Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers believes it’s “God’s Plan” for him to get a championship ring, especially after beating the Toronto Raptors during Game 3 in the playoffs.
With 2.5 seconds remaining in the hard-fought overtime, the score 101-101, the Cameroonian hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer with less than 1 second on the shot clock.
Harris said, “In the first half Drake was over there saying [Embiid] can’t play here. I said, ‘He can play here, for sure.’ [Drake] was like, ‘Nah, he can’t play here.'”
So, at the end of the game, when walking past the celebrity floor-seat ticket holder, he returned the troll.
He said to the rap star, “I thought you were a superstar. Get you’re a## on, I’m coming for the sweep,” he joked.
TIP is doing his thing on so many fronts, you gotta love it. If you don’t you might just be a hater. SO, I am looking at the internet a bit and come across our own interview! I had not seen this in-depth interview with COMEDIAN Tip Harris!
The whole interview is good, but I drilled down on the conversation about Will Smith and Chris Rock. I know its getting a bit old, but it cracked me up. Tip suggests to Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur and Slops that he would still “defend” his fam no matter WHO. So, The Rock was in the building the day of the infamous slap and so…what if it was The Rock and not Chris Rock?
TI: If [The Rock] says your mom is a ((some thing really bad)) in front of your mama. Can you determine how you would respond to that? If The Rock said it…you gonna let The Rock get that off in front of your mother?
Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur: HE MIGHT!
Seriously. You gotta see this. For context, Tip was also talking about the incident with Lauren Knight, the female comedian that had some jokes about his wife and his life. They talk about “the line” and if there is one in comedy.
This all happens around the 27-minute mark.
Here is the caption from the AllHipHopTV page:
Much has been made of Tip “T.I.” Harris’s recently, sudden foray into stand-up comedy. The former trapper has delved into acting with plenty comedic offerings, but stand-up is a different animal. The AllHipHop Team, including Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur, Slops and DJ Boy Wonda, linked up with the man himself right before he took the big jump on stage at the highly-publicized performances at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. In this chat, Tip talks comedy, why he does it, who he loves and more. He gets into this whole Atlanta / Omeretta The Great / Ludacris conversation. Lastly, he says he’s closing a big chapter in his life as a Hip-Hop artist.
Mike Tyson is not to be played with. That’s the number one rule with the champ. I’m not sure, but some guy on a plane apparently didn’t know the rule.
Mike Tyson is one of the most feared and heralded boxers ever to race the sport. And he is primarily known for his knockout power and his dynamic, explosive style of fighting.
This reputation has carried with him throughout his life.
In the year 2022, some fool on a flight out of San Francisco to Florida, thought it was a good idea to provoke Mike.
According to TMZ, a man decided to repeatedly harass Mike Tyson on a flight. At first it was cool, according to witnesses. Mike even took a selfie. However, the man continued to provoke and harass Mike. Part of the interaction is captured on video by TMZ sports. The actual fracas is not on tape.
The only thing that is recorded is the aftermath, where the man appears to have blood dripping from his pathetic face. Mike walked off of the plane shortly after the alleged assault.
This man has already gone to police after receiving medical attention.
Mike Tyson repeatedly punches man in the face on JetBlue flight, bloodies passenger https://t.co/P6w36atOMe
I can see this may result in some sort of a legal problem with Mike Tyson, but I don’t see it as anything lawyers cannot handle. As seen in the video, he was acting a damn fool towards Mike Tyson, who was minding his business. Furthermore, sources are saying that the man was actually drunk and just kept messing around!
In the words of The Joker: “You get what you deserve!“
Three weeks after Will Smith smacked Chris Rock in the face at the 94th Academy Awards, it appears the Smith family is still not ready to talk about the situation in a public forum. Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, did issue a new statement.
There were reports that Will Smith planned to discuss the incident in an upcoming episode of Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk. A new installment of the Facebook Watch program premiered on Wednesday, and Jada used the opening moments of the show to address the topic a lot of people are waiting to hear out more about.
“Considering all that has happened in the last few weeks, the Smith family has been focusing on deep healing. Some of the discoveries around our healing will be shared at the table when the time calls,” read a message from Jada Pinkett Smith.
The Matrix Resurrections star’s onscreen text continued, “Until then… Table will continue offering itself to powerful, inspiring, and healing testimonies like that of our incredibly impressive first guest. Thanks for joining us.” Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris invited singer/actress Janelle Monáe on for the latest episode of the show.
Will Smith Apologized For Hitting Chris Rock In Defense Of Jada Pinkett Smith
Rapper-turned-actor Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock on stage at this year’s Academy Awards after Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. Jada shaved her hair off after revealing she suffers from the autoimmune disorder known as alopecia.
Following his Oscar win for Best Actor forKing Richard, Will Smith apologized to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and his fellow nominees during the ceremony. The four-time Grammy winner later offered an Instagram apology to Chris Rock.
