Amanda Seales After ‘Floetry’… Finding Her Lane And Riding It (Video)
August 14, 2017
Hmm… don’t know why I never made the ‘hey, that’s Amanda Diva‘ realization until she said so in this interview. The ‘Tube tagline says she “Dishes On Floetry, Getting Fired Because Jay-Z, Her Hollywood Come-up & More”… Yeah, yeah, that part… but I tuned in because she was so cute to me on those anti-smoking campaign commercials, and I just wanted to know if the effect of my brain would come anywhere near matching her look’s effect on my eyes.
Check! I am in. Amanda is so HOT, and cool, at the same damn time.

Jon ‘Bones’ Jones Speaks On Defeating Daniel Cormier Again, Being The Champ Again And His Future (Video)
August 11, 2017
Great two-parter from mixed martial artist and champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. Passing out respect to the likes of Anderson Silva and heated (understatement: Jones said he wanted to KILL him at one point) rival Daniel Cormier. Real talk about the reality of competing in MMA. Plus the meme game on Cormier is brutally disrespectful!
Called out Brock Lesnar, did you, Jon? Okay, make that happen. Wonder how that will play after this upcoming Mayweather vs. McGregor event.
Keep going after the jump (Part 2).

Sean Price – “Dead Or Alive” feat. Bernadette Price (Video)
August 11, 2017
Banger! So good it made me tear up a bit. Okay, a lot. The beats and BARS are epic, of course, but that ain’t all. First off, because RIP SEAN PRICE (really do miss him)! Second, because his wife Bernadette is in there give his rhymes and legacy LIFE (she worked with him on tracks when he was still with us). Third, this Brownsville Zoo (think ‘Brooklyn Zoo’ in ODB’s mind in the middle of the best-worst drug dream)…bwaaahaaa!
Plus, shout to Michael ‘Rappingport’ for coming to us with the exclusive on-scene report; The gorilla is loose, and he is spitting that monkey sh!t off “Imperius Rex.” P!

Tyrin Turner Reveals That “Menace II Society” Was An Answer To A Prayer (Video)
August 9, 2017
How crazy is that? Well not too crazy actually, depending on where you hold the power of spirituality in your life. But according to the clip above, the “Menace II Society” opportunity (to play Caine) came along in time to answer Tyrin Turner’s desperate plea to the Heavens from his front lawn; right as moms was really pressuring him to get a job and live a ‘responsible life’ that he did NOT want to live.
Los Angeles actor Tyrin Turner here speaks to VladTV about the chain of events that led to him landing the role of Caine in “Menace II Society,” and the group of actors and musicians he worked with on the film, among them Jada Pinkett, Too Short, and 2Pac. Pac, Turner says, read for a part in the movie but wasn’t happy with his character. “2Pac came into the reading. We all started rehearsing and in the middle of it 2Pac was like, ‘Man, I can’t get into this character.'” Get the full story above.

Lil Duval Says He Is 40, Is Not Politically Correct, And Is Ready To Toss Shots At Sidechicks (Video)
August 9, 2017
Still single… Nah, Lil Duval is just going in and out of blessings. Maybe he can get ‘blessed’ by some Charlotte Sidechicks in this. Hahaaa!
Oh, wait. This is the show that got Duval in all that hot water with his transgender commentary. Alright, shutting it down. Watch and make your own judgments.

Paid In Full: Michael Che Writes A Long Overdue $1,000 Check To Tommy Hilfiger (Video)
August 4, 2017
Turns out America likes comedy about Donald Trump.
– Michael Che
Bwaahahaa! Michael is gonna catch a bit of heat from Boston for this clip, but they’ll get over it. And he got down with Hilfiger like that back in the day due to his tee shirt game? Nice.
SNL’s Michael Che takes a moment to finally thank Tommy Hilfiger for money the designer gave him to work for his company back when he used to design and sell T-shirts on the streets of New York.
– The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Hope that Michael’s Weekend Update show does well on Thursdays. Check it out next week on NBC.

Issa Rae Shares Her Excitement About Season 2 Of “Insecure” And Her Insights On ‘Hoery’ (Video)
August 4, 2017
I wanna spend some precious moments rubbing on Issa Rae’s beautiful skin.
Okay, it’s out there. Is that ‘awkward’ (and if so, does that boost the chances of making that happen)? I’m asking. The answer won’t change my desire to do so though.
Soooo, this is Issa back on the radio with the pre-Season 2 promo for her “Insecure” series on HBO. Well worth catching up on if you have not done so already (only two episodes down this season). Also, hear her addressing Regina Hall’s implication of f*cking her way to the top, insights on women and their hoe phase, and she ‘big ups’ some of her co-stars. Lots in this interview.

Issa Rae Shares Some Of Her Real-Life ‘Awkward Black Girl’ Stories And Talks About Her Her HBO Show ‘Insecure’ (Video)
August 2, 2017
Nice interview short Issa Rae did with Stephen Colbert as she was making the rounds promoting the second season of her acclaimed HBO original series “Insecure.” Have you peeped that yet, by the way? I am withholding judgment overall; some things going on this season I can f**ks with, other stuff not so much… But I am not sure if one of those not-so-much things will trigger a permanent Sunday night channel change for me. We’ll see.
Just had to get that off. Not even the main thing in the clip above.
HBO’s ‘Insecure’ creator and star Issa Rae isn’t equipped with an all-knowing omnipotence to answer any question that begins with ‘Do black people…?’

Bwaaahahaaa! ‘Blaccent’ is gonna be my new word for a while. Girrrrrl!

Watch Royce Da 5’9 ‘Rate The Bars’ (Video)

Some of the ‘ratings’ on this clip surprised me a bit, but others were right on par with what I thought Royce would rate. Still a great content concept and I agree with the scores for the most part.

Darryl ‘DMC’ McDaniels Declares That Having Mental Health Problems Is Not Shameful (Video)
July 26, 2017
My brother, BoneBreaker Jones, and I are constantly talking about this. When you have a health problem, you should get help! Mental health is health, and your health is you wealth. Don’t lose your HEALTH! Mental health problems affect everyone, even the mighty King Of Rock, the Devastating Mic Controller, Darryl McDaniels aka DMC of Run DMC.
No shame. If you need help, admit it and get it! Don’t know where/how? Just start talking and asking people you care about. Ask them to help you get to the right professional. But don’t just ignore the situations you are going through like it’s all good #TalkToSomebody

This is absolute insanity. Just think about how the Hip-Hop timeline, f*ck it all of Hip-Hop reality, would have changed if Bobby Brown and Kool G Rap would have linked for an album… produced by Large Professor no less. In a word, wooowwwww!
Official 247HH exclusive interview with New York City-based Hip-Hop artist Large Professor, where you’ll hear about the Bobby Brown & Kool G Rap album that almost happened…
*Sigh* But for parties and lack of priorities though. Damn.

Just hours after news of Prodigy’s passing got out, Fat Joe was already over at Mass Appeal HQ, so staffers pulled The Don in front of the camera to discuss P’s legacy.
When you talk about the New York sound, you know, nothing is more authentic and true to the New York sound than Mobb Deep… I place [Prodigy] in the Mount Rushmore of Hip-Hop… He’s a real treasure.

Look at Joe. It’s like he cannot believe Prodigy is gone. Neither can we.
