Rhythm Roulette With Dame Grease (Video)
May 11, 2018
Thinking we’ve blessed you with footage of Dame Grease putting it down in the studio, but not of dude doing the do for Rhythm Roulette though. Check, check. Soundcheck. Okay… time to let Grease get his blind picks and production on!
“I gotta get Funkadelic on em,†says Dame Grease, producer of crucial tacks for Mase, The LOX, and the whole Ruff Ryders camp. When Dame accepted Mass Appeal’s Rhythm Roulette challenge, we knew we were in for a treat. Although he and his protege Swizz Beatz are known for a mostly sample-free sound, the Harlem-born and Bronx-raised producer can chop with the best of them. “Every producer knows you can look at the grooves and see where they thin out at,†Grease said while surveying three randomly selected vinyl albums. “That’s where the breakdown’s at.†Working his way through ‘Spinners Live,’ Jose Feliciano’s ’10 to 23,’ and ‘Romantic Swing’ by Eugen Cicero, Grease zeroed in on Feliciano’s 1969 version of ‘By the Time I Get to Phoenix’ because he used to live in Phoenix. “Let’s go straight to that,†Grease said, dropping the needle. “Groovy! That’s the one.†Check out the latest episode of Rhythm Roulette to find out how Dame Grease flipped that joint like it was meant to be.

Meek spitting a different kind of truth into the mic. No freestyles, but at least he’s free now (for the most part). Interesting how so many and varied folks stood up for Meek when he was on lock. Even more interesting… this interview.

May 9, 2018
That is the SADDEST grilled cheese sandwich ever captured on video… is that, like, a replica of a grilled cheese or something. Moving on. The SquADD made some good choices, but did they avoid egg salad, chicken or tuna salad, or even burgers, on purpose?

May 9, 2018
Remember that “Why You Always Lyin†that Nick Fraser went viral with? I remember thinking: “I wonder if kids listening/watching this even know who RL and Next are?” Ha!
Remixing Next’s “Too Close†on Vine got him more than he bargained for.

The cat’s out of the bag. The jig is up.

A Simple Question For Kimmel: Why Was Submariner NOT In The “Infinity Wars” Movie?
May 2, 2018
All for real facts, all but the truest Marvel comic heads sleep hard on Prince Namor. Conspicuously absent from Infinity Wars, this Jimmy Kimmel clip shines a light on the oversight (hahaa)
Billy Eichner interrupts Jimmy’s monologue to reveal how upset he is that a certain Marvel superhero was not included in Avengers: Infinity War.

Check Out This New Investigative Documentary Series On Netflix, “Dirty Money” (Trailer)
April 30, 2018
Man oh, man… This isn’t even art imitating life, rather a [Netflix] video series reporting it. We pretty much assume that big businesses and “Dirty Money” (that ‘anything for a buck’ mentality) go hand-in-hand, right? Well, these stories – teased in the episode trailer above – should not surprise you. The first episode is on Volkswagen… supposed to mean the “People’s Car” in German… yeah, but which “people” (probably ‘The 1%’) is it really ‘for’?

April 30, 2018
Absolutely, it’s still #WakandaForever around here and everywhere, but can we please get a heavy, heavy nod for a SECOND season of our Black hero-king on the small screens? Yep, Netflix is setting out another round of “Luke Cage” for us to binge on. Watch the trailer!
Luke Cage shows off his superhero strength by competing in the physical and mental tests of the combine event, similar to the one that college football players have gone through on their way to the NFL Draft… In this clip, Luke takes on the combine to show his true power to the world and to himself.

Paramount Network’s New Series “Yellowstone” Starring Kevin Costner (Trailer)
April 29, 2018
Wow. This looks like “Scandal” met “Bonanza” at a bar and left the baby on Kevin Costner’s doorstep nine months later. I’m banking on Costner bringing in that basket and making this series a “Dances With Wolves” meets “The Bodyguard” experience. But can Costner comfortably squeeze his big screen background into a powerful concentrate and pour that essence into a small screen vessel like this? Because if so, this ought to be better than I anticipate.
Academy Award Winner Kevin Costner stars in ‘Yellowstone,’ an original television series following the violent world of the Dutton family, owners of the largest ranch in the United States. ‘Yellowstone,’ from Taylor Sheridan, the writer of ‘Hell or High Water’ and ‘Sicario,’ also features Wes Bentley, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Gil Birmingham, and Cole Hauser. Premieres June 20th 9/8c on Paramount Network.
‘Yellowstone’ is a drama series that follows the Dutton family, led by patriarch John Dutton. The Duttons control the largest contiguous ranch in the U.S. and must contend with constant attacks by land developers, clashes with an Indian reservation and conflict with America’s first national park.
