Technology: Tesla’s New Semi Truck And Roadster (Video)

Aw c’mon maaaan! Real-life Tony Stark (aka Elon Musk) had his company whip up a couple of new future whips… and one is a TRUCK????! A damn SEMI??! Wow!

Elon Musk unveiled Tesla’s new Semi truck and (in a surprise) a second-generation Roadster. The truck is supposed to get 500 miles per charge, while the Roadster is said to achieve 620 miles.
– The Verge

That’s 500 miles, at maximum weight, at highway speed… which Tesla’s truck can get to faster than today’s diesel models. Yeah. Musk’s truck can kick our trucks’ asses.

Evidence – “Jim Dean” (Video)

Hot damn if this shyt don’t bang!! Incredible feel when the Beats & Lyrics run together and over a cliff like this. Flows like a waterfall in this “Jim Dean” jawn! And to bring it further into life, in visual form, Evidence tapped his video go-to guy, Jason Goldwatch. Because…

The first Dilated Peoples Video, “Third Degree,” was directed by Jason. My first solo video, “Mr. Slow Flow,” was directed by Jason. He’s always been a part of my team, not just some guy for hire. Being that he moved to LA from NY recently, we knew it was time to work. The new video is jumping all over LA to narrate the lyrics through still and moving images. Jason came up with an amazing way to have it all transition together through SSUR t-shirts coming to life. The locations in the video are personally important to me -the alley where I grew up, Alchemist’s studio etc.
Evidence

“Jim Dean” is on Evidence’s forthcoming album “Weather or Not” (due out January 26, 2018).

Comedy: America, Stop Calling ‘Michelle And Barack’… It Is Over (Video)

What’s cool about the 50 Central troupe, to me, is their willingness to take on impressions in sketches that they may not have down pat… It’s alright that the look or the voice characterizations are off if they still bring the funny. And they do. Especially at the end of this one.

“We’re blitzing. Oh yeah, we’re blitzing.”

Hope y’all enjoyed the Obamas while they were busy in the White House. It’s okay to miss ’em. But don’t be calling all late and ish. They are ‘busy’ at their own house now *wink*

No Script: How Do You Stop Beast Mode In His Tracks? Show Him Some Roller Coaster Tracks (Video)

Who’s idea was this? This was a terrible idea.
Shak, show writer

Patent answer from Beast Mode is usually, “I’m ’bout that action, boss!” But apparently, not about that roller-coaster action. Hahahaa!

He eventually got on. Wonder if that fine-looking boom mic operator might have gave him some ‘courage’ or ‘encouragement’… can’t punk out in front of the Honey *wink*

“The Reason Dame Smacked Harvey Weinstein”… Dash Backs Up That Cam’ron Verse, Saying He Did Slap Weinstein (Video)

Okay, it kinda looks like Damon Dash got the ladies’ and folks like Terry Crews’ back way back when. Doing what they could not. Dash was apparently pressing with aggression over the release of “Paid in Full” (believable) and ended up smacking fire out of Harvey Weinstein, huh? Whoa.

Kenyatta of Hip Hop Motivation talks to Dame Dash about his personal issue with Harvey Weinstein as well as the recent allegations he’s faced with, and he also gives advice to women in the industry.

This is crazy. All of it! But sometimes you gotta have that Gotti boss that will go check another boss for the team. Wow!

Terry Crews Speaks On Being Sexually Assaulted Early In His Career: “I Felt Like I Could Punch A Hole In His Head” (Video)

Oh my damn! Dude did ‘Damon’ wrong! Talk about art imitating life (re: bathroom scene between ‘Money Mike’ aka Katt Williams and ‘Damon’ aka Terry Crews). See, if he’d have whupped the sh!t out his azz when this groper tried him, Terry might not have had a career anywhere near like he’s had. And being the wrong color in the wrong situation, he might have lost his liberty (caught a case) or his life (caught a bullet). And for similar reasons he could not even speak on it as his career progressed.

Good thing he gets to talk about it now. A different look at abuse of power. Now that the story is out, and the suit is filed, maybe some payback in the form of serious greenbacks is coming, too.

IN FRONT OF HIS WIFE!!! Maaaaannnnn…

Watch.
