January 22, 2019
Bwaaahahaaa!
Many have tried to say it, and maybe you were one of them, but Shuler [sarcastically] sums up the WTF sentiments of the masses who watched Broner’s “win” over Manny Pacquiao last weekend.

eLZhi x Ras Kass x M-Dot x Large Professor – “Reaganomics” (Prod. By B Leafs)
January 22, 2019
For days we stay in slumber, still pray to tainted alters, kids trained to gain and conquer.
– M-Dot
I remember the “Reaganomics” era. Great time for music, but the White House and major corporations… let’s just say they were not always looking out for us over there in the day. But knowing that, and spreading the word about it, gave rise to some of the best Hip-Hop music ever.
So, is this work worthy in light of what the title implies? Well, seeing the line-up, I’mma go on and say HELL YEAH! But I’m still gonna listen (as should you).
Elzhi, Ras Kass, M-Dot and Large Pro is one of the most legendary line-ups you’re going to see this year. “Reaganomics” is a legacy that’s endured almost four decades and is more relevant now than it was back in the 80’s when the [Anti-Robin Hood] concept was scribbled down on Bonzo’s napkin. For those in the dark about the system, it’s where corporations/wealthy lined their pockets from the taxation of the middle class, creating huge national debt and unredeemable budget deficits which forced future administrations to cut funding for social programs. 4 legends tackle the topic with their 4 unique perspectives, in the 4 unique styles you know and love them for. “Reaganomics” is produced by B Leafs off his upcoming debut album “The Horizon” out Jan 29th.

Advice: Les Brown Declares That It ‘Pays to Be Hungry’ (Video)
January 22, 2019
Les Brown… if you want to do anything worthwhile in life, you’ve got to be HUNGRY!!!
– Mr. Washington
We’re almost clear of the “resolution season,” so this isn’t about making you want to make one… and motivation to do so, or to see one you’ve already made through, has to well up from within. So, no, inspirational speaker Les Brown is not speaking on this to give you goals.
However, by the time the clip is over, you really should be thinking about them and how hard you WILL go for them starting NOW!
Les Brown is considered to be one of the greatest speakers the world has ever seen. But growing up labeled ‘educable mentally retarded’ made it virtually impossible for him to get there. Young, ready and hungry, Les Brown reveals how he scored his dream job in the most impossible way.

Marshawn Lynch Is ‘The Most Interesting Man’ On Real Time With Bill Maher (Video)
January 22, 2019
Did you catch Beast Mode on Bill Maher’s show last weekend? We know he does not speak much, esp. not to the press. But he made some memorable TV that night. Watch his segment. Speaking from the heart about President Trump, marijuana, and more.
Raiders running back and Beast Mode inspiration Marshawn Lynch responds to a Trumpian insult and addresses the NFL’s restrictions on its players.

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.

Keanu Reeves Is Back For ‘Chapter 3’ Of The John Wick Franchise (Trailer)
January 21, 2019
John Wick was retired when we started this thing right? But folks had to f**k with him (sigh)… You’d think they’d have learned to leave him alone by now.
Then again, Keanu’s character does end up killing most everybody he ‘teaches’ that lesson in his movies. Good for moviegoers, because we keep getting movies full of good, grimy, popcorn-munching azz kickery. Plus, this go ’round… Halle Berry

Regina Hall Promotes Her New Series And Shares Some Of Her Dating Wisdom (Video)
January 21, 2019
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.
Regina Hall Talks Relationships, Secret Tips For Women and New Show ‘Black Monday’
– Sway’s Universe
I am left with two questions though: (1) Who actually farted and (2) is she really smashing with the Yoni egg in her vijay though… for real??

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.
(You might get a little choked up at the end. Fair warning.)

Soope x Joell Ortiz x Fred The Godson – “Ain’t No Sunshine” (Prod. By CZR) [Video]
January 18, 2019
Powerful lineup blessing the CZR beat. With Soope, Joey O, and The Godson the visuals for this joint seem right at home with a church as the main setting. The mood and mode are low. So is the song. So is the title. “Ain’t No Sunshine” fam.

Lord Finesse Speaks On What Made Gang Starr (DJ Premier x GURU) Special [Video]
January 18, 2019
If anyone can speak on this, Lord Finesse can. Saying Preemo is a SUPER-producer… all while repping DITC (with its cabal of dope producers)… yeah, that’s a powerful recommendation. And stressing that GURU (RIP) had that monotone style that NO ONE could come close to imitating. Yeah, Finesse is spot on!
Enjoy and reflect on Gang Starr’s greatness. For the Culture!

She Said You Could Smash. But Should You? (Video)
January 18, 2019
The very stacked Brookelyn came through, said she was down [TF], threw some drinks & drugs down, but passed out before you could even get your draws down. It’s a pop quiz that should NOT even be a quiz, fellas. Watch and see ‘What Would Should You Do?’
Admittedly, the clip could be funnier; but the message couldn’t be more timely. Enjoy the weekend. Have fun. Be responsible.

Get A First Look At “Fast Color,” The Acclaimed Superpowered Flick Coming To Theaters (Trailer)
January 18, 2019
Coming off a good SXSW run. Cool. Characterizing the hero’s powers as she experiences them during use. Interesting perspective and very cool, too. Powerful abilities on top of that. Abilities which, of course, put her on the run. Toss in tension with the family who she hopes will help her… and action, drama, sci-fi… BOOM!
