Dax – “Tim Westwood Freestyle†(Video)
February 5, 2020
Pikachu with the bars. It’s like lightning when I speak.
Listen. Look, man. If you know about us… then you know about <strong>Dax (study up here if you don’t and don’t wanna put yourself out there like that).
So we don’t need Tim Westwood to tell us that Dax goes hard in the booth. But I’m sure Dax apprecates hearing it from someone else from time to time.

I’m starving. Let’s go!
Look, Fallon already KNOWS what this is… and he is gonna dance with the devil AGAIN (fool)! And they are only doing four bites for this “Tonight Show” version of Hot Ones with JJ Watt. On flame! I’m already calling it.
J.J. Watt and Jimmy go head-to-head eating spicy wings that get progressively hotter as Hot Ones host Sean Evans grills them with questions.

Hit the jump for more hilarity. They actually try to do an interview right after the Hot Ones Challenge.

Maxo Kream Speaks On His Coming Up & Becoming A Rapper (Video)
February 3, 2020
Hey, Maxo’s full name is a mouthful. And he’s laughing with Vlad when joking about how hard it is to pronounce… but then he pronounces it perfectly and starts speaking on how he got the name and how that led to the Maxo handle. Message: Your name MATTERS. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
Okay, I’mma step off the soapbox and let y’all get on with the watching of Part 1 of 6 above (other parts after the jump). This is so you get familiar with Maxo before I share this new schooler’s music with you. I’m really trying to find the new ones that are doing it real, their way.
I’m old school. But I know that refusing to understand means refusing to grow. And everything that lives is either growing or dying… And I’m not dead yet!
One of H-Town’s realest. Not no ‘Soundcloud rapper’… Watch him tell his story to Vlad.

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.

Yo Gotti | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #143 (Video)
January 30, 2020
It’s an event. A special occasion. All of the above AND below! Because Yo Gotti is a ‘style’ that does NOT come free. He kept saying it: Yo Gotti is only here because Flex asked; hasn’t spit a freestyle in a decade!

I’m from “if they take your sh!t it was never yours!”
From that gritty! Like THAT, Quest? Daaaayyyuuummm! Chess Bars brought a SQUAD through to pop off on the I-95 mics… and leave ’em smoking… dammit!

Dr. Oz Advocates For Medical Reform & Medical Marijuana (Video)
January 29, 2020
Not so low key, I have a cousin that knows Dr. Oz. Personally. Been on his show a few times. So, if you find yourself at Grady Memorial in the A-T-L and Dr. Kimberly Manning (megaton name bomb drop…BOOOOOOM!) is at work, you can tell her that you read her cousin’s blog posts DAILY (you do, of course)!
Dr. Oz stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about 11 years of his show.

22 Gz | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #142 (Video)
January 27, 2020
22 Gz. The General Blicky. This is what Brooklyn sounds like. Brooklyn’s real (that’s right). Real trill though? Real drill rap out of BK though? Hmmmkay…
Wait, WAIT! Don’t leave yet. LISTEN. Flatbush emceeing actually got represented in a new way this time out on Flex. Yet, the grimy feel is familiar enough for old heads (like me) to give new schoolers a chance. And to that I say, “Salute, General Blicky” (I mean Gang-Gang-GANG)!

I fed all my loved ones, but wasn’t no Thanks Given…

Michael B. Jordan is gonna tell us why Jamie Foxx didn’t get that part in End Game or something, right? Weeeell, maaaaybeee not. But expect an Epic Conversation nonetheless. Gets deep right away.

These two long time friends cover the first time they met in L.A. during the early 2000s in the NBA E League, the pressures that black men are put through in Hollywood and the roles that solidified their stardom.

Science/Technology: Will Artificial Intelligence Ever Be A Real Thing? (Video)
January 21, 2020
Incredible!
And a great choice for narrator… Movie ‘Tony Stark’ himself, Robert Downey, Jr. Kinda like how Morgan Freeman is spot on as narrator for documentaries about the universe, being movie ‘God’ himself.
Can A.I. make music? Can it feel excitement and fear? Is it alive? Will.i.am and Mark Sagar push the limits of what a machine can do. How far is too far, and how much further can we go?

Because science! Cool tech RULES! And this is intriguing.
