Check Out The Highlights From The 13th Annual ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Belly Flop Competition (Video)

I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s celeb commentary on this Belly Flop competition. There’s technique to consider… Take it seriously, folks!! Reminds me of the VERY serious (but hella fun) Cannonball Competitions we had every summer back in Tuskegee (Alabama, USA) back in the day.

Every year we set up an above-ground swimming pool, and we send Cousin Sal out to Hollywood Blvd to pull a group of confused pedestrians off the street, put them in bathing suits and make them compete in a belly flop contest. This year’s guest judges are Adam Rippon, Mark McGrath, Anthony Anderson’s mom Doris, and a special appearance from Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

History: What Ancient Roman Parties Were Really Like (Video)

Have you seen that ‘Caligula’ movie? Google it and see how wild a party orgy can get! Man, did the ancient Romans know how to party! But wait. It turns out that the parties, though indeed ‘all that’… They were not all sex-on-sexy-sex time. Oh well. Yay, history.

Contrary to popular belief, Rome was not all crazy sex parties. In fact, ancient Roman parties were pretty tame by today’s standards. Most of the time, it consisted of noble families getting together, eating elaborate food dishes, and talking about everything from politics to the weather. These parties were beacons of status and networking opportunities, which is why they became a cornerstone in everyday Roman life. Partying in Rome was common, but racy Ancient Roman escapades weren’t popping off on the daily.

Hmm. That Bacchanalia sounds like Freaknik in Atlanta back in the day (ha)!

Just Angie’s Success Story: The Day She ‘Called In Well’ (Video)

They pay you just enough for you to show up. And you do just enough so they don’t send you packing.

I know. You saw Angie’s name in the title, and realized it was Noontime, and thought, “YES!” Well, that is the right response; but maybe for not the below-the-waist reason. Angie is Eye Candy, definitely, but HEARING her story above, might be the EAR CANDY you need to get [back] on the grind toward really LIVING [your best life]!

A clip of ImJustAngie guest appearance on Date Night with the Crafts Podcast where she discussed quitting her 6 figure corporate America J-O-B and evolving to over 6 figures as an entrepreneur and a B-O-S-S.

Campaign 2020: Watch A Quick Recap Of The Biden Vs. Sanders Debate (Video)

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.

DJ Kayslay – “Living Legend” feat. Jadakiss x Queen Latifah x Bun B (Video)

I built the ground that you walk on.
I taught you how to tilt your crown. Come on!

If seeing the lineup for this rhymefest did not make you wanna click play ASAP… maaaybeee you aren’t in the right place. Just saying. But stay if you wanna know what a “Living Legend” flows like. We got three examples right here for you – Jadakiss, Queen Latifah, and Bun B!

Note: If your response to seeing Queen Latifah as one of the emcees on this was, “Oh, she raps? Wonder what made her try that.” Then you get a pass. And a drag rag… to wipe that wetness from behind your ears… young’un (haha)!

This is the title track for an EP that DJ Kayslay has out now (linked below). But hold up. Before you go for that. Peep the visual. Golden Era bars! Plus, salute to Kay for ALL THAT THICK HONEYNESS in this video #YeezusWEST

Dave East – “Really Wit Me” (Prod. Mike Kuz x Joe Joe Beats) [Video]

If I don’t know you, I don’t know you. I don’t feel strangers…

Dear label execs: Do not come at East with the wack-azz quarter-mill advance deal. That’s no money. Plus, he doesn’t know you to “trust you” like that (e.g. don’t feed him the “we can renegotiate” line either).

Besides, Dave doesn’t need the money or the trappings of wealth. What he NEEDS is to know the answer to his question: Who “Really Wit Me” (what we all really need to know for real)?

Benny The Butcher – “Did I” (Prod. By Fuse Of 808 Mafia x Black Metaphor)

Did The Butcher do something wrong? Not according to him. So why point a finger at him? Matter of fact, no need to answer. All these liars letting dude’s name fall out their mouths are gonna get the work!

(Hear him talking up that Jimmy Fallon performance? He did smash that. Guilty!)

4-IZE – “Verse 164” (Prod. By Mudnoc) [Video]

You know what? 4-IZE has a point: Where are all the flying cars?? We haven’t even gotten self-driving cars out and about yet. We are behind schedule with the sci-fi tech we are supposed to have by now. Good thing we got these unbelievable flows (but believe, because FACTS) from Bro4 though.

Conway The Machine – “Sign Language” (Prod. By Daringer)

Hip-Hop about to experience a climate shift.

It already is. The temperature is different out there in Buffalo. HOT! I mean, it’s still cold… and the BARZ are colder… but we are not gonna act like every time Conway spits he ain’t spitting pure FIRE! And he has a LOT of work out there.

That supreme sh!t talk Stone Cold Steve Austin was bringing to Iron Mike Tyson’s face in that audio clip at the end though. I remember seeing that live on TV back a good long while ago. Ended it with a double ‘one finger salute’ (“Sign Language” for real)! Maaaan, them Griselda dudes are some real rasslin’ fans #MeToo

Comedy: Wait-A-Minute, Jae. Something Does Not Add Up (Video)

Jae The Fade. Sexy AF. Off the chain AF. Trying to catch her man, through his mans, slipping while he’s out there tipping. But wow, Jae. Like that? You’re gonna do him like THAT?

I mean, to her credit, Jae wasn’t really doing a lot of neck-rolling and finger-pushing. Sure she rode Jah, but not hard. And though the situation is certainly f’d up… but Jah has gotta get one more ‘ride’ in… if this is gonna be ‘quits.’

Big Flip Papi – “U Really Luv This Life?”

About that life? Nah, eff that. Do “U Really Luv This Life?” Are you sure? Maybe you are, until you hear BFP speak truth on ‘that life’… and he is shouting out people who are people who are paying the price for living the life, taking the risks… AND he’s writing out the prescription for [trying] to stay ‘healthy’ when you are in the life.

Do you love what comes from being a hustler?
BFP takes you into his jail bids and what comes with the fast life.

Okay, let me spoil it: You gotta be INSANE if “U Really Luv This Life?”

This is one of those real talk joints. More so than the bars, lean in for the realness!

Off the “Bullpen Therapy” album (out now).
