Hey, I’m doing a little freelance blogging today and writing about random things that are on my mind. I was watching the 2011 version of Conan The Barbarian, starring Jason Momoa on Netflix the other day, and got a little curious about the 1984 version, Conan The Destroyer, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger and the amazing, GRACE JONES. In the film, Grace played Zula, a sorcerer and ally of Conan. Check out one of my favorite clips of her below giving advice on how to get a…

KOBE BRYANT’S – “Dear Basketball” His Oscar-Winning Short Film (Video) via @lisafordblog
We still can’t believe that the Legend and father, Kobe Bryant, is no longer with us. Yesterday, we all witnessed a deep tragedy when Kobe and his daughter Gianna, died in a helicopter crash on their way to Gianna’s away basketball game. We grew up watching Kobe dominate the NBA while playing for the Los Angeles Lakers. And from what we could see on TV and on social media, Kobe and Gianna were basketball’s new dynamic duo with Kobe’s daughter on track to one day…

Tommy From POWER May Be Getting His Own Show. (VIDEO) of Tommy’s Journey via @lisafordblog
Of course Tommy finished the show POWER (Starz) alive because, well, that’s what the whole world wanted. Following the jaw-dropping last episode, which honed in on Tommy’s (played by Joseph Sikora) backstory, the audience was able to connect with this character by learning his true motivation…to be loved and accepted by his mother (or by anybody at this point). Tommy remained loyal to the streets throughout all of the seasons of Power, he never snitched on any of his conrads, and remained a powerful one-man…

The Last Black Man in San Francisco – (Movie Review & Trailer) Have you seen it yet?
I highly recommend that you watch The Last Black Man in San Francisco on Netflix. This independent drama focuses on the effects of gentrification in the area and I must admit, watching this movie was surreal considering that San Francisco is my 2nd home and I got to see it through the lens of a struggling black man desperately trying to reclaim a Victorian home that his grandfather built. I often travel to the rich historic city to marvel in it’s beauty with it’s unique architecture…

‘Mulan’ Trailer: Live-Action 2020 Version Is Kick Ass & Resembles the Animated Film
I have to admit that i have watched Mulan 1998, the animated film at least a hundred times, so I am truly looking forward to to this live action version dropping March 27, 2020. in.Askmen, “The similarities between the animated movie and the live-action version severe most ties (mid way through the trailer).

QUEEN & SLIM (Official Trailer 2) – Watch It Now!
Through the title characters, (who are actually unnamed until the last moments of the film) Lena Waithe manages to illuminate the complexities and vastness of the Black experience, while zeroing in on two very specific people. Jodie Turner-Smith is mesmerizing as a buttoned-up, high achieving defense attorney who’s led by an intense desire for justice. Daniel Kaluuya is flawless as Slim. He is more easy-going, and doesn’t expect too much from anyone. He relishes the simple things in life like faith and family and accepts the way things are without much…

G-EAZY ft. Gunna – “I Wanna Rock” (Official Video)
All I can say about G-EAZY’S new hit… is that he drops some serious bars. That shot at Halsey 💀 “ No Limit all I got is Me, Myself, and I, when I said it was her & I that shit was a lie .” Ok G-Eazy, we hear ya! This beat does remind me of Venom by Eminem but I love the raw unfiltered lyrics. Even the chorus has a raw sentiment, a G-Eazy reply to the seemingly large amount of hate he seems…

ROYCE 5’9 – “Black Savage” ft. Sy Ari Da Kid, White Gold, CyHi The Prynce & T.I. (Official Video)
Before you ask, the sample song in Royce da 5’9′s banger is Kothbiro by Ayub Ogada from Kenya. The sample says the rain is coming, bring the cattle back home….that’s a language from the Luo Tribe in Kenya. Black Savage is so inspiring. I’m proud of this. My bottom line review of Royce’s Black Savage? Royce killed this, point blank. CyHi had something to say, and TI can literally read a dictionary to me and I’ll be down with it. Sick production, Royce, sick verse,…
