The Rewind Ep. 31 We’re back with another episode of “The Rewind!” The “Family Guy” Landon Levarius and “The Bully” DJ Franchise are giving you their unfiltered opinions on hot topics. This time the guys give you part two of their take on Black History month . After already shining a spotlight on millennial music stars set to make black history, they’re highlighting TV and film creatives that will be remembered forever. Their picks are Lena Waithe, Ryan Coogler, Issa Rae, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan. Landon says MBJ is the perfect pick for the top spot of their list because he’s filling in box office seats like the greats. “He’s along the same lines as the Will Smiths to the Denzel Washigntons, Michael B. Jordan is a superstar by all accounts.” It’s the rewind, watch above! Source: Global Grind / Global Grind
Though Nike is known for their innovative and groundbreaking creations, it seems like their latest design has 2 Chainz up in arms. The “No Lie” rapper took to his Instagram page to call out Nike for biting the album art to his album Pretty Girls Like Trap Music and splashing it on the silhouette of their Valentine’s Day Zoom Fly SP. Designed by Nathan Bell, the sneaker does seem to not only feature the color of the album cover but the font used for the art and track listing. Naturally, Chainz peeped game and took to the Gram to call out Nike for stealing off his plate. “Dear @nike you guys are one of my favorite brands in the whole world. You have the best marketing I have ever seen and support some of the biggest superstars to date … I never really understand how much influence I have that’s why I made up the #blacknowstory so I could give people there#roseswhiletheycansmellthem !

If you haven’t heard by now, I am so sorry to ruin your Thursday. This Is Us is reaching its final stretch and will soon be over. Showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Dan Fogelman say that the beloved NBC series will wrap up after Season 6. “We’ve got multiple seasons mapped out,” Fogelman tells outlets, which is currently halfway through season 3. And while we still have some time left with the Pearsons, the end is near. Milo Ventimiglia opens up on Thursday’s episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show about the recent crushing news around This Is Us. “We never know where we are going to go. We never know what’s going to happen,” Milo shares. But he assumes that Season 6 will be the ultimate goodbye. “The show could have a huge spike in season six and everybody wants more beyond that. But I think creatively, they have an idea of what they’d like to do to kind of wrap it up in this nice story.” And while of course, we would prefer more, the peaceful ending they supposedly have in mind sounds interesting too. I guess. Milo reassures fans by saying, “At least the audience knows, the fans know, they’re going to get three more seasons, which is nice we can commit.” “It’s not like, will it be on? Won’t it be on? But then beyond that, yeah, maybe there will be more. I don’t know.” *mentally preparing ourselves for the climactic farewell* Aptaker says, “I would hope it’s elegant. That’s what we’re going for.” He adds: “I would hope that when we reach our ending, people think it’s really a satisfying end place, that makes sense, and it feels like they’ve watched something that is a complete piece of work because that’s really how we’re trying to plan it.” Last May, star Mandy Moore even opened up to Entertainment Tonight about how “parts of the ending have been shot.” This Is Us has also admitted to filming scenes for the SERIES finale in order to preserve the actors’ ages. Aptaker further revealed that everyone on the show knows where their storyline ends. “The show won’t overstay its welcome, we have a story to tell, we want to do this the right way,” he says. It’s all too real, tissues please. View Slideshow: This Is Us Finale: 8 Times We Cried Our Eyes Out
Peter Tork was the wise-cracking guitarist for the 1960s teen-pop sensation, The Monkees. Sadly, he has now passed away. Tork was 77 years old. The Washington Post reports that Peter Tork passed away on Thursday, February 21. Tork’s sister, Anne Thorkelson, did not specify her brother’s cause of death. However, the guitarist was diagnosed with adenoic cystic carcenoma, a rare form of cancer, in early 2009. Tork had received extensive treatment, using both surgery and radiation, in 2009 to combat the slow-growing head and neck cancer. It is unclear what role that serious heatlh crisis may have played in his death 10 years later. Tork’s friends, family, and colleagues released a statement on his official Facebook page. “It is with beyond-heavy and broken hearts that we share the devastating news” “that our friend, mentor, teacher, and amazing soul, Peter Tork, has passed from this world” “Please know that Peter was extremely appreciative of you, his Torkees.” After being recommended by a man who failed his audition, Peter Tork auditioned for The Monkees . He joined the pop-rock group called The Monkees, a then-fictional band created for the eponymous sitcom. Though Tork was an accomplished musician, he and the band’s other three members did very little with instruments in their early albums. Over time, he would play the bass guitar, keyboards, harpsichord, and banjo during the band’s recordings. His character on the television series was a “lovable dummy,” a role that endures across multiple genres because it is so endearing to audiences. The Monkees , the television sitcom, ran from 1966 to 1968. The band by the same name, however, played from 1966 to 1971. As a group, they produced six albums, four of which went to Number 1 on the Billboard chart. Peter Tork did leave the band before it was officially disbanded. Though the group had hoped to perform more together, ultimately they had musical differences. Tork also said that the filming schedule, and the way that it cut down on his time to actually work on music, exhausted him. Despite the band officially disbanding in the early 1970s, the group has held multiple reunions and reunion tours. With the The Monkees playing in syndication, they found reborn cultural relevance in the Twenty-First Century. Tork made his last appearance with the band in 2016 as they played at the Pantages in Hollywood. Without him, the two surviving members of the band, Nesmith and Dolenz, went on the road as a duo in 2018. At the time, they were vague about Tork’s personal reasons for not traveling with them. Tork released a statement to Rolling Stone to explain his distance from his former bandmates. “I have in general made no secret of the fact that all these recent years of Monkees-related projects, as fun as they’ve been,” Tork began. He continued: “have taken up a lot of my time and energy.” ” Moving forward, I have blues projects that I want to give my attention to. .. I’m shifting gears for now,” he admitted. “But I wish the boys well,” Tork concluded. “And I’ve learned to never say never on things further down the line. ” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam Countless fans are heartbroken over the passing of Peter Tork.

