Nipsey Hussle Speaks On His ‘Side Hustle’ (Video)
January 24, 2019
Nipsey is the hustle! All sides. But that’s what we are here for; learning about the ‘Side Hustle’ of Neighborhood Nip. And we’re here for everything the homie has to share/teach.
Considering his name, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Nipsey Hussle is always on the grind. Raised in the streets of Crenshaw, Los Angeles, the independent rapper has quickly built his own empire to last: In addition to his All Money In record label, Marathon Clothing line and retail store, Nipsey has invested in the business incubator, Vector.90, as a way to connect with next-gen geniuses. In the West Coast edition of Side Hustle, Hussle breaks down his money moves, a major business loss that turned into a lesson and why he’ll never stop betting on himself.

The Grimes Gang Faces A ‘New Enemy’ On ‘The Walking Dead’ In 2019 (Trailer)
January 23, 2019
Well, it’s not really the Grimes Gang anymore, is it?
#NoSpoilers
Have you been keeping up with AMC’s series ‘The Walking Dead’ lately? Get your binging in before it returns with new episodes in February 2019 if you have not. It is still compelling television.
The storyline took a turn I kinda figured it would eventually, but not like this. Not like this…
And isn’t that why shows of this caliber are friggin awesome?? Because even the expected is delivered in an unexpected way.
A couple of weeks and TWD is back at it. One question though: WTF is Negan doing at…

E-40 Speaks On His ‘Side Hustle’ (Video)
January 21, 2019
Nice, Tidal. Very nice. Sharing insights on a true rapper / ENTREPRENEUR (yes, all caps on purpose because ‘shouting’ for emphasis) like the Fawty Water.
E-40 has been a West Coast rap ambassador for over three decades but his empire extends beyond his witty slang and hyphy catalog. In this episode of Side Hustle, the Vallejo native details the profitable and sometimes painful lessons he learned while building his business portfolio of wine, cognac, a meats company and other investments.

Regina Hall Promotes Her New Series And Shares Some Of Her Dating Wisdom (Video)

Regina Hall. This interview adds to her level of sexy. You SEE her (obviously), but throughout the course of this interview, you get to see what she is saying.

Jeffrey Wright Stars In HBO’s New Prison Drama “O.G.” (Trailer)
January 21, 2019
Been following (Jeffrey Wright) since ‘Boardwalk Empire’ days. This one right here. If it got any realer, it’d be a documentary. Realistic, accomplished actors alongside real inmates who are ‘acting’ (because HBO) but not ‘playing,’ filmed in a real prison.
O.G. follows Louis (Jeffrey Wright) a maximum-security prison inmate whose impending release is upended when he takes a new arrival under his wing. Starring Jeffrey Wright, Theothus Carter and William Fichtner. O.G. premieres February 23 at 10PM.
– HBO
And the trailer looks to tease a series that addresses very complex issues: Like when the lady tells Louis (Wright) that she believed he should stay imprisoned for life, even if she believed he was remorseful or reformed. Can a prison system truly reform the incarcerated? If so, is that justice for their victims or loved ones? For society? What about justice/protections/respect for inmates who serve?
This should be good.

Token has been through the Sway In The Morning set. They know he is a lyrical hyena! Think he eases back because the pressure is off? Shiiiiiid! If you think that, you don’t know Token. Passionate, aggressive neck-snapping rapping on deck! Watch.

Federal Workers Speak On How it Feels to Be Shut Down (Video)
January 17, 2019
Backs up against the wall, employed but not gainfully, this clip is representative of the employees and contractors NOT getting paid while President Trump and Congress are at a standstill over the Wall.
Okay. Actually, most everyone else in the situation (other Repubs and Dems in the Senate) are in agreement… at least to the extent we could reopen the government coffers and get these folks paychecks flowing again in the short-term. Now. It. Is. Just. Trump. President Trump. Alone. Standing on his Wall (um… slats… um, whatever)!
All the while. These people’s lives are in limbo. VICE reports (in the short above).

Season 2 Of ‘Future Man’ Debuts On Hulu (Series Trailer)
January 15, 2019
Looks HILARIOUS! Wonder how I slept on this… The trailer alone seems like something I would have checked out by now, but I am just coming across a trailer for Hulu’s (and Seth Rogen’s) “Future Man” (now in Season 2). What do you think? Worth trying out a subscription?
Of course, they’re in the future. The show’s not called Present Man. Future Man Season 2…

President Trump Vs. U.S. Senate: Who Will Stop The Government Shutdown? (Video)
January 14, 2019
Anybody else get a little excited when a vid posts of super-woke, super-cute Angela Rye giving us the realness? It’s okay if it’s just me. Really. Alright enough from me. Let’s listen to Angela tell us how an extended President Trump tantrum will ultimately cause government workers to lose pay, put many U.S. citizens at risk (e.g. food inspections stop), and more.

