Large Professor Compares Nas vs. Jay-Z Diss Tracks From Back In The Day (Video)
March 29, 2019
Nas was on his MONSTER back in the day! “Destroy And Rebuild” though… and you just thought “Ether” was mean… that’s just the version you heard! It could have been MUCH, MUCH worse.
In this clip, Large Professor reveals that the original instrumental for “Ether†was produced by Swizz Beatz, and that Nas ultimately censored the record before he decided to release it. From there, he recalls that some of the lyrics he took out had to do with Aaliyah’s plane crash, aimed at both JAY-Z and Dame Dash. Elsewhere, he also mentions that although he holds both records in high regard, he prefers JAY-Z’s “Takeover†on a musical level. With that said, he said he didn’t like “Super Ugly” at all, calling the record trash for its overwhelming disrespect towards Nas’ family.

Politics: Hasan Minhaj On Hip-Hop And Streaming (Video)
March 29, 2019
Great show on the impact of Hip-Hop… on Hasan himself and the world!
On the latest episode of Patriot Act, Hasan dissects how the rise of music streaming on platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and SoundCloud has influenced the sound, reach, and impact of modern day Hip-Hop. While streaming technology has led to the commercial viability of SoundCloud rappers, it is simultaneously enabling rap as a viable form of protest against oppressive regimes around the world.

Get your laughs, but pay attention and learn something. ‘Professor’ Minhaj is always teaching with his humor.

Cam Newton Off-Season Sacrifices: No Meat And No… (Video)
March 25, 2019
… ‘touching’ his meat. WTF?? All pro QB Newton is on some new ‘ish to regain focus! He was pescatarian before, so maybe giving up meat was not so hard. He could hire a vegan chef. But that ‘no climax’ thing. Why would you give up the one thing a multimillionaire athlete is damn near guaranteed on a near nightly basis?? No thigh-thigh, not even looking at wi-fi, NO sex or nothing in or out of the champagne room. Now, that’s a REAL sacrifice! Talk about ‘March Madness’ (sheeeesh)! Good luck with that, sir.
James asks Cam Newton about his decision to go vegan and the challenges that come along with it, and the conversation turns to the presence of flowers on Cam’s social media, which has to do with Cam going fully celibate for the month of March.

Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger Season 2 Premieres Thursday, April 4 On Freeform (Series Trailer)
March 18, 2019
I never like it when my shows take long hiatuses, esp. in the modern TV era when most networks’ shows break their seasons in half (like a series premiere, then a midseason finale, then a midseason premiere, then a season finale). Too much time away from the viewers. Out of sight, out of mind, out of a job.
But Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger had a pretty good premiere season. Hopefully, the long hiatus means a powerful second season is on the way. We will see next month!