Source: Monica Schipper / Getty NEW YORK (AP) — Two Baltimore women have accused R.Kelly of sexual assault. At a press conference in New York Thursday, The women, Latresa Scaff and Rochelle Washington, joined lawyer Gloria Allred, said the singer R. picked them out of a crowd at a Baltimore after-party in the mid-1990s when they were underage and had sex with one of the teens although she was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol and could not consent. Related: Judge Orders R. Kelly Not To Work In His Studio After Hours Their accusations come six weeks after a Lifetime documentary series, “Surviving R. Kelly,” took another look at old sexual misconduct allegations against the R&B star. Scaff said she was 16 and Washington was 15 when the pair attended a concert and after-party featuring Kelly and LL Cool J in Baltimore. Scaff said Kelly singled the girls out at the after-party, had a member of his entourage ply them with drugs and alcohol and told them to meet him at his hotel suite. Source: Scott Legato / Getty “We both went to the hotel, thinking there was going to be another party there,” Scaff said. Scaff said the two girls were in Kelly’s hotel room when Kelly entered with his penis already outside of his jeans. She said he wanted a threesome with the two teens but Washington said no and escaped to the bathroom. Related: Your Jail Cell’s Calling: Alleged Third Tape Of R.

Kelly that night, I was very happy and excited because I was young and starstruck,” Scaff said. “However now that I am an adult, I feel hurt by what he did to me when I was only 16 years old and under the influence of alcohol and marijuana which had been provided to me at his after-party.” Washington said that now she’s a mother, she feels she was taken advantage of by Kelly. “I just want justice for anyone that was hurt or violated,” she said. “I want victims to know it’s not their fault.” Read More: Associated Press [ione_media_gallery src=”https://92q.com” id=”4069789″ overlay=”true”]

Today, TIDAL announced TIDAL Unplugged, “an unprecedented million dollar artist grant program dedicated to building emerging artists’ careers,” funded by Mark Lampert (BVF Partners L.P.) & Robert Nelsen (ARCH Venture Partners). While the first go ’round will only accommodate local Detroit artists , TIDAL plans to expand the program into other markets moving forward. So, what are the details? “TIDAL Unplugged will kick off in Detroit, where Lampert’s grandfather started his musical career. Local artists will have the chance to submit their music through TIDAL to receive part of the million dollar grant,” the subscription-based streaming service stated via press release. “The artists chosen will each work with the TIDAL Unplugged team to create a personalized program aimed to cover resources needed to further their musical career. The grant can cover living expenses, equipment, studio time, and more as well as access to expertly guided recording and creative resources. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows aspiring musicians to chase their dreams as well as dedicate more time and energy to pursuing a career as an artist.” “Working with TIDAL and utilizing the resources provided, the finalists will develop and finish four songs for distribution. Once the tracks are complete, they will exclusively premiere on TIDAL and receive promotion through its TIDAL Rising program. Artists will maintain 100% ownership of recording masters. As part of TIDAL’s mission to support rising artists with unique opportunities to grow their fan bases, the finalists will perform their songs in a TIDAL Unplugged showcase in November,” TIDAL states. So, how do I apply? “Beginning March 1, 2019 Detroit residents can apply on TIDAL.com/Unplugged ,” the press release goes on to state. “Artists from all genres are encouraged to submit, but music must be performed acapella or acoustically and must not rely heavily on digital elements. The finalists will be announced in May. Following a pilot run in Detroit, TIDAL aims to expand the program into other markets.” “The TIDAL Rising program is incredibly special to everyone at TIDAL – from the interns to the artist-owners — we recognize the power of streaming and the importance of supporting and encouraging emerging musicians,” said Jason Kpana, TIDAL SVP of Artist Relations, in the press release. “Being able to expand the program to support musicians in an authentic and substantial way is truly an honor.” Get your audition tapes ready…
