No Malice – “So Woke” (Video)

Solid leak from the “Let the Dead Bury The Dead” from No Malice, lyrical content showing that the former Clipse rapper is “So Woke.” Kind of macabre, but got a feeling you will feel this one. The realest talk.

Michael Moore Calls A Racist A Racist, All Of Them… And Those Who Will Not Denounce Them (Video)

Anybody who enables, anybody who votes for and supports a racist, is a racist.
Michael Moore

The controversial filmmaker Moore has never had a problem calling it how he sees it. And in keeping with the lifted quote above, Moore is holding those who support the racist ralliers and those of their ilk – whether gathered at the Take ‘Murica Back rally in Charlottesville or not – just as guilty. Because #BlackLivesMatter or #AllLivesMatter or whatever matters to you aside, the venomous speech, vitriolic tone and victimization of those hurt by Neo-Nazi words and a wildly driven car… well, that all happened. And if you are not denouncing that, you are tacitly supporting it.

Live Footage From ‘United We Stand: Rally for Colin Kaepernick’ (Video)

When does a protest gesture become a movement? When others get involved. Rosa Parks took a stand by refusing to stand and go to the back of the bus, then boycott, then movement. Kaep took a stand by taking a knew because he felt he could no longer stand our American nightmare (injustice, police brutality) that is our current situation. You have no doubt heard talk about boycotting the NFL. Do we now have a movement?

Time will tell. But for right now, we do have a rally. Check it out.

We’re live at the NFL headquarters in NYC as demonstrators rally in support of unsigned quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Black Love: Remy Ma And Papoose (Video)

Hip-Hop’s most lovable lyricists tell us what’s real about their real love. Not surprising that this clip will make you go ‘awww.’ That’s what we are used to now. Not even surprised that they’ve lasted this long. After being loyal through Ma’s stretch in jail, why would Pap go anywhere? Devotion, his wifey being fire on the mic and fine everywhere else (rowrrr)… Sure, those things are part of the story… but watch and listen as the loving couple tell us more.

Respect for women; not just his woman. That got Ma, not the bars, huh? Interesting.

Donshea Hopkins Speaks On Life Before, During, And After ‘Power’ (Video)

Hope you’ve caught up on your Showtime viewing by now. In particular, I hope you already know what happened on this past Sunday’s episode of “Power.”

****SPOILER ALERT***

Well, the ‘Big Rich Town’ is a very sad place. The violent storm has finally taken someone that EVERYONE will miss: Ghost’s beautiful baby girl is gone. Reina (played by Donshea Hopkins) has fallen. And the “Power” watchers will tune in next week for two reasons… (1) to see what that damnable brother of hers, Tariq, is gonna do and (2) to see what Ghost & Tommy are gonna do (holyyyyy sh!t)!

But don’t cry too, too much for Reina… and you should only shed tears of joy for Donshea. She has been acting practically since right after she could walk. And she has a couple of roles she might revisit (like the series that put Netflix on the map, “Orange Is The New Black”). Click play and tune into Donshea’s radio interview embedded above for the skinny on all that and more!

AMC Screens “The Walking Dead” Season 8 Teaser At SDCC (Trailer)

Aw HELLLLLLL naw! That could NOT be all a dream. I will go on record saying how lame that would be. So, no, the nightmare world king of AMC Originals, “The Walking Dead,” was all real. I declare it!

(Okay, as real as a zombie series can get on TV. And after watching the Comic Con trailer above, you will see just how real sh!t can get!)

Comic-Con 2017 Debuted An Extended Official Trailer For “The Gifted” (Video)

Ought to categorize this under MMM, Mutants Making Money! We know Logan and X-Men movies do well at box office cash registers, but will mutants help Fox TV sell cereal and soap? Oh, you can count on it.

As an (intended, or not) counterweight to its DC-based pre-Batman “Gotham” series, the network is now set to give us another hero genre series, but from the Marvel side this time, “The Gifted.” We posted a trailer on here earlier, but this was the one folks saw at this year’s San Diego Comic Con… where sci-fi and fantasy shows always go bigger and better with the teasers.

Technology: Hexa Is A Six-Legged ‘Bug Bot’ (Video)

Brrrr! This might give you the shakes. This robot is both creepy and amazing, but you can teach it your own tricks! Looks kind of like a forerunner of the version of the Sentinels that are in the trailers for the mutant thriller series, “The Gifted,” debuting this Fall on Fox.

Very creepy.

An OWN Series On “Black Love” (Series Trailer)

The good, the bad, and the married. Ha! That’s a flip of an iconic tagline if I ever read one. I’m sure couples in this new OWN series will admit to and give advice on the good and bad of long-term relationships and marriage, too. Check out the series trailer for OWN’s new docu-series, Black Love.

Black Love brings you the first-hand accounts of love from every-day couples and a star-studded line up featuring Viola Davis, Tia Mowry & Cory, Meagan Good & DeVon Franklin, Flex Alexander & Shanice, Warryn Campbell & Erica Campbell and more. Don’t miss the premiere, Tuesday, Aug. 29th at 10/9c.

Watch The “Fear The Walking Dead” Season 3 Trailer Shown At SDCC 2017 (Trailer)

If you have not been keeping up with “Fear The Walking Dead” (or worse yet, have not gotten into the series)… It is okay. You have time to binge before it starts back up again. Get with your cable provider and get into the On Demand section. Watch some excellent zombie-genre television.

Now, that is my opinion and plea for you. But watch what the pros teased and lured San Diego Comic Con attendees with this year. Dope right?

Theo E.J. Wilson’s TED Talk About Insights He Gained From Infiltrating The Alt-Right (Video)

“I became Lucius25, White supremacist lurker, and digitally I began to infiltrate the infamous alt-right movement.”
— Theo E.J. Wilson

Interesting point Wilson makes not too far in. The things we see online today are fed to us by an algorithm that determines what we might buy, and what we want to see & hear, and feeds us mre and more of that… and just that. So liberal feed fed Theo comes up with the idea of creating Lucius25 super-racist, and troll those who would troll him.

And he came to a new understanding about it all. Very interesting watch!

Dance: Niteshifters – “Huge Disco” (Album)

It pays to clean out the ol’ inbox… noted. Found email about this funky disco disc (okay, digital album) from Niteshifters in there. It’s called “Huge Disco”… kinda straight forwarded but hella good. I got that Daft Punk “Lose Yourself To Dance” feel from it. See what you feel about it. Listen to the sampler below.

Eye Candy: Hoopz Hooping (Video)

So this is what it takes to get Nicole ‘Hoopz’ Alexander huffing and grunting “Yes! YES!” Taking note of that… AND of the thickest Honey-coated thighs… better than a KFC two-piece #LookingSweetAndTasty

Sammy Davis, Jr.

And that’s how the trailer for this installment of “American Masters” starts! Definitely a different time back then, and Sammy Davis, Jr. was right there in the think of entertainment’s elite. See his story told as only PBS can.

Science/Advice: Lower Your Chances Of A Being Attacked By A Shark (Video)

YES! Finally, I get an expert to say what I have been telling folks ‘on the record’… if you want to avoid getting ‘shark bit’… don’t be in the damned water with them!

But some of y’all ocean-lovers, including my SCUBA-diving brother BoneBreaker Jones, just HAVE to do it. So, okay, watch this clip and learn how to minimize the risk of being victimized (e.g. being bit the f*ck out of) via shark attack.
