Christopher Meloni Stars In SyFy’s Original “Happy!” Coming To Starting December 6th (Trailer)
Well, would you look at this… Elliot Christopher Meloni Stabler from “Law & Order: SVU” has got himself another gig. Looks like a cross between “Roger Rabit” and “Sin City” – like those two flicks had a fling and abandoned the baby. And it grew up with no home training, unhinged and macabre af! Probably helps the aura of this movie; the fact that Meloni also starred in the very graphic “Sin City” sequel.
But enough of the past. This trailer is for “Happy!” (based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name). The series follows Nick Sax (played by Meloni) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hitman – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt).

Method Man Remembers & Praises The Excellence Of Prodigy (Video)
Meth says Prodigy was ‘Top 5’ in his day… PLUS he was a fan. Dopest and most real thing a colleague can say in almost any field of endeavor; but esp. so in Hip-Hop. One more RIP to Prodigy of Mobb Deep.
Rap, Fashion, and That ‘Good Fire’ On Deck For Discussion With Snoop Dogg & A$AP Rocky On GGN (Video)
Uncle Snoop declares that the PIMPING is in him. Salute to A$AP Rocky. Of course, he had to come through GGN studios. Best bet the Stormy Fronts report is gonna be dope.
Plain and simple. This ep is lit af (and according to the Honeyz… HOT AF). Wilding with a freestyle straight out the Stormy Fronts report, too!
Check Out This Hilarious Teaser For “White Famous” Starring Jay Pharoah (Trailer)
It’s a fair question, and an old question: Why do WE have to ‘cross over’ to White audiences to be successful? I know it’s been the question asked of entertainers since “The Five Heartbeats” movie. And I am willing to bet a fair amount that Jay Pharoah sneaks in an imitation of Chris Rock in this debut season of his new Showtime series… Rock had me cracking the f*** up when he told Kevin Hart he was just ‘Black Famous’ on “Real House Husbands Of Hollywood” (you can’t CLOSE, Kevin, hahaaa)!
SHOWTIME® presents WHITE FAMOUS, the outrageous new Original Comedy Series starring Jay Pharoah. Comedian Floyd Mooney’s career is about to blow up, but he’s not so sure he’s ready for all that. He doesn’t have time for big egos, crazy studio execs and the wild side of fame. Hollywood is full of phonies but Floyd wants to stay true to himself. Can he make it without losing his soul? Don’t miss WHITE FAMOUS, the insanely funny new comedy from Tom Kapinos, executive producer of Californication, and Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx, airing Sunday, October 15th 10PM ET/PT only on SHOWTIME®.

He doesn’t rhyme like Em, but MC Keith has been spit plenty of venom at Pres. Trump and them. Today, he dumps the whole vial of vitriol on part of “them”… VP Mike Pence… for his and his boss’ disrespect of the flag! Watch and see how.

Did You Watch All The 2017 BET Cyphers? Do It Now, And Again, Right Here (Video)
The BET Cyphers were really good this year. Actually, they were pretty decent last year, but Em’s Cypher smash callout of President Trump (got that, in full, after the jump) making headline news likely brought a bit more attention to them. Which is good. The Cyphers needed a good look when they looked good.
Got all the rest here. Start above. And keep going after the jump. Because this Hip-Hop… It won’t stop!
(Fair warning. You will need to pause several of the embedded clips after the jump. It gets hectic in there. But this one-stop Hip-Hop shop for dope rhymes… worth it!)
Philip K. Dick’s “Electric Dreams” Is Coming To Amazon Prime (Trailer)
Oh… so this is gonna kind of be like “American Horror Stories” for Amazon Prime. Janelle Monae, Terrence Howard, Steve Buscemi, Greg Kinnear, Anna Paquin and a gang of other A-Listers starring in various episodes of the 10 that will comprise the season.
Method Man To Host ‘Drop The Mic’ On TBS (Trailer)
TBS got Snoop for a show (you saw that posted here). How about some love for Method Man though? Bring it back East a bit.
Yep. TBS did that. And for the trailer, toss in the DoggFather… just because.

Watch The Teaser For Marvel’s “Runaways” (Trailer)
Hmmm… could be verrrry interesting! So Hulu is getting into the Marvel game. Saw this “Runaways” start playing while I was YouTube surfing, and I immediately tried to figure out whether this fits in the Mutant Universe (like what Fox and FX are trying with “The Gifted” and “Legion” and the “X-Men” movies) or the MCU (Marvel Comics Universe, with all “The Defenders” on Netflix and big screen smashes like “Avengers”). Check out the Teaser.
(Oh… and the Mutant vs. MCU thing… looks like this is something else altogether! Maybe some “Doctor Strange” mixed in with a hybrid of both.)

