Throwback
Throwback: A 1995 Tupac Phone Conversation With Sanyika Shakur (Video)
Whoa! Lots of good content and insight from the late rap artist, actor, and Thug Lifer on this audio. Listen for the name drop of director Antoine Fuqua before he was a name… and a reference to Tupac’s working on “All Eyes On Me.” Unheard 1995 phone conversation with Tupac (RIP). Play the ‘tape’ above.
Rare Footage: Big Pun And Big L Freestyling Back In ’98 (Video)
Woooo! We miss this. Pun did it when he was here. Big L… the L is for Legendary. No doubt! More evidence of such has surface on the Interwebs. See above… plus we got more after the jump. Big Pun rest in peace. Big L rest in peace. Real Hip-Hop… LIVES FOREVER!
Cancelled: ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ Will Not Return For A 2nd Season
FoxNews reports ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ has been cancelled after only one season.
DAMMIT! I thought we had at least one more season with Arsenio, right Jay Leno (that’s what you said)?
Sometimes TV gets it wrong…dead wrong. They (CBS is ‘they’ this time) cancelled ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ already. Fu#kin’ @ssh0les make me so mad! I wanted to take this as a ‘hater rumor’ but the reports are coming in from beyond the blogosphere… and Carmen Breezy announced it on the Beatz & Lyrics show’s Hip-Hop Week In Review. *Sigh* and I found this announcement from the CBS-holes themselves:
I don’t want you to go Arsenio. But if you gotta go, please do a dope farewell show. I still YouTube your 90’s Hip-Hop megashow every now and then.
@BeatzLyricsATL @Carmen_Breezy @artbyodell @The7ODTwiceBorn Gonna miss you on late night @ArsenioHall #PleaseDoAnotherFarewellShow #AtLeast
