Shawn ‘Freshco’ Conrad Speaks On Life And Lessons Learned On Tour With Ice Cube And Too Short (Video)
August 18, 2017
Lots of Hip-Hop timeline to cover from the Freshco & Miz days to now. Cool thing is Shawn ‘Freshco’ Conrad has the memories and memorabilia to share a unique perspective on some dope moments with folks we knew… but not like how he knew them. Way more in this than Ice Cube’s “how to sign autographs” advice in this clip. Another awesome look back with Freshco!

Joe Budden & Cyn Santana Are Expecting (Video)
August 17, 2017
Wow. It’s like Joe and Cyn got on lock (see them declare it during an interview here) and started the clock… or should we say “timer” since Cyn Santana has that Budden bun in the oven. Check out the lovey dovey photo shoot and featurette above.
Here’s to happiness for the two; and happiness for us, too, if Joe (or some other worthy emcee) hops on that banging azz beat playing in the video.

Say No To The Dress, The Caterer, To The Whole Expensive Wedding… It’s All A Total Rip-Off (Video)
August 17, 2017
How could the College Humor crew dare to attack the sacred, traditional, necessary institution of marriage? Well, because it is really none of that. Just hella expensive for no damn reason (except, well, commerce)!
No hate, even though Adam does Ruin Everything… like the need for big weddings in this episode. Just like he did the ‘wedding ring’ racket (see here).
(Your fiancee might not need to see this though. Haaa!)

Debunking The Myth Of Women’s Fast-Ticking “Biological Clock” (Video)
August 15, 2017
Hahaaa! She said she’s gotta get baking before her oven breaks down. Easy lady. Take it easy. Experts agree that you can still have a baby after 35. Above, Adam tells you why.
(You should know the ‘how’ by now.)
The data that “modern” fertility advice is based on is actually straight-up medieval.

Amanda Seales After ‘Floetry’… Finding Her Lane And Riding It (Video)
August 14, 2017
Hmm… don’t know why I never made the ‘hey, that’s Amanda Diva‘ realization until she said so in this interview. The ‘Tube tagline says she “Dishes On Floetry, Getting Fired Because Jay-Z, Her Hollywood Come-up & More”… Yeah, yeah, that part… but I tuned in because she was so cute to me on those anti-smoking campaign commercials, and I just wanted to know if the effect of my brain would come anywhere near matching her look’s effect on my eyes.
Check! I am in. Amanda is so HOT, and cool, at the same damn time.

Jon ‘Bones’ Jones Speaks On Defeating Daniel Cormier Again, Being The Champ Again And His Future (Video)
August 11, 2017
Great two-parter from mixed martial artist and champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones. Passing out respect to the likes of Anderson Silva and heated (understatement: Jones said he wanted to KILL him at one point) rival Daniel Cormier. Real talk about the reality of competing in MMA. Plus the meme game on Cormier is brutally disrespectful!
Called out Brock Lesnar, did you, Jon? Okay, make that happen. Wonder how that will play after this upcoming Mayweather vs. McGregor event.
Keep going after the jump (Part 2).

Sean Price’s Wife Bernadette & Dru Ha Talk About Sean P. And “Imperius Rex” (Video)
August 11, 2017
Who doesn’t love how Boot Camp and Bernadette are keeping Sean P. alive through the music and shows nowadays? We see the on stage and hear the audio releases, but now we get a chance to hear from the Clik’s honcho Dru Ha and Mrs. Price. On point, off stage, and outside the booth.
Get the whole enchilada: How Sean and Bernadette met, how the contributions to “Imperius Rex” fell into place so wonderfully and more. Too much to even preview. Plus why ruin the watch. I will tell you that you want to know how Jay-Z, Eminem and others are tied into all this.
(Remembering the Prices’ daughter’s name… Shaun Price… Plus Bernadette said Sean ‘guided her’ from above on this project. Dammit. There go the tears again!)

Kountry Wayne Loves The Kids… All Eight Of His (Video)
August 10, 2017
Been following Kountry Wayne Colley on Facebook for quite some time. Hilarious skits, and there is a realness to how he delivered even the most ridiculous ones. Here in this interview, there is some funniness but the realness comes through. Good content. Real talk.
Millen (Georgia) comedian, Kountry Wayne, sits down with DJ Smallz and discusses having 8 kids and a stand-up comedy career, relationship with 5 baby mothers, and shares advice for others dealing with multiple children and baby mothers.

Lil Duval Says He Is 40, Is Not Politically Correct, And Is Ready To Toss Shots At Sidechicks (Video)
August 9, 2017
Still single… Nah, Lil Duval is just going in and out of blessings. Maybe he can get ‘blessed’ by some Charlotte Sidechicks in this. Hahaaa!
Oh, wait. This is the show that got Duval in all that hot water with his transgender commentary. Alright, shutting it down. Watch and make your own judgments.

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.
(Catch the full interview after the jump.)

Issa Rae Shares Some Of Her Real-Life ‘Awkward Black Girl’ Stories And Talks About Her Her HBO Show ‘Insecure’ (Video)
August 2, 2017
Nice interview short Issa Rae did with Stephen Colbert as she was making the rounds promoting the second season of her acclaimed HBO original series “Insecure.” Have you peeped that yet, by the way? I am withholding judgment overall; some things going on this season I can f**ks with, other stuff not so much… But I am not sure if one of those not-so-much things will trigger a permanent Sunday night channel change for me. We’ll see.
Just had to get that off. Not even the main thing in the clip above.
HBO’s ‘Insecure’ creator and star Issa Rae isn’t equipped with an all-knowing omnipotence to answer any question that begins with ‘Do black people…?’