Eddie Griffin Calling On Psych-Medical Professionals To Declare Trump A ‘Lunatic’ (Video)
Well, damn, Eddie. How do you really feel? Pretty much like a lot of folks… but LOUDER, ROWDIER, and REALER.
Comedian Eddie Griffin is no stranger to voicing his opinion, in part 1 of “The Truth” the funnyman goes on a harangue about Donald Trump’s presidency and how him being an “adolescent adult” will likely lead to another World War. “A childish motherf**ker — I don’t know what happened, but something traumatic happened in Trump’s life around 14 or 15 years old because he’s stuck at that age,” expells Griffin. He then goes on to explain how Kim Jong-Un also had a traumatic adolescence that has led to the two of them going back and forth.
He also says “This a coup pulled off by the Russians, Trump’s motherf**kin’ treasonist ass, the alt-right, KKK, neo-nazis all conspired pulled off a coup of the United States presidency.” Watch the clip to hear him tell it like it is about what’s going on in America and why no one is speaking up.
– Vlad TV
Wow. And Eddie called every Republican, except Sen. John McCain, treasonous! Shots fired, bombs dropped!
Nia Long Just Gave Kendrick Lamar The Permission (Video)
See? Nia had no shade for K.Dot. She just did not recognize the new Compton Don… yet. But see, now that she does, she gave him PERMISSION to use her name in that next dope rhyme.
Savage Savvy!
But let’s keep rewinding at the end where lovely Ms. Long stressed that that gold-beaded dress was on a mission: To ‘hold it in and push it OUT!’ Mercy!
(So… that’s why that red carpet clip is after the jump. Yes and more yes yes, indeed!)

Snoop Dogg To Host The Reboot Of The Classic Game Show, “The Jokers Wild” (Trailer)
Okay, I’m thinking TBS might really be onto something. Snoop Dogg on TV as a game show host; not a cook or coach. And this reboot of “The Jokers Wild”… Wow! I would never have seen that coming (but now we know it’s coming, October 24th).
I remember the original game show hosted by Wink Martindale. Trust that this version will be waaay more ‘G’ (pimpin’)!

Papoose | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #076 (Video)
Yooooo! Pap came back and snapped on his flow for the Funk Flex show. And before you ask, he did not bring his luscious, lyrical wifey, Remy, this time. But you know he had to rep for her, too… with these “Cash Rules” BARS!

Watch The USA Network’s Official Teaser For “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G.” (Trailer)
Starring Josh Duhamel, Bokeem Woodbine and Jimmi Simpson, and no longer a ‘long-awaited’ or ‘maybe, strong maybe’… They kept snatching the clips down like someone was ‘hedging’ at the network. But okay. This Biggie-Tupac crime drama series is definitely coming to USA.
Watch the official trailer for Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G., a new series coming to USA Network from a director of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

“Keloid” Is Young, Black, And Super-Powered! Binge Season 1. Here. NOW! (Video)
Holy sheeeit! This “Keloid” series could very well cause Blerdgasms (Blerd = BLack nERD, and if you don’t know ‘gasms’ go Google or ask your parents or some sh!t) across the Interwebs! Have you peeped it out yet? A really compelling take on the coming of age, coming into one’s own, story of a youngster with abilities. Right in keeping with young hero sagas like Gotham already on Fox Television and The Gifted and Cloak & Dagger hitting the tube soon. And see, “Keloid” is already on YouTube, thanks to continued crowdfunding.
In episode 1, Keloid and his mom disagree about the emergence of his special abilities – telepathy, telekinesis, teleportation and the control of electricity. Meanwhile his girlfriend Aisha appears at his door unannounced. Is she right on time, or is it the worst time possible?

Keith Olbermann Declares, “The Media Doesn’t Understand What Trump Is Doing” (Video)
Donald Trump’s not pivoting. He’s not changing. He’s just crazy.
– GQ
Interesting points, as usual, by Keith Olbermann… The media is not getting the real story of the Trump Administration out to us, not because they are holding back, but because they do not ‘get’ it. Or at least, they do not ‘get’ how to get the story out to us.
And this is NOT all the fault of Trump’s crazy ways (though Olbermann declares, several times in this clip, that Trump is, in fact, ‘crazy’). It could very well be that, unlike Olbermann’s former field of sportscasting, the mainstream news media has neither the acumen or desire to cover something as unprecedented as what is going on with the level of ‘crazy’ coming out of The White House.
