This is why it is good to squash beef whenever possible. Remember that friction between Jeezy and Rozay back in the day? No? Good! DJ Khaled throwing on a beat and letting Jeezy & Rick Ross put some “Big Boy Talk” on it oughta lay that memory to rest for the rest who do. Press play! More proof that “Father Of Asahd” got that WORK!

June 6, 2019
Hahaaa! Is Juicy J gonna really reveal ‘How To Get A Girl To Slob On Your Knob, Like Corn On The Cob’ though? Maaaaybe. But he will give you some ‘advice’ you can use (at your own risk… the views expressed by Juicy J are blah blah you know the rest).
I need a bit of a late pass. But I came across this after clicking on another ‘Relationship Advice’ vid that was not as good but more recent. I went with this one. You’re welcome!

Crazy Mike Tyson Stories (Video)
June 6, 2019
As told by those who lived them, these are some of the illest instances of The Champ going full Mike on motherf**kers. They weren’t ready. Good or bad, they just weren’t ready for the level of craziness. Don’t know if you are even ready to hear these stories. But you’re going to. Press play.
(And that situation the L.O.X. had with Tyson… the winner and still champion crazy story… Catch that after the jump.)

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Skyzoo sighting! Caught recently holding down the anchor emcee spot on this Dana Coppa jawn entitled “Paper.” The song and Dana are dope to be certain. For those who are not all the way up on Coppa’s pedigree, hit the jump for his background (bio).

Combat Sports And Hip Journalist Ismael AbduSalaam Speaks On ‘Beats, Boxing & Mayhem’ On Odell’s Roundtable (Video)
June 4, 2019
Aha! My dudes! A no-brainer that I had not thought of… until Odell put it together here. Why not have @ArtByOdell and BeatsBoxingMayhem’s Ismael AbduSalaam just start talking and record the jewels! Yeah. And how much content are we talking here? Enough such that we had to post the two-parter. Start above, and continue after the jump.
Ismael AbduSalaam is a well respected journalist who covers Music & Boxing primarily. He joined me on the Roundtable where we talked how he got into covering Boxing & working with great sites like AllHipHop.com before creating his own site BeatsBoxingMayhem.com. I also shared with him how I almost got into a fight at a Camp Lo concert he was covering for AllHipHop.com which if it happened might have changed the chance of us ever meeting.
– ArtByOdell
WHAT??! Somebody disrespected Odell and his lady?? Why do I still feel a way about that? Like I need to pick up something blunt and get my bro’s back on that… But it’s over. It’s just that Odell is such a chill dude. Anybody starting sh!t with him gets me heated. Wooosah!

Watch “25 Years Of Ill Communication” On The Beastie Boys (Documentary)
June 4, 2019
Nice documentary “Still Ill”… 25 Years after the release of “Ill Communication” by the Beastie Boys.
‘Still Ill: 25 Years of the Beastie Boys’ “Ill Communication”‘ features Michael “Mike D†Diamond and Adam “Ad-Rock†Horovitz diving deep into the making of the band’s epic 1994 album – and, arguably, one of their high points as artists and generational touchstones. The 15-minute documentary tracks the Beastie Boys’ rejuvenation in the years after the release of 1989’s Paul’s Boutique – now considered a masterpiece but at the time a commercial flop – first with 1992’s Check Your Head and ultimately with Ill Communication, which produced the epic single and music video “Sabotage†and returned them to playing arenas.
Featuring interviews with Diamond and Horovitz from this March in Austin, Texas — as well as new interviews with keyboardist Mark “Money Mark†Nishita and producer Mario Caldato and rarely-seen 1990s footage of the band – Still Ill focuses heavily on late Beastie Boy Adam “MCA†Yauch and his contributions to Ill Communication. Through footage and the words of his friends, the documentary captures Yauch’s journey into activism, which would blossom with the Tibetan Freedom Concerts later in the decade, as well as his famous denunciation of misogyny in Hip-Hop on the single “Sure Shotâ€: “I want to say a little something that’s long overdue / The disrespect to women has got to be through / To all the mothers and sisters and the wives and friends / I want to offer my love and respect to the end.â€
Accompanying the video is the long-form audio documentary of the same name, exclusive to Amazon Music: a 40+ minute deep dive featuring longer interviews with Horovitz and Diamond as well as six full songs from Ill Communication. The extended audio documentary is available to hear on Amazon Music for any Amazon Prime member, or any subscriber to Amazon Music Unlimited. Just ask Alexa to “play Still Ill†on Amazon Music today.

Killer Mike Speaks On His Upbringing In Activism & Campaign 2020 (Video)
June 4, 2019
‘Trigger Warning’ is as much a tribute to public broadcasting television as any Michael Moore film… PBS taught me it’s okay to put a message in what you’re doing. It’s okay to be overtly positive in that message. I got that directly from Public Broadcasting…
– Killer Mike
That’s DOPE! And many people shed a tear over that Mr. Rogers documentary to be certain.
C Tha God & Killer Mike with some REAL conversation on segregation, reparations, Bernie Sanders, the 2020 Campaign and more. Great episode of Emerging Hollywood.
Grammy Award winner Michael Render and host of Netflix’s ‘Trigger Warning with Killer Mike,’ joins Charlamagne Tha God in episode 5 of ‘Emerging Hollywood.’ He talks about the history of segregation in the United States, reparations and H.R. 40, Bernie Sanders, the 2020 presidential election, and more!
