Sports/Politics: Nick Wright’s Question For People Angered By The #TakeAKnee Movement: What Are You Actually Mad At? (Video)
September 28, 2017
I’m not gonna engage on the absurdity that we just ran a clip where a player quotes the President Of The United States, and we felt we needed to bleep it.
– Nick Wright
Yeah. And this isn’t the first time the words of the POTUS have been ‘bleeped’… But let’s not engage in the folly for now.
Instead, let’s follow Nick’s lead. Let’s follow the line of reasoning, avoiding all the crazy and staying on that line… bypassing the false equivocations… walking past the baseless arguments of the Trumpeters and stepping over their misunderstandings, barreling through that wall protecting those who want to make ‘Murica great again, make football in ‘Murica great again, until we arrive at the heart of what those against the PEACEFUL #TakeAKnee movement are really against…
Because once we get to the end of that line of unreasonable, where folks in their feelings have nowhere to go and have to answer honestly about why they detest #TakeAKnee …”What Are You Actually Mad At?”
And before someone says it… we’re NOT going to ‘just stick to sports’ this time. I just want them to say the words.

Murs And HipHopDX Present “Rap’s Generation Gap: Old Heads Vs. Young Bucks” (Video)
September 27, 2017
Yeah, RUN-DMC gave the rap game its own dress code (post ‘borrowed from Disco’ style)… Maybe their predecessors thought that was a step too far. And those shots taken at RUN-DMC by their peers and ‘descendants’… Maybe the young’ns are just taking shots and throwing rocks just as every youthful element of our ever-aging art of rap does to the elders in the game. Overall, solid commentary/history on the evolution of Hip-Hop. Respect to Murs (who is no slouch on the mic himself).
The generation gap in the Hip-Hop community is wider than ever. Classic Hip-Hop has its own radio stations in a few major markets because the old heads don’t want to hear all that new Mumble Rap. A lot of new rappers can’t even name one song by any of the classic Hip-Hop greats because, in their opinion, none of them measure up to Drake. The more either side opens their mouth, the wider the divide becomes. Do we continue to let nature take its course or do we attempt to bridge the gap? Is the gap even bridgeable? Rap’s Generation Gap: Old Heads vs. Young Bucks. Let’s break it down…
– Murs
(But sometimes we really want go ‘full Rapaport‘ though, Murs. Hahahaaaa!)

Sports/Politics: Bob Costas Declares That President Trump Has Galvanized The #TakeAKnee Movement (Video)
September 25, 2017
Do you want a President of the United States who, even if you’re giving him the benefit of that doubt, is so tone deaf to the racial implications of this?
– Bob Costas
Right on time! There was so much on Kaep and #TakeAKnee this past weekend and even before. Wasn’t sure how to cover it all here. But then veteran sportscaster/commentator Bob Costas comes through and wraps it with a bow!
NBC Sports broadcaster Bob Costas speaks to CNN’s John Berman and Alisyn Camerota after President Donald Trump criticized the NFL and players who took a knee during the national anthem.
– CNN
Great points. Trump galvanized the #TakeAKnee movement. Can’t even call this ‘shots fired’ really. Just facts!

What Have You Heard About iPhone 8? Well, Here’s The Real Scoop (Video)
September 22, 2017
Even if you have never camped out in line to be among the first to get the new ‘you fancy huh?’ phone, this clip should let you understand why iPhone fanatics did. And this iPhone 8 though. That look, that sleek ‘body’ and it being so ‘just for you’ it knows you by touch (as in Touch ID)… Wow!
The phone’s release day is tomorrow. For those who are still undecided, too bad we couldn’t hear Siri’s voice to seal the deal. Hahaha!
Keith Olbermann Declares, “The Media Doesn’t Understand What Trump Is Doing” (Video)
September 20, 2017
Donald Trump’s not pivoting. He’s not changing. He’s just crazy.
– GQ
Interesting points, as usual, by Keith Olbermann… The media is not getting the real story of the Trump Administration out to us, not because they are holding back, but because they do not ‘get’ it. Or at least, they do not ‘get’ how to get the story out to us.
And this is NOT all the fault of Trump’s crazy ways (though Olbermann declares, several times in this clip, that Trump is, in fact, ‘crazy’). It could very well be that, unlike Olbermann’s former field of sportscasting, the mainstream news media has neither the acumen or desire to cover something as unprecedented as what is going on with the level of ‘crazy’ coming out of The White House.

Politics/Comedy: Seth Meyers Says, “Hey, Hillary Clinton, Stop Blaming Bernie Sanders” (Video)
September 11, 2017
Okay, I will admit to not watching a whole lot of Late Night With Seth Meyers. No reason. No hate. Always thought dude was funny. Plus, there’s the YouTube… where apparently the system knows I would like some stuff he says and suggests his clips to me.
Know what? YouTube is RIGHT! This “Hey!” clip is EPIC!
I did not even know Senator Clinton was throwing the shade at Senator Sanders in her book like that. And don’t worry, I got a clip with Bernie Sanders giving a rebuttal, with a pivot, to focus us on the REAL issues. No matter what, we need to keep our eyes on the prize(s) in #FeelTheBern mode after the jump.
But wait! Watch the hilariousness (and insight) above from Meyers.
(Full disclosure: I have not read Hillary Clinton’s book. Probably good though.)

