Tiffany Haddish Speaks On What She Wants In A Man, Her Love Of Cartoons, And Katt Williams (Video)

Interesting. Tiffany is a lot less silly in this interview than I’ve noticed in a long while, perhaps ever. Make no mistake, she is still fun in this, but in more a Will Smith funny-but-this-one-has-something-to-say way.

Tiffany Haddish passed through Ebro in the Morning to discuss a variety of topics including, what qualities a man needs to have to date her, why hosting SNL was so difficult, what really happened when Katt Williams spoke to her after dissing her publicly, and is she trying to bring an old classic back?
– Hot 97

Wow. That list for qualifications for her man though. Dudes (like me) will have to step CORRECT. Fair, but substantive. And Tiffany’s side of the Katt Williams drama… well worth watching this through to the end.

DJ Muggs x Roc Marciano – “Sh!t I’m On” (Video)

Roc Marciano is going to spend this entire vid telling you what sh!t he is on, and you are going to be there for it all. Trust. Something about that nonplussed behind the beat dragging flow is going to pull you along the Muggs track to the end of the line. Worth the trip! And if you decide it’s worth your purchase, that “Kaos” LP is on sale now!

Travis Scott – “Sicko Mode” feat. Drake (Video)

Don’t ask me. I am not quite sure either. But hey, I will probably watch this again to see if I get it for real. What you need to know is readily apparent from the title though: Travis and Drizzy are two of the most popular in the game right now. And they went in spitting on a track together… maybe we call the spitting, because “Sicko Mode”…. Yes? Nah? What?

Angela Rye Speaks On Why The Coming Midterm Elections Matter And Kanye Being Down With Trump (Video)

The mid-terms are coming up, and you may even have ‘early voting’ going on in your community right now. I’m not going to try to guilt you into anything, but you REALLY ought to vote this go ’round… the local representation is where it’s at. There are no ‘electoral college’ counts; your vote helps chose DIRECTLY – Congress, Governors, local offices, ordinances and amendments are all chosen by your vote.

See? If you did not vote in 2016 and you let President Trump happen… we’re not harping on that anymore. It’s done. And the insanity that the President and Senate just put on the U.S. Supreme Court… that was a ‘done deal’ back in 2016 when Trump won. Your action or lack thereof in 2016 affected 2018 politics which affected your LIFE; if the ‘right to choose’ for your body and yours & your children’s schooling means anything. Cavanaugh is the swing vote on those issues coming before the Supreme Court for the rest of his LIFE!

Okay, okay. I will stop and get down off my soapbox. Just VOTE DAMMIT!

Maybe you will listen to fine as wine and woke af activist Angela Rye tell you why.

Wu-Tang Clan – “Protect Ya Neck” / “C.R.E.A.M.” (Live Performance) [Video]

Yooo! I’m mad because NOBODY told me that Kimmel had on the Wu-Tang, WU-TANG, WU-TAAAAANG! And they did the classics LIVE? And who is that doing the ODB (RIP) part of “Protect Ya Neck” though?

(Nope. I’m not going to spoil it. Let me give y’all a hint though…YDB!)

Hit the jump for the “C.R.E.A.M.” performance.

How Do You Think Jonah Hill Scored On His ’90s Hip-Hop Test? (Video)

So Young M.A tried a 90s quiz, and “passed” it for the most part… But Jonah Hill LIVED the 90s. The proof and homage for such is him doing really good! Evidently, Jonah knows his 90s. Good – seeing as how he’s got that movie coming and such.

Lola Brooke – “Not The Same” (Prod. By Reefa) [Video]

Told y’all I was going looking for more Lola Brooke visuals. And maaaan oh maaan! Boom! Plus she stuffed “Not The Same” clip with Eye Candies, the hot ones. Get this in your Halloween bag; all sweet treats, no tricks.

You know. She and Young M.A should collab. That’d be insane! I just get a feeling that the lyricism and imagery would be off the charts starting at 11 out of 10 #JustSaying

Sean Paul and Chi Ching Ching Tasting And Teaching Jamaican Food & Culture To Horsepowar (Video)

‘First We Feast’ keeps coming up with good content. Of course, it is food-centered, so you know that will interest most humans. However, they really put work into the ‘human interest’ side of their series. This one on Jamaican Food, too.

Sean Paul is a dancehall icon and certified hit maker. But he’s also a ride-or-die obsessive when it comes to the food of his native Jamaica. Anxious to learn more about Jamaican curry goat, Horsepowar follows Sean and his latest Dutty Rock signee, Chi Ching Ching, to Glady’s Jerk Center in Brooklyn—a new-school home for Caribbean cuisine on Rogers Avenue. From a crash-course in patois, to a heated beef-patty taste test, Sean and Chi Ching school Horsepowar on all things Jamaican before diving into a couple heaping bowl of curry goat and oxtail. The Curry Shop heads to the Caribbean this week, and who better to breakdown the dos and don’ts than two generations of dancehall legends? Jeesam peas!
– First We Feast

They lost Horsepowar with the patois at first. She had to call a timeout on the chit-chat. Ha!

Lupe Fiasco – “Mural Jr.” (Live Performance) [Video]

Live. Lyricism. Lupe. Under the bridge. On these streets, where it matters. Unexpected but not uncharacteristic. Fiasco is only a ‘disaster’ to wack rappers’ careers. The rest of us in the real Hip-Hop Nation… we fux with dude heavy! Stuff like this is why.

For his live performance of “Mural Jr.” we took him underneath NYC’s Williamsburg Bridge for a shoot that nods to the ‘Drogas Wave’ theme. There’s a clear view of the East River waters next to the downtown Manhattan walkway ‘Lu prowled while rhyming a cappella. His inspired take on the track (the sequel to the ‘Tetsuo & Youth’ original, “Mural”) gains extra emotional clout by insightfully incorporating the local landscape. Hold up!

Even the bridge above had to make some noise and give love #HoldUp
