Gary Vaynerchuk Speaks On Happiness (Video)
Of course Gary Vee is gonna talk about way more than ‘happiness’ in this vlog ep, but you can tell that dude is happy on the grind. Flossing a bit about having the office in London, as he should. Happy about that and other things…
Becoming happy is, in my opinion, a factor of whether or not you are valuing someone else’s opinion more than your own…
Super happy that I got to spend some time at the new VaynerMedia office in London over the past few days. Even though I didn’t get the chance to share a ton of the content with you guys, I think you’ll enjoy this episode 😉

Lord Jamar And Rah Digga Speak On Female Rappers, The Florida School Shooting, “Black Panther” And Nutrition (Video)
Lord Jamar and Rah Digga doing real talk for The Culture. Very relevant, ‘woke’ enough in the right way. Yeah, this “Yanadameen” Godcast (nice wordplay) should be worth an add to your listen rotation (if you have not already).
Lebron James & Kevin Durant Speak On How They Still Feel The Hate As Black Men In America (Video)
Great episode. Great series. Great channel #RollingWithTheChampion #Uninterrupted
To keep it a buck, the hatred sees faaaarr beyond the bucks. Remember when Chris Rock joked that White audience members would never trade places with him… and he’s RICH!? Not really a joke.
Just hear what these rich, popular, powerful, [still] Black men have to say. And it’s not just the “other man” putting the pressure on them. Just saying. Just watch.
LeBron James and Kevin Durant KEPT IT 100% REAL on the hate they get, plus really making it as a Black man in America — especially during these times.

Why Have We Not Gone Back To The Moon? Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson Answers (Video)
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).

Drink Champs: Steve Stoute Speaks (Video)
So we got [Red Hot Lover]Tone… of Tone and Poke, of Trackmasters – production POWER, ’nuff said. And we got Steve Stoute Mr. Multi-Million Dollar-Dealing (like for Jay-Z, Kanye West, LeBron James, Tom Brady, and Mary J. Blige. Oh yeah, and Nas’ former manager.
So, yeah, the two came to drink good, smoke good… and talk about making hits back in the day and making a triumphant return to the music biz.
(And that ain’t all. Hit the jump for more!)
Science: Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Take on Aliens And Why We Should Become A Multiplanetary Species (Video)
Worried about the possibility of aliens enslaving us based on the way WE (humans) have acted throughout history? You would not be alone. Great minds hold that opinion, too. Minds like Dr. Stephen Hawking (like many others) assume that any advanced culture would conquer one it finds inferior. Dr. Tyson respectfully (and optimistically) disagrees.
Neil deGrasse Tyson responds to Stephen Hawkings view on aliens. He also discusses artificial intelligence.
– JRE Clips
Great heady theoretical talk that we can all follow. Cool.

– Irv Gotti
Will you admit to wanting to watch this just to see who gets the Murderrrr shade from Tha I-N-C Boss? It’s okay, it’s more than that, but hands up. Drink Champs welcomes Irv mf’n Gotti!
The Murder Inc. co-founder talks ruining his friendship with J.Lo, making music with Bobby Brown, and Suge Knight beefs. He also calls Drake a genius and compares him to Eminem.

Trina Talks About ‘Catty’ Women, A New Album With Trick Daddy, And Starring On ‘Love & Hip Hop: Miami’ (Video)
Hmm… Gotta love Trina for her lasting, lovely looks. Still beautiful after all these years. Bringing sexiness to Hip-Hop circles for certain.
But you know, many would say the same about Amber Rose. So, okay, The Drink Champs can now boast that BOTH have been on the show. And both (you’ll see) made great guests. Very engaging convo as the libations flow.

The Joe Budden Podcast Squad Struggles To Pick For Its ‘Best Rappers Of All-Time’ List (Video)
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.

Check Out The Story Of ‘Ear Hustle’ – The First Podcast Produced In Prison (Video)
Don’t take ANY of your freedoms in this day and age for granted. If you are not locked up, especially, you may not even be aware of how easy access to Internet ‘stardom’ is for you. You want to do a podcast, you go to a blog/vlog/etc, site and follow the directions. But if you are in prison, you gotta…
(Nuh unh. What you gotta do now is watch and learn. Do some ‘Ear Hustling’ – above to learn about the show, then tuning in via the link below).

Reggie Noble with seemingly limitless spit for that “Who Shot Ya” beat! Oh yes, let’s take it back to ’95!
Redman goin in with a legendary freestyle over Notorious B.I.G’s Who Shot Ya back in 1995 in New York on the Rap Xchange with Westwood & Funkmaster Flex.