Will Smith also voluntarily resigned from AMPAS following the backlash caused by his assault on live television. The Academy then banned the Hip Hop artist formerly known as the Fresh Prince from attending any of the organization’s events for ten years.

Bronx Drill rapper Kevin “Kay Flock” Perez is experiencing a breakout moment. With the help of fellow BX native and global superstar Cardi B, the Capitol recording artist is gaining international exposure following the release of his new “Shake It” single.
Kay Flock is still relatively unknown to a large number of Hip Hop fans. However, viewers will have the chance to get to know the presently incarceratedThe D.O.A. Tape creator better when the Brotherly Love: The Kay Flock Story documentary arrives.
In the meantime, Kay Flock’s verified YouTube channel posted a teaser trailer for Brotherly Love. The 53-second video includes the teenager’s friends and family members discussing his rise in the music industry. Bronx-bred rhymer Lil Tjay appears in the clip as well.
Kay Flock and Lil Tjay collaborated together on 2021’s “Not in the Mood” which peaked at #61 on Billboard’s Hot 100 weekly chart. Tjay’s track also featured Brooklyn Drill artist Fivio Foreign.
In addition, Kay Flock found success as a lead artist with his “Is Ya Ready” single. Since its premiere in August 2021, the music video for “Is Ya Ready” amassed more than 25 million views on YouTube. “Being Honest (Remix)” featuring Chicago’s G Herbo has passed the 17-million-view mark.
“Shake It” featuring Cardi B, Dougie B, and Bory300 is likely to be Kay Flock’s biggest hit to date. The song’s video is currently trending at #2 in YouTube’s music section. It already has over 2 million Spotify streams. Plus, “Shake It” remains in the Top 20 of Apple Music’s Top 100: USA chart.
Despite expressing some reservations about recording her viral verse for “Shake It,” Cardi B has been heavily promoting the song on her social media accounts. Many of the Grammy winner’s 128 million Instagram followers got to see numerous TikTok dance videos using the Elias Beats-produced record.
On Wednesday, the United States Department of Justice concluded there is reasonable cause to believe that conditions and practices at the Mississippi State Penitentiary violate the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Some of the violations cited by the DOJ include failure to provide adequate mental health treatment, failure to take sufficient suicide prevention measures, subjecting people to prolonged isolation in solitary confinement, and failure to protect incarcerated people from violence by other incarcerated people.
“On behalf of Team Roc, we are pleased to see the Department of Justice recognize the horrific conditions in Mississippi’s prisons. Because of the inhumane conditions, we filed lawsuits in Mississippi to help protect the men living inside the infamous Parchman prison,” says Desiree Perez, Roc Nation CEO.
Perez continues, “For years, the incarcerated population has been forced to live inside rat-infested conditions and survive with a water system contaminated with human feces all with non-existent healthcare resources available to them. Over the past three years, the death toll has been utterly devastating and we hope today’s report brings many families and their loved ones one step closer toward getting the justice they deserve. We applaud the Department of Justice for their report.”
Later that year, attorneys and medical experts working with Jay-Z, Yo Gotti, and Team Roc uncovered the unsanitary and unsafe quality of Parchman. Video footage and photographs showed inmates were subject to foul-smelling water, dilapidated restrooms, flooded floors, exposed wires, and other inexcusable situations.

The DOJ Is Investigating Several Facilities Run By The Mississippi Department of Corrections
“The Constitution guarantees that all people incarcerated in jails and prisons are treated humanely, that reasonable measures are taken to keep them safe, and that they receive necessary mental health care, treatment, and services to address their needs,” says Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Civil Rights Division.
Clarke continues, “Our investigation uncovered evidence of systemic violations that have generated a violent and unsafe environment for people incarcerated at Parchman. We are committed to taking action that will ensure the safety of all people held at Parchman and other state prison facilities. We look forward to working with state officials to institute comprehensive reforms.”
The Justice Department’s investigation into Parchman Farm began in February 2020. Inquiries into conditions at Southern Mississippi Correctional Institution, Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, and Wilkinson County Correctional Facility are ongoing.
“Our office is dedicated to defending the civil rights of all our district’s residents, including those who are incarcerated. We look forward to continuing to work with the Mississippi Department of Corrections to protect the civil rights of those incarcerated at Parchman,” states U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner for the Northern District of Mississippi.

Digga D dropped a banger of a video from his Noughty By Nature mixtape, proving he’s one of the most prolific rappers in the U.K. right now.
The West London drill rapper teased his fans with the “Alter Ego” video on Wednesday (Apr. 20) and let them know it’s been a long time coming. “5k comments I’ll drop tonight at 7pm,” he penned in the caption. “ALTER EGO😈. Finally. ITS BEEN A LONG 3 YEARS🏁” Watch the video below.
