Source: Dave Kotinsky / Getty After years of frustration and anticipation, Lil Wayne finally dropped Tha Carter V on Friday. Of course, fans made their opinions known on Twitter, but one song in particular is bringing the nostalgia and I’m not talking about 2008 “A Milli” feels. I’m talking way back to 2002 when G. Dep dropped his Bad Boy Records banger “Special Delivery.” Wayne sampled the song on the third track from The Carter V called “Uproar.” “Special Delivery” was released as a single from G. Dep’s debut album Child of the Ghetto. The music video was notable for featuring the popular dance The Harlem Shake. Kids from the clip showed off their shoulder action and soon a dance that was once known as a New York style was spread across the world. When listeners heard Lil Wayne’s “Uproar” they couldn’t help but take it back to the early 2000s. An #UproarChallenge even started gaining traction on social media. Just take it from @based_soc on Instagram. G. Dep had previously featured the dance in the music video for his debut single “Let’s Get It,” but with “Special Delivery” the moves were cemented in music culture. Artists were using the dance left and right for their music videos or performances, including Bow Wow for his 2002 music video “Take Ya Home.” Years later, The Harlem Shake would surge in popularity again, but unfortunately it was due to the electronic music producer Baauer , and the dance that came from his song had nothing to do with the moves from Harlem. The backlash from Harlem and people familiar with the original dance caused the media to revisit the history of the moves. According to DNAinfo.com , The Harlem Shake was created back in the 1980s by a Harlem resident named Albert Leopold Boyce a.k.a. “Al B.” According to his mom, Al B. would perform the dance at the Entertainer’s Basketball Classic tournament in Harlem’s Rucker Park. Ironically, Al B. had an alcohol problem, so his gyrating moves that would become known as The Harlem Shake probably had something to do with his public intoxication. But no matter how the dance came about, the community took hold of the moves dubbing it the “Al B.” Decades later, shakers around the world are re-inspired thanks to Wayne’s “Uproar.” Hit the next pages to check out more dancers showing off their revived Harlem Shake!

Along with a struggle mugshot showing the entertainer looking lost in the sauce, allegedly a Petty Paul made sure his first meal behind bars was pudding . The Blast reports : Officials at Montgomery County Jail in Pennsylvania tell The Blast Cosby will be well fed for his first night in the slammer, including a chicken patty with gravy, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and an iced tea juice packet. On top of all that, we’re told he will be getting VANILLA PUDDING! It’s unclear if the pudding will actually be Jell-O, but convicted sex offenders can’t be choosers. As for what Cosby will be facing over the next few days until he’s transferred to a permanent facility to serve out his sentence, we’re told he will be first searched and offered a shower before changing into prison attire and issued his jail swag. Like other prisoners, Cosby will get the standard issue prison housekeeping items such as a blanket, sheets, washcloth, towel, and a hygiene kit. — Photo: Montgomery County Correctional Facility

During a sit down interview “The Last O.G.” star Tracy Morgan seemed to be in his feelings when asked about co-star Tiffany Haddish, saying “We’re not gonna go there…because this isn’t Tiffany’s show. This is Tracy Morgan. This is ‘The Last O.G.’” He continued, “You gonna ask that about Tiffany, ask that about Cedric (the Entertainer) and ask that about craft services.” Not feeling the shade, Tiffany’s former co-star on The Carmichael Show Lil’ Rel decided to clap back. This is one hating ass dude right here that show would be nothing if @TiffanyHaddish wasn’t on it… Don’t bite the hand that keeps you relevant!!! pic.twitter.com/BlpDu9Sxjw — Lil Rel Howery (@LilRel4) May 31, 2018 Do you think Tracy was being shady?
Diddy is almost worth 820 million dollars his companies over 2 billion but white people still talk about him like he’s a hoodrat, not a multimillionaire business man who continues to top each year with the most money made by any other entertainer. Shows how white people view us. pic.twitter.com/JSw0NHAFUU — Tommy Rosiers (@tommyrosiers) December 18, 2017 Diddy’s Early Bid To Buy Panthers Sparks MAGA Outrage Ah yes, it’s time ONCE AGAIN for our favorite song: Racist mayo packets melting in the presence of Black excellence . This time, they’re BIG MAD at zillionaire mogul Diddy who announced interest in buying the Carolina Panthers (and bringing Colin Kaepernick back) in a headline-snatching move that sparked pumpkin spicy white rage across social media. So, let me get this straight. Colin is preaching about being oppressed while at the same time being privileged and favored Typical Liberal. I still haven’t seen him do a thing for anyone other than himself. Colin- you are a joke. ~MAGA pic.twitter.com/FR4Dyqhl42 — MAGA Rose (@MAGARoseTaylor) December 19, 2017 Peep the latest Mayo MAGA outrage over Diddy potentially owning the Panthers on the flip.
Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic Netflix Announces Upcoming ‘Def Comedy Jam’ Special Though there was talk a couple years ago that HBO and Russell Simmons signed a deal that would include a 25th anniversary special for Def Comedy Jam , it appears another company got ahold of the opportunity. Netflix announced on Thursday morning that they would be airing a Def Comedy Jam 25th anniversary special this fall. The line-up for the special is set to feature Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Bill Bellamy, Cedric the Entertainer, Mike Epps, and a whole lot more. HBO premiered Def Comedy Jam in 1992. Hosted by Martin Lawrence, the series introduced a bunch of Black comedians to a mainstream audience, like Martin Lawrence, Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle, and Bernie Mac. Netflix said they would be bringing new stand-up specials every week to their streaming service for the rest of 2017, and this year has seen two new specials from Dave Chappelle, Tracy Morgan, and also has plans for two new specials from Chris Rock.
Bow Wow is no stranger to taking L’s on social media as he is constantly the butt of all jokes.
