One poor hillbilly found this out the hard way and the added commentary in the viral video doesn’t make the “L” any easier to swallow.

Source: Taylor Hill / Getty Issa Rae and her successful HBO series Insecure has become a part of pop culture and gave an inside look at Black culture never before seen in mainstream media. Rae says that the upcoming third season of her show will pull a hot topic directly from social media and turn a focus onto toxic masculinity in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter . THR reports: What themes do you want to explore in the next season? I don’t want to give anything away! But I love black masculinity as it relates to black women. I think that’s something interesting that we haven’t gotten a chance to explore yet — and specifically toxic male black masculinity as it relates to black women. I’m trying to find a way to explore that and get a rounded storyline that isn’t preachy. What else can you tease about season three? This season is about adulting in a new way. I think we’ve watched our characters really fumble and fuck up — and in some ways in your 20s you are allowed that — but this season is about not acting like you’re naive anymore or that you don’t know better. So it is about, what does it look like to know better and to do better? Check out the full interview here . — Photo: Getty

Brother Love called into The Breakfast Club earlier this week to promote the new season of The Four . While discussing the music competition show the crew steered the conversation to the much hyped Drake and Pusha T diss records . Love provided his thoughts on the lyrical bout. “It’s a part of hip-hop, man If you’re trying to be the best MC, I mean, there’s gonna be battles. At this juncture in time, it’s kinda safe. When we was having battles, it was getting unsafe. I think that this is the most skillful artist that Drake has come up against and, you know, Drake likes the smoke, he loves the smoke” he theorized. When asked about his decision on the victor he didn’t mince words. “[Drake] took the L.” Puff went on to cosigning Drizzy’s decision of not responding as per James Prince, founder of Rap-A-Lot Records. “I was in that same position with [2Pac’s] Hit ‘Em Up’ and I told Big not to respond, so I can understand because what B.I.G had written for them, it was going to get as bad as it got” he added.

Fun fact: This restaurant in Vietnam was so honored by the visit, that they framed the table and stools. pic.twitter.com/hTorcNGg4N — Denizcan Grimes (@MrFilmkritik) June 8, 2018 Anthony allowed us to travel the world with him and to see things most of us probably wouldn’t have if it weren’t for him.
