Dee Rees, Known For HBO’s “Bessie Smith” (Starring Queen Latifah), Directs Another Period Film For Netflix, “Mudbound” [Trailer]
September 11, 2017
World War II is over, but the battles back home continue in this big-screen adaptation of Hillary Jordan’s 2009 novel, “Mudbound.” Two very different families struggle to make against each other and against the forces keeping them from the American Dream… in Mississippi. Yeah, it is that kind of movie, but it is also so much more. Two soldiers from the War, bound by the horrors of a War in which each mightily fought, return home to find that their respective families are NOT that close.
Two families working the Mississippi Delta, but living worlds apart. A Netflix film, Mudbound, Premiering November 17.

Politics/Comedy: Seth Meyers Says, “Hey, Hillary Clinton, Stop Blaming Bernie Sanders” (Video)
September 11, 2017
Okay, I will admit to not watching a whole lot of Late Night With Seth Meyers. No reason. No hate. Always thought dude was funny. Plus, there’s the YouTube… where apparently the system knows I would like some stuff he says and suggests his clips to me.
Know what? YouTube is RIGHT! This “Hey!” clip is EPIC!
I did not even know Senator Clinton was throwing the shade at Senator Sanders in her book like that. And don’t worry, I got a clip with Bernie Sanders giving a rebuttal, with a pivot, to focus us on the REAL issues. No matter what, we need to keep our eyes on the prize(s) in #FeelTheBern mode after the jump.
But wait! Watch the hilariousness (and insight) above from Meyers.
(Full disclosure: I have not read Hillary Clinton’s book. Probably good though.)

Trina Talks About ‘Catty’ Women, A New Album With Trick Daddy, And Starring On ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami’ (Video)
September 11, 2017
Hmm… Gotta love Trina for her lasting, lovely looks. Still beautiful after all these years. Bringing sexiness to Hip-Hop circles for certain.
But you know, many would say the same about Amber Rose. So, okay, The Drink Champs can now boast that BOTH have been on the show. And both (you’ll see) made great guests. Very engaging convo as the libations flow.

That bathtub water probably tastes like the sweetest mocha latte ever… at least, looking lustfully at this dreamy coffee-n-creamy video it would seem.

Tall Tales? Nah, All Truth From Lil’ Cease Talking With The ‘Drink Champs’ (Video)
September 8, 2017
Never before has that Andre 3 Stacks lyric seemed more apropos. Every other sentence in this libation-laced pow-wow should end with, “Let the liquor tell it.” Incredible (almost “Unbelievable”… get it? Because Biggie)!
Joined by Jadakiss, Lil’ Cease, the Junior M.A.F.I.A. member, tells never-before-heard tales on Drink Champs with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. Lil’ Cease reveals Outlawz told him Tupac was ready to squash B.I.G. beef. On Drink Champs, the Junior M.A.F.I.A. frontman tells phenomenal stories detailing being the driver of a car accident that left Biggie hospitalized for months; Notorious B.I.G.’s aspiration for life after the “Life After Death” LP; and Jadakiss chimes in on who was targeted on some of Biggie’s “You’ll See” rhymes. (Here’s a hint: their name rhymes with ‘The Fox’).

Watch “The Confession Tapes” Documentary On Netflix (Trailer)
September 7, 2017
Wowwww. Incredible how we might think there is no way we would confess to a crime if we did not do it; especially a crime like murder. But yeah, you would, at least, according to this investigative documentary. Watch the trailer. Understand that EVERYONE has a breaking point… that if the ‘authorities’ want a confession, it is likely they WILL get one… even if the accused is facing serious time or death!
Man. Netflix is home to some serious documentaries. Click the pic and check out the trailer for “The Confession Tapes.” Be aware and wary.

First Feature Film On The Life Of Grace Jones… Ever (Trailer)
September 7, 2017
From music to action fantasies like “Conan The Barbarian” to comedies like “Boomerang”… we’ve seen the carefully-crafted public persona of Grace Jones (and impersonations of such). But what is she really like? Does she really randomly yell challenge questions like, “Do you find me sexy!!?” to people? Get naked in a nanosecond? Flip the switch and knuckle up, ready to throw down at a moment’s notice? Is she ever vulnerable, or is she always a rocker made of rock? We really don’t know, one way or the other, do we? Even after all these years.
However, a cinema verité-style film, “Grace Jones: Bloodlight & Bami,” promises to give us the real. Check out the trailer for a taste of just how real.
Sneaker Shopping With Meek Mill (Video)
September 7, 2017
Meek Mill’s don’t-call-it-a-comeback is coming along just fine. Through the beef with Drizzy, dealing with the Remy-vs-Nicki fallout… Philly’s son stood tall on his own two feet through it all. Never fake. Real, from head to toe. Right down to his shoes. Speaking of which…
Meek Mill goes Sneaker Shopping with Joe La Puma at Stadium Goods, and talks about looking up to Allen Iverson and moving on past his Puma deal.
