Angela Rye Speaks On Why The Coming Midterm Elections Matter And Kanye Being Down With Trump (Video)
October 26, 2018
The mid-terms are coming up, and you may even have ‘early voting’ going on in your community right now. I’m not going to try to guilt you into anything, but you REALLY ought to vote this go ’round… the local representation is where it’s at. There are no ‘electoral college’ counts; your vote helps chose DIRECTLY – Congress, Governors, local offices, ordinances and amendments are all chosen by your vote.
See? If you did not vote in 2016 and you let President Trump happen… we’re not harping on that anymore. It’s done. And the insanity that the President and Senate just put on the U.S. Supreme Court… that was a ‘done deal’ back in 2016 when Trump won. Your action or lack thereof in 2016 affected 2018 politics which affected your LIFE; if the ‘right to choose’ for your body and yours & your children’s schooling means anything. Cavanaugh is the swing vote on those issues coming before the Supreme Court for the rest of his LIFE!
Okay, okay. I will stop and get down off my soapbox. Just VOTE DAMMIT!
Maybe you will listen to fine as wine and woke af activist Angela Rye tell you why.

How Do You Think Jonah Hill Scored On His ’90s Hip-Hop Test? (Video)
October 25, 2018
So Young M.A tried a 90s quiz, and “passed” it for the most part… But Jonah Hill LIVED the 90s. The proof and homage for such is him doing really good! Evidently, Jonah knows his 90s. Good – seeing as how he’s got that movie coming and such.

Comedy: Deon Cole Admits To Having To ‘Manage His Blackness’ In Public (Video)
October 25, 2018
Shhhhh… Deon Cole. C’mon son! You telling ’em all the keys to the Culture. Facts though, especially in DC, where even though there are lots of Black folk we cannot always be ‘Black folk’ (yanadameen?). And Deon pointing out that thickness ’round town and in the crowd is 100% factual, too. Bet both pockets that memes like ‘Thicker Than Cold Peanut Butter’ are out there now if not soon, too (haha)!

Talking ‘Trash’ And Flipping It Into Treasure With Gary Vaynerchuk (Video)
October 24, 2018
Hustle b!tch. That’s what it’s about and what I have to imagine Gary would tell you himself. But instead, he will show you how to grind and get money to grow your grind up. Too many of us try to get our ‘game up’… Nah son, grow your GRIND up first #JustSaying
In this week’s episode, I snagged some incredible flips for less than $100 that are all now listed on eBay for well over $1000+

Comedy: Dear Racist… Don’t Be Scared. And Don’t Call The Cops. Dial 1-844-WYT-FEAR Instead (Video)
October 24, 2018
Hilarious! Plus, Neicy Nash (always nice) is in this.
In this satirical infomercial, the comedian and actress Niecy Nash plays the inventor of a new hotline, 1-844-WYT-FEAR. The video advertises a phone service for White people to call when they can’t cope with Black people living their lives near them. It’s a real phone number we created so that fearful Whites can call it for advice, about their racism.
– The New York Times
So there you have it ‘fearful Whites’… a dedicated hotline just for you to dial up. Or, you could, maybe, just take a deep breath and a pill and go lay down somewhere or something.

Cree Summer Has Done WAY More The Be ‘Freddie’ On “A Different World” (Video)
October 23, 2018
Of course, a lot of us are going to remember Cree Summer as super-cutie hippie Hillman chick on “A Different World” on NBC back in the day… but “Freddie” has done a LOT of work – in voiceovers. Check it out!
Recognize this voice? That’s right—it’s the sound of your childhood. As the vocal force behind Rugrats’ Susie Carmichael and Tiny Toon Adventures’ Elymyra, Cree Summer has made some of your favorite cartoons come to life.

Jada Pinkett Smith ‘Breaks’ Will At The ‘Red Table’ (Video)
October 23, 2018
I wonder how this ep came to be. I mean, I believe Jada was getting numbers and moving her own ship with her own steam. And while the ‘why’ behind husband Will saying ‘yes’ to a sit-down is a no-brainer, it doesn’t seem to be needed. Perhaps that makes it a bit more authentic: They/Will did not have to do this. But man, did he (one of the best)! Just watch. And these are just ‘outtakes’ (full episode embedded after the jump).
Following months of “Red Table Talk†shooting in their house, Jada Pinkett Smith invites Will on as a guest and he finally realizes the scope of her massive TV show.
Even posted it to his channel.
(Full disclosure: ‘Sesquipedalian’ is one of my favorite five-dollar words!)

Yup. Sound it out, and think about how crazy-sexy-cool Regina is, and you will get it right away.

Mm mm mm. Speaking of can ‘get it’… Regina. Wowzers!

Anderson .Paak Vs. The World’s Hottest… Vegan Nuggets (Video)
October 23, 2018
A vegan version of the Hot Wing challenge? Okay. So this time it’s about the heat, not the meat… Hmm, feels like I ought to say ‘pause’ here. Bwaahahaa!
Anderson .Paak is a critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated singer, rapper, drummer, and producer—but how is he with hot food? Find out as the multi-talented musician scurries up Mount Scoville with host Sean Evans, one hot sauce-drenched vegan nugget at a time. Along the journey, Anderson discusses opening for Beyonce, defends his Coldplay obsession, and gives details on his new Dr. Dre-assisted album, Oxnard, dropping November 16.
– First We Feast
I will say this is probably the funniest convo during a Hot Ones challenge I have watched.