Bwaaahahaaa! ‘Blaccent’ is gonna be my new word for a while. Girrrrrl!

Former Record Industry Exec Speaks On Suge Knight (Video)
August 2, 2017
Damn. By three minutes in former industry exec Virgil Roberts spilled that Suge Knight had the powers-that-be shook EVEN THOUGH Suge was NOT a true OG. Wow.
Well, he was around back when Suge was really reigning; and he is very forthcoming with his what-had-happeneds in the interview above. More commentary on that era after the jump.
(Whoa! He talked about the Vanilla Ice balcony strong-arm incident in this, too? Yes.)

Model Bernice Burgos Says Her Relationship With T.I. Was Mainly ‘Business, Never Personal’ (Video)
August 2, 2017
Bernice Burgos, the model (not ‘video vixen’ because she does NOT like that title) who has been placed at the epicenter of the TI–Tiny breakup quake, presented her case on the radio waves the other day. Kinda makes sense, since she is being tried in the court of public opinion for being a homewrecker for the most part. Speaking of ‘tried’… she spoke on (among lots of other things) her social media war with Tiny during the interview; claiming her online clap-backs were more self-defense than sucker punches.
I was shocked at myself, I’m very disappointed in what I did. Social media sometimes will put you in a place that you have to fight with people that you don’t know. I was listening to social media, so many lies, so many you this, you that, like wait a minute…

Richard Overton Speaks On Living 109 Years… Well (Mini-Documentary)
July 31, 2017
How do you live 109 years? I am not sure any of us actually know the answer; not even Richard Overton. But I do believe that however long you live, it is on you to ensure that you LIVE your years. That’s gotta be the lesson of Mr. Overton’s life for us.
Meet Richard Overton, America’s oldest veteran. In this lively short film by Matt Cooper and Rocky Conly, hear the whiskey-drinking, cigar-smoking supercentenarian reveal his secrets to a long life.
– National Geographic
Celebrate life today. Raise a glass to Mr. Overton. And puff on a good cigar (or two or three, like Mr. Overton) if you got one!

Havoc Speaks On Coming Up In Queensbridge, Mobb Deep, And Losing Prodigy (Video)
July 27, 2017
RIP Prodigy for real. And if anyone, ANYONE, should be heard on that, it’s Havoc. They have been through it in all ways – on the come up, after the Mobb fame wave ebbed, falling out with each other, squashing the beef finally, and then… damn.
After the untimely death of Prodigy, DJ Vlad sits down with his longtime friend and the other half of Mobb Deep, Havoc. Havoc details what it was like growing up in Queensbridge, their first rap names, and reveals Prodigy turned down a deal to work with him at first. The producer then goes on to talk about making their first album, Prodigy teaching him how to sample and them getting a deal at LOUD records.
Throughout the conversation Havoc discusses some of the milestones in their career from the ‘Hennesy’ shirts, creating “Shook Ones,” dissing 2Pac before his death, their beef with Jay-Z, and what it was like seeing Lil Kim write her “Quiet Storm” verse. Hav also speaks on the rumor of P choking on an egg and the cause of his death before looking back on the legacy that they left in Hip-Hop.
Listen to Havoc pay respect to his brother above.

Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks On “Girl’s Trip,” Relationships, Tupac, And Diversity In Hollywood (Video)
July 27, 2017
Jada Pinkett Smith’s book could be lit… VERY! Details on her movie “Girl’s Trip,” her relationship with Tupac Shakur, her drug dealing days… yep! She talks about it some in this interview, but is careful not to tell all.

Freshco Shares Memories of Working with The Notorious B.I.G. (Video)
July 25, 2017
For those who don’t know: Freshco (aka Shawn Conrad) is FIRE on a mic! I’ll post my all-time fav joint from him after the jump. But for now, take my word if you have no other reason to care. Then click play and consider that Biggie mostly worked with microphone masters back in the day. And he wanted to put something down with Freshco. That ought to tell you something!
But let me tell you something… Freshco has a previously unreleased track featuring himself and the Notorious B.I.G.! However, the lionshare of Freshco’s talk is about memories of B.I.G., not that track.
Come back with me to 1993 when Biggie and I met and did some music together. Before the Tupac beef. Before the King of New York.

Meek Mill Speaks About Being In The Middle Of Several Beefs, Making Amends And Moving On To Being Grown (Video)
July 21, 2017
Alright. I’ll fess up: I barely listen to Meek Mill’s music. Got sucked into the non-rap related beefs & bullsh!t he was in and wasn’t even really a fan of any of that. But this interview… He sounds like a man who has been through some things, learned something from it, and will likely go through a little less of them. He mentions being 30 years of age, but I can tell you: The passage of years has nothing to do with attaining the wisdom they should give you. How to focus ‘thug’ energy on standing firm in the face of adversity (esp. that which you brought on yourself). Having realized that sometimes it is best to stay low instead of high posting all the damn time. Wisdom!
Of course, Meek is still about with the sh!ts. He starts the interview with some of that. But there’s less of it around to smell up the joint. Good interview!
