http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Sean Spicer still has a job despite lying on a daily basis. His struggle has provided plenty of fodder for Melissa McCarthy , who once again hilariously portrayed the White House Press Secretary on Saturday Night Live last night (April 15). Spicey apologized for his even Hitler wasn’t so bad commentary and not calling “Holocaust Centers” by their proper names, “Concentration Clubs.” Can’t say this is as funny as the previous sketches, though.

http://instagr.am/p/BS3UJS8g-8Q/media/?size=l Gilbert Arenas found himself back in the news but, per usual, it has nothing to do with basketball. The former All-Star guard went on a tear where he criticized dark skin women and even threw actress Lupita Nyong’o  under the bus by saying she “ain’t cute” to him. Arenas responded to an Instagram post from Rashidi Kweli, who posts under the ProBlkThought username on the social media network. Kweli posted an image that read “Dear Black Girl, You Don’t Have To Be Mixed To Be Beautifull” which prompted Arenas to respond with his ham-handed tirade against dark skin women. Arenas’ response is as follows: How black are we talking??? Not to be funny can u name a beautiful black women on the outside … not brown skin … like tyrese black … top 50 most beautiful women off [sic] all time … the darkest women they have is (Keshia Knight Pulliam aka Rudy) (gab)) union) (taral hicks) (Serena Williams),” he wrote before adding, “When u say A...

http://ift.tt/2pm77HZ Aries Spears was talking ish during a radio interview, and caught a fade in the process. The comedian got punched repeatedly, and of course video of the incident has made it onto the Internets.  Reports TMZ : The incident went down during the ‘Corey Holcomb 5150’ online radio show. One of the co-hosts, Zo Williams, got into it with Aries, and then it got real racial. Aries went off on a jag about “light-skinned n****s” being loud. That’s when it got physical with Zo throwing the first punch. Actually, he threw all of ’em. Sources tell us Zo and his co-hosts were fed up with Spears being rude. In the video, Spears said he was drunk during the show. After the incident he dismissed Zo as a “bitch n***a” … on Twitter. You weren’t saying that on the show, though, Mr. Spears. In the clip Aries threatens to throw hands, but ends up covering up as he catches multiple blows to the head. Peep the fade delivery below. The post Comedian Aries Spears Caught...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Geraldo Rivera loves when his name is mentioned, so he wasted no time in responding to Kendrick Lamar’s reference to him on “YAH” from the DAMN. album. Fox News reporter and life-long finger-pointer Geraldo Rivera has had an issue with Kendrick Lamar ever since he stood on top of a cop car and performed “Alright” at the 2015 BET Awards. Rivera responded to the performance saying that it was sending the wrong message on the heels of the handful of police killings that year. Reminder, police officers were doing the killings, not rappers. Anyways, Kendrick only responded once back then saying that Rivera was twisting his words. Now, two years later Kendrick referenced him again on his song “YAH” where he used a clip from the Fox News telecast were Geraldo made his statements and referenced him directly. He rapped: Interviews wanna know my thoughts and opinions Fox News wanna use my name for percentage My latest muse is my niece, she worth livin’ See me ...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Half of the internet is convinced that Kendrick Lamar is dropping another album on Sunday. Here is why. Thursday night, just hours before Kendrick’s DAMN. album was set to become available online, a leak occurred. While some chose to ignore it, others opted to listen. Seeing that the leak was beginning to gain traction online, TDE in-house producer Soundwave hopped on Twitter to let people know that they were not listening to the official version. But what if I told you… that's not the official version.. — Sounwave (@SounwaveTDE) April 14, 2017 4|14|17 http://pic.twitter.com/IGXPG21iI1 — Sounwave (@SounwaveTDE) April 14, 2017 The internet interpreted this as Kendrick having another album on the way.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J J. Cole has gone platinum twice with no features, and he owns his masters. In a rare interview, J. Cole sat down with The New York Times to preview his HBO documentary 4 Your Eyez Only.  The documentary complements his December 2016 album of the same name. Where Cole used the album to rap from several different perspectives, the film will use the camera lens to show the lives of working class Black people in  Atlanta , Georgia and Ferguson, Missouri. Cole will also visit his hometown Fayetteville, North Carolina as well as his father’s hometown Jonesboro, Arkansas. However, the documentary will not feature Cole as a narrator or a subject, instead, he will only be a listener. “I felt like it would be mad powerful for black people to see black people talking to each other, he tells NYT. “And you see a rapper who’s considered one of the biggest in the game, just listening. These are people that never get to be heard, by the world or even by each other....

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Master impressionist Jay Pharoah is speaking for the first time about his departure from Saturday Night Live.  If missed the memo and have been wondering why Pharaoh hasn’t been seen on SNL in recent months, it’s because the show let him go last year. He’s been pretty silent about the matter since then, but he decided to open up in an interview with Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning. According to Pharoah, a multitude of factors led to him being fired. One, he says that he refused to wear a dress. Two, he says they started to use his Obama character less, which makes sense, since he was leaving office. “If you have multiple people on the cast saying things like, ‘You’re so talented,’ ‘You’re so able,’ ‘They don’t use you and it’s unfair and it’s making us feel bad,'” he said. “They put people into boxes. Whatever they want you to do, they expect you to do. I’m a little fiery too… I’m not a yes n***a.” Three, he feels that he may got got too outspoken. Especia...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Taxstone is sitting in jail while Troy Ave, who was allegedly seen firing a gun in Irving Plaza on surveillance footage, is out on bond. Tax’s lawyer pointed this out, and other matters, in a letter he sent to the judge seeking his client’s release.  Reports Bossip : In a letter to the judge, Taxstone’s lawyer argued that he’s no flight risk, has a good job and questioned why Troy Ave was granted bail despite facing more serious charges for his alleged involvement with the shooting. The popular podcast host, who was born Daryl Campbell, was arrested in January and indicted on charges of possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and having a gun that was the result of interstate commerce. In court papers obtained by BOSSIP, the “Tax Season” host said that it’s Troy Ave, not him who is facing an attempted murder charge, and said police have the rapper on video firing wildly and found the gun used that evening in Troy Ave’s possession. Further, Taxsto...

