Pharrell And Others Talk Virginia, Influences, Memories And More (Video)
Beats 1 and OTHERtone studio was loaded down with the Down South: Pusha T, D.R.A.M. and Fam-Lay. And, hey, Pharrell Williams. It doesn’t get much more VA than that player.
Pharrell Williams and Scott Vener in the OTHERtone studio with Pusha T, D.R.A.M. and Fam-Lay. Tune in on Beats 1 every other Sunday at 12PM PT / 3PM ET.
Ludacris And Tyrese Speak On Recent Media Controversies, The Latest ‘Fast & Furious’ Movie And More (Video)
Ha! Pepsi AND Bill O’Reilly are both under fire, and they both dissed the sh!t out of Ludacris back in the day. Now Luda is doing pretty damn good… and they are NOT! Ohhhhh, success is the BEST revenge!
Tyrese & Ludacris keep it all the way 100 in The Breakfast Club studio, talk new music, “Fate of the Furious” & More.
And coming for Tyrese about weave, fake butts and such is not the best move. His rebuttal game is on point. Maybe don’t hate on a dude solely for expressing opinions and living life. He is not your boyfriend, nor is he feeding you or your fam.
(But they are gonna go all the way up to a 10th ‘Fast & Furious’ movie though? Whoa.)
Dave Chappelle And John Mayer’s On-Stage Tribute To Charlie Murphy (RIP) [Video]
Wow. Dave Chappelle surprises the crowd at a John Mayer concert and this happens. Yep, the ‘White People Dancing’ tag team from Chappelle Show, Season 2, Episode 3, reunites one more time… and do a tribute for Charlie Murphy (say it like Dave doing ‘Rick James’ b!tch in your head), who the world recently lost after his prolonged battle with lukemia.
Yeah, Dave Chappelle and John Mayer chat, share a couple of chuckles and make a memory for Murphy that they share with the crowd.

SNL: ‘President Trump’ Gives His Supporters Answers (Video)
Saturday Night Live is absolutely killing it! This spoof of ‘The President’ telling his loyal supporters about everything that’s gonna be JUNKED! is everything. Another bowl of delicious finger chili anyone? Bahahaaa!
President Donald Trump (Alec Baldwin) meets with supporters (Mikey Day, Beck Bennett, Kyle Mooney, Aidy Bryant) in Kentucky’s Boone County.

BJ The Chicago Kid Is Asked, “Why Does Future Mumble?” And More On ‘Arts & Raps’ (Video)
BJ The Chicago Kid said Future has a sippy cup… aaaand that’s where we get started with some serious snapping!! Then the kid (not BJ, one of the others) disses Hov… Yoooo! This video is hardcore, funny and more.
Rising and soulful singer, BJ The Chicago Kid, joins the show to answer, “Why Does Future Mumble?” See an interview of a lifetime in this week’s episode of All Def Digital’s Arts and Raps!
Plus, the kid can carry a tune. Great episode of Arts and Raps.
(And c’mon Hollywood. Make that ‘Equalizer’ sequel and cast BJ as the star; defending the hardware store against another gang of bad guys. Call it ‘Equalizer II: Security And Justice For All!’ Cut the check, and send it here. The kids’ll love it!)
Comedy: Louis C.K. Hosts ‘Saturday Night Live’ (Stand-Up Monologue) [Video]
Yes. That’s right. That’s right. That’s appropriate.
You know how every now and then you will see a Louis C.K. post on here? Think that is an accident?
Okay, that was rhetorical. Hell naw it ain’t no accident! Louis C.K. is one of the funniest comedians out today. Point. Blank. Period. FACTS!
I have been watching and laughing for years. Louis is SURGICAL at touching nerves that should be touched while extracting laughter. And his shows are loaded with line-stepping; a feat he performs without fear, and in ways very few comedians can equal.
Exhibit A… THIS! Louis C.K. was the guest on SNL giving the audience the business! Going right in with a chicken, a Black guy, and racism…
Wait what!!!
You gah-damn right you’re gonna watch now… and thoroughly enjoy! Keep in mind, this is just the opening monologue.

