Touré And Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter Talk About Inspiration, Imagination, And Responsibility (Video)
February 3, 2018
Lookit. If you don’t think Black Thought is not an all-time great emcee (as in a G.O.A.T., if not the G.O.A.T.), then we don’t have much to talk about. You may not get anything from this post.
But you still ought to watch his sit down with Touré. And learn… some RESPECT! Hmphf… acting like Tariq didn’t set Funk Flex’s mic on fire just over a month ago (watch again here).

25 Years Later, Ayanna Jackson Speaks On 2Pac And The Sexual Assault Case (Video)
February 1, 2018
Okay. That’s a nice-looking Honey though. Let’s just get that said already. But we know that Ayanna Jackson, the one who accused 2Pac and his associates of rape in 1993, has a story to tell that touches off emotionally-charged firestorms on all sides of Pac fandom & hate, assault & empowerment… all kinds of stuff.
In this VladTV exclusive clip, Vlad sat down with Ayanna Jackson, a woman who accused 2Pac and his associates of rape in 1993. As a result, 2Pac was convicted of first-degree sexual assault and sentenced to one-and-a-half to four-and-a-half years in prison.
Jackson noted that the interview with Vlad is the first time she went on-camera to discuss the events that took place, ultimately leading up to the incarceration of the rapper. Jackson laid out how old she was when she met the rapper–around 19-years-old, along with the location they connected.
This is Part 1 of Ayanna telling her story to Vlad. Much more after the jump.

"Everyone feels anger, but after the anger it's really hurtful. … he's looking down on a whole population of people, and he's so misinformed," JAY-Z slams Trump's "shithole" comment.

When you right, we right there with ya as long as you there on point. To that point, Jigga hit this on the nail here. Something must have happened in Donald Trump’s life for him to be this way. Been this way before he got in.

Killer Mike On Why People, White And Black, Are Mad (Video)
January 23, 2018
Damn. Michael Render with the real talk. Gotta use Killer Mike’s government name because it’s so real! Ever wonder why poor and working class White people vote against their interests… aligning with Republicans who want to defund programs that benefit them and give tax cuts for citizens who make way more than they do? Because the flag-waving and make-American-great-again chanting has them thinking the ‘trickle down’ from those ‘job creators’ will become a wave of prosperity they can ride to the top [and someday join the 1%]?
Nah… Mike says it’s because they’re mad, son!
I think poor White people are mad because the system that promises you something based on that isn’t ever going to give you that … Poor white people during the civil rights movement in Mississippi they were treated as badly as any Black worker. But because there was an imaginary line of race got put there and they can still say they are superior to this person, they never joined with the Black worker to fight better conditions for them all.
– Killer Mike
But hold up, Black people. Mike has some biting words for his people, too.
A must watch!
(Yeah. We ALL have a right to be angry. But what are we gonna do about it?)

London Based Fitness Expert “Kemo Marriott” Speaks on “Living Life in Motion” by Odell Simmons
January 20, 2018
Each year millions of people say they are going to get fit, eat better, and a host of other things. To make matters more complicated every year new fads and diets hit the market claiming to make miracles happen. I wanted to help cut through the nonsense and speak with someone who could give sound advice. This brings me to Kemo Marriott a fitness expert, trainer, and music lover who travels the world sharing his knowledge. Based in London, England yet Kemo can be found across Europe and when we spoke he was residing in Bangkok, Thailand. So check out interview below where Kemo gives some tips on nutrition, fitness, and his nomadic lifestyle.
Odell: I came across your profile while reading a UK version of Men’s health magazine then started following you on Instagram. Your page is one of the highlights of my day. Full of fun videos of you working out shopping at the market or just doing a dance while enjoying music. What’s your main goals on how you use social media?
Kemo: Haha thanks so much for the kind words! For now, Social Media- Instagram in particular is an outlet of creativity. It’s a no holds barred insight into my life. I know that for the most part, I’m portraying an active, healthy lifestyle but want to do so in a loosely entertaining way. It’s a continually evolving process, but I’m hoping that my following continues to grow so that I can work with interesting brands, whilst continuing to travel the world.

People Do Know That Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Is NOT On Twitter… Don’t They? (Video)
January 18, 2018
Since this is Donald Trump’s first MLK Day in office we decided to commemorate it by going out on the street and asking people whose side they were on in the Donald Trump/Dr. King Twitter war. Of course, Martin Luther King has been gone for 50 years but that didn’t stop people from weighing in on this impossible feud in an MLK Day edition of #LieWitnessNews.
– Jimmy Kimmel Live
Sometimes you just gotta laugh at sh!t. Like this Kimmel clip. Hope they don’t end up starting a ‘real’ Trump Tweet beef with Dr. MLK Jr. (RIP) Prediction on that: Would be reeeeeally one-sided.
(But you knew that. Some of these interviewees, well, may not.)

Still won’t put down conspiracy theorists, but Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a really reasonable response to rumors of lunar landing fakery, to beliefs of America’s leadership in the field of space exploration, to general inquiry about the motivations for going into space in the first place (the moon, Mars and beyond).

Rapsody Speaks On Her Grammy Nomination And Being Female In The Rap Genre (Video)
January 18, 2018
Absolutely! Of course, Rapsody should be on with Larry King. She can speak for Hip-Hop, esp. from her perspective as a female in the culture. She is one of our BEST! Very dope interview clip. Watch!
As the only woman nominated for Best Rap Album at this year’s Grammys, Rapsody says the honor is bittersweet, noting that – unlike in the 90s, which produced a plethora of chart-topping Hip-Hop from women – female rappers today struggle to break into the mainstream.
– Larry King
