A Look At The Upcoming “Betty” Davis Documentary (Trailer)
November 15, 2017
Hmmm. Now this is interesting! Scuttlebutt around the Interwebs is that this was supposed to come out as a project called “Nasty Gal” but is finally seeing the [Festival] light in this form. Above is the trailer for Phil Cox’s upcoming Betty Davis documentary, They Say I’m Different.
She dropped MAJOR names at the end (Miles, Jimi) and put her name right up there with them, didn’t she? Dope. But maybe some folks are not knowing about the funk for real… yet! Wait and watch for this. Like the rest of us. Should be well worth it.

Opinion: Should Artists Ever ‘Retire’… How Long Is Too Long? (Video)
November 15, 2017
Our good friends over at Dead End Hip Hop, but here’s my belief…..Never Never Never should artist announce they are retiring. They should pop in & out of the scene and quietly fade away. No announcements because no one likes a burnout.
Should artists retire on top or continue until they fall off? DJBooth’s Yoh (@yoh31) wrote an article a few weeks back discussing this topic. While in Los Angeles, we hooked up with Justin Hunte “The Company Man” (Ambrosia for Heads) and Justin Styles (All Def Music) to lend their thoughts on the topic.
– Dead End Hip Hop
Good talk. But since they asked: What are your thoughts?

Colin Kaepernick: GQ Magazine’s “Citizen Of The Year.†Here’s Why (Video)
November 15, 2017
I saw an attempt to reframe the whole ‘Kaep blackballed for #TakeAKnee‘ argument. Going so far as belittling his moves & societal standing. You might have seen it on Facebook or something: in essence saying current NFL standout JJ Watt raised millions for hurricane relief while Colin Kaepernick just gave a million or so.
Hey. JJ Watt did a great thing; inspiring others to join his cause. Colin is TRYING to do a great necessary thing; trying to compel law enforcement, lawmakers, and the uninformed majority to actually ACT like #BlackLivesMatter too. Yeah, less popular. Less money in it. But even though Colin’s number is “smaller,” the dollars are doing big things!
Watch. See why Kaep DESERVES to be “Citizen Of The Year!”

CyHi The Prynce – “No Dope On Sundays” (Album)
November 14, 2017
Yep. We are living in a time when NPR is repping the realest real music. G.O.O.D. Music in this case, as CyHi’s forthcoming “No Dope On Sundays” LP is the focus of this “First Listen” ep. And they are FEELING the words of The Prynce over there.
CyHi The Prynce brings Jesus to the trap and spits a testimony full of raw human contradiction.
– Rodney Carmichael, NPR
Ahhh, that explains the preacher’s collar CyHi’s been rocking lately.

Mysonne Speaks On It: Meek Mill’s Going Back To Jail Is ‘Bigger Than Meek’ (Video)
November 14, 2017
Okay, everybody believes in justice. But, when it comes to fitting the punishment to the crime, how far is too far? Interesting and compelling discussion here. Mysonne & Carmen Perez speak on the pending Meek Mill jail bid as an example and jumpoff point for extended discussion on a trend of unusual punishment, the scales of justice being unfairly tipped and more.

Jesus got a place for you. And Buddha got a different birthday but he got space, too.
Real talk. If you got presents on the 25th, or any holiday, be blessed. If you got a full plate at the table, be thankful and blessed. Some folks got two pennies. Some don’t get that. Be grateful… for whatever you got, for knowledge-wisdom-understanding, and for this dope “Christmas Missed Us” track from Blu & Exile just in time for the season.

Not that it’s anything to base what your personal experience with a movie will be like, but the ‘reviews’ on this western “Hostiles”… Whew! Might be too raw for some of y’all. Being called ‘one of the bloodiest westerns ever’ by some. Hopefully, it’ll be ‘bloody’ good, too.

Eye Candy: Demetria Obilor Is The Sexiest Traffic Reporter Ever! (Video)
November 13, 2017
I have been known to tell an insanely sexy woman (or three or more) that their beauty will inspire hate! Case in point: Demetria Obilor had to clapback on the semi-humble to check a hater that came for her online over her on-air style of dress when she reports on traffic.
Will y’all please let the sexy be great without the hate? Especially Demetria… mm mm mm! Mercy!!!
