Stephen A. Smith Speaks On How He Made His Way Into Sports Journalism And On Marijuana Use (Video)
June 14, 2018
Stephen A. gets a ‘loose’ as his situation will allow. You know, can’t really get smoked out on camera even when he is off work. Must maintain the rep. But he does tell The DoggFather about his body part preference on a woman (i.e. that he is a ‘bottom feeder’).
On the latest episode of GGN, Smith chopped it up with Uncle Snoop in the studio and told stories about climbing from New York City to the top of the sports media food chain, bringing Snoop on his early shows and, of course, the reasoning behind his famously anti-cannabis tagline, “stay off the weeeed†(“I got family members that do it, I got friends that do it, but it’s not about the weed, it’s about the fact that it’s costing you money!â€)

Ohhhh and wait until you see the Stormy Fronts weather forecast (wow)!

Corey Holcomb Speaks On How Hard It Was To See Kevin Hart Go Through Marital Issues And How Easy It Is To Cheat (Video)
June 12, 2018
Always great to catch Corey Holcomb on-air with interviews like this. For some reason, I had dismissed this one until now because I thought it was a Breakfast Club ‘throwback’ from way back. Still fresh though. And Corey, though toned down a touch, is still giving Yee and Envy that raw commentary.

I don’t think they ‘got it’ at the end when Corey was ‘pulling their leg’ a bit at the end. Still a great watch though. But why did he have to go in on President Obama like that though… because Corey, man. That part.

Jamie Foxx Speaks On Kanye West And Challenges He Has Had Regarding His Own Mental Health (Video)
June 11, 2018
Know what… if all the convo about Kanye’s actions and reactions serves to heighten awareness and sensitivity regarding mental health, esp. in the Black community, then maybe it will all be worth it. Got to be more than fodder for memes, right? Plus, look. Got Jamie Foxx giving his perspectives on mental health.
Jamie Foxx is known for his comedy, singing and Oscar-winning acting, but what you may not know is that, similar to his friend Kanye West, Foxx experienced his own mental health episode. Luckily, he had people in his corner to hold him down.

Everybody… make some noise! And if you were around when Kid ‘N Play were “Gettin Funky” and balancing dance moves and boom bap, prepare to go full ‘stan’ mode (like N.O.R.E.) for this episode of Drink Champs.
The duo unearths gems like how a piña colada bet led to them to touring with N.W.A., and why Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff were never going to do ‘House Party.’

Luenell Questioned Snoop Dogg On His “Ain’t No Fun If The Homies Can’t Have None” Lyric (Video)
June 8, 2018
Okay, Luenell came with the realest point with that talk about Snoop’s “Ain’t No Fun.” One of the funnest songs ever, as eff’d up as its concept is… But see, I don’t have a daughter. If you do, you might feel a bit different (or not).
Luenell shared her thoughts on our interview with 2Pac’s rape accuser Ayanna Jackson and the famed comedian questioned whether Jackson was “led to the wolves” after 2Pac left her in the room with his friends. She added that when it comes to men passing their girl around, Luenell says she asked Snoop Dogg about making it cool with “Ain’t No Fun.”

Nile Rodgers At The National Museum Of African American Music’s 2018 Legends Gala (Video)
June 8, 2018
I’m happy to see an incredible institution being built to pay homage and honor to our unique American art form.
Words from a dude that was there, before Hip-Hop THEN through its beginnings. DOPE! But… answer the man… WHY was it so HOT? Hahaaa!
Music Icon Nile Rodgers talks with DJ BLAK MAGIC about how he handled The Sugar Hill Gang sampling his song Good Times and how he feels about being honored by the National Museum of African American Music at their 2018 Legends Gala.
Did you know there was Sugar Hill Gang v. Nile Rodgers beef like that though? They squashed it, and made money, and J. Prince wasn’t even involved. We think (wink).
Pusha T Has ‘A Story To Tell’… On How Beef With Drake Got Started (Video)
June 7, 2018
So let’s get into it: What made Pusha T go at Drake to start this whole beef thing? Funk Flex gets the 4-1 on that (and more) in this talk. And for those who wonder if business plays into this…
I’m sure [Drake] is gonna put out an album that does numbers, so on and so forth. Great. But it’s not gonna be better than “Daytona.”
– Pusha T
So, yeah. It’s music biz. Industry involved, but still PRIDE involved, too.

Australian Couple Living Totally Off The Grid (Video)
June 7, 2018
I stay amazed at what folks are doing with tiny house and Earthship living projects. This couple has maxed the off-the-grid tiny house concept for reals though. Check it out!
This tiny house is ready for anything! Completely off the grid, this tiny home on wheels generates its own solar power, collects rainwater, uses solar water heating and even generates it’s own biogas for cooking.
Paul and Annett had been living the city life, in an apartment in Sydney, Australia. A desire to lower their impact on the earth and live closer to nature led them to designing and building their own eco-friendly tiny house powered by renewable energies and moving onto a remote property outside of Byron Bay.

Wood Harris Speaks On Hollywood, Hooping, And Being On ‘Above the Rim,’ ‘The Wire,’ And ‘The Breaks’ (Video)
June 6, 2018
Hey, that is some real talk about the way those actors needed to ‘move like the 90s’ to the Golden Era music… Glad Wood Harris was on ‘The Breaks’ (on VH1) and on-site to push for that realism.
Few actors hold it down for Hip-Hop culture as much as Wood Harris. From his early days on the silver screen alongside Tupac in Above the Rim and starring in Dame Dash’s Harlem classic Paid In Full, to his history-making role as Avon Barksdale in HBO’s The Wire, Harris has been in the spotlight for more than two decades.
On the latest episode of GGN, Harris got stoned with Uncle Snoop in the studio and told stories about making it in the movie industry from humble beginnings on the West Side of Chicago, impressing directors with his skills on the basketball court and, after chopping it up with Bishop Magic Don Juan on an impromptu phone call, broke down Hollywood’s accent-hiding secrets (we’re looking at you, Idris).
So grab your popcorn, fire up your favorite strain, and take a seat alongside The DoggFather for a conversation with one of the industry’s hardest working thespians. And for more Wood Harris, be sure to check him out alongside Michael B. Jordan in the upcoming Creed 2.

Good interview. And you know the Stormy Fronts weather report is always a good look on GGN!
