Arsonal | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #116 (Video)
November 29, 2018
GeeeeeYOTdam! Arsonal is a lyrical assassin… with a LOT of weapons and shots for WHOEVER want it! And he calls names in this no-let-up bar show he put on for Funk Flex.
Got so heated in there that Flex had to take the last couple of minutes to ‘de-escalate’ the situation. RAW!!!

50 Cent Almost… ALMOST… Offered The L.O.X. $1.5 Million Each To Sign With G-Unit (Video)
November 29, 2018
Not 100% sure how to judge the outcome of this. What do you think? Fif chose not to sign an act that he was once hyped enough to lay down 1.5 milly on? Could be seen as a very sharp turn on a very thin dime… then again, he had raw cold beef [nothing sweet, no ketchup, uncooked] with Ja Rule sooooo…

Anderson .Paak Speaks On ‘First Times’: Old Girlfriends, Blind Dating, And The Free Nationals (Video)
November 28, 2018
Pretty good interview. Plus, relatively short and sweet.
The FADER invited Anderson .Paak to come by the studio to take a look back at his humble beginnings on the drums at a church, the first memorable job he had, and a blind date to Olive Garden that ended before it even started. He ends his trip down memory lane with the first time he knew he could rock with the Free Nationals and the story behind creating “Suede” off of his ‘Yes Lawd!’ album with Knxwledge.

Stetsasonic’s Daddy-O Says Rakim Lied (Video)
November 26, 2018
Rakim…Is he the greatest emcee? No.
(Insert that disturbing record scratch sound here.)
Now, I am Stetsa Crew loyal for LIFE! Love Stetsasonic. So, I can admit to being torn about this. But not so much; need to hear who Daddy-O is thinking is #1. Besides, the throne is not truly the throne if it cannot be challenged. Word to Wakanda. The title of ‘greatest’ or ‘best’ or whatever MUST be able to be called into question if we are going to acknowledge or crown any royalty in Hip-Hop.
And that’s not even the controversy here. It’s the allegation that the G.O.D.M.C. lied. Watch and see exactly how Stet frontman Daddy-O says Rakim Allah lied…

Jill Scott Calls In To Speak On Her Recent Display Of ‘Skills On The Mic’ Going Viral (Video)
November 23, 2018
If you are looking for an apology for her flexing her extra sexy on stage recently (see here, again), Jill Scott does NOT have it for you. Sucka!
No need to apologize to me, at all, by the way, Jill. In fact, I want more… Wait what? No more shows for a while because WHAT?? Aw maaaan 🙁
Well, we understand. Tell Joe Budden all about it.

GZA Rates Republicans, White Castle, And Killer Bees As ‘Overrated’ Or ‘Underrated’ (Video)
November 22, 2018
Save the bees!
Interesting Over/Under answers. Though GZA says he has never seen a ‘sexy nun’ he did slip a slick line in about them, whether he realized it or not… that reference to them making a ‘habit’ of what they wear (e.g. nuns wear habits, get it?).

Another “enemy” of the people Trump’s with a rebuttal. Get him sista. GET HIM! Yeezus! When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Unless you’re Trump – who, as Gloria Berger aptly declares that he is “just defining the Presidency downward… every single day.” Damn. Just. Damn.

MC Serch Speaks On ‘The Gas Face’ And His Dealings With 3rd Bass, MC Hammer, And Nas (Video)
November 19, 2018
Point taken. It is probably appropriate to say that as far as ‘pure’ Hip-Hop for the Heads… Yeah, 3rd Bass was the first act with a White lead duo. Got the full interview MC Serch of 3rd Bass did with Vlad. Great insights… including a word on who actually owns Nas’ publishing rights. Start with part 1 above and keep watching after the jump.
Allen Iverson Speaks On Meeting Michael Jordan And Knowing The Notorious B.I.G. (Video)
November 16, 2018
Wow. A.I. knew Biggie like that. Got to think about that music project he was determined to drop at risk of torpedoing his pro ball career back in the day. Birds of a feather and such; wondering if he got a push, nod (or unh!) from Biggie if that rap career would have taken off.
(Okay, done thinking… NO WAY anybody gives up multiple MILLIONS for playing ball under contract for a ‘chance’ to make ‘some money’ in the rap game. NBA ‘bankshots’ paid WAY more than the ‘bank’ A.I. would have gotten as a rapper.
NBA legend Allen Iverson sits down with Complex’s Speedy Morman to drop gems on everything from his relationship with The Notorious B.I.G., to his conversation the first time he met Michael Jordan, to his iconic shooting sleeve, most memorable Kobe Bryant moment, opinion on the state of the NBA and more.

Jim Acosta Speaks On His Confrontation With President Trump (Video)
November 13, 2018
Remember when the question kept coming up during Campaign 2016, “Does Donald Trump have the TEMPERAMENT to be President of the United States?” That part.
Answer… NO, he does not.
Even if he thinks reporters are asking unfair or disrespect questions, this is NOT how the leader of the free world should respond. Point. Blank. Period. That said, the reporters, Jim Acosta included, were just doing their jobs. Not as the ‘enemy’ but they are allies; necessary in keeping us informed about what The President and other officials are doing in our name. But don’t you worry about The President attacking members of the press. They can take care of themselves, especially on CNN.
