LL Cool J was soooo serious in that movie though… “Box!” Sway appropriately gives up all kinds of props to the born James Todd Smith, the G.O.A.T. Uncle L.

‘Patriot Act’ Host Hasan Minhaj Speaks On Student Debt & Mental Health Issues (Video)
It’s a movement that we hope moves into the background and just becomes the norm. Hasan is talking what BoneBreaker Jones and I talk about from time to time… mental health. If you need help, get HELP (be strong enough to go get it; not weak) #TalkToSomebody

Yoooo! Get a snack and a drink. Then click play and watch this in its entirety. Do NOT miss this opportunity to drink from the well of WISDOM we know as Byron Allen. You only think you have been out here grinding and hustling. You only think you have been through hard times and came out shining.

Grafh – “5 Fingers Of Death†(Freestyle) [Video]
Damn. Sway & them were riding Grafh hard for being late, weren’t they? Granted, it is unprofessional to be late. Good for him for owning his slipping… but when he settled in for the trip into the Valley Of The HYEEENNNAAAAS… the part that usually ‘unsettles’ emcees… Grafh went slap the f**k off!
And now Sway is happy with Grafh again. Because BARZ!

TK Kirkland Speaks On Finding New Audiences & New Way To Live (Video)
That’s truth. Facts. I remember TK Kirkland from the early BET / Def Comedy Jam days, and now it’s like he has a second career.
But then again, funny is timeless. Dave Chappelle is still killing crowds with comedy out here, too.

D Smoke, Londynn B, Troyman & Flawless Chat & Freestyle On ‘Sway In The Morning’ (Video)
Hmm… I wonder if Flawless was this picky for his BET Cypher freestyle (see here). No matter, because under pressure, the bars were up to par. Flawless is fierce with the flows.
And he will keep sharpening that sword. As will the rest of the Rhythm + Flow artists up there with Sway that day.
The internet has been buzzing about Netflix’s new show, Rhythm + Flow, and today we welcome the final contestants, Londynn B, Flawless, Troyman and of course the winner of the $250k, D Smoke.
Not only did these 4 fire spitters talk about their journey on the show, the exposure they received and the advice they were gifted from each celebrity judge — but they also gave advice themselves.
Inglewood reppin’ D Smoke also opened up about his investment plans with his quarter of a million.
You know we couldn’t let them leave without dropping off a few bars though.

And HOLD UP! Young Devyn got something to say… for the freestyle SHUTDOWN!!!

Performance: Busta Rhymes Doing A Live On-Air Medley Of His Hit Songs For Power 106 FM (Video)
E-Man was right in there with Bussa Buss, wasn’t he? So DOPE! This is why I love radio and small room performances (like NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series and the ALL CAPS, no cap RESPECT! event). See how all the big show energy is concentrated in the clip? Hip-Hop Fission… and the folks’ reaction as the experience this… NUCLEAR!
It makes it all the more awesome that Busta and Big Boy were obviously having big fun all the while!
(Shout to my baby brother Lyle for tagging me in on Facebook for this HEAT!)

Sophia Chang Speaks On Being ‘The Baddest B!tch In The Room’ & Being In The Rap Industry For Decades (Video)
Soph’s management roster was IMPRESSIVE. Just saying. Was kinda feeling ‘Raised By Wu Tang’ as a better book title, too. Again, just saying…

Michael Rapaport Speaks About His Rants, Sh!t Talk, And Meek Mill’s Rap Skills (Video)
Michael Rapaport goes OFF… a lot! But good to know he is not burdened with that much hate. He’s just kidding around… except when he is getting after President Trump.
Actor & Comedian Michael Rapaport sits with Ebro In The Morning, and has a heated conversation about the New York Knicks, and the Brooklyn Nets.
He also has a passionate conversation about the state of Hip-Hop, and addresses some of the artists he enjoys in the current genre, and those he has a little bit of a problem with.
