Ne-Yo – “Good Man” (Album)

New Ne-Yo. Heard the title track on here back in February, right? Time for the whole plate now. “Good Man”… good album… Check it out and see if you want to add it to your good Summer play bin.

On his seventh studio album, GOOD MAN, Ne-Yo travels the globe for inspiration. He rides Jamaican rhythms with Bebe Rexha and Stefflon Don on “Push Back.” Latin crooner Romeo Santos drops by on the sunny, bilingual ballad “Nights Like These.” As for his R&B bread and butter, “1 More Shot” and “Summertime” juxtapose his usual sophisticated touch with subtle trap influences.

God Friended Me: Behind The Scenes (Series Teaser)

Hmm. “God Friended Me” seems intriguing, but I was on the fence. But hold the phone: I now HAVE to watch this… Because my cousin Michele shared it in her timeline like ‘recommended’… AND because this is a Greg Berlanti production (like Arrow, Flash, DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow… you get it). THIS is exactly why I watch credits!!

A young atheist is sent on a series of adventures after accepting an unexpected friend request from God. Take a peek behind the scenes at CBS’ new fall drama, God Friended Me.

Ah, Joe Morton has this new gig. Moving on since Scandal. Cool.

Corey Holcomb Speaks On How Hard It Was To See Kevin Hart Go Through Marital Issues And How Easy It Is To Cheat (Video)

Always great to catch Corey Holcomb on-air with interviews like this. For some reason, I had dismissed this one until now because I thought it was a Breakfast Club ‘throwback’ from way back. Still fresh though. And Corey, though toned down a touch, is still giving Yee and Envy that raw commentary.

I don’t think they ‘got it’ at the end when Corey was ‘pulling their leg’ a bit at the end. Still a great watch though. But why did he have to go in on President Obama like that though… because Corey, man. That part.

Jamie Foxx Speaks On Kanye West And Challenges He Has Had Regarding His Own Mental Health (Video)

Know what… if all the convo about Kanye’s actions and reactions serves to heighten awareness and sensitivity regarding mental health, esp. in the Black community, then maybe it will all be worth it. Got to be more than fodder for memes, right? Plus, look. Got Jamie Foxx giving his perspectives on mental health.

Jamie Foxx is known for his comedy, singing and Oscar-winning acting, but what you may not know is that, similar to his friend Kanye West, Foxx experienced his own mental health episode. Luckily, he had people in his corner to hold him down.

Luenell Questioned Snoop Dogg On His “Ain’t No Fun If The Homies Can’t Have None” Lyric (Video)

Okay, Luenell came with the realest point with that talk about Snoop’s “Ain’t No Fun.” One of the funnest songs ever, as eff’d up as its concept is… But see, I don’t have a daughter. If you do, you might feel a bit different (or not).

Luenell shared her thoughts on our interview with 2Pac’s rape accuser Ayanna Jackson and the famed comedian questioned whether Jackson was “led to the wolves” after 2Pac left her in the room with his friends. She added that when it comes to men passing their girl around, Luenell says she asked Snoop Dogg about making it cool with “Ain’t No Fun.”
