Roc Marciano – “Warm Hennessy” (EP)

Roc’s project “Warm Hennessy” is right there at the intersection of album, compilation/mixtape, and EP… But since he calls it an EP on Bandcamp… an EP it is. Plus, good Hip-Hop it is.

Tory Lanez – “Pa Mí” feat. Ozuna (Video)

It’s Hip and you can dance Hop to it. But it’s something just to the left of all that. Dope though. Check out “Pa Mí” (out on iTunes now).

Tory wraps his velvety R&B falsetto around a sleek reggaetón beat.

Kasai – “Pretty Boys” feat. Joey Bada$$ (Video)

Ha! Thinking Joey stole grub off A$AP Rocky’s plate this go ’round… Isn’t Rocky the one that calls himself the ‘pretty m***erf*cker’ though? Dope alt-pop sound from Kasai accented by the Bada$$ bars peppered on there.

Pretty Boys is the first release from London singer/songwriter Kasai. Starting out writing music in her bedroom just over a year ago, things have come together quickly for the young artist. The song was written in response to her female friends’ experiences on the dating scene. Her long-standing friend Joey Bada$$ heard of the track online and was quick to request a featuring moment.

Lie Detector: Wiz Khalifa (Video)

So according to this, he’s a good breather (bet you know what he ‘breathes’ in a lot *wink*), good at being calm, and good at ‘snitching on himself’… Hahaaa! Well, the polygraph will do that.

Wiz Khalifa takes a lie detector test for Vanity Fair. Does he really spend $10K a month on weed? Who smokes more, Wiz Khalifa or Snoop Dogg? Does he like Biggie more than Tupac? Does he believe in free will?
– Vanity Fair

Great questions for this forum. But a whole lot more elaboration/conversation than a real lie-detector test. I know. Trust.

Ice Cube Talks About ‘Big3’ Season 2 & Passing His White House Invitation To Partner Michael Rapaport (Video)

For some reason, EVERY time I see Ice Cube I hear MC Serch rap, “Would use the F-word, but Ice Cube got the copyright…”

Well, though I’m sure Cube will still drop an F-bomb, he just doesn’t seem like that dude to me anymore. And that’s a good thing, because he’s so much more to the community: emcee, actor, producer/director/filmmaker, entrepreneur, and Big3 founder!

Ice Cube On Big3 & Why He Wants To ‘Kill The G.O.A.T.’
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM

I’m slipping though. Didn’t know that Big3 season 2 was already here. As an emcee we all admire would say of that, “Once again it’s on!”

Comedy: Which Shoe Brand Is The Best? (Video)

I mean… I’m not even a ‘shoe fiend’ like that, but I enjoyed this… mainly for the shots these guys take at each other (ha)! Another great SquADD debate.

Artifacts – “Art Of Facts” (Video)

If you were blessed enough to be around and up on things in the 90’s, you recognize Tame One and El Da Sensei as a couple of the greatest of the Golden Era’s offerings. So, the return of the Artifacts in this form (and forum) should be cause for celebration. While you are cheering, let the folks around you know why. Play this “Art Of Facts” if they need more than your bond word on it.

Oh yeah. They have a bundle dropping soon.

Could Ant-Man Be The Most Powerful Avenger? (Video)

This one is more [theoretical] science than science fiction, and I will tell you in advance… I did not get it (even after the second watch) totally. But that last ‘outtake’ point that Kyle makes… I got that the first time! In fact, me and @RealSuperKing were talking about the ‘mass problem’ on “Ant-Man” in a different way while back: When he gets super-tiny, but retains his mass, wouldn’t he crack anyone’s arm he ran up?? SCIENCE!!

When you think of powerful Avengers, you probably think of Hulk or Thor, but should we be considering Ant-Man too? Kyle has the quantum realm science on this week’s “Because Science”!

This ep is awesome to watch. Now, do NOT let all this ruin your movie-watching experience. I won’t. In fact, I’m hoping to see an ‘easter egg’ in the “Ant-Man And The Wasp” movie that hints at Ant-Man giving Thanos the business… and saving the world #InfinityWars #HelpUsScottLang #MaybeOurOnlyHope

Recently Elected U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Ready To Take On Any ‘Trumpsters’ (Video)

Ha! President Trump and his ilk might not be ready for Alé From The Block.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Donald Trump might both be from New York City, but she doesn’t think he knows to deal with a girl from the Bronx.
– The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

And ahhh… Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a self-described Democratic Socialist (just posted about that affiliation here).

Racist History Of American Medicine (Documentary Short)

You don’t have to tell me about racism in medicine and research. I. Am. From. Tuskegee, Alabama! Watch the video and you will learn why that matters, too.

People of color in the U.S. have endured centuries of abuse in the name of science. It’s time we stop celebrating this blatantly racist history.

Being Sean: A New Food Experience

The homie Sean was out and about and needed to eat. The struggle was real but in the end… TRIUMPH… in the form of a new spot to find good food! Lean in and read up.

A couple of weeks ago Andrea and I were in her hometown of Eastman for a family member’s funeral. The funeral was at 11 am and the drive is about 2 ½ hours from our house. We left early in the morning and once we got there we grabbed a quick bite to eat attended the funeral and hopped back on I-75 and headed home. We stopped off in Macon to grab another quick bite, nothing huge, just something to hold us over til we got home. Andrea’s sister and a cousin were in the car so we decided to hit the Burger King and place our order. BIG MISTAKE…

Announcing The Commencement Of ‘The First Purge’ (Trailer)

This prequel is the story of how The Purge got started. Anyone notice drug-dealer-turned-resistance-leader Dmitri is played by Y’Lan Noel (from Issa Rae’s HBO series “Insecure”)? Cool, right?

The First Purge is doing something rare for horror franchises this deep in their run. Instead of playing it safe, it builds on the socio-political commentary from Election Year to drive home the ramifications of a government-sponsored extermination of marginalized peoples by the wealthy elite. And with our current combustible political climate, the franchise will continue to have ample material to evolve and reinvent a dystopian world that far too often hits close to home.
Ismael Abdusalaam, Imprintent.org

Interesting continuation of The Purge series’ violence-with-conscious-points. It’s out now. Go!