Amber Rose Speaks On Her Life Journey From Poor Girl From Philly To Being Famous (Video)
People would be on the Internet were like, “You’re famous for no reason!” And I’m like yeah, I don’t f*cking know why. Blame yourselves.
– Amber Rose
You know her for the music videos and racy photos, being with Wiz Khalifa and Kanye West, the Slutwalk, and all that. And hate it or love it, Amber’s look… all that (platinum blonde ‘buzzcut’ down to that triple platinum Triple X butt)! And Amber talks about all that with the Drink Champs (N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN).
I know everybody may not be a fan of Rose. Some may even question why the Hip-Hop nation puts so much ‘shine’ on what she has to say (on some ‘your job is to just look sexy’ ish). Buuuut she is a prominent figure (pause, reflect, give thanks) on the Hip-Hop landscape. And buuuut that BUTTTT (even though it is not ‘featured’ above)!
Hahaaaa! Nah, but I do like to hear from the Honeyz and learn a bit about them, too. I do. Gives some insight on them. Watch this talk with Amber Rose. It won’t change your life. Not promising that. But it might just make you more thoughtful of Amber as a person if you thought ‘less’ of her some way.
(I like her voice, too. It’s cute.)

– Who’s Crazy
Still can’t believe Prodigy is gone. Watch the full video above.
Bill Burr’s Tribute To Charlie Murphy (Audio)
Bill Burr is one of the realest comedians out here. And real funny! Let’s get a blessing of both sides of Burr as he shares a Charlie Murphy story in memory of the recently departed Chappelle Show comrade.
Bill Burr talks about the passing of his friend Charlie Murphy.
DL Hughley Speaks On ESPN’s Sage Steele Firing, White Privilege, & Fox News Anchor Bill O’Reilly (Video)
Deeeeem! It’s cold out here for Sage Steele now that the ESPN door got slammed, esp. in the Hughley-verse.
More than that, in this short clip, DL went IN on the FoxNews x Bill O’Reilly situation in the right way… Hell, I remember having genuine HEAT for FoxNews’ ‘Papa Bear’ when he attacked Ludacris on his show (attempted character assassination); when Pepsi dumped Luda as a spokesperson (by the way, eff Pepsi for that.. I’m a Pepper)!

CBS Sports Football Analyst & Former Executive Amy Trask Speaks On Former Raiders Owner Al Davis, Front Office Philosophies And More (Video)
Fix your offensive line first… Now that’s an exec (not an armchair QB, or some think-they-know-it-all) talking! Heed the words of Amy Trask. Because RAIDER NATION, and because she really makes sense. Of course, decades experience with the organization and Rich Eisen even having her on the show to talk about football, late owner Al Davis, various organizational strategies and more. Host Eisen plugs the book (“You Negotiate Like A Girl”), too, of course.
Fantastic discussion. Smart. You’ll feel informed and kind of part of the conversation. Watch.
(Watch her answer to Rich on the probability of a ‘Las Vegas’ Raiders though…)
Civil Rights Activist And Icon Dr. Bernard LaFayette On ‘Love Ultra Radio’ (Live Interview Tonight)
I felt such a rush, and a potent mix, of emotions once Love Ultra Radio green-lit this interview event. This will be something of a fireside chat with Dr. Bernard LaFayette – a living legend, civil rights warrior, and Kingian scholar (who even today teaches the history and methods of activism and nonviolent protest made known in the States by those aligned with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.). And shout out and respect to the bredren Jah Prince and super-producer Iman Lexington for throwing open the doors and welcoming Dr. Lafayette warmly.
Oh… and that hey-I-know-that-name feeling you are getting… that is because I recently mentioned his name in the opinion piece I posted a few weeks back about the Talledega College marching band playing President Trump’s inauguration (link that here).
Want to know what is so awesome, inspiring, and awe-inspiring? I did not really get to know Dr. LaFayette as the man who boldly walked with MLK Jr. and Jesus Christ since his youth. Nah, I got to know him as my high school principal back in Tuskegee, Alabama. I got to know him as the guy that cheered us on our sideline win, lose or lose badly. And as husband to my late Grandma’s longtime friend and across-the-street neighbor, Mrs. Kate (Bulls) LaFayette, who with my Aunt Tammie (Cottrell), helped me get this all set up for tonight.
Yep, and I got to know Dr. LaFayette as the Reverend who eulogized my beloved Grandma (another Tuskegee Legend) and presided over her home-going a couple of years back. Yeah. Doc took time from the never-ending work of uplifting and educating the people of the world, of ensuring that more and more of us learn to love and respect each other, to even fight for each other… without raising fists or firearms to do so… That man, came to sit with the family; share some memories and food; and wipe away a few tears.
Long enough story made only a bit longer: I am honored to know the man honored with the 2016 Mahatma Gandhi International Award for Reconciliation and Peace; and to know that he is NEVER to busy to talk to us… like he will tonight. I hope you will tune in to Love Ultra Radio tonight at 10pm EST to get to know him better, too. See the flyer above for details on the interview. And check out the linked article below for more info on the Doc.

Politics: Greg Palast Speaks On How Voter Suppression Sealed Donald Trump’s Victory (Video)
Wowww… Cross Checking. Damn, they stay scheming, right? Actually, voter suppression is only part of the problem with getting truly fair and open elections. A good chunk of the problem is STORY suppression! Why is this only being talked about on outlets like DemocracyNow and podcasters like Margaret Prescod? Wonder if even they would know to cover such without investigative reporter Greg Palast exposing these political underbelly scum tactics.
If you’re Black, you’re 900% more likely to have your vote disqualified than if you’re White.

A must watch. The 15 minutes goes by fast. Feel free to watch twice to really get it.