Earlier this week video surfaced of Gwinett County police officers Michael Bongiovanni and Robert McDonald attacking 21-year-old Demetrius Hollins of Lawrenceville, Ga. Hollins was pulled over for not having a license plate and making numerous illegal lane changes. Bongiovanni says when he approached the car he smelled marijuana. His report also said that Hollins was “acting strangely” and started asking for his mother. The officer also says that he asked him to get out of the car, to which Hollins refused. As we already know, anytime you resist an officer’s request, even if you are in the right, sh*t goes all the way left. From there Bongiovanni punches and tasers Hollins. After that McDonald came on the scene and stomped him in the face. Gwinett County PD has responded by terminating both officers for their...

Lawrence dodged paying taxes between the years of 2009 to 2011, putting the blame on what he said was a shady accountant.  DNAInfo reports : Derrick Lawrence, whose label Aspire Music Group once included such big names as Drake and Lil Wayne, confessed in Brooklyn Federal Court to not paying more than $2 million of personal income tax from 2009 to 2011.

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Young Thug has a thing or two to learn about predatory loans, and making sure you have a trusty accountant. The Atlanta rapper reportedly owes $2.2 million his Atlanta home, and is being sued for not paying up.  Reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution : A lawsuit filed by Heritage Select Homes, LLC on Wednesday claims the Atlanta-based rapper — whose real name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams — owes more than $2.2 million in house payments. The home is gated and nestled in Buckhead Heights. Records show that Young Thug — who had six songs crack the Billboard Top 100 in 2016 — agreed to a “balloon promissory note” on the home on Sept. 19, 2016. A promissory note with balloon payments helps document and clarify the terms of a loan that’s designed to have one or more larger payments due at the end of the repayment period. Instead of getting a 30-year or 15-year fixed rate loan like most civilians, Young Thug was supposed to make some hefty payments, and didn’...

Of course, the question is a gaping rabbit hole just screaming to jumped into and Staples yelled “Geronimo” and dove in head first. “If we’re talking about right now, it’s Kendrick, easy, not even close,” he said. In a refreshing bit of humility, Vince didn’t even name himself in the best ever/best now discussion. He included Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg , Jay Z and Kanye West in his Top Rappers list as well. When asked about people like Eminem, Tupac , and Biggie. He gave some very direct responses as to why they don’t make his cut. He says more people want to be Kanye than they want to be Eminem. He also gave the unpopular opinion that Biggie ‘s catalog was not long enough to be considered a...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Shannon Sharp e , a former NFL star, and current Fox Sports news analyst, knows a little bit about facing adversity after growing up poor in Georgia. After a series of Instagram posts by Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant about racism and accountability, Sharpe gave the wide receiver a strong lesson on what race truly means for a Black person in America. Bryant took to Instagram earlier this week to support a notion uttered by race expert Charles Barkley that the reason Blacks don’t find success is other Black people. He followed that rant with a series of posts that suggested success comes from within and that race shouldn’t play a factor in one’s ascension. The posts sparked a lot of dialogue and prompted Sharpe to respond during a segment on the FS1 Undisputed show. Below, we’ve shared one of Sharpe’s thoughtful and measured quotes: I think Dez’s heart was in a good place, but because he hasn’t read up enough on the race relationship and the history of r...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Jeffrey Lord , a CNN political commentator known to swing off the sack of Cheeto Trump went full headass today (April 13). While on national TV he called the “alleged” POTUS the “Martin Luther King, Jr. of healthcare.” Let’s keep in mind that Trump was sued by the feds for housing discrimination, and settled, bragged about sexual assault and has called for the banning of Muslims from entering the U.S.. Also, he has the vocabulary of a grade schooler. Meanwhile, MLK enrolled into Morehouse when he was just 15, was a Nobel Peace Prize winner, is an icon of the Civil Rights Movement and was assassinated for his work. Props to Symone Sanders for eloquently explaining Lord’s tomfoolery to his face. Jeffrey Lord should not be on anyone’s television making such asinine statements. Especially on CNN. Jeffrey Lord called Trump "the MLK of healthcare". Enough is enough. Write @CNN and tell them to #FireJeffreyLord : https://t.co/0En07f07Hw — Matthew Chap...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J LeBron James is set to open a public school in his hometown Akron, Ohio in Fall 2018. In an interview with NBC’s Pro Basketball Talk , James revealed that he is opening the I Promise School, an extension of his education foundation of the same name. “This school is so important to me because our vision is to create a place for the kids in Akron who need it most – those that could fall through the cracks if we don’t do something,” James said. “We’ve learned over the years what works and what motivates them, and now we can bring all of that together in one place along with the right resources and experts. If we get to them early enough, we can hopefully keep them on the right track to a bigger and brighter future for themselves and their families.” The school will focus on children in the third and fourth grade with hopes to expand up to eighth grade by 2022. James himself knows just how crucial those grades are in school. He himself admitted to missing 82 day...
