Opinion: Andrew P. Napolitano Asks “What if…?” (Video)

Full disclosure: This message is offered from a Conservative on a Republican-leaning network that caters to Conservative audience. Heck, even the tube poster advertised the Tea Party website. But don’t let that stop you from watching, even considering thoughtfully, what is being said. Just use your big adult brain. Realize that everyone has a “slant” – that all commentators color their analyses in some way.

As it applies here, look past the coy shots at the Obama Administration and such, and ask yourself the ‘What If’ questions that Andrew P. Napolitano poses. Might make you think…differently. And that’s okay. Just look for your own angle to examine things; find your own truth, as an independent thinker.

Very interesting, especially given the timeframe of this broadcast (about four years ago) and today’s realities.

Miguel – “Wildheart” (Chapter 1) [Short Film]

Crazy thing is… that at one time folks called Miguel’s sexuality into question. But he never responded with hate or seemed fake. Just kept keeping it real (and real freaky) with the interviews, music and performances. Now dude has positioned himself as the ultimate lover, even giving advice on ‘sensual strategy.’ And he is following some of his own advice in the short film (pretty much 3 music vids in 1) named for (and promoting) his “Wildheart” album. Check out the film’s Chapter 1 above; and the album link below.

Suicide Squad (Comic-Con Trailer)

Dude! August 5, 2016 like whoa!! DC will have the theaters jumping with this “Suicide Squad” movie.

Say what? Sure it’s over a year from now, but time will fly; and it will be worth the wait. Just check out the trailer above. It starts with dark ops orchestrator, administrator and government nightmare-maker Amanda Waller (played by Viola Davis) talking with [gotta be] General Eiling about giving the worst of the worst super-villains one last shot at redemption… her way… going on her missions. It’s what she does (Google her DC character; she’s a BEAST and some other b-words hahaha). Of course, Batman and Superman wouldn’t be happy with her moves; but they never are (seriously, Google her).

Well… they have their own thing popping in 2016 though. Whew! DC is going HARD in the theaters next year, huh?

Then peep the cast (see Will Smith in there?) picked to play these degenerates-turned-sorta-heroes.

Tragedy – “Modern Day Gangsta” feat. KRS-ONE x A.G. (Prod. By Stricknine)

“Modern Day Gangsta” is a wake up call to the passive, who just ride along with the current power structure and status quo. Not just a nudge though, more like a shot fired to start another volley in the revolution. First trigger is pulled by the leader of this lyrical skirmish, the Q-Borough’s Tragedy Khadafi. Then the Boogie Down great, KRS-ONE “The Teacha” gives us some edutaining commentary on “Gangsta” politicians. Then comes A.G. of DITC Crew talks about police murder, the hostility and reality. The trio is putting the message into your ears, to get into your mind and body; to reenergize the soul of the movement. It’s a powerful elixir laced with (and by) Stricknine.

Gangbanging and pimping. And more. Let’s get some Left Coast perspective, shall we? Hit the jump below and click play.

Cashflowharlem – “Ladies vs Thots” (Video)

When the message is real, the music gets through. This dude Cashflowharlem had some homegrown vids make their way around the web. Now he has taken one and given it the true music video treatment. Warning: If this “Ladies vs Thots” visual touches a raw nerve, you might wanna reevaluate who you are ‘touching’ on a regular basis. But this is raw Hip-Hop. It ought to only touch those nerves that make your head nod…and think.

After millions of views of his wildly popular in-car freestyles, Cashflowharlem finally steps out the car to show the world what the difference is between a Lady and a Thot is in his visually pleasing way with a great underlying plot. The video stars the wildly popular Cardi B and Super Producer Remo The Hitmaker.

CashFlow aka Cashflowharlem aka The Prince of Harlem is an Indie artist from the NYC (Harlem World, of course). You can follow on Twitter @Cashflowharlem to keep up with him.

(Oh, and you know folks wanna be ‘keeping up’ with Cardi B’s superthick azz, too. I mean, c’mon… you saw I waited until the nooner time to post this, right? Just saying.)

Inside Magic City: Legendary Strip Club Is Home To Upcoming Trap Rappers’ Dreams (Documentary) [NSFW]

WE SWEAR Future’s documentary with GQ Magazine on the legendary ATL home of the thickest, sexiest strippers, Magic City, is NOT SAFE FOR WORK! The thrust of the story being told is the hustle – rappers trying to get on, strippers taking their clothes off. Woooo! The ‘skrippers’ get azzhole naked in Magic City. Watch for for your nasty side for sure; BUT take away the butt naked truth While many rappers haves being shared in here, too. Rappers visit and hound DJs but very few get to have their tracks played to have the strippers shake to (and hopefully convince radio insiders to give a couple a spins). And the strippers ARE NOT TRYING TO GO HOME WITH YOU…but for $10,000 they will make you think they are. They are trying to get their money (read: your money, playa); as much and as quickly as possible…since they know they are not getting any younger.

It’s a game, baby. And everybody is trying to win. Which means some folks lose. However, watching this video (away from young eyes, and your boss’) feels like a win…cheezuussss!!

Watch the 20-minute presentation above featuring commentary from Future, DJ Esco, Lil Magic and some of the club’s popular dancers.
