Jalen Rose & Jadakiss Talk About Artists’ Taking A Stand And Defending Their Music (Video)
August 16, 2018
Jada spoke on it: “All money isn’t good money.” It was good that Hip-Hop let EA Sports know that we stand with Kaep. Rappers can take a knee and take a stand, esp. when it comes to ‘mistaken’ censorship of their music.
(Hard to believe they called removing Kaep’s mentions in song lyrics a mistake.)
Jadakiss joins Jalen Rose to talk about the fact that Colin Kaepernick’s name was edited out of a verse in Madden 19 from a Big Sean song, and how the former San Francisco 49ers QB’s name was added back in after Big Sean’s complaints.

Move Over ‘Driving Miss Daisy’… This ‘Driving Dr. Shirley’ Movie Is Going To Move Movie-Goers This November (Trailer)
August 15, 2018
(That “It takes courage to change hearts” line in this trailer… wow!)
The man Mahershala Ali stays working, doesn’t he? Got the ‘Battle Angel’ movie coming at year’s end, plus this incredible road trip story with co-star Viggo Mortensen… “Green Book.”
When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on “The Green Book†to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger—as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.

Two Wrestlers Speak On ‘Life After Sumo’ (Documentary)
August 15, 2018
The glamor and prestige of being on top of the sumo game in the Land Of The Rising Sun… if you can get to the top. And even if you do, being ‘about that life’ comes at a price. Watch VICE SPORTS tally up the bill in this documentary episode.
Sumo wrestlers enter training stables, or beyas, as young teens and dedicate their lives to the sport until they retire. Training involves incredible food intake, heavy beer consumption as a means of weight gain and daily full-contact sparring. Along with the health impacts, most wrestlers leave the sport with little education and less money. In this VICE Sports exclusive, we visit with two retired rikishis to get their take on life after sumo.

Taraji P. Henson Stars In “What Men Want” (Trailer)
August 15, 2018
Taraji P. Henson is “What Men Want.” Point. Blank. Period. Usually not sure about remakes of films. There’s always a chance of the flick being no more than a substandard copy, but with Taraji, the funny supporting cast, and the cameos (look for the ‘poker table’ clip above for a gang of ’em) this trailer is teasing a remake with a good chance of doing it right.

This is beautiful all by itself. The Sister-Mother chef will school on all kinds of foodie knowledge (esp. gumbo). But I just needed to hear ONE thing (that I have known since my elders taught me): Okraaaaaa! Gumbo means OKRAAAAA! Facts.
(Full disclosure: I love okra.)

Do White People See Black Skin As A ‘Weapon’ To Be Feared? Host Erica Cobb Says ‘Yes’ (Video)
August 14, 2018
So… ‘weaponized skin tone.’ That is where we are. And Erica is right. You KNOW she is right. It’s just too bad that many who watch this are just going to see a ‘triggered’ Black woman and not even try to understand why.
While talking about the CVS employee “Coupon Carl,” Host Erica Cobb says Black skin is viewed as a weapon by many. She and Beau Davidson debate the role skin color plays in tense situations.
– Daily Blast LIVE
If you only watch this once, I understand. It can get monotonous; us treading the same race-related grounds with those who just don’t get it. But I watched this several times before I got the gumption to go see why Erica would opt out of potentially ‘heightened’ situations because it would be ‘better if her husband handled them.’
Hit the jump, and give yourself a pat on the back if you already knew what I found out when I Googled.
Damned shame it has to come to this. Like a Dave Chappelle punchline… She must know that, when sh!t goes down, “somebody’s gonna have to talk to the cops.”