Comedy: When ‘Cosby’ Is Your Cellmate (Video)
October 22, 2018
Hey, you don’t come in this cell with all the filth and foul. Understand that, and share your Jello with your new cellmate, newbie. This is actually hilarious if you can set aside the real-life challenges of Bill Cosby’s incarceration.
(For the record, that fight is not over… because APPEALS process… just saying.)

Styles P & Dave East Discussing If Lyricism Still Matters In Hip-Hop ‘For The Record’ (Video)
October 22, 2018
Does lyricism still matter? In a word, YES! Whether you believe it is ‘necessary’ for a joint to be called ‘real Hip-Hop’ to have it… that discussion being a thing, even today, lets you know that lyricism is still a thing.
Although Yonkers MC Styles P and Harlem rapper Dave East represent two different generations of Hip-Hop, each artist is known for his lyrical prowess. The duo recently teamed up for their joint project ‘Beloved,’ which densely packs vivid street tales throughout its 13 tracks. On the latest episode of ‘For The Record,’ the New York natives sat down with Genius’ Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman to discuss the collaborative album as well as the decline of lyricism in Hip-Hop.

Steve Harvey’s Response To An Audience With A Stuttering Problem Is Literally Therapeutic (Video)
October 22, 2018
Respek on Steve Harvey’s name for this. All this. The sista is beautiful. It was just that her situation was ugly. But it looks like that is about to look up for her.
When an audience member asks about dating with a stutter, Steve opens up about his own personal struggle. This may be the most powerful moment yet.
– Steve Harvey TV
I sooo wanted to start this post with just how fine the sista in this is… But I wanted her to be taken seriously (just as she desires, per the clip). Of course, I did slide her into the Noon spot (because she is definitely some Eye Candy).

Mike Tyson Speaks On His Comedy Show, Mental Health, And Tupac (Video)
October 19, 2018
Crazy to think that if history would have worked out differently, Tupac would likely telling stories about how he was there at the Tyson fights. Instead, we get Iron Mike talking about ‘Pac and the night he was shot. Understandably, this saddens The Champ; as it does us all.
Good interview. You can even fire one up and smoke out while you watch… That way you can truly be like Mike. Haha!

Sports/History: Tommie Smith Raised A ‘Black Power’ Fist During The Medal Ceremony At The 1968 Olympics… With No Regrets (Video)
October 19, 2018
Talk about REPRESENTING! You know the black and white video at the Olympic games back, back in the day, with the raised fists in it? Yes, this guy, that part!
Tommie Smith sits down with Bill Rhoden to discuss the 50th anniversary of his iconic gesture at the Olympics and how it is relevant in these times.
Shout to John Carlos (the other athlete who raised his fist on the podium), too. Watch this though. Great insights on what modern day athletes can and should be doing with their platforms for humanity, applauding Colin Kaepernick for his taking a knee and taking a stand.

Erika Alexander Speaks On Her Road In Life And Her Career So Far And Her Future Outlook For Entertainment And Her People (Video)
October 18, 2018
That title is a mouthful, and I swear it STILL does not begin to address the ground this interview covers. So full DJ Envy couldn’t even stay for the whole thing. Had Erika so ‘full’ talking about it she teared up at one point. And wow, Erika is still so gatdam beautiful… and insightful. Watch and digest. May need to rewind at a couple of points.

October 17, 2018
That’s what makes us Chappelles great… WE KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!
Not before at least ONE more standup special though. He said so above.
In general, more Dave Cha-P please. Indeed! Check out the full stream of his acceptance speech for an award from Harvard. GREAT speech! Great introduction, too.
And just LOOK at the folks Dave is on stage with. WOW! Some awesome company.

Politics: Dave Chappelle Speaks On Kanye West And President Trump (Video)
October 16, 2018
I’m not mad at Kanye. That’s my brother. I love him… I don’t have to agree with everything he says…
– Dave Chappelle
The REALEST talk while still keeping some of the funny in there. We’ve come to expect that from Dave Chappelle. Gotta imagine he has some empathy for an artist who the world has called ‘crazy’ (since he has been there himself).
Comedian Dave Chappelle and Maryland democratic gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous discuss the political divide in the US since President Trump was elected president with CNN’s Van Jones.

Great interview clip! Very thoughtful conversation.

Comedy: ‘Kanye West’ Has Some Words… The Best Words… For ‘President Trump’ (Video)
October 15, 2018
Bwaaaaahahaaaa! Got eeem!
Kanye had to know that that public, very public, White House sit-down with President Trump was going to land him smack dab in the middle of a bunch of memes, spoofs, and other forms of Tom Foolery at his expense. And SNL got it IN on him!

Throwback/Comedy: Redd Foxx (1978 Standup Performance) [Video]
October 12, 2018
You’ve probably seen Redd Foxx be hilarious on ‘Sanford & Son’ on TV, or on ‘Harlem Nights’ with an ensemble cast of Black Hollywood through the late 1980s. But have you had the pleasure of seeing the late great comic do a standup? If not, cross it off your bucket list.
