What’s the best way to cool down a hot mouth? Can we tell the difference between chain pizza and legit NYC slices? What’s the best cocktail you can make with Emergen-C? On “Down the Hatch,” we are putting our own tongues to task to taste test the wildest foods, drinks, and recipes for your own personal benefit. Thank us later. Or, maybe in the comment section?

Nipsey Hussle Speaks On His ‘Side Hustle’ (Video)
January 24, 2019
Nipsey is the hustle! All sides. But that’s what we are here for; learning about the ‘Side Hustle’ of Neighborhood Nip. And we’re here for everything the homie has to share/teach.
Considering his name, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Nipsey Hussle is always on the grind. Raised in the streets of Crenshaw, Los Angeles, the independent rapper has quickly built his own empire to last: In addition to his All Money In record label, Marathon Clothing line and retail store, Nipsey has invested in the business incubator, Vector.90, as a way to connect with next-gen geniuses. In the West Coast edition of Side Hustle, Hussle breaks down his money moves, a major business loss that turned into a lesson and why he’ll never stop betting on himself.

Advice: Les Brown Declares That It ‘Pays to Be Hungry’ (Video)
January 22, 2019
Les Brown… if you want to do anything worthwhile in life, you’ve got to be HUNGRY!!!
– Mr. Washington
We’re almost clear of the “resolution season,” so this isn’t about making you want to make one… and motivation to do so, or to see one you’ve already made through, has to well up from within. So, no, inspirational speaker Les Brown is not speaking on this to give you goals.
However, by the time the clip is over, you really should be thinking about them and how hard you WILL go for them starting NOW!
Les Brown is considered to be one of the greatest speakers the world has ever seen. But growing up labeled ‘educable mentally retarded’ made it virtually impossible for him to get there. Young, ready and hungry, Les Brown reveals how he scored his dream job in the most impossible way.

E-40 Speaks On His ‘Side Hustle’ (Video)
January 21, 2019
Nice, Tidal. Very nice. Sharing insights on a true rapper / ENTREPRENEUR (yes, all caps on purpose because ‘shouting’ for emphasis) like the Fawty Water.
E-40 has been a West Coast rap ambassador for over three decades but his empire extends beyond his witty slang and hyphy catalog. In this episode of Side Hustle, the Vallejo native details the profitable and sometimes painful lessons he learned while building his business portfolio of wine, cognac, a meats company and other investments.

She Said You Could Smash. But Should You? (Video)
January 18, 2019
The very stacked Brookelyn came through, said she was down [TF], threw some drinks & drugs down, but passed out before you could even get your draws down. It’s a pop quiz that should NOT even be a quiz, fellas. Watch and see ‘What Would Should You Do?’
Admittedly, the clip could be funnier; but the message couldn’t be more timely. Enjoy the weekend. Have fun. Be responsible.
