Sean Paul and Chi Ching Ching Tasting And Teaching Jamaican Food & Culture To Horsepowar (Video)
October 24, 2018
‘First We Feast’ keeps coming up with good content. Of course, it is food-centered, so you know that will interest most humans. However, they really put work into the ‘human interest’ side of their series. This one on Jamaican Food, too.
Sean Paul is a dancehall icon and certified hit maker. But he’s also a ride-or-die obsessive when it comes to the food of his native Jamaica. Anxious to learn more about Jamaican curry goat, Horsepowar follows Sean and his latest Dutty Rock signee, Chi Ching Ching, to Glady’s Jerk Center in Brooklyn—a new-school home for Caribbean cuisine on Rogers Avenue. From a crash-course in patois, to a heated beef-patty taste test, Sean and Chi Ching school Horsepowar on all things Jamaican before diving into a couple heaping bowl of curry goat and oxtail. The Curry Shop heads to the Caribbean this week, and who better to breakdown the dos and don’ts than two generations of dancehall legends? Jeesam peas!

They lost Horsepowar with the patois at first. She had to call a timeout on the chit-chat. Ha!

Jada Pinkett Smith ‘Breaks’ Will At The ‘Red Table’ (Video)
October 23, 2018
I wonder how this ep came to be. I mean, I believe Jada was getting numbers and moving her own ship with her own steam. And while the ‘why’ behind husband Will saying ‘yes’ to a sit-down is a no-brainer, it doesn’t seem to be needed. Perhaps that makes it a bit more authentic: They/Will did not have to do this. But man, did he (one of the best)! Just watch. And these are just ‘outtakes’ (full episode embedded after the jump).
Following months of “Red Table Talk†shooting in their house, Jada Pinkett Smith invites Will on as a guest and he finally realizes the scope of her massive TV show.
Even posted it to his channel.
(Full disclosure: ‘Sesquipedalian’ is one of my favorite five-dollar words!)

Anderson .Paak Vs. The World’s Hottest… Vegan Nuggets (Video)
October 23, 2018
A vegan version of the Hot Wing challenge? Okay. So this time it’s about the heat, not the meat… Hmm, feels like I ought to say ‘pause’ here. Bwaahahaa!
Anderson .Paak is a critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated singer, rapper, drummer, and producer—but how is he with hot food? Find out as the multi-talented musician scurries up Mount Scoville with host Sean Evans, one hot sauce-drenched vegan nugget at a time. Along the journey, Anderson discusses opening for Beyonce, defends his Coldplay obsession, and gives details on his new Dr. Dre-assisted album, Oxnard, dropping November 16.

I will say this is probably the funniest convo during a Hot Ones challenge I have watched.

Styles P & Dave East Discussing If Lyricism Still Matters In Hip-Hop ‘For The Record’ (Video)
October 22, 2018
Does lyricism still matter? In a word, YES! Whether you believe it is ‘necessary’ for a joint to be called ‘real Hip-Hop’ to have it… that discussion being a thing, even today, lets you know that lyricism is still a thing.
Although Yonkers MC Styles P and Harlem rapper Dave East represent two different generations of Hip-Hop, each artist is known for his lyrical prowess. The duo recently teamed up for their joint project ‘Beloved,’ which densely packs vivid street tales throughout its 13 tracks. On the latest episode of ‘For The Record,’ the New York natives sat down with Genius’ Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman to discuss the collaborative album as well as the decline of lyricism in Hip-Hop.

Steve Harvey’s Response To An Audience With A Stuttering Problem Is Literally Therapeutic (Video)
October 22, 2018
Respek on Steve Harvey’s name for this. All this. The sista is beautiful. It was just that her situation was ugly. But it looks like that is about to look up for her.
When an audience member asks about dating with a stutter, Steve opens up about his own personal struggle. This may be the most powerful moment yet.
– Steve Harvey TV
I sooo wanted to start this post with just how fine the sista in this is… But I wanted her to be taken seriously (just as she desires, per the clip). Of course, I did slide her into the Noon spot (because she is definitely some Eye Candy).

Mike Tyson Speaks On His Comedy Show, Mental Health, And Tupac (Video)
October 19, 2018
Crazy to think that if history would have worked out differently, Tupac would likely telling stories about how he was there at the Tyson fights. Instead, we get Iron Mike talking about ‘Pac and the night he was shot. Understandably, this saddens The Champ; as it does us all.
Good interview. You can even fire one up and smoke out while you watch… That way you can truly be like Mike. Haha!

