Eye Candy: Princess Love’s Sultry Dance Moves (Video)
September 29, 2017
Cot dammit! While I cannot, and will not, do the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ thing, I can admit that some Honeyz on there make my thing go SCHWING (Wayne’s World, party on Garth)! And watching Princess Love Norwood sexy dancing like this…wowzers!
No doubt, Princess put it on Ray J with moves like this. And he liked it. So, he put a ring on it!

RIP Hugh Hefner (Video)
September 29, 2017
Hugh Hefner. Playboy Magazine (and related enterprises) founder and mogul… All around player and lover of life… and young ladies (no hate, at all)… has passed at the age of 91… at the Playboy Mansion… of natural causes. A peaceful end to a remarkable life!
Actually, something about the way we saw him live, makes his passing from this mortal plane a bit less painful, doesn’t it? Forever in chill mode, cool parties, packed with the hottest people. A mag loaded with ‘unwrapped’ Eye Candy (that we actually did read for the articles… sometimes). So dope a player, that being his girlfriend took ‘girls from next door’ to Entertainment Television (E!) stardom (shout to Kendra Wilkinson).
And you know how we sometimes struggle to find noble things to say about the departed? Not even a struggle with Hugh Hefner. Black people like 1990 Playboy Playmate of the Year Reneé Tenison and legendary entrepreneur/activist/comic Dick Gregory will likely tell you about how Hefner was a player in a different way in life… hiring Black performers and integrating his Clubs (risking the business in some regions of the country). Yep, Hef was an impact player in the struggle for Civil Rights, a de facto activist, too.
Gonna miss you Hef. Thanks for the good times and good works. And farewell.

People Have Been ‘Disrespecting The Flag’ For Decades (Video)
September 28, 2017
Hmm… So why are these actual Flag Code violations (read: instances of disrespect for the flag) okay, but ‘taking a knee’ is not? Fact is, kneeling is NOT a violation of flag code. So, what now? Talk to us, ‘Murica.
Trump said NFL players disrespected the flag by kneeling during the national anthem. As it turns out, “disrespecting” the flag is probably more common than you think.

Sports/Politics: Nick Wright’s Question For People Angered By The #TakeAKnee Movement: What Are You Actually Mad At? (Video)
September 28, 2017
I’m not gonna engage on the absurdity that we just ran a clip where a player quotes the President Of The United States, and we felt we needed to bleep it.
– Nick Wright
Yeah. And this isn’t the first time the words of the POTUS have been ‘bleeped’… But let’s not engage in the folly for now.
Instead, let’s follow Nick’s lead. Let’s follow the line of reasoning, avoiding all the crazy and staying on that line… bypassing the false equivocations… walking past the baseless arguments of the Trumpeters and stepping over their misunderstandings, barreling through that wall protecting those who want to make ‘Murica great again, make football in ‘Murica great again, until we arrive at the heart of what those against the PEACEFUL #TakeAKnee movement are really against…
Because once we get to the end of that line of unreasonable, where folks in their feelings have nowhere to go and have to answer honestly about why they detest #TakeAKnee …”What Are You Actually Mad At?”
And before someone says it… we’re NOT going to ‘just stick to sports’ this time. I just want them to say the words.

September 28, 2017
Jump in the Brougham…beeyotch!
Hmmm… Several dogs, but looks like there are no actual bitches in this visual. Lots and lots of Honeyz in this for the Doggy Dogg’s dog. Literally brought sand to the beach in this visual. See what happens when you turn your son (Cordell Broadus) loose on a video, Snoop? Hahaaa! Guesting on the track: None other than Oaktown’s Too Short pimpin’!
“Neva Left” is out now.

