‘The Therapist’ Talks To Joey Bada$$ (Video)
November 29, 2019
All is love…
But sometimes we are just too far down to feel its warmth. We need help sometimes. Sometimes, we need help to learn that we need help in that way.
I like the way the doc inches into the depths with Joey at the start. Joey being allowed to talk. Talking to somebody, esp. a professional, is a good thing… that can bring us back to better things (like full wellness and good mental/emotional health).
Joey Bada$$ grapples with the suicide of friend and fellow rapper, Capital Steez.

Noisey Bompton: Growing Up With Kendrick Lamar (Part 1) [Video]
February 20, 2016
Surely you did not think it was a game when we said that Kendrick Lamar said he would rep Compton for life, did you? He got the Key To The City and he’s still locked in! Well, Noisey is dropping six parts of proof for the last one or two of you doubters out there. Yep, VICELAND Noisey sent one of their Whitest reporters out to the Blood side of Compton (that’s Bompton) to talk to K.Dot and give us perspective on the hood love he gets now and what it was like “Growing up with Kendrick Lamar.” Hood pass granted!
Compton, California, is one of Hip-Hop’s most celebrated locales, the birthplace of acts like N.W.A. and, more recently, Kendrick Lamar. It’s also home to a complicated gang culture. ‘Noisey Bompton’ centers around Kendrick Lamar and the friends he grew up with on the West Side of Compton, many of whom feature on the cover of his album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly.’ In the first of six segments, we sit down with Kendrick to talk about his acclaimed albums, pay a visit to his high school, Centennial, and get to know his childhood friend Lil L.

August 1, 2013
“And now I’m gonna hand out Chocolates…” Hahahaaaa!!!!
Noisey UK, a VICE channel, arranged a surprise visit and PERFORMANCE for St. Hilda’s senior living facility…from Action Bronson! So, of course, he dropped that hot “Strictly 4 My Jeeps” on them.