Joey Bada$$ Says New York Hip-Hop Is Stale And New York Radio Is Not Helping (Video)
Respect to Joey Bada$$. We listen to him on that mic because when he touches mics, he continually earns that respect. Take in what he is saying about the stagnation in Hip-Hop. What he is saying about how things must and do change, including Hip-Hop. Caution: It’s gonna sting a bit of you are a boom-bap-over-trap or new-stuff-is-not-real-rap proponent. There must be a righteous middle ground though. Joey calling old heads on holding the youth in the game back… saying that to ‘Old Man Ebro‘… that’s some live and direct sh!t. But as an early 20-something who’s pretty much a vet, we have to let him say it.
Maybe we should really try to give space on the established (read: old) channels for new artists out here.
Now, of course, there is much more to this interview. But that part packs a punch.
(Okay, Joey. Message received. But we reserved the right to trash trash music.)
Comedy: Who Wins When Jimmy Fallon Lip Sync Battles Shaquille O’Neal? (Video)
We all win!
Okay, so you read the title and you think: Shaq used to rap and he was always clowning during NBA All-Star Weekend game intros and hamming it up for the crowds… AND Fallon has done tons of musical fun stuff on his show. Ought to be pretty entertaining. And you’d be absolutely RIGHT!
Jimmy faces off with Shaquille O’Neal, with a surprise appearance by Pitbull, in a hilarious lip sync-off to songs like Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative,” Ariana Grande and John Legend’s “Beauty and the Beast” and House of Pain’s “Jump Around.”
So, surprise: Pitbull! But what most of us probably perpetually underestimate is just how far and fast Jimmy will ‘go there’ to get laughs and wows from the audience. Case in point, this clip. Hahaaaa!
All Eyez On Me (Latest Trailer)
“All Eyez On Me” is not just a career-making album anymore. Soon, it will be the go-to for convos on the life & times of one Tupac Amaru Shakur. The dude that plays Tupac, great casting. They got the dude that played Biggie from “Notorious” to reprise his role. But look at the dude playing Suge Knight though. Ringer!
James Corden ‘Coaches’ Stephen Curry To Be The Best Leisure Athlete And Car Singer He Can Be! (Video)
Carpool Karaoke. That’s what Steph has been DREAMING about. And guaranteed, when he and James live the dream, your day will be made!!
James Corden heads to Northern California to spend time with Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, and the two play some mini golf and take a ride in the carpool lane with some Disney songs.
If you find a way to hate on this video, congratulations. You win the Lifetime Hater award. Enjoy a bitter rest of your life. The rest of us will be headed toward happiness because this is awesome!
Detroit Artist-Producer Tall Black Guy Speaks On His ‘Playlist Retreat’ Experience (Video)
At first, watching this we’re going, “Really, Tall Black Guy. You feel the need to tell folks WHO The Magnificient DJ Jazzy Jeff is.” Then we think about it… Jeff has had an INCREDIBLE career that spans DECADES… appreciated by fans who were barely walking (or not even conceived) when he was with The Fresh Prince on the reg. So cool. Also cool, and very appreciated, is this clip of TBG speaking on how dope it was being at DJ Jazzy Jeff’s annual Playlist Retreat.
Dope! If you look back on here, TBG did a li’l som’n som’n on the 2015 event #DownSinceDayOne
Former NBA Player Kenny Anderson’s New Documentary Film “Mr. Chibbs” (Trailer)
One of the best pure point guards in the NBA.
That’s Kenny Anderson. And that’s a hell of an intro for a basketball player… drunk driving, womanizing, babymaking machine. And balancing it all, reflecting on and coming to grips with it all, and the journey forward as a sober, responsible man and father… ought to make for one hell of a documentary.
Yep. Call the movie “Mr Chibbs.” Looks like a slam dunk for a must watch.
Louie CK’s Got Shots For Trump, Obama, Non-Voters… And Jokes & Chat For Stephen Colbert (Vote)
One dude… Just ONE dude in the Colbert audience admitted to being a Trump supporter. WHERE are all these voters for President Trump (rhetorical, please don’t feel compelled to respond). Hilarious, but somehow still thoughtful & thought-provoking, host Stephen Colbert has Louie CK on the show – talking Trump and more.
Louis CK regrets comparing Donald Trump to Hitler. But he’s not going to take it back.
Interestingly enough, CK (who is clearly NOT a President Trump supporter) expressed sympathy for the sole supporter of The Donald; sorry that dude and those of his ilk fell prey to a ‘Dirty Rotten Lying Sack Of Sh!t’ (Louie’s words).

Snoop And Gabriel Iglesias ‘Huff & Puff’ And Talk About Stuff On GGN (Video)

‘Ride Along’ with NBA Icon & Former Philadelphia 76’er Julius ‘Dr J.’ Erving (Video)
Yooooo! Two of the hoop game’s greatest getting to the pawing, furious with the fisticuff stuff, on the floor back in the day. Different kind of b-ball Hall Of Fame moment to be certain!
We met up with Julius Erving at All-Star Weekend to discuss the ABA, his infamous fight with Larry Bird and the evolution of dunking from the free throw line.
Plus we get Dr. J speaking about ‘The Rucker.’ Good interview. All that and a pair of Converse. Philly!
‘Sneaker Shopping’ With Shoe & Microphone Fiend Joey Bada$$ (Video)
His dream shoe might be the All Day I Dream About… ya know. But you gotta dream about a possible dream collaboration between Joey Bad and ADIDAS. If you are into the shoe game heavy, that is.
Joey Bada$$ goes Sneaker Shopping with Joe La Puma at Alumni in Brooklyn, and talks growing up as a Jordan head and the mix of sneakers with politics.
Interesting. Joey comments on the former First Daughter from last administration rocking a Pro Era tee. Then he comments on Under Armour’s honcho stumping for the current President, Donald Trump. Kinda makes Joey Bada$$ a two-term political pundit. When it comes to apparel maybe. Maybe.
Ha! Watch and learn a bit Joey’s aspirations (non-political, basketball), choices in kicks (including a possible pick for his pops) and more.
Rewind: Judge Joe Brown Says James Earl Ray Didn’t Assassinate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Video)
It’s been almost 50 years to this date, April 4th, that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated in Memphis Tennessee.

To this very day Judge Joe Brown still believes “he didn’t kill him.” Judge Joe Brown says he didn’t believe Ray was the gunman despite his guilty plea.
