The decade of cinema dominated by black films and film stars such as Isaac Hayes , Fred Williamson , Richard Roundtree and Pam Grier came to be known as “Blaxploitation.” Good or bad, the films were known for their action, their style and in some ways, even their stereotypes of certain characters. Join Our Text Club To Get The Latest Music, Entertainment, Contests And Breaking News On Your Phone. Text BOX to 24042 to join! Perhaps the most iconic of the films happened to be Shaft and in the latest installment of the film, three generations of Shaft are coming together to prove it’s a family thing. Madd Hatta sat down with Roundtree, Samuel L. Jackson and Jessie T. Usher to ask them about what “blaxploitation” means to them AND we even got some ideas from Tim Story on whether or not a focus group’s reaction makes him go back and edit films. “I did, given the fact that Gordon Parks spoke on it and he’s such a dignified human being that when that word is used in conjunction with Gordon Parks, it doesn’t work. There isn’t anything exploitive about Gordon Parks,” Roundtree says. Jackson asked, “What’s your better name? I mean, we all do but that’s the period, it’s not a genre, it’s more a period. It was like a testing ground, I saw everything from Shaft to Candy Tangerine Man … a brother who was a pimp during the week and insurance man on the weekends. JD’s Revenge. All those films inform what I do because it was about getting back against the man.” Shaft is in theaters now.

Email Submit She claimed that her secret was the product Body Complete RX , a brand of plant-based health and beauty supplements. “My secret is out,” she wrote. “@bodycompleterx got me snatched! Even when I travel I take my kit along and the slim ER w/ energy booster helps keep me on track.” However, Kenya has been a fitness fanatic for some time, and most importantly, eats healthy, which we believe is the true reason she was able to bounce back so strong after delivering Brooklyn in November. “I’m 47 years old. I was worried too,” she said about the pressure to slim down post-baby. “The young girls get to snap back but what about me? [laughs] And so, you take care of your body and you eat well.” “I eat a lot of fruit. I drink a lot of water — a lot of water,” she added. “Vegetables. I’m really a pescatarian so I eat a lot of fish, sushi, things like that.” It also didn’t hurt that a lot of the weight she put on, 75 pounds worth, was water. “A lot of it, to be honest, because of the preeclampsia, was water weight gain,” she said. “So a week after I had given birth, I lost 40 pounds. But I had a C-section so I couldn’t really stand up, I obviously couldn’t work out or do anything like that. But I was a workout person before. I took care of my body. I, what we call just ‘snapped back’ after two weeks. I thought, ‘Wow! My tummy is flat again,’ or nearly flat. I didn’t think that would happen.” Looking good, Kenya! We’re glad to see her have her happily ever after — and manage to look this good while having it.

Toy Story 4 is phenomenal and I personally think it’s the best one of the bunch. It’s more diverse than ever as Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the gang embark on a road trip with Bonnie and her new toy named Forky. The adventurous journey turns into an unexpected reunion for Woody when he bumps into his long-lost friend Bo Peep. We also get to meet Bunny and Ducky voiced by Keenan Michael Key and Jordan Peele who add so much flavor to this Toy Story we can call it soul food. Throw in Combat Carl and Giggle McDimples and this is easily the most diverse movie in the franchise. On this episode of Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine we go inside Toy Story 4 and I ask Tom Hanks who plays the iconic Woody and Tim Allen to discuss the diversity in Toy Story 4. Tom emphatically states “It’s got to be done! This is the way we live now, so it’s got to be diverse.” Tom is no stranger to diversity and being well informed in the culture with his Black Jeopardy skit on SKL being the second most popular video on their channel. So I decided to test his Black Card by asking him and Tim a couple of questions on Black Culture and Tom aced it. He stated that Jay Z and Nas is the biggest debate in Black America and knows how to handle himself on the spades table revealing he learned to go big watching people play Whist in Oakland, California. “I go deep baby! I go deep. Now when I was in Oakland, California they all played whist.” Tom acts out slamming cards on the table, “Kids were playing Whist man, but That’s like a version of spades.”

Considering Tyler’s history as a troll of epic proportions, it should come to no one’s surprise that he took a petty jab at the We The Best honcho. As captured by The Shade Room, Khaled’s video rant in where he referred to IGOR as “mysterious sh*t” before eventually removing the clip. View this post on Instagram #PressPlay: #DJKhaled hit us with a post & delete about his album (the internet thinks he was throwing shots at #TylerTheCreator). Coincidentally, Tyler responds to a fan who brought it up (SWIPE) A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Jun 9, 2019 at 8:36am PDT Tyler replied to tweet referencing Khaled’s rant, acknowledging that for “mysterious sh*t,” the album is moving. DJ Akademiks joined in on the fun and uploaded a post of the album covers next to each other asking which one was the best among fans. Tyler replied to the post writing, “HIS MSG SHOW SOLD OUT BUT FR I HAVE NEVER HEARD A TYLER SONG IN MY LIFE,” in an obvious jab at Khaled. View this post on Instagram I hope Khaled don’t see this… he ain’t gonna like this mysterious sh*t. A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akadmiks) on Jun 8, 2019 at 8:10am PDT It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, considering DJ Khaled is taking legal action against Billboard to enforce his claim he was robbed of the top-charting status because 100,000 units were not counted in his total first-week sales count. — Photo: WENN
