D Smoke, Londynn B, Troyman & Flawless Chat & Freestyle On ‘Sway In The Morning’ (Video)
Hmm… I wonder if Flawless was this picky for his BET Cypher freestyle (see here). No matter, because under pressure, the bars were up to par. Flawless is fierce with the flows.
And he will keep sharpening that sword. As will the rest of the Rhythm + Flow artists up there with Sway that day.
The internet has been buzzing about Netflix’s new show, Rhythm + Flow, and today we welcome the final contestants, Londynn B, Flawless, Troyman and of course the winner of the $250k, D Smoke.
Not only did these 4 fire spitters talk about their journey on the show, the exposure they received and the advice they were gifted from each celebrity judge — but they also gave advice themselves.
Inglewood reppin’ D Smoke also opened up about his investment plans with his quarter of a million.
You know we couldn’t let them leave without dropping off a few bars though.

What is your position on ‘zipper politics’ though? Have you even thought about it? Because Hannibal has.
Hannibal Buress explains why he’s wearing sunglasses indoors and complains about people who tell him to zip up his pants. (Contains strong language.)

If you really, really respect a playa… just hearing that his name and new music video are out there out to be enough to get you checking for it.
Got ’nuff respect for Twista?
Well, I do. I clicked and watched ASAP, knowing I was gonna post this regardless.
(Because I knew it was gonna be good! I mean, it’s off his “Summer 96” mixtape after all.)

Dope!
Tek gained the rep with, and continues to rep for, Smif N Wessun and Duck Down. This “Eastside” is the move. Y’all see the other half of the bredren math Steele moving in there, too.

Tiffany Haddish. Yessuh!
Why am I posting her for the nooner hour? Because of that re-THICK-ulous azz DONK she STUFFED in them JEANS! That’s that thicky-thickie-THICKEE. Oowee!

Looks like Warren G was glad Tiff made it out, too.
Great clip!

RIP John Witherspoon (Video)
Sad news. The world of comedy, and the world at-large, lost another great one this week.
Announced yesterday by surviving family members, stand-up comedian and comedic/voice actor John Witherspoon has died. We will certainly miss the man most knew as ‘Pops’ (from ‘Boomerang,’ the ‘Friday’ movie franchise, and ‘The Wayans Bros.’ TV series).
John ‘Pops’ Witherspoon aka Comedy’s Favorite Dad has passed at the age of 77.
– Comedy Hype
With the slick ‘hood wit, silliness, and boisterousness of that made him perfect to play that dad (or Granddad, a la ‘Boondocks’), it was like Witherspoon was born to bring belly-laughs to us; whether lounging in our theater seats or living room love seats.
Rest In Peace, ‘Pops.’

RJ Payne – “What We Doing” feat. Freeway (Prod. By P.A. Dre)
RJ hears the suckas out there talking sh!t. But what they wanna do though? It can get very hectic very fast. ‘Freeway beard sticking out’ and so is his gun! That part.
Careful answering that “What We Doing” question, haters. Just saying.

Fab Boy Boochie With R.I.P. Bars For ‘Cupcake’ (Video)
Shout to Birmingham’s (Alabama) Fabboy Boochie (aka Charles Smith) for this timely rhyme I caught on the Facebook feed. I think we will all feel this one for a while. We should. We must do better by our children.
We keep losing our babies in the most heinous ways. Recently, Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney was kidnapped from a party, and her remains were found a week later (more after the jump). Damn.

Sports: NBA To Crack Down On Verbally Abusive Fans (Video)
Okay. I’m for this. I mean, I would hear the old argument, “That’s what they get paid millions for… to put up with fans’ outbursts.” But I was ALSO a proponent of once your mouth ‘writes that check’ that 6’7″ brother you slurred should get to ‘cash you out court side’ (fines issued on a case-by-case basis, of course). I mean, hey, ALL speech is free… but no one is free from the consequences (just saying).
Nowadays, though, why don’t we just mandate some decorum on both sides. If you don’t think your seat was worth what you paid for it, don’t feel like you can “get your money’s worth” with hateful heckling. Nah, son. That day is done.
I especially like that even a ‘borrowed’ season ticket seat can be lost if the borrower acts out of pocket.
Only potentials issue I see: No ‘instant replay’ in the stands. A lifelong fan losing that season ticket seat for a ‘misheard statement’… well, taking that L would hurt a fan working for $50K a year way more than that athlete who earned $5MIL last year.
Let’s see how this plays out. Let those players play in [relative] peace from now on.

Step Brothers (Evidence x The Alchemist) – “Burnt Tree” (Video)
Evidence & A-L-C going HARD over that HARD beat that The Alchemist cooked up just for this occasion! A “Burnt Tree” (cess) probably contributed to the studio sess responsible for this scorched earth madness!

Interview: Real Talk With T.I.’s Real-Life Wife, Tameka “Tiny†Harris (Video)
Wowwww… T.I. went full ‘Red Table Talk’ on this episode. Brought the spouse (Tiny) on, like Jada did with hubby Will Smith, to sip and spill all kinds of marital/relationship tea. I will admit to being a bit nervous when I hit play.
We all know that marriage and relationships aren’t easy subjects to talk about, but this ain’t the same fairytale unicorn approach you’ve heard before. Tip welcomes his matrimonial life partner, Tameka “Tiny†Harris into the #expediTIously studio for a “private,†refreshingly honest conversation on getting through life as a team.

Dead Horse Beats – “Easy Nothing”
They played this jawn on Nightwatch (the late night show that comes on the radio just before The Remix) and I had to call in to the station. He said his lady friend picked it. Good ear! By the way…

Performance: Busta Rhymes Doing A Live On-Air Medley Of His Hit Songs For Power 106 FM (Video)
E-Man was right in there with Bussa Buss, wasn’t he? So DOPE! This is why I love radio and small room performances (like NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series and the ALL CAPS, no cap RESPECT! event). See how all the big show energy is concentrated in the clip? Hip-Hop Fission… and the folks’ reaction as the experience this… NUCLEAR!
It makes it all the more awesome that Busta and Big Boy were obviously having big fun all the while!
(Shout to my baby brother Lyle for tagging me in on Facebook for this HEAT!)
