Spike Lee Speaks On Being Honored At The Oscars, With Having A Street Named For Him And More (Video)
November 25, 2015
There’s no overnight success. You gotta bust your ass.
– Spike Lee
Truth spoken by the one bringing us the forthcoming “Chi-Raq” movie; a and a right to speak it, backed by decades of movie-making experience. Truly starting from nothing, getting a recent nod from the Academy (honorary Oscar award), and moves being made today; Spike speaks on all that and more with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show (starting around the 29-minute mark of the full episode embedded above).
Jalen Rose Speaking On Trash Talking With Jimmy Kimmel (Video)
November 24, 2015
Hahaaa! It’s like the ‘crack’ commandments… as in cracking jokes and talking trash to opponents. Somebody get word of this to Kristaps Porzingis. Word is, he has an interest in trash talk. Jalen Rose is hilarious; but he admits Gary Payton’s got skills, too.

Politics: Killer Mike Endorses Bernie Sanders For President (Video)
November 24, 2015
If you lean to the left (e.g. are likely to vote Democrat in the coming 2016 U.S. election), you should be gathering information and forming impressions NOW. Because before you know it, you will have a decision to make. Every person who has ever run for office has understood that, in order to win, she or he must be supported and admired (and hated) by the right people. So, if you’re thinking Hilary Clinton’s the one, I hope you are learning who is for and against her. Alternatively, if you are taking a hard look at Bernie Sanders – “feeling the Bern” as it were – then you should take a look at the clip above. We KNOW you love Hip-Hop and the Culture if you come to this site often. But maybe “Politics As Usual” has soured you on voting (or even caring). I hope you read my VOTE DAMMIT! posts on here (whether you lean left or right). But maybe they don’t fire you up. But this vid… this vid right here… Just play it. Watch Killer Kill From Adamsville, and it will GIVE YOU BACK YOUR FIRE and make you care about the fight again. In a most powerful way, his speech above makes it clear: Killer Mike Endorses Bernie Sanders, the next President of the United States!
Now sure, you will make your own decision in that ballot box, but a candidate is known and judged by the company she or he keeps; and the enemies she or he makes. Do your research. Who is in who’s corner? What fights is your candidate picking? I’m not sure I completely #FeelTheBern yet, but the temperature is rising.
Oh, and just in case you are thinking this is just more ‘politicking’ peep after the jump. The whole event, including what Bernie Sanders has to say (and eat).

MMM (Documentary)
November 21, 2015
I ain’t come here to die. I came here to live… I need more…
– Diddy
I’m digging several songs off of this project. And the video above provides a behind-the-scenes look at the construction of Puff Daddy & The Family’s album “MMM.” Studio WORK! Inspirational snips and quips captured during Diddy mini-rants. Plenty, plenty studio guests. Diddy musing and laboring over the board. Driving every part of the creative process… Feel that 90s Bad Boy energy!

Sports: Kristaps Porzingis Was Ready To Be ‘Booed’ But His Goal Was Always To Be Great (Video)
November 20, 2015
I wasn’t too sure about the Knicks draft pick, but in this first few games he’s proven to not be shook. Hoping to see more great things from this kid in the NBA. Word to “Godzingis.”
Kristaps Porzingis is a smash hit as a high-flying rookie for the New York Knicks. But it wasn’t too long ago that he was mercilessly booed by Knicks’ fans on draft night. We sit passenger side with Kristaps as he explains how he blocks out the negativity and the optimal methods for getting into your opponents head.

Michael B. Jordan Speaks On Getting Jacked, His Movie “Creed” And More (Video)
November 20, 2015
Commitment. To film making and to fitness. Get your bread, B. Respect. Above: Michael B. Jordan on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon chopping it up about his continuing the ‘Rocky’ movie franchise with his movie “Creed,” working with Sylvester Stallone, getting fit for the role and more.
I just remember seeing Rocky [and] Apollo Creed just being jacked, and I was like, “You know what, I gotta be close.”
Hoping this movie is the brother’s proper re-up …since the “Fantastic Four” reboot …you know. “Creed” ought to be good holiday movie watching though.

Exploring Kingston, Jamaica: Dre Skull x Popcaan Highlight The Roots & Culture (Video)
November 20, 2015
There it is. Music doing what it is supposed to do… The music entered his soul and spoke… made him a dancehall producer and bade him come to its home. Now it feels like his home. Watch the above vignette of producer Dre Skull traveling (once again) to Kingston; to immerse himself in the culture AND to link up with artist Popcaan to do work!
Aaaaah, back to Tuff Gong Studios. Others we’ve posted on have been there. See here.

November 19, 2015
For the latest installment of Rhythm Roulette, we tap Scoop DeVille to chop up some random records and conjure fire. We caught up with him in New Jersey as he thumbed through the crates at Scotty’s Record Shop, picked three random joints, sparked some herb, and flipped the records in the stu.

Julie Walters Feels 50 Cent’s Tongue (Video)
November 19, 2015
Are you kidding? If anyone can not only keep his “9 Shots” story lively, then turn it into a song that’s funky, then turn it into something funny, then have the whole thing turn into something freaky, it’s 50 Cent.
Rapper 50 Cent talks about taking 9 bullets in the horrific shooting incident that nearly cost him his life. Julie Walters is only interested in feeling his tongue.
Talk about tongue-in-cheek… well, this is cheeky Julie Walters’ finger in 50’s mouth (saying, “Oh yeah, I can feel it”). Whaaaat?! Only in the UK. Only on the Graham Norton Show.

Dam-Funk Digs Into His Crates To Pull Off A ‘Boiler Room’ Party Mix (Video)
November 19, 2015
Funk, boogie, breaks… LPs and 45s… Dam-Funk is taking us on a near hour-and-a-half musical genre journey. With very little intro (by a cute little slimmie), we get right into the needle-dropping. What is pretty much an intimate listening party doesn’t stop until the end; only pausing for commentary or spontaneous crooning. Check out the video above. Nice!

Stay Melo: Carmelo Anthony Goes To Rikers Island (Video)
November 18, 2015
Great stuff! VICE is keeping the heat on the prison industry by taking the cameras back inside. First President Obama does a special at a Federal prison; now Carmelo Anthony visits Rikers Island for this episode of “Stay Melo.” Impactful, especially for Melo, touring the jail facility and meeting a group of young prisoners. Growing up, he knew folks who’d done time and came back home. But being inside like this, even knowing he would eventually leave, was very different.
I’m not sure what I expected. I knew it wasn’t going to be pleasant. And, it wasn’t. At all. It was extremely disturbing.
– Carmelo Anthony
Watch above.

Ricky Velez Confronts Racism… In The Ring! (Video)
November 16, 2015
Wow! It’s been forever and a day since we’ve seen WWF’s WWE’s Virgil, muscle and manservant to The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. Whoa wait-a-minute. Manservant? Isn’t that pretty much another term for slave? To get the answer, The Nightly Show correspondent Ricky Velez goes to the former WWE wrestler and former ECW wrestler Tommy Dreamer for some real answers…and some real training…enough to fake it and make it in an actual match…and dares to expose the truth about racism in professional wrestling. Oh, and the answer to that ‘manservant’ question? That’d be a ‘YES.’
“Wrestling is racist as f#ck, Larry.”
– Ricky Velez
Let’s start there.
And watch the two-part story, starting with part 1 above, for the whole story, exciting ‘finish’ (part 2 and bonus clip, after the jump) and discussion with host Larry Wilmore.
