Marilyn Monroe – See the Dark Side of Celebrity in New Trailer for ‘Blonde’ on Netflix via @lisafordblog
Who doesn’t love the iconic Marilyn Monroe? I think we all do. Initially, I wasn’t going to post about this new Netflix movie because her story has been told over and over and we get it…Marilyn was a tortured soul who was treated strictly like a commodity versus the gentle person that she was…and ultimately met her demise from all of that Hollywood pressure. Marilyn was a legend who didn’t have the chance to fully enjoy the fruit of her labor, and she left this…

GloRilla – Glorilla Flo (#BoxedinLivePerformance) on #lisafordblog #HipHop
I’m placing lyricist GloRilla on the blog because I find her to be a refreshing addition to the rap game. It’s the raw real talent with no gimmicks for me. Hip Hop craves authenticity and Yo Gotti knew that when he signed her. He also knew you can never go wrong when you sign an MC from Memphis. As 8ball and MJG has proven that with a twang Memphis flow that is incomparable. And female rappers from Memphis have always been the hardest in my…

The Scariest Scene Ever – “The Eye” #Original – Horror Movie via @lisafordblog
I am a certified horror movie buff and I’ve watched damn near every horror film created. Why subject myself to tales terror that some say, invokes nightmares and anxiety? Because I’m curious to see how ordinary protagonists manipulate difficult situations to fight for their existence and survival. The title of this blog post is according to a Youtuber who favored the original Asian version of the The Eye movie, versus the American remake starring Jessica Alba. I admit, I also believe the remake was watered…

Rest In Paradise DMX – “Couldn’t Nobody F*k With Me Then… Can’t Nobody F*k With Me Now” (A DMX Rare Freestyle via @lisafordblog)
One of my favorite rappers of all time, DMX, shared his freestyle video on his Facebook, showing the world that in spite of the inner demons he's been battling throughout the years, that his is still the master lyricist that we all know him for. "I've been spitting for 20 years. It's not about believing, it's about loving what you do...It's about doing what you do with the pure enjoyment of knowing that you're the best at what you do." - DMX

Freddie Gibbs – Big Boss Rabbit (Official Video) via @lisafordblog
Freddie Gibbs, currently my favorite rapper, has never charted on the Hot 100 as lead or guest artist. In fact, he had no charting song ever, proving that charts can be misleading. Freddie is one of the biggest rappers out right now and his new single, Big Boss Rabbit is hitting. Big Boss Rabbit samples Nas’ You’re the Man produced by Large Professor. They way he flipped the legendary You’re the Man sample was perfect and his flow is at an all time high. Most…
