Watch This Deleted Scene From “Black Panther”… A Confrontation Between The Heads Of The Dora Milaje And Border Tribe (Video)
May 2, 2018
Summon the Dora Milaje! Conflict!
In this deleted scene, the “Black Panther” characters Okoye and W’Kabi (Danai Gurira and Daniel Kaluuya) are going at it. Did you know that they were MARRIED though? The characters, not Danai and Daniel.
Great scene. Too bad it didn’t make the final cut.

By now, you know opening weekend for “Black Panther” was epic! Sway, Heather, and Tracy get into all kinds of topics related by the movie and relevant to us. Wakanda Forever!
And Lupita and Danai for as long as they want. Whew! So beautiful.
(That said, Let it be known that Heather and Tracy G have been on my ‘Can Get It’ list for a long time! Just being polite to company.)

Ryan Coogler Interviews J. Cole For #MLKNow (Video)
January 25, 2016
Above: Ryan Coogler (Director of “Creed” and “Fruitvale Station”) with a deeper than in-depth interview with J. Cole. You can tell it was more a frank discussion than an interview though; Coogler admitting to this being his first time as an interviewer and Cole admitting to a gang of things: the tragic death of Oscar Grant as told in “Fruitvale Station” makes him cry every time… fear-frustration-sadness and artistic motivations that came from subsequent incidents of police brutality… feelings on Black-on-Black crime… life as a married man (stunned the crowd, and toned down the ladies’ screams…for the time being).
Watch the whole 20 minutes. Very appropriate conversation in the wake of the Martin Luther King, Jr. commemoration. Engaging, enlightening and empowering! The web was on fire due to news of Cole’s nuptials being dropped like a bomb in this clip, but the most powerful moment was when the brothers were exchanging thank-yous to end the interview.
Stop thanking me… We a part of the same body. Bruh, my hand don’t wake up and thank the other hand.
– Ryan Coogler
Wow… feel that chill? That surge of pride? That’s #MLKNow and hopefully motivation to take strides.
