http://ift.tt/1KZWm4f After suffering a crushing loss in the South Carolina Primaries this past weekend to Hillary Clinton (who somehow got more of the Black vote than Obama did back during his Presidential campaign), Bernie Sanders, and Killer Mike, took time to sit down with The Breakfast Club . In his time with the morning trio, the Presidential hopeful took the opportunity to shed some light on his beliefs, his goals, and his controversial communist “connection.” Hit the flip to see some of the things we learned from Bernie Sanders time on The Breakfast Club . — Photo; The Breakfast Club The post 8 Things We Learned from Bernie Sanders and Killer Mike On The Breakfast Club appeared first on Hip-Hop Wired . from Hip Hop Wired

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Schoolboy Q’s “Collard Greens” has been a fan favorite for years now and while we enjoyed the video to the club smash it turns out that there’s an alternate version to cut. The original clip to the Kendrick Lamar featured single found it’s way online and while it isn’t as fun as the video that was released in 2013, it’s still worth a watch. Just wondering why this wasn’t released for TBT. Speaking of TBT, Curren$y takes it back to the classic blaxploitation flick The Mack and uses cuts from the film to integrate it with his own visuals to the Alchemist produced “The Mack Book.” If you’re not familiar with the movie you need to stop slackin’ on your mackin’ and step ya cinema game up. Check out the rest of today’s visuals and some cuts you might’ve missed over the weekend including work from Truth featuing Sean Price (R.I.P.), Young Dolph, and more. SCHOOLBOY Q FT.

http://ift.tt/1XW7DnX Stop us if you’ve heard this before, Katt Williams was arrested today. The comedian with a penchant for drama allegedly 2-pieced a pool shop worker in Gainseville, Georgia. Reports TMZ : Police tell us Katt was arrested Monday at a pool supply store in Gainesville, GA. Officers say Katt had a verbal altercation with an employee and it escalated when he threw an object … and then punched the employee. Katt, who’s had his fair share of arrests, assumed the position — cops say he was on the ground with his hands behind his back … ready to be cuffed when they arrived. He’s being held on $5,000 bail. So far, no details on what specifically initiated the delivery of the fade. Either way, considering Williams rap sheet, the judge won’t be having it. In other news, Williams recently threw more shade at Kevin Hart (he called him a puppet ), but the fellow comedian and actor was kind of busy kicking at the Oscars. — Photo: TMZ/Gainseville PD The post Kat...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J For 10 years, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been essentially mute but broke that decade-long trend on Monday (Feb. 29). Justice Thomas shocked reporters and observers with the series of questions, of which was related to a domestic abuse case and the Second Amendement. As reported by the Huffington Post, Thomas posed his first question this morning afrer Assistant Solicitor General Ilana Eisenstein asked if the justices had any question at the close of a hearing. Thomas wasn’t expected to speak but when he did, he definitely turned heads. HuffPost reports : “Can you give me another area [of law] where a misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right?” Thomas asked Eisenstein, who was arguing that a federal ban on gun ownership for people who are convicted of low-level domestic violence offenses at the state level should apply if the offense was committed “recklessly.” A strange silence fell over the courtroom.

http://ift.tt/24xfnkD The NBA playoffs are near, so that means signature kicks will get an “Elite” revamp. Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 8 gets the said treatment, which includes a calf-length compression sock that may or may not make your normal socks jealous. Says Nike Basketball:: Created in collaboration with designer Leo Chang, the breakthrough basketball shoe features a calf-length compression sock, full-length visible Nike Zoom Air cushioning and Flywire technology with Kevlar® aramid fiber. Strategically placed non-stretch woven materials ensure a snug, secure fit while foam provides protection and comfort. “Transitioning from a low to high is a decision we made with confidence based on our ongoing feedback from Durant to always push the limit on innovative design,” says Chang. “The KD8 Elite is conceptually designed to blur the lines between the shoe, sock and tight; seamlessly transitioning between each so you can’t differentiate where one begins and the other ends.” ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J It’s safe to say that Chris Rock stole the show as the master of ceremonies at last night’s (Feb. 28) Oscars. But one joke that had everyone scratching their heads was his anointment of Stacey Dash as the director to his Minority Outreach Program. “I cannot wait to help my people out,” she proclaimed on stage after Rock’s monologue. “Happy Black History Month!” Was he trolling us? Was it an inside joke? Did the Republicans get to Rock? These were just some of the questions the confusing moment spurred from the show’s millions of viewers. Not one to let an opportunity for press to pass her by, the controversial Clueless star almost immediately took to her blog on patheos.com to explain her bizarre appearance and reintroduce herself to the world. Part of it reads: Well, I’m Stacey – with an “e” – and it’s nice to meet you. I was born in the South Bronx, became an actress in Hollywood where I starred in the 1995 movie Clueless.
