Damon Dash Speaks On His Cousin Stacey Dash ‘Cooning’ For Cash On Fox News (Video)
January 28, 2016
That’s her job right now: To evoke emotion on that platform… Either way, she’s my cousin.
What Dame is on: Yes, associate the name Dash with cash, but NOT with ‘coonery’… and NOT with Republicans! Well, say what you want about Damon Dash; but he is going to say what he is going to say and mean it. Family or not.
Above he goes straight ahead on the hot topic of the minute – the craziness his cousin Stacey is spitting on Fox News (especially against BET) for the entertainment of White people. But the balance and majority of the interview is about his business and movie moves on deck. Good watch!

January 27, 2016
Alvin & the Chipmunks… I used to love that n!gga when he sang.
– Akon
WHAT?? Outstanding Montreality interview with Akon. Yup Alvin was a BLACK chipmunk (ye’en even know did ya? HAHAHAAAAA)! Good student without even trying for real, hustled up that bread since a youth (slanging them goo-goo clusters and creme cakes and flipping chips, son)… had “Locked Up” popping back in the day even before getting Styles P to lace in the verse… Giving due respect to Kendirck Lamar, Drake, Kanye West… So much good stuff in the clip above.

A damn good 15 minutes of watching right from the start! Is there a downside to being the brother of the late great J Dilla (besides him not being here, of course)? Fam, there’s a downside to everything. But there were lots of good things and times, too. Honest talk with Peter Rosenberg from the younger Yancey.
Illa J Discusses New Album, the Downside of Being J Dilla’s Brother and his own come up in music on Real Late.

Sweet Yeezus, have mercy! This girl is THIS sexy, has a fetish for fries AND loves Tupac (‘She was just in diapers when he was rocking). And I’m s’posed to be a dirty ol’ man for crushing so hard on Tinashe?

Dave East Speaks On His Life As A ‘Baller’ Before Doing Music, Meeting Nas And Getting On And More (Video)
January 26, 2016
“Hate Me Now” is the New York sound…I got it.
C Tha God asked Harlem emcee Dave East if he was banging a bunch of Spanish and Dominican chicks being from over there and he was like, “Trying.” Haaa! And what got him into rap? Failing at a lot of stuff… basketball, Towson University (dude is 6’5″& used to play with Kevin Durant), did a bid behind the bars for a gun charge… only then doing the bars behind beats. He admits that rap is plan B.
Wow. Watch Dave East share that and plenty of other revelations with The Breakfast Club. Talking about his solid East Coast sound, his new project (“Hate Me Now”), being on Mass Appeal Records & how he linked up with Nas and much more.

T-Pain – Over/Under (Video)
January 25, 2016
T-Pain rates the poop emoji, Jeb Bush, ghosts, Helen Mirren, Daffy Duck and Febreeze. The choices: ‘overrated’ or ‘underrated.’ T-Pain’s elaborations on his responses though…PRICELESS!
And after the laughter… you know what? Bugs Bunny IS kind of an a-hole.

MC Eiht Speaks On Suge Knight, Staying Humble On The Come Up And More (Video)
January 25, 2016
Comptons Most Wanted MC Eiht knows and lets the words flow freely about Suge Knight – success as a rap mogul to current hit-and-run and murder charges he faces. His views on what caused the downfall of Tha Row’s capo…
“Money and power will side-track the sh!t out of you if you ain’t the type of motherf#cker who knows how to handle power and money.”
Eiht continues.
“If you be humble, then motherf#ckers will know that. If you be the terrorizer, sh!t gone follow you until one day you gone be in the terror. It’s just the cycle of the world, man. Nobody thinks that sh!t is true, but it’s true.”
Get your money and stay humble and even-handed. Words from someone who knows. Worth watching and heeding.

Ryan Coogler Interviews J. Cole For #MLKNow (Video)
January 25, 2016
Above: Ryan Coogler (Director of “Creed” and “Fruitvale Station”) with a deeper than in-depth interview with J. Cole. You can tell it was more a frank discussion than an interview though; Coogler admitting to this being his first time as an interviewer and Cole admitting to a gang of things: the tragic death of Oscar Grant as told in “Fruitvale Station” makes him cry every time… fear-frustration-sadness and artistic motivations that came from subsequent incidents of police brutality… feelings on Black-on-Black crime… life as a married man (stunned the crowd, and toned down the ladies’ screams…for the time being).
Watch the whole 20 minutes. Very appropriate conversation in the wake of the Martin Luther King, Jr. commemoration. Engaging, enlightening and empowering! The web was on fire due to news of Cole’s nuptials being dropped like a bomb in this clip, but the most powerful moment was when the brothers were exchanging thank-yous to end the interview.
Stop thanking me… We a part of the same body. Bruh, my hand don’t wake up and thank the other hand.
– Ryan Coogler
Wow… feel that chill? That surge of pride? That’s #MLKNow and hopefully motivation to take strides.

January 21, 2016
Ice Cube foreshadowing this year’s Coachella concert supreme Hip-Hop moment…maybe? Look, Cube wants that NWA reunion. And if anybody could make it happen (with a phone call to Dr. Dre), it’s the man O’shea.
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeves… I’m gonna try to bring the members of NWA together…give everybody a little history lesson on Ice Cube and NWA, Westside connection, everything I’ve been doing over the years. We have some great visuals….same night Guns & Roses get back together…It’s gonna be a great night!
– Ice Cube
Now, before you cynics file this in the never-gonna-happen box… he threw a Westside Connection (his other steady crew) mention in there. Something (e.g. some kind of reunion) is happening in April. Bet that.
Snoop Dogg Welcomes DJ Khaled To GGN (Video)
January 21, 2016
Awesome episode of GGN with the wisdom and witticism. Lots of fun. But… why did they make the Stormy Frontz segment so damn short?! She’s FI-YAAHH though (being kinda literal). Watch it through.
They don’t want you to watch this episode of GGN so you’re watching this episode of GGN. Snoop Dogg aka Nemo Hoes kicks off 2016 with DJ Khaled you funky b!tch you.

Two-Hour Live Interview With Kanye West (Video)
January 14, 2016
People’s misunderstanding of me is a misunderstanding of themselves.
– Kanye West
Okay, say what you will about Kanye (and you will, just the way it is), but the man is a phenomenon. And as such, we are almost equally blessed and stressed by what we know and think we know about him. And even when so-called ‘craziness’ comes to light related to dude, we’re more likely to run toward it than away. But this low-key live interview interaction with Ye gives us another look at the man, dispelling some myths (letting others ride), talking in the way of a misunderstood legend. Think John Lennon back in the day when watching this (uh oh, might have to do some more Googling, ha).
Good watch. Right under two hours… wow! Full transcript available, too.
