Rapper Big Pooh x M-Dot – “The Beginning” (Prod. By Pause Beats)

For every great story, the starting point isn’t always the most optimistic. And when two respected, accomplished artists collaborate it doesn’t always mean there will be chemistry. Good news here, though… maaaad chemistry!!!

Boston’s M-Dot and Rapper Big Pooh (of Little Brother fame) drop their latest tune, “The Beginning,” over a soulful instrumental by Sweden’s Pause Beats. The track also features the sultry vocals of Sabina Ddumba on the chorus.

The Continuing Rise In Brazilian Butt Lifts & The Pressure To Be Curvy (Video)

Hmm. Did not know that Oprah brought this trend to light way back when it started. SUre wish the ladies did not feel like they need to risk their health and lives to get those bumps and humps we like. Please find those who love you just as you are ladies and rock with them. We cannot appreciate anything about that ‘new’ body if you are gone. Don’t give in to the pressure.

That said, I know it cannot be easy to live in a world where there is such social pressure to do what others (stars especially) already do to be more appealing. Watch this discussion on it whether you are thinking of doing something to your body or not, or know someone who might. Understanding is key.

In today’s social media society, Black women are faced with the pressure to be curvy. With the rise of the Kardashian Klan and the affordability of a Brazilian butt lift, the panel comes together to discuss the recent surge in plastic surgery amongst Black women. Can you go under the knife and still love yourself?

Comedy: The SquADD Debates On ‘The Best Midnight Snack’ (Video)

Spaghetti, cereal, pizza… hmm… pretty middle-of-the-road midnight snacks. But that idea for reheating pizza midway through this – warm a slice in the microwave for some seconds THEN toast the bottom in a skillet for some seconds – FIRE!! Sooooooo gonna try that. And so NOT waiting until midnight. Why wait until midnight for pizza awesomeness?

(But the joke shots at poor Patrick. They shut the whole shoot down cracking him on his choco-almond snack. And he was the DIRECTOR for this vid. Guess the SquADD doesn’t take direction. Hahahaaa!)

Mýa – “With You” feat. My Guy Mars (Video)

Smooth and easy. Still hot! Like Mýa after all these years. She just doesn’t age, but the content stays ‘grown-up’ (though the feature by My Guy Mars is more like ‘what the kids are into nowadays’).

Hasan Minhaj On ‘Drug Pricing’ (Video)

Hard work keeping the funny in this half-hour monologue on a very serious matter: Price gouging by Big Pharma at the expense of more than half the U.S. citizenry. But Hasan did it.

On the latest episode of Patriot Act, Hasan dissects one of America’s most pressing issues: the rising cost of prescription drugs. Hasan breaks down how America’s complicated healthcare industry has lead to these price hikes over the past few decades, and looks specifically at how increases in insulin prices have impacted the millions of Americans that need it to survive.

Calling out the clout chasing ‘Glory Hunters’ to a chant vibing 50’s “Window Shopper”… flavor! Funk Flex gave up the host chair (sorta) to let Rich The Kid bring us Afro B on this freestyle ep. Word.

WHAT???! Method Man & Redman Will NOT Star In “How High 2” (Video)

Damn right Redman felt disrespected that he and Method Man were kept in the casting, or even in the friggin’ loop, for “How High 2.” Respek on his name for not going at Lil Yachty & DC Young Fly though. No need to trash the young bros. Not their fault. Lift them up. Hope they do well in it.

We interviewed Redman recently and asked him how he felt about being replaced with Lil Yachty and DC Young Fly on the sequel to his movie with Method Man “How High.” Full Interview coming soon.
– HipHopDX

Okay. But I will be on the lookout for that new Red & Meth movie project… whatever it is, whenever it is ready!

JR Writer – “Run Tory Run” (Prod. By Criss Childs)

Wasn’t really checking for the Tory Lanez rap challenge and response drama. Then I came across the video of Lanez backing down one of the emcees that responded with the smoke and was like ‘Wow, it got personal and HEATED with Dax… damn’ (see after jump). THEN I saw this from JR Writer.

That sht he pulled with the kid Dax was CORNY.. stop making challenges if you can’t handle the pressure.. PERIOD.
JR Writer on YouTube

So, JR did not approve of Tory backing down Dax over a track (ya think?). He even wrote a song about it. Wanna hear it? Here it go! Next in a long line of ‘challenge accepted’ submitters, this “Run Tory Run” from the former Dipset spitter.

‘Officer Clemmons’ Speaks On Being Black In “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” (Video)

Hope you got to spend Valentine’s Day celebrating love in some way. I sat down and watched a documentary on a legend who lived a life of love; influencing generations to be better people as he made his way in the world. Man, if only we had Mr. Rogers around now. Rest in peace to the legend Fred Rogers.

Then I found this Great Big Story on ‘Officer Clemmons’ on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. So wonderful!

Remember Officer Clemmons, the policeman from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood?” Actor Francois Clemmons was initially reluctant to take the role. Growing up in the late ’60s, Clemmons didn’t have a positive opinion of the cops at the time. But Fred Rogers convinced him, and Clemmons became one of the first Black actors to have a recurring role in a children’s TV program.
– Great Big Story

You gotta watch this story and check for the “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” documentary on HBO or on-demand on YouTube. Well worth watching!