Sports/History: Tommie Smith Raised A ‘Black Power’ Fist During The Medal Ceremony At The 1968 Olympics… With No Regrets (Video)
October 19, 2018
Talk about REPRESENTING! You know the black and white video at the Olympic games back, back in the day, with the raised fists in it? Yes, this guy, that part!
Tommie Smith sits down with Bill Rhoden to discuss the 50th anniversary of his iconic gesture at the Olympics and how it is relevant in these times.
Shout to John Carlos (the other athlete who raised his fist on the podium), too. Watch this though. Great insights on what modern day athletes can and should be doing with their platforms for humanity, applauding Colin Kaepernick for his taking a knee and taking a stand.

Erika Alexander Speaks On Her Road In Life And Her Career So Far And Her Future Outlook For Entertainment And Her People (Video)
October 18, 2018
That title is a mouthful, and I swear it STILL does not begin to address the ground this interview covers. So full DJ Envy couldn’t even stay for the whole thing. Had Erika so ‘full’ talking about it she teared up at one point. And wow, Erika is still so gatdam beautiful… and insightful. Watch and digest. May need to rewind at a couple of points.

Politics: Dave Chappelle Speaks On Kanye West And President Trump (Video)
October 16, 2018
I’m not mad at Kanye. That’s my brother. I love him… I don’t have to agree with everything he says…
– Dave Chappelle
The REALEST talk while still keeping some of the funny in there. We’ve come to expect that from Dave Chappelle. Gotta imagine he has some empathy for an artist who the world has called ‘crazy’ (since he has been there himself).
Comedian Dave Chappelle and Maryland democratic gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous discuss the political divide in the US since President Trump was elected president with CNN’s Van Jones.

Great interview clip! Very thoughtful conversation.

Food: This Vegan Restaurant Insists It Serves ‘Cheese’… Even If It Is Non-Dairy (Video)
October 9, 2018
Crazy how I keep coming across more and more vegan stuff that I would scarf down, like, IMMEDIATELY! Like this stuff… making me an ‘Eat Seeking’ missile over here!
Chef Isa Chandra Moskowitz wants people to rethink the language they use when it comes to vegan food. The owner of Modern Love in Brooklyn, New York, believes people need to say the word “cheese,” even if they are referring to the non-dairy-based alternative. This is apparent on her menu, offering dishes like the modern cheese plate, an assortment of various vegan cheeses that imitate the flavors and textures of dill Havarti and chevre.
– Thrillist
Cheese glorious cheese (remember that commercial?); even this vegan variety gets me singing. And I haven’t even tried it yet #BucketList #FillMyBucketWithThis

Chrissy Teigen Vs. The World’s Hottest Hot Wings (Video)
October 9, 2018
Started the Hot Wing challenge like an O.G., but how will lovely Chrissy be at the end?
Chrissy Teigen kicks off Hot Ones Season 7 in dramatic fashion, taking one of the most unorthodox approaches we’ve seen yet to the wings of death. As she licks her way through the all-new hot-sauce lineup, the cookbook author, model, and entrepreneur discusses her most memorable Twitter wars, recommends the turkey leg at Medieval Times, and breaks down a no-fail recipe for Thai ribs. Watch the epic meltdown, and check out Chrissy’s new book, Cravings: Hungry for More.
– First We Feast
Wow. I just went back through the clip and found the HOTTEST ‘Hot Ones’ moment ever… at the 8:25 mark, when Chrissy asks Sean… “Can I suck on it?”
From that point on, the ‘challenge’ is very different… for me (whew)!

October 8, 2018
Snoop Dogg & Tamar Braxton in a ‘Redemption of a Dogg‘ play… ought to be worth the ticket price if you go to the theater for such. Support us doing us. Always a good look.
Good beginning. Talk from Snoop on faith fills it in; along with some Trumpster commentary and chat on Kanye.
In Houston for the premiere of his Redemption of a Dogg stage play, the West Coast icon stopped by the Madd Hatta Morning Show with Je’Caryous Johnson and Tamar Braxton to discuss the play, Snoop’s thoughts on Kanye, a wild story about B.B.
