Black Pop Culture roundup

The TI stuff makes me sad, I love him lol.
And all the reports say Tiny confirmed it but the quote they refer to really doesn't scream confirmation, it just seems like she's saying that if he did it he can take it up with God.

[sfy]

Team Aubrih.

Puff has been beating Cassie up for a long time now .

[brandnewday]

I like Jaden in The Get Down. He is hilarious and crazy. The show casted him perfectly.

Drake and RiRi together is cute to me. I wonder if they'll calm each other down a bit, or it could go the other way.

RiRi can do much better than Wheelchair Jimmy who dances offbeat.

They make a good pairing to me. Success and style-wise. I'm a fan of Drake. Not like hardcore, but enough. lol

I don't know who half these people are and I can't even care about the ones I have heard of. I don't watch reality TV. I really feel old.

Lol. Same. I had no idea puff had a girlfriend or that the smith kids were in a show. I get my pop news from the trending part on fb (probably says I'm old) Will Smith did show up there about a trip with some guy, but I ignored because I didn't know the guy.

[orangeblossom]

Do y'all watch Greenleaf? I like it.

[gazpacho]

My friends keep telling me to watch Greenleaf. I am so behind on shows. I haven't watched ONE episode of Power, yet.

[thejackpot]

I hope TI isn't cheating. I mean they just added Heiress to the fam.
Puff should just let Cassie go, she needs a real relationship. He is never going to settle down.
I think the Smith children are interesting like they try too hard or something. I think they will turn out good though. They are so attractive!
Bac and Rob will probably fizzle before their child turns a year. He needed to spend more time working on himself before creating a family.

I like Power (stopped watching Scandal and Empire). They say this is a big rich townnn, I just come from the po'est part, bright lights city life I gotta make it, this is where it goes down, I just happen to come up hard, legal or illegal baby I gotta make it....

Yes, I stopped watching Scandal, Empire, OITNB....Power--Well, I haven't watched this season, yet. But, I loved the show last season....I like binge-watching. So, I will wait until this season is over.


I NEED to start watching Black-ish.

I've seen a few Power episodes at friend's houses, but don't watch it regularly. I like what I've seen

[NitaX]

Chile. I pays NO attention to TI and Tiny.

I started watching Greenleaf, but I haven't been keeping up. I like it tho. I think it's very well done. The acting is better than the Tyler Perry shows.

RiRi and Drake are an item? I had no idea. I like Drake tho. He's pretty cool. At least I like his songs. LOL

WTF was that video Kanye had at the VMAs? I don't understand.

Also, Beyonce. Y'all Imma end up a member of the Beyhive. I'm scared. I'm really scared. I like this older, more aware Beyonce.

[skwcm80]

Puff and Cassie are a thing? I didn't know. I'm so old.

I might be coming over with you. I'm try to hold strong, but I'm loving new Beyoncé too. Not enough to spring for concert tickets though.

YES!!  Come on, girl.  This dude is unspeakably lame. 

[andwhat]

1234FIF! I really thought Cassie was reality TV. That outfit is hot. I wish I could pull off those pants.

I know TI and Tiny, but only from a million years ago. I know nothing about what they are doing now.

I like Drake, but I thought the Luvvie posted a video of her basically saying 'nah brah' on national TV. Am I all confused there.

Isn't Blac Chyna a Kardashian thing? Lawd I am so confused. Who is Aubrih? How do you even say that? This whole post reminds me of when H and I saw Mike Epps. He did this whole segment on Reality TV (I think?) and we were so confused. Everyone was dying and we were like Who? I have never felt so old.

NitaX I am feeling you on this new, mature Beyonce. I am here for it.

[brandnewday]

Has anyone been watching The Get Down?

I want some clean red new Pumas because of that show.

Awww man, I like wheelchair Jimmy! I think he might be sweet.

He has beef with too many of my favorite rappers.  Respect the game, youngster! 

He also claimed that he invented rap singing, and my deep love for Bone Thugs N' Harmony will not let that blasphemy stand.  I was their number one, most ratchet fan back in the day.  Lol.

[andwhat]

Adds The Get Down to things to check out.

I feel like this board is gonna make me lose my black card. LOL

[threejs]

I am def an old and don't really follow hip hop anymore. I also don't watch much tv, but I'm trying to get my life. I just got starz so I can watch power. I'll talk about old school hip hop all day erry day tho. Who lives in ATL? When I was there this summer I went to Old School Saturdays with my cousins. I can't remember when I last had that much fun. I stayed on the dance floor for like 3 hrs. They need to bring it to DC.

[andwhat]

I don't get to watch much night TV. H likes Ballers but didn't like Uncle Buck. He used to watch Survivor's Remorse but stopped. I don't know why.
Now that I will have more normal hours i am going to try to get into some shows.

I do love The Carmichael Show and Black-ish. I can't stand Tyler Perry so I don't watch any of his stuff.

Was he upset that Mike Epps got killed off Survivor's Remorse?

Yes. And I think he was even more mad about it because he doesn't like Uncle Buck. I now remember him complaining about that. I think I only saw 1-2 episodes in passing.

[redwino]

What channel shows Ballers? I've never heard of it. I liked uncle Buck but H said it got canceled. Is that not true?

[NitaX]

I'm binge watching this weekend. I'm so far behind on all my shows.

Ricky Jarrett can get it. I like 'em chocolate and beard bushy. He looks soooo much like Pauletta though.

They can both get it. Yummmm

[sweetday]

I can jump on the no make up thing .. only because I never wear it.
Sheer laziness and not knowing what the hell to do with makeu6 has its perks. Lol

[sfy]

Aubrih = Rihanna and Drake's portmanteau. Aubrey + Rihanna = Aubrih. And I know he's a whore and fills all his days and nights with big booty strippers, but when he's not doing that, he adores her . So I'm here for it once he gets himself together.

Good to see you . Yes, I love this show. Plus, I love that kid from Dope. There is a thread on it on CEP too, but I watched the whole thing in a day and a half, which was easy because it was only 6 episodes. WHY they haven't released the other 6 is beyond me but from what I understand, it was ridiculously expensive to make.

In a small way was sad to see his character go, but I really haven't liked him since he was talking crap about his black kids and was talking terribly to and about his daughter on the Internet. I watched the show anyway because Bron Bron, but it was hard to stomach him. 50 talking bad about black women is why I gave up Power, too. These dudes act like its so hard for them not to disrespect their core audience.

Yes, physically, @barefootbarista.

My husband and BFF like Ballers, but for some reason, I just didn't connect with it initially and when that happens, I rarely try again.
