Antoine Fuqua And Denzel Washington Promote ‘Equalizer 2’ And Hint At The Possibility Of A ‘Scarface’ Remake (Video)
August 8, 2018
Keep nudging Antoine. A ‘Scarface’ remake starring Denzel Washington has all kinds of cool opportunities for reshaping the iconic image of Tony Montana, as portrayed by Al Pacino in the original.
The Equalizer 2 Interview Antoine Fuqua suggest Denzel Washington for Scarface Remake.
– BlackTree TV
Just think of the memorable moments Washington and Fuqua could squeeze from the classic flick… Just think of that ‘King Kong ain’t got sh!t ON MEEE!’ power poured into the Scarface ‘Okaaaay, I’M RELOADED!!’ scene. Nice!

Chris Brown – “Had To Do It… Sorry DJ Khaled”
August 8, 2018
Not sure if Khaled was ‘in’ on the titling of this song. Is this an apology, maybe for leaking this cut early, or an ‘apology’ for him ‘killing’ the track. Not sure what C Breezy was trying to get across, but give him credit for trying to get it across on the flip of MJ’s “Rock With You” track.

Producer Teddy Walton Speaks On The Making Of Kendrick Lamar’s “LOVE.” (Video)
August 7, 2018
So, in this video we hear from the man standing next to the man (RIP comedian Robin Harris) on the single “LOVE.†off Kendrick Lamar’s album ‘DAMN.’
Kendrick Lamar’s ‘DAMN.’ was one of the most acclaimed album releases of 2017, with all 14 tracks hitting Billboard’s Hot 100. With each song placing on the charts, it’s hard to deem any one track the major standout. But “LOVE.†feat. Zacari was a favorite for many Kendrick fans, as the song’s lyrics became the third-most-viewed ‘DAMN.’ track with 2.9 million views on Genius.

Ha! Anybody figured out who (or what) ‘Trap Money Benny’ is? Or this ‘KeKe’ person? And… nah, not gonna feed the hate monster. This is actually a really fun video.

Wow! Well, if you take Andre’s word for it, there is no point during the play of “Mission Impossible: Fallout” that will allow for yawning or calling ‘bullsh*t!’

This ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ Mechanic Salvages Tesla Cars Doomed To Go To The Scrapheap (Video)
August 6, 2018
Hmm. A great example of how a craft or hobby can be expressed in the form of activism. We might more readily think of print, TV, or music content creators as activists before a Tesla fix-it guy. But peep. Rich has a mission and a message; putting both out there at great risk. Watch.
Rich is a car enthusiast whose passion is to find wrecked Teslas, bring them back to life, and then share his repair adventures on his YouTube channel Rich Rebuilds.
When he found out that Tesla would not service or support his salvaged cars, he took it upon himself to scour the internet and harvest working parts from several busted Teslas. He Frankensteined them together until his creations were fully operational, at a fraction of what it would cost to buy a new or certified pre-owned Tesla.
Motherboard travels to Massachusetts to meet with the rogue mechanic leading a grassroots movement of DIY fixers who are taking back the right to repair the things they own.

How Important Is Raekwon’s “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” To Pusha T? Follow Him To ‘Shaolin’ And See (Video)
August 6, 2018
Makes sense. Purple being the color of royalty, Raekwon’s ‘Purple Tape’ was among the king-level offerings of Hip-Hop’s Golden Era. It influenced Pusha T. No doubt it influenced Push’s latest project “Daytona.” He says so above. Check out the clip and get the how’s and why’s.
You heard the Earth shake a bit when Clipse dropped its ‘Lord Willin” album back in 2002, didn’t ya? It was a big one, and the work Pusha T and No Malice did with Pharrell Williams is gonna last a couple lifetimes. So’s the strong stuff the Bronx-born, Virginia-raised MC has made on his own – ever since ‘My Name Is My Name’ arrived under the GOOD Music banner, the company that King Push is now the president of. In May he dropped his latest disc, DAYTONA, a collab with his business partner and creative brother, Kanye West. The pair worked on it in Wyoming, and as you might expect, Ye had a unique production process. In our exclusive interview, we take Pusha T to Staten Island to get his POV on a key influence, Raekwon’s ‘Only Built 4 Cuban Linx…’ See what he says about Shaolin culture, ‘The Purple Tape’ and how the classics shaped the feel of the tracks on ‘DAYTONA.’