A Look Into Rap Beef & What It’s Really Good For… NOTHING (Video)
January 14, 2019
Asked and answered: Does rap beef really help your career? Does it serve Hip-Hop? No, and HELL no. Battles? Okay. That real, that hands-on beef? Stop it. Recognize that there are Rules To This Sh!t… and consequences!
In episode 103 of RTTS we explore the beefs in Hip-Hop, the point when conflicts arise and egos trip.
From rap battles to straight physical violence, are certain ways of conducting beef good for Hip-Hop or is it helping destroy the culture?
Nore, Too $hort, Tokyo Jetz and others do a deep dive on this controversial topic in the music industry.

The Rise of Asian Rap Culture (Documentary)
January 11, 2019
Wow. Asians dropping that n-word… Uncomfortable. But VICE goes in, and embeds and lets the subjects do them, so we can learn. So, let’s push through to the end and get the insights. Then we can make a better-informed decision as to whether we rock with what Asian rappers are saying, or not; all, or in part.
A growing number of Asian artists have burst onto the Hip-Hop scene over the past few years, thanks, in large part, to 88rising—a multimedia company that specializes in signing and amplifying Asian talent.
Founder Sean Miyashiro has helped artists like Joji, Higher Brothers, and Rich Brian (formerly known as Rich Chigga) build massive followings and net millions of views on YouTube, where the rappers upload a steady stream of music videos. But even as their popularity skyrockets, some in the Hip-Hop community take issue with their lyrics—raising questions about the line between self-expression and cultural appropriation.
For this episode of ‘MINORITY REPORTS,’ VICE’s Lee Adams met up with Miyashiro and a handful of high-profile Asian rappers—including $tupid Young, an Asian Crip unaffiliated with 88rising—to hear why they got into Hip-Hop, and what challenges they’ve faced while creating space for themselves as Hip-Hop’s newest minorities.
He also sat down with Ebro Darden—a Hot 97 morning host and Apple Music’s global editorial head of Hip-Hop and R&B—to hear his take on the cultural movement, exploring what separates contributing to Hip-Hop culture from misappropriating it.

Bill Burr Speaks On Butt Models And Not Being Politically Correct (Video)
January 10, 2019
Bill Burr. I have followed him for a while. I know he can take it ‘there’ and beyond… Like he does in this interview. And I will admit to almost not posting this because Burr goes beyond. Then I saw a commenter note, “I really wish Patrice [O’Neal] was still around.”
Point made and taken. Patrice was right there with Bill on that ‘take it there’ (e.g. going super non-politically correct) level. And they both frequented Chappelle’s Show on Comedy Central back in the day… Hilarious!
So here we go. Burr in an interview with his balls out.
(Not literally. That would be too far.)

Young Justice, Season 3 Tease: Batman, Black Lightning, And Green Arrow Quit The Justice League (Video)
January 9, 2019
United Nations Secretary-General Lex Luthor???? Duuuuude!!!
And… and that was Black Lightning in there?? And did you SEE Green Arrow right there shoulder-to-shoulder with Batman in the clip (on even keel, finally acknowledging what the Arrowverse on The CW has done to SAVE the DC franchise at least in some way)?? Okay, DC Universe, NOW you are on the right track!
I have got some cartoon watching and RE-watching to do!
Whew! That’s a LOT of resignations. Gonna leave a mark, or hole, in the League. Who’s going to shoulder the load going forward? Who’s gonna take the weight? #YoungJustice #Outsiders

Controversial Sports Commentator Jemele Hill Always Had A Strong Sense Of Who She Was, Before And After Her Time At ESPN (Video)
January 9, 2019
Above: Jemele Hill speaks on what it felt like leaving ESPN after more than a decade. There really wasn’t a mourning period. More than just the controversial Tweets and stands she took. By the time President Trump came ‘sniffing & riffing’… It had been time.
In this clip, Jemele Hill speaks on having three years left on her contract and being bought out via an offer. Hill noted that things weren’t already going right on ‘Sportscenter’ by the time the issues with Donald Trump happened, so she didn’t have plans on coming back to the show.
