Watch This Clip On A “Labor Camp” In Belle Glade, Florida, In 1960 (Mini-Documentary)
March 18, 2019
My Dad saw a similar story on TV in the mid-1980s and it prompted him to go looking for his older brother. They’d only been in sparse contact with each other, but Dad knew Uncle DeWitt was in Florida working on a farm similar to their sharecropping days. It turns out that Uncle DeWitt was caught up at a place like this.
Check out this footage of these kids and their mother at a “labor camp” in Belle Glade, FL in 1960. Gotta see it to believe it.
– UNSTRIPPED VOICE
We got him out of there. But places like that even existing in the 20th century. Makes me feel a way. Watch and you’ll likely feel it, too.

Tisha Campbell Shares Memories, Stories About Her Kids, And Her Interview Time With A Surprise Guest (Video)
March 31, 2020
Wow. A Kid N Play ‘footwork’ greeting instead of a handshake greeting. Sounds like a cool idea if you have any level of coordination. But if you’re like me… maybe we can ‘modify’ that move. Ha!
But Tisha has no idea how this ‘cool idea’ will resurface (in a manner of speaking) in this interview clip.
It’s a “House Party” reunion! Tisha Campbell joined Access Daily hosts Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover to chat about her new show “Outmatched,” which airs Thursday nights on FOX. Tisha opened up about why her two kids were the reason she joined the series. Tisha also gave an amazing update on her eldest son, revealing that he got into the college of his dreams. Plus, watch Tisha’s priceless reaction to former “House Party” co-star Christopher ‘Kid’ Reid crashing her interview!
– Access
Social distancing be damned when Kid comes on the set! And Kid cannot be mad at that. Tisha is still looking great!

Campaign 2020: Watch A Quick Recap Of The Biden Vs. Sanders Debate (Video)
March 17, 2020
Okay, so now that we have boiled down the HUGE field of Democratic Presidential candidates to two, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, the choice is an actual ‘choice’… Now, watch the “boiled down” version of Biden and Sanders’s first one-on-one debate. And get ready to vote if you have not already made your voice heard in this race.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) debated each other for the first time on March 15. Here’s what you missed.

Of course, there was more to it than this. This is a gist. If you want to dig for real, I am sure you can watch the whole thing on-demand a la your local cable provider.

Rochelle Bloom – “Stay” feat. Rez Leon
February 21, 2020
Okay. Let me get my notes together. So it’s Rochelle (check). Still Hot (AF, check). Still got BARZ (again, AF, check). But is not really going by Hot 16 nowadays (but she will still ‘answer’ to it, okay, check). The Bloom is all about growth and progression (got it, check) with clear vision (2020 vision, check) for The Grammys (eight, CHECK)!
Yup. That’s still Rochelle in there… Still chasing the dream but never a check (check, and get a ‘day job’ if all you want is a ‘check’). If you are still rocking with the true emcee and her vision, “Stay” #Salute
(Bonus: Hit the jump for a special IG message.)

Apollo Brown – “The Backbone” feat. Guilty Simpson x Fat Ray x Melanie Rutherford (Video)
October 7, 2019
A cold sample to start. Apollo Brown added some ‘hum’ to the beat to warm it up. Then Guilty Simpson, Fat Ray, and Melanie Rutherford set the burners to high and cooked that stew! Good stick-to-your-ribs Hip-Hop is served. Enjoy!
From the forthcoming album…

Politics: Jeff Johnson Leads A Power-Packed Panel Of Pundits In Discussing Today’s Black Agenda And Campaign 2020 (Video)
September 16, 2019
This feels like what a TV station calling itself REVOLT should be doing with its platform, at least in significant part. Very varied viewpoints from and in the Black community are presented and explored here, which is a good thing. Folks (e.g. we and the people who want our votes) need to understand that we are not a monolith, a block, a sector, a checklist item, etc. for the campaign… nor do we necessarily ‘win’ when ‘our candidate’ (whatever that means) wins.
Go get a snack and a beverage, and come back focused. ‘Bout to be some real talk. Necessary talk!
T.I., Killer Mike, Candace Owens, Steven Pargett Of Trap The Vote, Katrina Pierson, & Tamika D Mallory have an open and honest conversation about politics, and the culture we live in today.
– REVOLT TV
Be forewarned: You will get agitated and frustrated. Hang in there. Especially because there is thoughtful, useful insight shared EVERY TIME we get a chance to hear from Killer Mike. Much respect and respek on the name Michael Render!

Lyric Jones – “Fettuccine” (Prod. By Giallo Point) [Video]
July 16, 2019
…save for f*ck sh!t for the latrines!
So HOT and spitting fire like that. It just beez like that when you got a emcee like this. I mean… she is Lyric Jones, and she do got BARZ! So, chocolaty, smooth-moving and leggy, a quick look and you might mistake her for a fashion plate. Actually, she is. But the mistake would be thinking that that is all that she is. Look at the plate again – full of “Fettuccine” al dente #Perfecto
Fettuccine Alfredo dishes are known for being heavy and leaving you full. It’s a very dense dish. That’s how I’m coming at cats with these bars on this…HEAVY!

Killer Mike Speaks On His Upbringing In Activism & Campaign 2020 (Video)
June 4, 2019
‘Trigger Warning’ is as much a tribute to public broadcasting television as any Michael Moore film… PBS taught me it’s okay to put a message in what you’re doing. It’s okay to be overtly positive in that message. I got that directly from Public Broadcasting…
– Killer Mike
That’s DOPE! And many people shed a tear over that Mr. Rogers documentary to be certain.
C Tha God & Killer Mike with some REAL conversation on segregation, reparations, Bernie Sanders, the 2020 Campaign and more. Great episode of Emerging Hollywood.
Grammy Award winner Michael Render and host of Netflix’s ‘Trigger Warning with Killer Mike,’ joins Charlamagne Tha God in episode 5 of ‘Emerging Hollywood.’ He talks about the history of segregation in the United States, reparations and H.R. 40, Bernie Sanders, the 2020 presidential election, and more!
