Food: Homegrown Tomatoes Taste Better (Video)
August 31, 2018
My Dad was a sharecropper through late his preteen years before his family moved to Tuskegee. The farmer in him meant we would have a pretty big garden every year, overflowing with tomatoes. They were not heirloom tomatoes like these, but those ‘maters did taste different. Guess that is no surprise. Homegrown vs. storebought, you know… It’s just that this video gives a ‘fullness’ to the argument that I cosign. Check it out.
Ever wonder why homegrown tomatoes taste so much better than ones you buy in a store? Renowned seed saver and farmer John Coykendall hits it out of the park with this explanation – and shows how heirloom veggies, like tomatoes, link us to our ancestors!

Franchesca Ramsey Declares That It Is Time For These Black Female Stereotypes To Die (Video)
August 31, 2018
Hahaa! This reminded me of the ‘Black Acting School’ part of Robert Townsend’s “Hollywood Shuffle” (with White ‘instructors’ insisting that ‘students’ act ‘Blacker’… like ‘jive turkey mothaf**ckas’). Sharp commentary in that, too. Watch Franchesca’s commentary on long-standing Black Female stereotypes in media.
Ever notice how black women in media tend to looped into a few basic stereotypes? Like, get portrayed as the sassy friend who has an instant comeback for everything, or the over-sexualized woman who wants it all the time, or the helpful Black maid. Well, these stereotypes don’t come from nowhere. And on this Season 3 throwback episode of MTV Decoded, Franchesca “Chescaleigh” Ramsey shows where they come from and explains why they need to be buried good and deep.

(I think she could have ‘stuck it’ to reality TV a bit more. There’s one obvious culprit right there.)

Comedy: Black Superman Vs. Hispanic Superman (Video)
August 31, 2018
Who knew that this Superman game got this deep, mane? Well, these two did obviously. Hilarious! They went there from jump (or should I say ‘leap’… as in ‘tall buildings in a single bound’… get it… anybody?).
It’s a head-to-head matchup between Rudy Mancuso & King Bach to see which Man of Steel reigns supreme.

Texas Congressman Gives Perfect Answer To ‘Take A Knee’ Question (Video)
August 31, 2018
Seems like this was a ‘take the bait’ question, a political landmine, more so than an actual question to gain clarity or understanding of the Representative’s view on the issue of #TakeAKnee
But like an OG, Representative Beto O’Rourke gave a perfect answer. Any remaining opponent to the peaceful protest, after hearing this argument, is choosing NOT to understand. The issue was made plain and clear here. Watch.

Comedian Bill Burr Believes A Bit More ‘Kid Smacking’ Might Lead To A Lot Less ‘Smack Talk’ From Kids Today (Video)
August 30, 2018
Okay, so Bill is roundabouts my age. And it shows in his rants (we old, and old-school man). it might get a li’l uncomfortable for some millennial new school parenting advocates out there to watch his clip, but here it is.
Bill is nostalgic for a time when parents hit their children and you didn’t have to believe all women.

Kanye West Tears Up On Live Radio. Takes A Moment… (Video)
August 30, 2018
You know. There were comments on the ‘Tube to bear this out… maybe Yeezy needs to break from all this. For just a while at least. It’s one thing to be a true ‘original thinker’ or societal outsider or enigma. But when that ‘being yourself’ breaks you down like this, whether we judge it to be ‘real enough’ or not #BreakTime

August 29, 2018
Bun B is indeed the Trillest in the game. Needs no introduction (just let whoever doesn’t know about him why they should… later… in private). Watch the OG’s interview.
Hip-Hop icon Bun B prepares for the release of his latest album ‘Return of The Trill.’ He stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about his legacy, personal struggles in his career and what DJ Ready Red contributed to Houston Hip-Hop.

Interesting political insights from the OG in here, too.

B.A.G. – “Nasty” (Video)
August 29, 2018
B.A.G. is Blimes And Gab; specifically, the duo of San Francisco’s Blimes Brixton and Seattle’s Gifted Gab. “Nasty” is nice work on a boom-bap approach to a non-boom bap beat.
(The tempo matches up for a boom bap track though, might be worth dropping their vocals on a Golden Era beat… Hint, hint to the remix gods out there.)

Dope vibe to the song and visuals. Plus, the R2D2 in there… just seems to fit when you roll with a Star Wars’ish name like Rogue Dynamo. Kinda of digging this jawn “Right Now.”
