Travel/Business: 50 Cent And Hostel World Want You To Meet The World (Video)
May 25, 2016
If 50 is speaking on it, it’s money in it. Facts. Looks blingy and nice and all… but the pitch floats a little wide and high when Fif is selling the nickel-plated railed ‘tour bus’ style beds. More ball (e.g. out of the strike zone) than ‘baller.’ But we all can’t ball out overseas. However, Hostelworld is saying we can all have somewhere to stay and ‘Meet The World’ … through its enthusiastic spokesperson 50 Cent.

Comedian Louis CK Puts White Privilege In Perspective (Video)
May 23, 2016
3 brilliant minutes from Louis CK on white privilege. Wrapping ugly truths is comedy is a gift.https://t.co/bND8oBTMN4
— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) May 20, 2016
Preach!
This is dope. Okay, if you are not already, get into the comedy of Louis CK. He goes HARD with his brand of social commentary; not so serious that you will not get in a gut-busting chuckle, but you definitely get the point. And he does not just save it for the stage. Here he is giving it to Jay Leno and his audience a while back. White privilege is real; too real.
And anyone who says America’s history of slavery is way in the country’s rearview, f#ck you! See? Too strong, Gotta mix that sh!t in with some comedy, like Louis does. Watch.
(Shout out to Shaun King for the Twitter chatter that matters.)

Kanye Keeps It Real With Ellen (Video)
May 20, 2016
Kanye West went School Of Life professor on Ellen’s audience. Teach! As much as clips show up across the ‘webs of Yeezy going loose cannon, from Kanye’s canon (delivered in clips like this) folks could really learn to live life with passion. Passion that he speaks AND demonstrates…
I care about people. I care about… My Dad lived in homeless shelters less than five years ago… to find out he’s a psych major. My Mom was the first Black female chair of the English Department of Chicago State University. I was raised to do something; to make a difference!
– Kanye West
Check out a clip of Kanye’s sit-down with Ellen. More after the jump.
