Chris Rock Speaks On His Two Kids, ‘Top Five’ And More (Video)
December 17, 2014
For real for real, Chris Rock has been in this game strong for decades. Short and plain: He knows some sh!t. Take this opportunity to eavesdrop on The Tonight Show convo that he and host Jimmy Fallon have (on a variety of hilarious topics).
On parenthood. Have a ton of kids… or none at all. Having just one is too much work!
On “Top Five.” It’s hard to write a script…but it’s not when you have no job!
On his rap deal. I was nice… never came out though. I’m the ‘Lance Armstrong’ of smart!
On jinky promoters. Offer you everything… BUT what you need. One offered me his girl (‘You want Sheryl?’)!
Too short and plain? Okay, watch the first clip above… and keep on after the jump. You’ll get it (e.g. the chuckles)!

Poised Under Pressure: How Michael K. Williams Finds Peace (Video)
December 12, 2014
I love what I do, but I LOVE when people love what I do.
– Michael K. Williams
That sentiment stokes the fire that builds pressure in the cooker. Making this episode or that film the best, making the most of this media appearance or that one. On top of that, Michael is his own ‘image consultant’ – choosing his own clothes and look for these events. Why does he add that pressure to the situation when, at his level, he could hire someone.
Because the time he spends dressing himself, getting a haircut… are like his Zen meditation. Peaceful silence and renewed focus. Watch.

Royce Da 5’9″ Speaks On When He Pulled His Gun Out On Proof (Video)
December 12, 2014
Wow. Um…Wow! Probably some things should stay ‘undeclared’ – like beef that includes pulling out the heat! But Royce Da 5’9 and Proof (of D12) got through it… once they got arrested… and spent some time talking… in jail…
(Haahaaa! Extravagantly wasteful studio party with a gang of ‘unattractive strippers’… Where they do that at? Ask Royce.)

Questlove Speaks On Beef With Notorious B.I.G. And Diddy Back In The Day, With Chris Rock Being Around For The Best Music EVER (Video)
December 9, 2014
The world felt the loss of Biggie. BUT… Y’all don’t know nothin’ about the pain real Hip-Hop heads felt… in Chevy Chase (Maryland, USA)!! Ha!
Well, Rosenberg will tell you. Then quickly move to the meat of the video – Questlove and Chris Rock. The Roots’ main man and percussionist supreme starts by telling the story of beef before the fall of B.I.G.; and never getting to squash it with him…THENNNN… almost catching a 15-man beatdown by Puff Daddy and his ‘family’ soon after (okay, that got squashed… sorta). THENNNN… Chris Rock talks about his contributions to the Hip-Hop world library; and how Kanye’s album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” was the best ever.

December 8, 2014
Yasiin Bey chills in a restaurant halfway ’round the world; bobbing heads with natives and appreciative travelers to Gnawa jams.

But if you are going to do music for the world, you gots to be all in it and around it. Respect to Yasiin. Best believe the brother is taking in the entertainment and the influences. It’s what artists do. Watch.

“I feel ya” And Other Expressions Of Andre 3000 On Exhibit (Video)
December 8, 2014
When you describe Andre Benjamin as an artist it could mean multiple things. First he is a musician, also a visual artist, an actor and just a cool Southern gentleman. Not to mention Andre is known by many names – Dre, Andre 3000, 3 Stacks to name a few. So when you think about Art Basel it’s not surprising to see Andre getting involved with the yearly Exhibit/Event.
Andre Benjamin has teamed up with  filmmaker Greg Brunkalla (B.F.A., film and television, 2001) and painter Jimmy O’Neal (B.F.A., illustration, 1989) both graduates of SCAD (Savannah College Of Art & Design). The exhibit is called “I feel ya†where all 47 of 3 Stacks black jumpsuits that he wore during Outkast recent tour. His fashion statement became part of the live show where phrases like “Make Love Like War†and “Across Cultures Darker People Suffer Most Why?â€
The display is accompanied by a short film titled “Trumpets” by Brunkalla and large paintings by O’ Neal. If you are at Art Basel 2014 you can catch an early glimpse and it will continue to show at Savannah College of Arts & Design (SCAD) University summer 2015. Check out this video that features Paula Wallace president of SCAD talking with Andre 3000 regarding what inspired this fashion statement.
“I feel yaâ€Â provokes a socially dynamic conversation about language and context.

Yasiin Bey Speaks On Ferguson, Michael Brown And Eric Garner
December 6, 2014
It’s only right we hear the considered words of Yasiin Bey on recent reminders of tragic realities of being Black in America. He uses the word ‘reaffirming’ – as in confirmation things have been eff’d up for Black folks here. But that realization is spoken (with noteworthy quotes laced into the mini-speech) to powerfully by Brother Bey here.
“Where are we? We are at a critical time. We are at a watershed moment… been here longer than we realize…”
– Yasiin Bey

Kenny Smith & Charles Barkley Discuss Their Ferguson Disagreements on Inside The NBA (Video)
December 6, 2014
Easy to say; but hard to do. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Be able to say it face-to-face. Explain yourself when merited. Agree or disagree on what is being said above by Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley (and Shaquille O’neal) , this is some honest talk…
(Yeah. Honest talk. If ya say “real talk” I probably can’t trust ya…)

Blank On Blank: Robin Williams’ 1991 Playboy Interview (Video)
December 5, 2014
“Comedy is there to basically show us we fart, we laugh. To make us realize we still are part animal…. So you don’t take yourself seriously and destroy the species.â€
– Robin Williams in 1991, as told to Lawrence Grobel.
PBS’ Blank on Blank series animates Robin Williams (RIP). The animated video provides insights on the late comedy mega-celeb via his 1991 Playboy interview. Sex and orgasm faces, world economy and government, film and farts as fuel in the future… so much crazy… BUT some stuff (like coming worldwide financial collapses) were eventually on the money.

November 29, 2014
Having a Part 1 implied at least a Part 2, right? And with as monumental a happening as the formation and release of PRhyme is… you didn’t think we would leave you hanging with just a piece of the story they have to tell…
Did you? C’mon now!

Killer Mike Overwhelmed with Emotion Following the Ferguson Grand Jury Statement In St. Louis (Video)
November 28, 2014
Riots are only the language of the unheard.
– Killer Mike
Killer Kill from Adamsville gets it: The sentiments expressed so perfectly by Jay Smooth (posted on earlier here) are revisited so emotionally by Hip-Hop’s proud son, Killer Mike. In St. Louis (Missouri, USA) with his homie El-P to rock a Run The Jewels set, he heard the news out of Ferguson, Missouri [that no action will be taken against the officer that killed Mike Brown] – and like many on the scene – it rubbed him so raw he was hurt, was scared, was angry, was feeling retaliatory (ready to burn something down)… BUT… Mike hugged it out, cried it out, talked it out, got on stage and let it out. AND TORE THAT M#THERF#CKER DOWN!!!
Tonight I got kicked on my ass… You m#therf#ckers got me today. I have a 20 year son. I have a 12 year old son. And I am so afraid for them… These m#therf#ckers got me today. But with that said, you m#therf#ckers will not own tomorrow!
– Killer Mike
Watch the video-taped confessional turn into a high-energy Hip-Hop Revival up in the spot. Revolution energy being channeled. Prepare before you press play; a tissue for one hand… while balling the other into a fist and raising it in solidarity.
This is Hip-Hop. GO!
