Nipsey Hussle Stays True To Himself, Even If It Means Being ‘Uncomfortable’ (Video)
March 2, 2018
You get the furthest being authentic…
And that’s that if you ask Nip Hussle. While he kinda went with the temp of the room (e.g. the rest of the guys declaring that your ‘approach’ should fit the circumstances), Nipsey did hold to the ‘no code-switching’ mode. Gotta believe that being Hussle made him a boss. Why would he change his persona for anyone, in any situation? Respect.
The rapper chats with the men of “BET’s Mancave” about being uncomfortable.

Tracy Morgan Stars In “The Last OG” (Series Trailer)
February 26, 2018
This new TBS series seems to be a really good look for Tracy Morgan’s return to television, esp. with Tiffany Haddish (making it even a ‘gooder’ look, sexy) who still has a hot iron to strike with.
Tray (Tracy Morgan) is an ex-con who is shocked to see just how much the world has changed when he is released from prison for good behavior after a 15-year stint. Returning to his newly gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood, he discovers that his former girlfriend, Shay (Tiffany Haddish), has married an affable, successful white man (Ryan Gaul) who is helping raise the twins (Taylor Mosby and Dante Hoagland) Tray never knew existed. Wanting nothing more than to connect with his kids, but having neither the money to support them nor himself, Tray falls back on the skills he learned in prison to make ends meet while treading unfamiliar territory.

DJ Envy Gives ‘The Real’ On His Extra-Marital Affair (Video)
February 26, 2018
Can a marriage recover from cheating? Cheating involving a public figure that becomes a public thing??? Well, DJ Envy and his wifey will tell you, “Yes.” Buuuut, if Tyrese Gibson (yeah, the singer/actor) is going to come to a private dining room and put a mini-concert for the couple… AND call and counsel and support you on the daily going forward… Well, that has to help your chances, too.
Watch.

SYFY Set To Tell The Story Of ‘The House Of El’ On “Krypton” (Trailer)
February 22, 2018
Okay, I’ll be there for this. Not an avid fan of SYFY series, but the channel has put out a couple of gems. Hope this one is good.
The legacy of the House of El is no longer safe. Brainiac is coming. Rao help us all.
Krypton premieres 3.21 on SYFY.
In particular, I want to see how the ‘House Of El’ will play out. Jor-El – father of Kal-El (aka Superman) – and most of the El ancestry is not known to us; which is good because that means there is a greatly-reduced chance of making fanboys and purists upset.
And there has been talk of the Kryptonian deity Rao on The CW series “Supergirl.” I’m interested in that story angle, too. Seeing as how Superman is pretty much a ‘god’ on Earth… what does a god’s god and religion ‘look like’ in this canon?
Of course, there is Brainiac. If they f**k that story arc up there will be consequences and repercussions!

Wrestlemania? Nah, The Big Event Is The “Andre The Giant” Documentary Coming To HBO (Trailer)
February 2, 2018
Man. This film looks like it gets real, real fast. Sports entertainment storylines usually tend toward larger-than-life facade… “Andre The Giant” has the larger than life part down pat. But this doc looks to take viewers beyond the facade. Got mixed feelings about that. But feeling compelled to watch nonetheless.
Andre the Giant was literally the biggest celebrity in the world. HBO Sports, WWE, and the Bill Simmons Media Group present Andre The Giant, a documentary examining the life and career of one of the most beloved figures in wrestling history. Andre The Giant premieres April 10 on HBO.

You probably heard about Kendrick’s phenomenal Grammy Awards performance. But there’s nothing like hearing and seeing it (and seeing it again, if you have already)!

A Documentary About The Beats & Lyrics, About Hip-Hop Music… “Word Is Bond” (Trailer)
January 25, 2018
Showtime doing The Nation a solid. Put a fist up for Hip-Hop!
“Word Is Bond” is a documentary ï¬lm by Sacha Jenkins that examines the transformative power of lyrics in the world of Hip-Hop music. What was born on the streets of the South Bronx has now taken root globally, and the young poets of New York have helped to spawn regional dialects everywhere. Through dynamic archival footage, in-depth interviews and verite excursions with artists like Nas, Tech9, J Cole, Rapsody, and Anderson .Paak (and many more), “Word Is Bond” explores the many dimensions that Hip-Hop poetics occupy.
– Showtime
Looking like a dope doc on the voice of our Culture premieres Friday, February 16th at 10 pm ET. Gotta watch it!
