(Video) Ebro In The Morning Says: No One Cares About The Plight Of Men
Ebro in the Morning got heated this morning while discussing the plight of men, and how no one cares whether or not a man is depressed.
While the women in the room – Laura Stylez, Scottie Beam and myself – tried their best to explain, Ebro was persistent with his views about men with money having a better quality of life compared to men who don’t.
What do you think? Watch the full video.
Rosenberg Radio Presents: Joe Budden x Marisa Mendez – I’ll Name This Podcast Later [Episode 5]
Episode 5 is here, and we’re talking hip-hop this week!

We also discuss the 2015 XXL Freshmen nominees, and break down why “It Might Be Over For…” Ms. I-G-G-Y!

#TBT Mixtape: Nicki Minaj – Playtime Is Over
In April or May of 2007 (my sophomore year of college,) I was riding in the car with my then-boyfriend, excitedly listening to Lil Wayne‘s new mixtape The Drought 3, when I heard a really dope female voice on “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.” Interest piqued (as I always appreciate a dope chick,) I picked up the case to see what name was listed, and made a mental note to Google “Nicki Minaj” when I got home later that day.
After some Googling in my dorm that night, I landed on her MySpace page, and I was excited to see she was SUPER fly, and had a few more really good songs as well. Being the random person that I am, I sent her a message and told her how much I was feeling her stuff, and asked how I could get my hands on more. She wrote back pretty quickly and was super sweet, thanking me and letting me know her debut mixtape would be dropping in about a month. She even left one of those ridiculous glittery “showing love” GIF’s on my comments that we all used to use. LOL!

(Photos) Poppington Gallery Hosts ‘Paid In Full’ Art Exhibit
“No ribs, no rice, no champagne,” surely comes to mind when looking at the two paintings in the above photo, and the beauty in the middle is the brainchild of it all. Burgeoning artist Rebecca Maria‘s first solo show paid homage to the classic film Paid In Full, featured at Poppington Art Gallery in NYC yesterday.
The exhibit, which featured Rebecca live-painting one of her 14 pieces of work, was accompanied by 80s and 90s-themed music, giving guests a feeling of nostalgia. “This is a great addition to the Paid In Full legacy,” one attendee noted, referencing the almost 40-year history that includes a movie, Eric B. & Rakim‘s album, and the true-life story of Rich Porter, Alpo and AZ.
