Watch A Presentation Of Langston Hughes’ Poem “Let America Be America Again” (Video)
July 11, 2017
Activist poet Langston Hughes wrote this poem, so the words are poignant and so on point. But respect to Oscar-nominated Alfre Woodard for speaking power to them! You feel the power, not by volume or forced tone, but the yearning and resolve she communicates as she reads…
“Let America be America again — the land that never has been yet — and yet must be.”
Appropriate. Just a week after America’s Independence Day. Watch, listen, feel, think. And when the opportunity comes (or you make it), ACT!

Treach Tells The Truth ‘They’ Tried To Hide From Him About His Homie 2Pac’s Assassination (Video)
July 8, 2017
Holy sh!t. This went exactly NOT as Vlad expected, but exactly the way it needed to. Bet money that the hit count on this episode goes nowhere near a million. Mumble rap and booty shake, yes, multimillion views. The truth in tell-it-like-it-is vids like this, HELL NO! But that ain’t gonna stop me from watching and sharing this Treach (of Naughty By Nature) confessional. You should do the same. I would not mind being wrong on this one!
Treach opened up to VladTV about getting the news that 2Pac was shot in Vegas, which he initially thought wasn’t a big deal. However, as time went on, he couldn’t get through to anyone close to the wounded rapper, and Treach said everyone knew to keep him away from the hospital due to his hot temper.
During the conversation, Treach spoke about how hard it was to record “Mourn You Till I Join You” and his thoughts on 2Pac’s murder being the worst kept secret. Hit the above video to hear what he had to say.

Snoop Dogg Welcomes Miguel To The GGN Set (Video)
July 8, 2017
You know an artist spends a career trying to get to that ‘one name level’ right? To get so big in the game, in the fandom overall that people know and call them by one name. Not Patti LaBelle but Patti. Not Michael Jackson but Michael. Not Prince Rogers Nelson but Prince. Well, Miguel came out the gate on that ish! And he is living the rep already. Seems only right, Miguel being from the West-West and all, that Snoop had him over to GGN to talk about his career, coming up and more.
Miguel needs no introduction. The mononymous singer/songwriter has carved out his own lane over the past five years with sexy radio hits, including the Grammy-winning single, “Adorn.”
After three infectious albums, marked by sounds that drew comparisons to Prince, Miguel is truly making the case to take the crown as the king of new wave R&B. As 2017 progresses, he’s coming back with a steady stream of funky new music, including “2 Lovin U,” that’s sure to climb the charts.
To celebrate its rollout, Miguel stopped by the GGN studio, where he played his latest tracks for Snoop and the two chopped it up on everything from performing for the fans to fanning out themselves.

But why was the Stormy Fronts part so short though?? And why was she Stormy Trooper this time?

Flashback: Prodigy Cooks Up In A Bodega (Video)
July 4, 2017
Man. RIP Prodigy. Seeing this… Still hard to believe that he is just not somewhere cooking up another hit or something. Well, here’s something though. Remember how he did that salmon dish he perfected in lock-up? If you liked that (or were, at least, intrigued by it), The P has another dish for you. Watch him do a li’l macaroni som’n som’n. All ingredients straight out the local Bodega.
Really thinking about copping the cookbook; maybe just because.

Have you SEEN La La looking so so DELICIOUS on “Power” on Starz? Have MERCY, she is so fine! Plus, an actually good actor.
LaLa breaks it down with ‘Ebro In The Morning’ on how she feels about Phil Jackson being fired, where her and Melo stand right now, and how she got her first big break.
– Hot 97
Great interview. Real talk. Gotta imagine that her radio background helps her communicate all this so well, too.
Around the 10-minute mark – even the list of friends is HOT, and ‘bye Phil-lecia’ hahaaa!
(Confirmed: La and the homie 4-IZE did ‘live together’ back in the day, just like he rapped on “How’d That Work Out?” She said it in here! Salute to the homie.)

Bruce Lee Showing The Martial Arts Skills In Real Life (Video)
June 27, 2017
That’s right. You read the headline right: Bruce Lee and Ted Wong (his student) square off for a match. Both covered by protective gear, no arrangement made to allow us viewers to see the fighters’ faces. This is that real! Footage from 1967 above showing far less movie magic; and far more real setups, kicks, and punches. Good stuff!

Reneé Tenison (born December 2, 1968) is an American model, actress, and the first African-American selected to be the Playboy Playmate of the Year (1990).

Especially that Reneé Tenison with her fine azz! Above: See her being all that and a bag of chips – plus them cute chocolate nips – (making this vid Not Safe For Work; gotta love YouTube)!

Tiffany Haddish Speaks On Her Movie “Girls Trip,” Her Harrowing Life Journey And More (Video)
June 20, 2017
You know, I have considered comedian and actor Tiffany Haddish a wonderful combination of Honey (Eye Candy) and hilarity for the longest time. Been checking for her – and watching her grow a noteworthy career since the Def Comedy Jam days. She’s popped up in plenty of spots with a hot mic and a chuckling crowd – Starz (Martin Lawrence’s 1st Amendment Stand Up), Comedy Central shows and more.
Tiffany Haddish speaks on “Girls Trip,” escaping death, raising her siblings & more.
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM
Cute. Funny. Definitely both. But her life story. I mean… she tells it in a ‘cute & funny’ way over the course of the interview embedded above… but the only word I have for Tiffany’s story for real… WOW. Watch.

Showtime Will Debut Its Whitney Houston Biopic “Can I Be Me” On August 26th (Trailer)
June 19, 2017
Lifetime shot its shot (with plenty of shots) at telling the story of Whitney. Lots of people were not feeling it… at all. Let’s see how Showtime’s gonna do. Not too bad by comparison, given this “Whitney Houston: Can I Be Me?” trailer. It seems like the film will be intriguing, at least; hopefully, true-to-life. Whitney was a part of the lives of a couple of generations who felt like they knew her and were always wanting to know more. If the story is going to be about her, let it be about her, not about ‘ratings’ (stepping down from soapbox).
Understand legendary superstar Whitney Houston’s story and what lied behind one of the greatest voices of our time. Don’t miss the premiere of the SHOWTIME Documentary Whitney. “Can I Be Me” on Saturday, August 26th at 9PM ET/PT.

Hasan Minhaj Speaks On America’s Fear Of Muslims, Freedom Of Speech, Bill Maher And More (Video)
June 16, 2017
Aw damn. Almost forgot about President Trump’s links to pro wrestling. Hasan Minhaj talks a bit about The Donald (not much left to say after that White House roast he did), his refusal to use the N-word (even though he’s been called a ‘sand N-word’) and more.
Gotta say, Minhaj has got a lot on the ball to be just 31 years of age. Great interview.

I’ll admit that I had not given much thought to stuff like this, mainstream Hollywood’s recognition of Ice Cube’s work, but it’s about time! Now, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer can point to his own star on Hollywood’s Walk Of Fame. That’s cool. Very cool. Congrats, Cube!
