What Happened To J-Kwon? (Video)
Dude! I was just thinking: What happened to J-Kwon? Young’un used to SNAP on tracks! One of the few back then that gave me true hope that Hip-Hop could still produce the party rappers who could turn grime on a dime… and take us to the hood with ’em!
Well, here we go.
What happens to a 17-year-old rapper who makes a monster hit like 2004’s “Tipsy?†From sleeping in a car at 12, to mooning L.A. Reid, to child support conspiracies, to random shoutouts from Kanye West, J-Kwon’s life has been a wild ride.

Yes, Her Name Is ABCDE… (Video)
Five-year-old Abcde Redford pronounces her name “ab-city.”
…and watch the above clip to the end, because she is not the only one. Wow.
Okay, sure, tsk-tsk to the employee who made the little girl feel bad. Would it have made a difference if it was made clear that the PARENT who named the child was the real target? Dunno. Ummm. No. Probably not.
But… well… Though parents can name their children whatever, should they???
(Gonna leave it there.)

Meek Mill – “What’s Free” feat. Rick Ross x Jay Z
Tell you what. Maybe Meek took an L on a rap skirmish, but dude’s career is winning! And the heaviest of heavy hitters will still jump on a track with the Philly fire-spitter. Like… just check out this “What’s Free” he did with Rozay and Jigga.
And check out that “Championships” LP if you haven’t already (linked below).
Unsung: Special Ed (Full Episode)
Wow. Triple dopeness (hmm, wonder if there’s an ‘Unsung’ on 3XDope… aaaaanywaaay)! This ‘Unsung’ on Special Ed is the business. Well worth the watching if you missed it, and worth the watching AGAIN if you saw it before.
Nicki Minaj – “Good Form” feat. Lil Wayne (Video)
Is it wrong that Nicki goes to the front of the line on the blog-o-sphere because of her unmatched sexiness? Well, if so, I don’t wanna be right! At the very least her visuals are gonna be HOTTTTT!! So, we win there. Plus, she can go. Plus, maybe there’s a Weezy fan out there.
(Whatever you need to get comfortable with this latest ‘Nooner’ post… ’cause you gone get this Nicki WORK off her “Queen” album!!)

Young M.A – “Bleed” (Video)
It’s M.A b!tch. You got something on your mind, then say that sh!t.
Look, you know the rhymes are fire. So I’ll point out something else. The merch! I mean… LOOK at that Red Lyfe cup! You could hang out and drink from a red Solo cup and be just fine. But somehow, drinking out that Red Lyfe cup… just seems like you’re doing better at the party, right? HA!
(Seriously. I like the cup.)

Bill Duke Used To Hate White People (Video)
Bill Duke’s Great Grandparents were slaves, his parents escaped from the racist, oppressive, and DANGEROUS South to the North… with their lives. Bill was subjected to extreme racism himself as a child. Is it a wonder that Bill feels how he feels? Imagine how you feel watching a movie with some racism in it. That part… times 1000!
In this clip, Bill Duke spoke about growing up in Poughkeepsie, NY, during the 1940s and 1950s. His parents moved North to escape the oppression of the Jim Crow South equipped with just a 2nd- and 3rd-grade education, respectively. Bill Duke opened up about some his early experiences dealing with racism and how some Whites defied the racist logic of the time as well. He recalled what it was like being a pre-teen when the Emmitt Till story made national headlines.
– Vlad TV
But beyond the agony of his youth, there was wisdom, imparted to Bill, and he shares some with us in the clip above. Watch.
Started As Some Colonies, Now We’re Here… As A Corporation (Video)
If you hang out with folks in the States who claim Moor as nationality, they might have hipped you to something like this. Or at least tried. Perhaps you really did not take in the knowledge because it was not echoed elsewhere. Well, not trying to proselytize anyone, but here’s a ‘truth echo’ right here. Study, look into things, and THINK for yourSELF!
Plain and simple America is a Corporation since 1871 with the Act of 1871. Finalized in 1938. Rockefellers in the United States. The Rothschilds in England. They own and run the Federal Reserve the Central bank of England and the United Nations is run by them. They both finance WAR for both sides to keep the lies going and but the Corporations are broke. Everything with Syria, Russia, USA and soon to be China falls under this to enslave us with Agenda2030 that was Agenda21 www.republicoftheunitedstates.org GO now!!

Comedy: Nellyvidz Gets Pulled Over And Tries To Push Up On The Cop (Video)
Situation comedy is most hilarious when the characters find themselves in the funniest situations. The Nellyvidz Show gets me every time with the way dude ‘ends up’ in trouble. He stoopit!
But facts though, I might have tried it with a cop as fine as Elena myself, too. Make her feel like a ‘lady’ for real!
