Tyra Banks Vs. The World’s Hottest Hot Wings (Video)

Woooweee! Wings so hot, they make you Tyra want to slap cry out to your her momma!

Tyra Banks is a fashion world icon, legendary supermodel, TV host, business mogul, and author of “Perfect Is Boring,” a new book she wrote with her mom. But how is she with hot food? Find out in one of the most combustible ‘Hot Ones’ episodes of all time. In between America’s Next Top Model anecdotes and expert breakdowns of the modeling industry, Ty Ty drops a fire rap verse, critiques Sean Evans’ headshots, stress-eats ice cream, strikes hot sauce-inspired poses, and so much more. This is an episode for the history books.

Black Thought – “Conception” feat. Reek Ruffin

Sure, Black Thought is a super-lyricist (even he said so on Pun’s debut LP, remember?). But how about some soul singing though? He’s sung a tune or three on The Tonight Show. Tariq has been known to go there on soulful tracks, too. Listen to the “Conception” jawn for the latest example.

Oh. And don’t worry. This one’s got the dope lyricism we expect, too.

MC Serch Speaks On ‘The Gas Face’ And His Dealings With 3rd Bass, MC Hammer, And Nas (Video)

Point taken. It is probably appropriate to say that as far as ‘pure’ Hip-Hop for the Heads… Yeah, 3rd Bass was the first act with a White lead duo. Got the full interview MC Serch of 3rd Bass did with Vlad. Great insights… including a word on who actually owns Nas’ publishing rights. Start with part 1 above and keep watching after the jump.

Trey Songz – “Jill” (Sumn Real) [Produced By A-Wall]

You so a hundred that don’t change. I’m so a hundred that won’t change. I’m so sprung I’m T-Pain… We need love to relieve pain.

Okay. So the Trigga got triggered by Jill Scott’s showing her ‘mic’ skills on stage, too. Wanting Jill to give him “Somn Real” for real! Even serenaded that on a flip of her track (produced by A-Wall). Some dope R&B heat right here. Maybe they will… um… collaborate (heh heh).

Allen Iverson Speaks On Meeting Michael Jordan And Knowing The Notorious B.I.G. (Video)

Wow. A.I. knew Biggie like that. Got to think about that music project he was determined to drop at risk of torpedoing his pro ball career back in the day. Birds of a feather and such; wondering if he got a push, nod (or unh!) from Biggie if that rap career would have taken off.

(Okay, done thinking… NO WAY anybody gives up multiple MILLIONS for playing ball under contract for a ‘chance’ to make ‘some money’ in the rap game. NBA ‘bankshots’ paid WAY more than the ‘bank’ A.I. would have gotten as a rapper.

NBA legend Allen Iverson sits down with Complex’s Speedy Morman to drop gems on everything from his relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., to his conversation the first time he met Michael Jordan, to his iconic shooting sleeve, most memorable Kobe Bryant moment, opinion on the state of the NBA and more.

Little Dragon – “Lover Chanting” (EP)

Little Dragon. Straight outta Sweden! It’s a disco-house-R&B mash EP… Not really feeling that as an NWA-type flow… which is good. Nothing like that. But good!

Jae Millz | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #114 (Video)

Okay. I saw the ‘heat’ in the comments for K-ShiNe’s freestyle for Flex that we just posted… Apparently, Jae Millz took that L. But even whisper the battlecat’s name and he’s back at you. Heavy bar talk with a double side serving of ‘petty’ for every hater. Ha!

Jemele Hill Has Nothing But Love For ESPN (Video)

… Yeah, now that she is outta there, and cashing BIG checks!

I will admit to being in my feelings (not in the fun Drake way) about the drama ESPN was giving Jemele before her departure, but it looks like she is doing alright now. Better than alright.

Hugh Jackman Remembers Stan Lee As ‘A Creative Genius’ (Video)

Man. Marvel’s Stan Lee was the man. Coolest ‘old dude’ ever – neck and neck with Hugh Hefner. Both were forever young, even in their 90s. Rest In Peace to one of the greats. Let’s let ‘Wolverine’ speak on it.

‘The Front Runner’ star Hugh Jackman remembers thinking his portrayal of Wolverine would make him the center of attention on the red carpet at Comic-Con. That was until the paparazzi abandoned him for Stan Lee.

Nas – “Nasir: The Film” (Video)

Ohhhh. This presented like a documentary short about Nas (e.g. Nasir). And well, it is a short film – more so than a movie – starring Nas. It’s actually a survey of songs from “Nasir” brought to life via video in this unique way. Dope!

Who Killed Tupac & Biggie? LAPD Detective Greg Kading Names Names! (Video)

Just in case the decades of foot-dragging and the much-hyped USA Network miniseries did not quench your thirst for knowledge on the Notorious B.I.G. & Tupac murders, VICE gets the scoop in ’10 Questions’ posed to the lead investigator. And he answers them directly!

Ever wondered who committed the murders of Tupac and Biggie? Greg Kading, the LAPD Detective who investigated the murders, claims he has the answers. With a theory that allegedly implicates Sean Combs and Suge Knight, Kading claims to have solved two of the most famous murders in US history.
– VICE

A couple of things to keep in mind: (1) Kading’s investigation was directed toward clearing any blame regarding the LAPD’s role/coverup with respect to the murders of ‘Pac & BIG… (2) both the people Kading directly accused are dead #JustSaying
