Pioneer Supermodel Beverly Johnson Talks About Being Drugged By Bill Cosby, A One Night Stand With Mike Tyson And More (Video)
Okay, she is there because she is promoting a book. But c’mon son… you KNOW Sway would ask about what she said about The Coz and the druggings (being that Beverly Johnson was one of the first to affirm that Bill was dropping ’em with the drinks… allegedly). And the book is chock full of ‘Scandal’ level messiness besides that – rivalries between models, messing with that ‘white girl’ (e.g. cocaine), Mike Tyson… Verrrry interesting.
From being the first Black model on the cover of Vogue to building an international empire, the lovely Beverly Johnson stopped by Sway in the Morning to talk about her new book, The Face That Changed it All: A Memoir.
AUTOGRAPHED BOOK: BEVERLY JOHNSON – THE FACE THAT CHANGED IT ALL: A MEMOIR
Scarface Speaking On Being ‘Deeply Rooted’ In Independent Music, His Best Album Ever And More (Video)
Scarface is definitely a citizen of The Universe… and a recent guest on Sway in the Morning. Good candid convo, as we have come to expect from BrotherMob’s interviews. Dropping “Deeply Rooted†on September 4, 2015, the talk around the web will likely be, at least in part, on how the work is guaranteed to be ‘real’ or ‘less commercial.’ Again, isn’t that also what we have come to expect from Uncle Face. He’ll touch on that aspect above as he speaks on ‘the best work he has ever done.’
Big talk… But real talk. Along with him admitting imitation-flattery of Chuck D’s style (and to being a crazy FANatic when it comes to PE’s “Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos”), likening his Geto Boyz to N.W.A. (maybe even a movie coming of it, similarly. Hmmmm). All that and so much more in the interview above.

King Los Kills his Freestyle on Sway In the Morning (Video)
There was a time when if you were a rapper and you went on a Hip Hop Show guess what you did? Â You would actually go on there and Rap, Freestyle at worst kick a written verse just perform at least. Â This is not the case today it is not required or asked of to have artists get busy on the mic. Â Sway who hosts Sway in the Morning on Sirius radio keeps the tradition alive by having emcees do what he calls the 5 fingers of death. Â Where he changes up the beat and periodically throws out words that the emcee has to keep the freestyle going based off those words. Â He had King Los stop by and it’s safe to say that Los snapped during this segment. Â Successfully completing the 5 fingers of death and continuing to freestyle acapella for an additional two minutes on his own. Â This had Sway talking his talk about wack excess along with Heather B! Pick up King Los new album God, Money War out now on iTunes
Wack emcees stay home with your broke baby mother who can’t buy you a movie screen for your video games N@!*A – Heather B

Word to the wise: Adjust your ‘focus’ around the 14-minute mark so you can understand how things go OFF THE RAIL! The brothers work it out though. Just don’t try to turn up on Sway either. Just saying Ye.
