Interview: 3D Na’Tee Is Not Trying To Offend You, But She’s Not “Not Trying To” Either (Video)
Mm mm mm, 3D Na’Tee!
Right from the top… I got a correction: The challenge is that you are FINE AF, Na’Tee. That’s a fact. Which gets you pigeon-holed as a FEMALE emcee, and getting invited to be back stage instead of ON stage. You’re always impressive nonetheless. Just saying, no name-calling needed, but if you were less attractive or less skilled like some folks, or if you were something other than authentically you… it’d be a different situation altogether for you.
That said, you MUST be YOU. Please, stay true to YOU, Na’Tee. I have followed you for years and applauded you for being that way every step of the way! The world needs you just as you are. Gorgeous in ALL ways. So the quote says:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
– Marianne Williamson
Yes! Liberate us, Sis. LIBERATE US!!!
I’m saying though: Just um… don’t be mad at me for staring. I mean the barz got me like daaaamn! But so does the bod #Confession #Facts #YeezusWEST #YouBLESSED

J.J. Watt Tells Jimmy And Sean That The ‘Air Hurts’ While Eating These Hot Wings (Video)
I’m starving. Let’s go!
Look, Fallon already KNOWS what this is… and he is gonna dance with the devil AGAIN (fool)! And they are only doing four bites for this “Tonight Show” version of Hot Ones with JJ Watt. On flame! I’m already calling it.
J.J. Watt and Jimmy go head-to-head eating spicy wings that get progressively hotter as Hot Ones host Sean Evans grills them with questions.

Hit the jump for more hilarity. They actually try to do an interview right after the Hot Ones Challenge.

Maxo Kream Speaks On His Coming Up & Becoming A Rapper (Video)
Hey, Maxo’s full name is a mouthful. And he’s laughing with Vlad when joking about how hard it is to pronounce… but then he pronounces it perfectly and starts speaking on how he got the name and how that led to the Maxo handle. Message: Your name MATTERS. Don’t let anyone tell you different.
Okay, I’mma step off the soapbox and let y’all get on with the watching of Part 1 of 6 above (other parts after the jump). This is so you get familiar with Maxo before I share this new schooler’s music with you. I’m really trying to find the new ones that are doing it real, their way.
I’m old school. But I know that refusing to understand means refusing to grow. And everything that lives is either growing or dying… And I’m not dead yet!
One of H-Town’s realest. Not no ‘Soundcloud rapper’… Watch him tell his story to Vlad.

Yo Gotti | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #143 (Video)
It’s an event. A special occasion. All of the above AND below! Because Yo Gotti is a ‘style’ that does NOT come free. He kept saying it: Yo Gotti is only here because Flex asked; hasn’t spit a freestyle in a decade!

Dr. Oz Advocates For Medical Reform & Medical Marijuana (Video)
Not so low key, I have a cousin that knows Dr. Oz. Personally. Been on his show a few times. So, if you find yourself at Grady Memorial in the A-T-L and Dr. Kimberly Manning (megaton name bomb drop…BOOOOOOM!) is at work, you can tell her that you read her cousin’s blog posts DAILY (you do, of course)!
Dr. Oz stopped by Sway In The Morning to talk about 11 years of his show.

Three Pro Football Players On Holding The Number 1 Spot: The Struggle Of The Black Quarterback (Video)
Good coverage and perspectives offered by The Undefeated in this piece. Maybe y’all remember (maybe not) Doug Williams coming from getting beat up with the [orange, really orange] Tampa Bay Bucs for YEARS in the League… to taking the Washington Redskins to the Super Bowl AND winning (with a bum leg) in one year… AND retiring and taking over for one of college football’s greatest coaches EVER, Eddie Robinson, at Grambling University… now that’s a “QuarterBlack” (published in 1990, link to Amazon here) story. Barely talked about.
And the struggle continues. But first, a bit more history… Don’t let them forget, we’ve always had Black QB’s that were the ‘ish!
The first wave of successful Black quarterbacks gave this entire generation of stars the role models they needed – but few know the actual struggles that these legends had to overcome behind the scenes. In conversations with The Undefeated’s senior NFL writer Jason Reid, these legends discuss their journey and how they each played a unique part of the evolution: Warren Moon going from undrafted to the Hall of Fame, Randall Cunningham being able to embrace his athletic style and Donovan McNabb on the 1999 draft class that saw three players drafted in top 10.

22 Gz | Freestyles On Flex | Freestyle #142 (Video)
22 Gz. The General Blicky. This is what Brooklyn sounds like. Brooklyn’s real (that’s right). Real trill though? Real drill rap out of BK though? Hmmmkay…
Wait, WAIT! Don’t leave yet. LISTEN. Flatbush emceeing actually got represented in a new way this time out on Flex. Yet, the grimy feel is familiar enough for old heads (like me) to give new schoolers a chance. And to that I say, “Salute, General Blicky” (I mean Gang-Gang-GANG)!

An Athlete, Artist Activist And Action Movie Maker Have An MLK Day Conversation (Video)

They knew the big names BEFORE they got big; because they big-upped them when they were unsigned! YES!

Epic Conversations: Michael B. Jordan & Jamie Foxx (Video)
Michael B. Jordan is gonna tell us why Jamie Foxx didn’t get that part in End Game or something, right? Weeeell, maaaaybeee not. But expect an Epic Conversation nonetheless. Gets deep right away.
Actors Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx sat down with GQ and discussed their decade long relationship. These two long time friends cover the first time they met in L.A. during the early 2000s in the NBA E League, the pressures that black men are put through in Hollywood and the roles that solidified their stardom.

The most disrespectful rapper living. And it’s not even close!
That it and that ALL! Charlamagne said that. We can go home now… or we could watch the rest. And Murda interviews get greasy real easy (e.g. just ask, and he’ll talk about it… ANYTHING). So, um, I’mma stay and watch.

The Bella Twins Take Over Both Tubs… Leaving Kevin Out In The Cold (Video)
Kev! C’mon son. If Nikki wants to share some space in the tub with you… you jump right in there and enjoy a cool Bella ice bath with the babe! Unless, you are worried about ‘shrinkage’ (it being ‘Cold As Balls’ and all).
Two tubs are better than one. Kevin’s in for a surprise when The Bella Twins take over the cold tubs to talk about their historic wrestling careers, and the crazy path that started with Hooters – and ended with them fighting Ronda Rousey in a WWE main event.

Eye Candy: Curve Model Chelsea Rose Shares Her Story (Video)
Dizzam!
The way Chelsea Rose pranced in and stopped, but the boobs kept bouncing… All Good Things! Like when the whip stops but the rims keep spinning. A perfect ride, look and feel. And lean in for the measurements: 42-35-51! And she’s just a five-footer! Yeezus WEST! Mix-A-Lot would have to salute baby for that much back (remember, his 36-24-36 was 5’3″… way less ‘compact’) #THICKNESS
