Davey D caught up with comedians & political/social activists Dick Gregory & Paul Mooney earlier today on this new TradioV [Radio In TV] program I believe that just kicked off today. There’s many jewels dropped in this video if you pay attention. Check out this very interesting interview that just concluded just minutes ago via livestream. The livestream starts with several seconds of music before the show starts with video…

Nightline: 50 Cent In Somalia (Video)

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo playerI remember getting into little debates with people on the radio about 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson & one of those small debates were about his ability to give other people opportunities instead of bloodsucking their talents & resources like many artists/ceo’s in hip hop that I won’t mention at this time. Recently 50 Cent appeared on ABC’s Nightline special as he made a trip to Somalia as part of his efforts to help feed a billion people which is a part of his Street King humanitarian initiatives. I honestly believe 50 is not doing all of this as a publicity stunt. I truly believe that’s the kind of guy he really is personally. A good dude who life’s circumstances necessitated that he move in a manner to survive from the streets & in the music industry, but his heart was always in a good place.

It’s a channel where new artists can share their work in the way it was meant to be: raw, uncut, and uncensored.

MTV Names Their Hottest Rappers In The Game For 2012 (Video)

I labeled this as “MTV’s Hottest Emcees Rappers In The Game” because not everyone on this list is an “emcee”….some are just rappers or singers. Either way it is what it is…Rap lists these days don’t hold much weight, but if you’re a real hip hop head like myself then you’ll chuckle out loud at some of things said by people on this panel. Ah well…What’d you expect from MTV & the current state of radio & rap music these days…Overall it’s just a reflection of how bad “mainstream” rap music is. There’s plenty of great music out there, but most of it ISN’T on the radio unfortunately. One thing I was surprised about was seeing the homie @BosNaud was on this panel. I haven’t looked at all the vids as of yet so I hope he represented well. Check out links to the discussion on the other candidates on “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers On The Radio Payola” “MTV’s 2012 Hottest Rappers In The Game” list below….

Black & Latino In The U.S. (Video)

My homie & dope visual artist Dubelyoo brought this interview to my attention with entertainers who happen to be both Black & Latino. It’s funny how some people I know are ignorant how you can be both, but I blame that on their inability to travel. What some people fail to realize is that being “Latino” is more centered on “culture” more so than “race”. Check out this interesting interview of the experiences from entertainers such as Laz Alonso (“Avatar”, “Jumping the Broom”), Tatyana Ali (“Fresh Prince of Bel Air”), Gina Torres (“Suits, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”) and Judy Reyes (“Scrubs”), musicians Christina Milian (“Dip it Low”) and Kat DeLuna (“Whine Up”), and journalist Soledad O’Brien
