Comedian Bill Burr Believes A Bit More ‘Kid Smacking’ Might Lead To A Lot Less ‘Smack Talk’ From Kids Today (Video)
August 30, 2018
Okay, so Bill is roundabouts my age. And it shows in his rants (we old, and old-school man). it might get a li’l uncomfortable for some millennial new school parenting advocates out there to watch his clip, but here it is.
Bill is nostalgic for a time when parents hit their children and you didn’t have to believe all women.

Wow! The fiends NEED the latest Yeezys and Jordans like this bad? The fake kick market is kicking this hard. Gotta be if there is a black market with movers in it like Chan, right? Let VICE News tell it…
After the sun sets in Putian, thousands of bikes carrying fake sneakers hit the streets.
The lace-up black market is no secret in Putian, and it’s where you can find Chan, a vendor with a knack for getting high-quality pairs off the streets and into the hands of hypebeasts on the other side of the globe.

Roc-A-Fella Records Co-Founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke Is Still Doing Big Business (Video)
August 27, 2018
Interesting! Now everyone knows Jigga, and many know Dame Dash. But what about the third side of the triangle. Those who know, know why this is extra good to see… “Biggs†still doing it big!
Without Kareem “Biggs†Burke, you may never have heard the name Jay-Z. That’s because Biggs was the quiet partner in the three-man team that founded Roc-A-Fella Records, which launched Jay-Z’s career. Today, Biggs is running his own show by building a portfolio of companies focused on lifestyle.
“A self-made millionaire, many times over…” That’s what’s up #Salute

Funny story. Press play and get in on it.

Comedy: Rap Stars Read ‘Mean Tweets’ From Fans (Video)
August 21, 2018
Hilarious! Yeah, all of the trolls who flex that ‘keyboard courage’ on social media, see Remy Ma with your Twitter fingers and you could catch them hands… My vote for best part is definitely Remy’s response. But the whole video is awesome. Kudos to all featured for being good sports.

Do White People See Black Skin As A ‘Weapon’ To Be Feared? Host Erica Cobb Says ‘Yes’ (Video)
August 14, 2018
So… ‘weaponized skin tone.’ That is where we are. And Erica is right. You KNOW she is right. It’s just too bad that many who watch this are just going to see a ‘triggered’ Black woman and not even try to understand why.
While talking about the CVS employee “Coupon Carl,” Host Erica Cobb says Black skin is viewed as a weapon by many. She and Beau Davidson debate the role skin color plays in tense situations.
– Daily Blast LIVE
If you only watch this once, I understand. It can get monotonous; us treading the same race-related grounds with those who just don’t get it. But I watched this several times before I got the gumption to go see why Erica would opt out of potentially ‘heightened’ situations because it would be ‘better if her husband handled them.’
Hit the jump, and give yourself a pat on the back if you already knew what I found out when I Googled.
Damned shame it has to come to this. Like a Dave Chappelle punchline… She must know that, when sh!t goes down, “somebody’s gonna have to talk to the cops.”

‘Donald Trump’ x ‘Robert Mueller’ – “It Wasn’t Me” (Video)
August 2, 2018
Wowww. Maybe setting all this political craziness to music can make it better. So James Corden did that here. Presenting a visual… Trump to Robert Mueller: “It Wasn’t Me” (with Shaggy no less, the dude that did the song originally).
“It Wasn’t Me†with Shaggy as Trump and James as Robert Mueller is exactly what the world needs right now.

Why “40 Acres And A Mule” Is No Longer Enough Reparations For Black Americans (Video)
July 30, 2018
Word on the street, dirt road… hell, everywhere… is that that 40 acres and a mule promised to Black folks in the United States… IS. NOT. COMING. And even if it was, it would NOT be enough to ‘catch us up’ and make things fair & square for how far slavery, Jim Crow, and follow-on disenfranchisement has set people of color (esp. Black people in America) back. The ‘why’ behind this is skillfully “Decoded” above in this throwback episode.
Out of 536 billionaires in the USA, only 3 are Black. Why the stark racial divide? Well, it’s complicated, but it turns out our history of racism has a lot to do with it. From segregated schools that receive less funding in property taxes, to the history of redlining Black homeowners, to the long history of slavery, oppression, and segregation, White families were accumulating wealth. That “old money” has provided the capital for the modern-day billionaires, and even average-income white families, to stay significantly ahead of Black Americans. So how can we fix the wealth divide in America?

Ha! Yeah, they play with all kinds of mostly-true trends in horror movie-making… not just “the Black guy gets off’d immediately”… but the “White woman always stumbles when chased by the killer” gag.

The Story Of How Models Helped Hip-Hop Stars Make Videos That Made Money… Until The Game Changed (Trailer)
July 11, 2018
VIXEN. Simple, powerful title. Makes sense with coverage of Karrine Steffans (and her book) in this.
Saw this described elsewhere as exploring the ‘Video Vixen Era.’ Never thought of it as an era, but the MODELS (not the rappers or singers) in music videos that caught major buzz before Instagram… yeah, that’s a thing. Should make for some worthwhile watching. That, plus sexy women…
Melyssa Ford, Buffie The Body, Karrine Steffans and more video vixens write themselves back into Hip-Hop history in this BET Original Documentary.