September 8, 2017
Joe, Rory, Mal and Parks talk about the ranks of the best rappers of all-time. And dude is gonna start with some potential sideways talk about Eminem… with Slaughterhouse Joe sitting right there?? Ohhh kaaay, let’s see how the rest of this convo goes.
A good amount of time spent on Cam’s (Cam’ron) placement in the rankings. Hmmm… Plus, interesting comments on the NY-South-everywhere else thing by Budden. Actually, a little bite to the words.
Remember: We’re out here in the ATL, Joe.

Lord Jamar Is NOT A Fan Of LaLa Anthony’s Nude Scenes On ‘Power’ (Video)
August 28, 2017
Lord Jamar speaks with realness, whether you are I agree or not. Random ass & tit flashing, online or in person, likely doesn’t affect him like he says… but see how the discomfort level goes way past 10 when talking about LaLa’s bare ta-ta’s getting all that attention on STARZ. His problem: He’s cool with NBA baller Carmelo Anthony, and La’s Golden Globes are supposed to be for Melo’s eyes only; not pay per view in any way.
And that “it’s just acting” explanation… Miss him with that.
(Oh, Jamar talks about other stuff while he’s there. You can watch the whole interview after the jump.)

Michael Moore Calls A Racist A Racist, All Of Them… And Those Who Will Not Denounce Them (Video)
August 25, 2017
Anybody who enables, anybody who votes for and supports a racist, is a racist.
– Michael Moore
The controversial filmmaker Moore has never had a problem calling it how he sees it. And in keeping with the lifted quote above, Moore is holding those who support the racist ralliers and those of their ilk – whether gathered at the Take ‘Murica Back rally in Charlottesville or not – just as guilty. Because #BlackLivesMatter or #AllLivesMatter or whatever matters to you aside, the venomous speech, vitriolic tone and victimization of those hurt by Neo-Nazi words and a wildly driven car… well, that all happened. And if you are not denouncing that, you are tacitly supporting it.

Comedy: The SquADD Debates To Determine Which Breakfast Cereal Is The Best (Video)
August 22, 2017
Hmm… Should have just said ‘cereal’ in the title, because I remember eating cereal for lunch, dinner, and snacks, too. Several All Def Digital panelists in the clip above seemed to agree. And I agree with dude… do NOT sleep on raisin bran for that bomb azz cereal meal choice. Two scoops of awesome!

N.O.R.E. ‘Rate The Bars’ For Cardi B, 2 Chainz And Ja Rule (Video)
August 7, 2017
Can’t quite say he pulls no punches because N.O.R.E. seemed to pull some punches on this. All good though, because dude is as highly entertaining as always in this clip of him scoring some of the rap music out.
N.O.R.E. the Queens rapper who’s famous for his albums and podcast DrinkChamps has great ratings and explanations for Cam’ron, Ja Rule, Famous Dex, Madeintyo, and 2Chainz.

Cardi B On Her Approach To Making Money & Music And Her Dating Preferences (Video)
August 7, 2017
Very interesting interview snip with Cardi B. Don’t even have to be a fan of her music, life choices, or her opinions or whatever to really hear that she has her own mind. Insight from a thick Miss is something I will always support. If you truly are more than just a body and a face, I will salute that EVERY TIME!
Of course, I am still ogling your body and face. Just facts. That all.

Food/Comedy: “The Best Pizza Chain†According To The SquADD (Video)
July 31, 2017
Just can’t do Papa Johns… unless it’s free… I’ll eat FREE pizza from almost anywhere. Of course, given my ‘druthers (e.g. things I’d rather have), I want the best pizza. And for the record, I have loved Dominos every since its ‘new & improved taste’ roll-out.
Everybody loves pizza. With all the pizza chains in American, which one is the best? Watch as the SquADD shares their favorite place to get a slice of pizza.

Plus the SquADD got JOKES! Bwaaaahahaa!

July 28, 2017
Hey. Truth be told. Church’s might have to add that ‘amazing savior of the hood’ title to the sign though. Hahaaaa! So much joking about chicken choices in this All Def Digital culinary review on fried chicken. They got jokes for one another, too. Hilarious!

Blue Lives Matter, No Matter What… Except For This Officer Who The Cause Abandoned (Video)
July 27, 2017
I will let the Francis tell you about the angles. The facts: (1) Officer Mohamed Noor used deadly violence, (2) it was unjustified, (3) Noor should be punished just like all the other wrongful shooters should have been, BUT (4) there has been no support in this particular situation from those aligned with #BlueLivesMatter
We are now left with the big ‘why’ questions. Chief among them, why is the only time we the ‘Blue Lives Matter’ mantra is invoked is in juxtaposition to ‘Black Lives Matter’ …The mantra has provided cover for other cops’ bad shoots, so why not Noor’s? Could there be another color to consider other than ‘blue’ or can unquestioned faith in officers’ in-the-moment decision-making all of a sudden be questioned when the cop’s chosen faith is not ‘ideal?’
Get ’em Francis!

July 20, 2017
Quoting and breaking ’em down – from Bun B’s (RIP) trillest lines on down! And yes, Andre 3000 is a rapper’s rap that makes fans move their feet (of course, 3 Stacks made his list). Y’all gone learn today… about Luda’s fav bars in this biz!
The new host of MTV’s Fear Factor, Ludacris takes us through his ultimate bars in Hip-Hop. Ludacris shares his favorite rap lyrics of all time, including Pimp C of UGK, Eminem, André 3000, Notorious B.I.G., and Cam’ron.
And of course, of course, Ludacris quotes himself on this list. He’s his biggest fan, and this is Hip-Hop. He’s an emcee. Braggadocio and being the best spitter is built into his DNA.
(Good list though. Damn good list and breakdown.)
