State Of The Culture: Season 2, Episode 11 (Video)
February 20, 2020
You know what. There is some good, DOPE media being made out here nowadays. Not huge in scale, so some (read: many) might miss it. But I am watching, and highlighting it as I come across it. Much richer than a ‘Black Entertainment Tonight’… This episode of State Of The Culture is epic. Plus, the eye candy on the bookends (Eboni K. Williams & Remy Ma though… mm mm MM)!
On the 11th episode of Season 2, Joe Budden and co-hosts Remy Ma, Jinx & Eboni K. Williams sound off on the following topics: Kobe Bryant’s Legacy (6:42), Wendy Williams (34:19), Community heroes (39:20), Oscar’s diversity (40:45), Janet Jackson (50:40), Lil Wayne’s album ‘Funeral’ (54:12), Drake (56:32), Quentin Miller (59:58), Lil Pump retiring (1:04:37), Jussie Smollett being indicted (1:05:11), Who Said That? (1:10:51), 20 Years Since Big Pun’s Passing (1:21:00).

Comedy: The SquADD Debates To Determine ‘The Best Rapper-Turned-Actor’ (Video)
February 12, 2020
Best Rapper-Turned-Actor? Quickest episode of Great Taste ever. It’s Will Smith. But I do like the other contenders they argue about on here. But, as always, the way they jank the entire HELL out of each other is what keeps me watching (and laughing) throughout the video!

Watch Conway & Westside Gunn “Rate The Bars†(Video)
January 31, 2020
Bwaaahaaa! Y’all put Iggy’s bars on the bill for Griselda to review?? What did you THINK they would say?!
The Hall ‘N Nash duo is drawn to raw, rap lyricism, and rank high for real street spitters like the late Prodigy, MF Doom and Young Dolph. But for Iggy Azalea, Skinyfromthe9 and others from the new rap generation, they aren’t so admirable.

Watch Common “Rate The Bars†(Video)
November 25, 2019
Hmm… You’d think Common would be a ‘tough room’ when it comes to being impressed by the bars. And if you think that will be the case on this ep of “Rate The Bars  Well… just watch.
Common comes through to rate bars from Black Thought, Kanye West and more!

OBE – “Practice II” (Video)
November 14, 2019
My bredren DJ Yogi hipped me to the old school music review clips of Kvng Guap. Respect that young brother’s respect for seeking out the Golden Era goodies to review for his reaction clips. And respect for his hustle… offering his platform to do relatively low-cost review vids for artists wishing to be ‘introduced’ to those who follow him #GuapGang.
This is a joint Kvng Guap reviewed that I liked, too. See his review below. But first, watch OBE do his thing on the Prodigy beat – “Practice II”… Form your OWN opinion… THEN hit the jump for Gvap’s take on the plate.
OBE Drops a new freestyle track on the Cam’ron and Prodigy instrumental “Losin’ Weight.”

Advice: Gary Vaynerchuk Says If Your Social Media Is Not Popping… It Is YOUR Fault (Video)
November 6, 2019
Shout to #ThisChrisEdits over on YouTube. I’ve been looking for this, at least clips of GaryVee at A3C last month. But check it out: Above, you can see the whole talk!
Mr. Gary Vaynerchuk knows his stuff about following attention. When he came to the A3C conference in Atlanta, he spoke about CONTENT, CONTEXT, and HUMILITY.
Now living in the era where content is KING , and context is QUEEN, Gary Vaynerchuk knows where the under-priced attention is of the people that you could potentially sell to in the future.
He’s been proven to be right over the past decade, so why not execute?
Listen closely, for he has some great information that he doesn’t mind giving away for free. All that we have to do is EXECUTE!!
Music in the intro was made by myself, and I was also the editor and videographer of this video.

Note to self: Get my LinkedIn and TikTok game up… STRONG… NOW! SO much WISDOM in this clip!

You already know Benny The Butcher is gonna cut through all nonsense and get right to business when he gives his analyses. Check out Benny on this “Rate The Bars” ep. And they risked him rating one of Conway’s rhymes? Let’s see how that goes…
Benny The Butcher is very impressed by some of the bars he’s reading.

It’s like dude knew all the dopest bars, or at least knew of their realness, before he finished reading them. Nice!

Which Of These New Fast Rappers Will Get The Cosign From Twista?
May 21, 2019
Perfect question for Twista: Which of today’s ‘fast’ rappers is the best? Ski Mask? JID? Quadeca?
Chicago Hip-Hop icon Twista is well-known for his tongue-twisting, rapid-fire rhymes, so Genius put his fast rapping expertise to use for the latest episode of ‘The Cosign.’
Twista, who was named in the 1992 Guinness Book of World Records for rapping 11.2 syllables per second, gave his take on some of the new generation’s fast flows. From Ski Mask The Slump God’s verse on “Flo Rida†to JID’s “Off Deez†to Quadeca’s “Uh Huh!,†Twista shared his honest opinion on each new fast rapper.

Dame Dash Evaluates Some Of The Hottest New Female Rappers Out Now (Video)
April 19, 2019
I will admit. This is not entirely what I would have expected from Dame on this topic, but there’s nothing out of line with what the boss says. You don’t have to entirely agree. I don’t. But I do entirely respect this piece. And all the Eye Candy… I mean… It is noon (c’mon son)!
Dame Dash made a name for himself as a co-founder of the iconic Hip-Hop label, Roc-A-Fella, so he knows a thing or two about emerging artists. For this episode of ‘The Cosign,’ we recruited the self-proclaimed “boss†to review videos from up and coming women in rap.
From Megan Thee Stallion’s “Big Ole Freak†to Bhad Bhabie’s “Babyface Savage†to Melii’s “See Me,†Dash shared his thoughts on some of Hip-Hop’s newest acts.

Here’s A Suggestion On The Order To Watch All The MCU Movies… Just Before “Endgame” Hits Theaters (Video)
April 17, 2019
Interesting. I just got my brother BoneBreaker Jones to watch that first “Avengers” MCU movie. I urged him to watch the movies in order as they came out. But Looper suggests a different order. Good points, too. Not mad at them for this.

How To Cool Down Your Mouth When Eating Spicy Foods (Video)
April 1, 2019
Woooo, Stacia is HOTTER than all them peppers. Just saying…
Okay, maybe those ‘Hot Ones’ guests should be watching this to know how to survive when those wings start getting to them when they face off with Sean Evans.
In this episode of “Down the Hatch,” we use our own staffers as guinea pigs (don’t worry, we asked them first) to figure out the best ways to cool down a spicy hot mouth. Ice cream? Bread? Beer? A combination of all three? We put our own taste buds to the task to help you out. You’re welcome.
What’s the best way to cool down a hot mouth? Can we tell the difference between chain pizza and legit NYC slices? What’s the best cocktail you can make with Emergen-C? On “Down the Hatch,” we are putting our own tongues to task to taste test the wildest foods, drinks, and recipes for your own personal benefit. Thank us later. Or, maybe in the comment section?

Lord Finesse Speaks On What Made Gang Starr (DJ Premier x GURU) Special [Video]
January 18, 2019
If anyone can speak on this, Lord Finesse can. Saying Preemo is a SUPER-producer… all while repping DITC (with its cabal of dope producers)… yeah, that’s a powerful recommendation. And stressing that GURU (RIP) had that monotone style that NO ONE could come close to imitating. Yeah, Finesse is spot on!
Enjoy and reflect on Gang Starr’s greatness. For the Culture!
