Tavis Smiley and Jimmy "JJ" Walker on why are there no black TV shows in hollywood.

B-13 Peer Review Presents :  The inside story... Watch Comedian-actor Jimmie Walker on PBS. See more from Tavis Smiley. Walker discusses his career and behind-the-scenes happenings during his stint on  Good Times  and shares what it’s like to be known for the popular catchphrase—and the title of his memoir— Dy-no-mite . Jimmie Walker went from the streets of New York's Bronx neighborhood to having people like David Letterman and Jay Leno write jokes for him, recording a #1 comedy album and opening for bands in 50,000 seat stadiums. Although he's worked as the main attraction in all of the top comedy clubs, he's best known for his controversial role on the landmark sitcom,  Good Times , and his "Dyn-o-mite!" catchphrase, which became popular in the American vernacular. Walker continues to enjoy a comedy career, now approaching five decades, and writes TV and film scripts. He's also penned a memoir, entitled (what else?)  Dyn-o-mite! Pl...

Yelawolf, Heart of Dixie

Image
Yelawolf returns to his roots with his latest effort, the ten-track mixtape  Heart of Dixie … Yelawolf is frustrated. He recently voiced disappointment with his label, Interscope, for promoting “one single in 11 months” from his debut album, November’s  Radioactive  (he was sure to clarify his frustration was not aimed at Shady Records). Surely, the album saw neither the commercial nor critical success that seemed possible for the Alabama-bred firespitter. Though many thought it was still a strong project—as Yela’s fury on the mic was not toned down— Radioactive  had a different overall feel than much of his previous work. With  Heart of Dixie , not only does he recapture much of his  Trunk Muzik  energy, but also willfully addresses the concerns triggered by his debut. “I would hope that you would look into my story, not just in my flow,” Yelawolf pleadingly raps on the tape’s final track, “Wrap Song.” Indeed, it’s easy to be so con...

Notorious B.I.G. Musical Writers Arrested In Bizarre Bookstore Incident

Image
(AllHipHop News)  Two men associated with the upcoming musical about the life of the Notorious B.I.G., were arrested for stealing books in Westport, Connecticut. Writers Alfred “Paper Love” Green and Raheim Pope, producers of “Ready To Die,” were arrested on Wednesday (July 19) at a Barnes & Noble bookstore. According to the  Connecticut Post,  Green, 40 and Pope, 37, were caught taking hundreds-of-dollars worth of books from the Barnes & Noble, and fleeing without paying for the merchandise. Police later found the books in a nearby Jaguar and determined that they were taken by the men without paying. The men initially denied owning the Jaguar, which had Georgia license plates. But in a stunning turn of events, Green told officers that he had been arrested with Pope before and that the key to the Jaguar was in Pope’s rectum. When police produced a metal detector and scanned Pope’s body, they found the key to the Jaguar hidden inside of his rectum...

Remy Ma Stabbed In Jail Rumors!

Image
There are rumors that Remy Ma is dead or stabbed up in jail. The details are sketchy, but one thing is for sure. Remy Ma is alive, my sources have told me. So that’s that. But, the stabbing is a bit more sketchy. That seems to be false as well. Apparently, somebody updated her Wiki page and decided to include that Rem was stabbed up. All reasonable people that have hit me up have said this is not true. Actually, Papoose – her hubby – ended the rumor once and for all. “Just left my wife on the visit 2day @ 330 she was and still is fine yall haters need 2 get a life @freeremyma,” Papoose tweeted. He also dissed GOOGLE! “Google need 2 step they s**t up and stop pushing fake stories @freeremyma.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Are the FEDS After Swizz Beatz?

Image
Super producer Swizz Beatz may not be out of the woods yet when it comes to charges stemming from his involvement with Megaupload. If you remember,  Megaupload was shut down in January of this year or piracy,  with four of its employees seeing jail time. According to  The Source , “authorities are currently going after Swizz Beatz after being swindled out of a charge on the count that Megaupload was outside the United States’ jurisdiction.” Swizz is now facing a 20-page motion filed by the feds – check out the paperwork  here . According to  AP , all of the Megaupload employees are now being indicted for their contribution towards Megaupload and its file sharing. Back in January, the U.S. government seized Megaupload’s domain names, $50 million in assets, and got the New Zealand police to arrest four of the site’s top employees, including its founder, Kim Dotcom. This sounds serious. Hopefully Swizzy will be cleared and can move past this. The...

Megaupload.com Shut Down, Top Executives Indicted For Piracy

Image
(AllHipHop News) Top executives at file sharing website Megaupload.com have been indicted and charged with violating piracy laws today (January 19). Federal prosecutors in McLean, Virginia shutdown Megaupload.com today, claiming that the company has cost copyright holders over $500 million in lost revenue, from pirated films and music being shared on the website.

Universal Music Group filed a lawsuit against a Megaupload.com in December of 2011 and forced a takedown of the promotional video because, it features artists signed to Universal. Megaupload.com countersued UMG and YouTube.com and the video was reinstated in December.

WHAT HAPPENED to HIP-HOP?

Image
Hip-Hop!  The weapon!?!  It was  supposed  to be the voice ”against” the system–  not  the voice “succumbed” by the system. Half of the Hip-Hop community is fighting to maintain its funky-freshness, while the other half of the game is running around throwing up illuminati signs…What part of the game is that?  Who knows…but one thing is certain!  The game has changed!!  Instead of spittin’ for respect and braggin’ rights, now rappers can just ‘say’ they are the best and no one questions it. Whaaaat?   What happened to battling to prove  yourself?  Hip-Hop use to be about the crew– the squad– having ‘a bunch’ of ‘ill lyricists’ with ‘ill rhymes’ that were on point!  And everybody had to be ‘syck-wit-it’ or they’d be kicked out of the crew!  Straight-up!  DJ’s, Rappers & Breakers all had to battle to gain respect! Well, with all of these changes in  HIP - POP …there are onl...

Blythe bail doubled – but freedom still not certain

Image
MARTIN KIELTY  at 01:05pm July 18 2012 No guarantees: Randy Blythe Randy Blythe’s bail has been doubled to $400,000 and the objection raised against him being freed has been overruled in a Prague court hearing which took place two says earlier than planned. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be freed – the judgement is subject to the same appeal process that forced him to remain behind bars even after posting $200,000 surety following his arrest three weeks ago. The vocalist has still not been charged for any offence, despite being accused of manslaughter after fan Daniel Nosek died in June 2010, a month after allegedly sustaining a head wound at a Lamb of God concert. Band manager Larry Mazer says he’s waiting for an official letter explaining the judgement and detailing the conditions of Blythe’s freedom. Meanwhile the musician has spoken in his first interview since being jailed in the Czech Republic on June 27. Blabbermouth  reports him saying: “I don’t know ...
