOWZERS
(Got the Not Safe For Work stamp on this more so for Moriah’s other occupation, and for you to avoid the judgments your nosy coworkers, than anything she actually shows off in the clip.)

Sports/Politics: NFL Set To Penalize Players Who ‘Take A Knee’
May 24, 2018
New NFL policy will require players on the field for the anthem to show the anthem and flag “appropriate respectâ€. Teams, not players, can be fined for not adhering. Will allow players to stay in locker room for the anthem, teams to set their own rules under conduct detrimental.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 23, 2018
Well, would you look at that? Not even claiming to be all that surprised or shocked that the NFL and owners found a way to appease the majority (White apathetic/unsympathetic Americans) AND get all those who #TakeAKnee with Kaep off the field.
So they have found a way to eliminate a peaceful, yet impactful, protest method (wow). What’s more, it looks like they have cleared the way for teams to ‘deal with’ players who choose not to stand during the National Anthem and presentation. To be clear: The option to stay/observe in the locker is a cop-out in the weakest way. It’s an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ attempt, plain and simple.
But this is NOT out of our minds. We can watch and be mindful of who is NOT on the field during the anthem and presentation of the flag (e.g. those who are still protesting unjust treatment of Black people by the authorities). And what about the core issue; the motivation that drove Colin Kaepernick to take a stand by taking a knee? Wonder if the NFL will call a special meeting, assemble a subcommittee, etc. to enact new policy that speaks to or acts against law enforcement’s abuses of power, brutality, and murder?
I wouldn’t hold my breath.

You told me you wanted some Scarface sh!t…
Scarface when he’s RICH… Not when he’s POOR!
Ha! Bodega Bamz with a hot shot off his LP “P.A.P.I.” He’s just trying to live that life on the ‘Lifestyles Of The Rich’ side, folks. Dare you to watch to the end though. Them selfies ain’t always what they trying to ‘say’… A pic might be worth a thousand words, but the real story won’t take that many to tell. Ha!

Did You See The Lava Flow From Hawaii’s Kilauea Volcano Into The Pacific Ocean? (Video)
May 24, 2018
This is the lava flow this morning in Hawaii. https://t.co/dCqmds5gYo pic.twitter.com/d6jDvPkGMB
— NBC News (@NBCNews) May 21, 2018
Surely you have heard about it. Maybe you’ve even seen footage of the hot lava creeping down hillsides or crossing roads. Looks like something other than what it is… a relatively slow-moving mass of molten rock, melting or burning everything it touches. That said, the news footage I have seen shows folks treating the lava like it’s some novel plaything that is just kinda hot.
Nah, son. This stuff is cooking asphalt and ocean and dissolving steel like it’s nothing. See the footage? Good. That’s about as close as you ever need to get to the lava. Just saying.

Queen’s New Biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody” (Trailer)
May 24, 2018
Okay, so we can mark one dope film coming out in November. Looks like the film will be an epic retelling of the come-up story of Freddie Mercury and Queen.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music, and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury’s lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that was always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.