Ari Lennox – “Night Drive” (Video)
September 28, 2017
What in “The Grudge” is going on in this “Night Drive” visual? Definitely an eerie Tim Burtony vibe to this vid. But focus maaaan! Ari Lennox is rolling with Dreamville, as in J. Cole’s crew. Nobody but the dopest can fly that flag. Plus, speaking of fly… doesn’t Ari cut quite the sexy silhouette as she is moving and cooing so silky smoothly?
Action/Fantasy/Thriller: Natalie Portman Stars In “Annihilation” (Teaser Trailer)
September 28, 2017
The teaser doesn’t give much away about the story, but it might give you a case of the heebies and the jeebies (that ‘music’ though)! A little digging… so Natalie Portman’s character’s husband got into a spot of trouble in a spot that’s like a dark Narnia meets the Savage Land meets the Bermuda Triangle. Guess the rest of the story will come to us on or before 1st quarter 2018.
Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, “Annihilation” stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (“Ex Machina,” “28 Days Later”).

How Star Trek’s Transporter Could Actually Work In Real Life (Video)
September 27, 2017
Well, hello! You had us at ‘Star Trek.’ But a real-life transporter? Amazing! Theoretically at least. And to all the nay-sayers… Shaddup!! This is just a pre-first attempt at it. Just thinking aloud about transporter tech. Where do you think the inspiration for the old mobile flip phones (‘Kirk to Enterprise’) and the iPad technology (thank you for the report, Yeoman Lady-In-The-Tight-Miniskirt) came from? Yeah, STAR TREK!
Of course, the whole make-a-copy-and-destroy-the-original idea that drives this… not really feeling that.

Murs And HipHopDX Present “Rap’s Generation Gap: Old Heads Vs. Young Bucks” (Video)
September 27, 2017
Yeah, RUN-DMC gave the rap game its own dress code (post ‘borrowed from Disco’ style)… Maybe their predecessors thought that was a step too far. And those shots taken at RUN-DMC by their peers and ‘descendants’… Maybe the young’ns are just taking shots and throwing rocks just as every youthful element of our ever-aging art of rap does to the elders in the game. Overall, solid commentary/history on the evolution of Hip-Hop. Respect to Murs (who is no slouch on the mic himself).
The generation gap in the Hip-Hop community is wider than ever. Classic Hip-Hop has its own radio stations in a few major markets because the old heads don’t want to hear all that new Mumble Rap. A lot of new rappers can’t even name one song by any of the classic Hip-Hop greats because, in their opinion, none of them measure up to Drake. The more either side opens their mouth, the wider the divide becomes. Do we continue to let nature take its course or do we attempt to bridge the gap? Is the gap even bridgeable? Rap’s Generation Gap: Old Heads vs. Young Bucks. Let’s break it down…
– Murs
(But sometimes we really want go ‘full Rapaport‘ though, Murs. Hahahaaaa!)

Dude. DUDE! It’s legend meets line-and-ink in this animated Black Samurai joint in development. Gotta make this happen! If Tom Cruise can be “The Last Samurai,” can we please get the first Black Samurai project greenlit & funded… please?
(Watch above and see how YOU can help, too.)
Good feeling about this. Lionsgate Films AND the dude that brought the Kitana blade-swinging, head-decapitating ‘Duncan MacLeod Of The Clan MacLeod’ to life (Gregory Widen) are already attached. Dope!

September 27, 2017
Hey, Big Head…
Got that text yet? Baahahaa! The funniest funny usually has a twinge of truth (at least) to it. Checked the weather recently? Noticed the days getting a bit shorter and the nights a bit longer? Overwhelming urge to ‘snuggle’ up much? Mm hmm, Cuffing Season is upon us! Fall is officially here, and you can expect a sharp rise in Bae Acquisition Rates (BARs, genius)!
But okay. RELAX! Take a minute to realize what you are getting into when you go hard trying to cuff that cuddle bunny before the cold sets in. One fur for the whole cold season… Still gonna do it, huh? Alright, player, you leave me no choice. Watch this. Laugh and learn!
Finding a bae may mean you have to share your fries. Dormtainment drops more science in this full episode of Black Geo. How is your baeship?

Good luck. And keep the February 14th deadline in mind. Ha!
(That one part with Cynthia Luciette in there. Mercy! Plus, several Honeyz in this. Now you gotta watch.)