One of the leading lights in the U.K. drill scene, Digga D is proving his credentials on both sides of the Atlantic. His Noughty By Nature tape includes features from the likes of Moneybagg Yo, B Lovee, and Hotboii. He also secured the first-ever Rap Snacks deal for a U.K. rapper last month.
Digga D’s much-hyped third mixtape may prove his most popular yet. He is currently leading the race to top the U.K. album charts, which would make Noughty By Nature his first-ever U.K. No. 1 tape and his second top. 10. Made in the Pyrex reached Number 3 in 2021 and remains his highest peak to date.
.@DiggaD_CGM is coming for his first UK Number 1 album with Noughty By Nature 🔥
Before dropping the video, Digga D teased a new tour and his upcoming collaborations during an interview with MTV UK. He also discussed his use of 50 Cent samples which feature on several of the songs on his new tape.
“As I was growing up all I listened to was 50 Cent,” he said. “The way I can show that I rate him so much is by sampling his music.” When asked if Fiddy had reached out yet, Digga D hinted at the pair possibly working together. “There’s something happening soon,” he revealed.
He explained that he feels “no pressure” to chart and is currently enjoying his career, traveling the world. He then announced an upcoming tour and said his next and fourth project is likely to be another mixtape. “I want my album to be fifth” he explained.
While Digga D refused to name his upcoming features, he did hint at future transatlantic collabs. “I’m trying to connect New York drill and U.K. drill. That’s what I’m focusing on right now. They’ve got some crazy artists over there jumping on our beats,” he added.
50 Cent has been challenged by Benzino to settle their differences “mano a mano” in a celebrity boxing match.
The G Unit boss has been mocking Benzino on Instagram over his alleged relationship with a transgender woman. Clips of the former The Source magazine owner talking to Shauna Brooks surfaced online, and people began speculating that the pair were in a relationship. Benzino firmly denies having any romantic relationship with Brooks and claims the clips were edited in an effort to smear him. He said he once starred in a movie with her and the conversation occurred years ago.
However, 50 Cent took the opportunity to roast Benzino in multiple Instagram posts. Despite addressing Fiddy’s claims during a conversation with QueenzFlip, Benzino has had enough and wants to settle it in the ring.
Benzino Challenges 50 Cent To Step In The Ring
Benzino has teamed up with fight promotors, Celebrity Boxing and is calling out Fiddy to come and fight him.
On Wednesday (Apr. 20), Celebrity Boxing shared a video of Benzino signing his fight contract and calling out 50 Cent. “You wanna be a man about things, step in the ring,” he said, directly to Fif. “Because that’s where men settle they differences. F### all that internet s###. Step in the ring, mano a mano.”
After signing the contract, he raises his arms to flaunt his muscles before repeating the call to 50. “What we doin’?,” he demands.
The promotor also addressed 50 Cent, letting him know they already have a date locked in for the fight, he just needs to sign on the dotted line.
According to the caption, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Rodney “Bitcoin Rodney” will host the event scheduled for June 11.
However, it appears 50 Cent ignored the challenge and continued with his trolling campaign on Instagram. He uploaded a screenshot from Shauna Brooks’s Twitter account.
“👀There must be a lot of this going on,” he penned in the caption before tagging Benzino.
Cardi B caused some confusion amongst her followers on Wednesday night (Apr. 20) when she posted a voice note claiming that recording her new song “Shake It” was “activating demons” from her past.
In the now-deleted voice recording, Cardi B becomes emotional as she explains she never wanted to record a drill song because she knew the effect it would have.
“I’ve been having these weird feelings lately,” Cardi begins. “That’s kinda why I didn’t want to do this song, “Shake It’ or any drill song.”
She continued, “These songs are activating these demons that I killed. I don’t wanna be that girl anymore. I just wanna be a mother,” Cardi said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Belcais then claimed she did want to be “that old Cardi” anymore and that she left that “lifestyle” behind her. “I don’t wanna be that anymore and she’s coming back,” she said.
She reiterated that she wants to be a mother but “the song is activating demons that I locked away a long time ago. I don’t want to be that, I want to be a good person,” Cardi B declared before sniffling into the microphone.
While Cardi B later deleted the post, it was of course screen recorded and seen by many of her online followers before she took it down. Some responded with concern for the rapper, while others assumed she was joking.
When the Tidal attempted to give Cardi an Oscar for her acting skills via a meme of the famous gold statue, she doubled down somewhat.
Cardi fired back a meme of her own, the smiling face of influencer and comedian Radel Ortiz. “I was being deadass,” she replied.
Earlier on Wednesday, Cardi B heaped praise on one of her “Shake It” collaborators. “I’m so proud of Kay Flock!” she tweeted. “Pulling over 1.7 million views in the first day on his video as an up and coming artist is big! BX stand up!
Cardi B dropped the Bronx Drill anthem “Shake It” last week, which also features Dougie B and Bory300. Watch the video below.
Drake has been granted a three-year restraining order against the “stalker” who he claims harassed him for years.
His history with Mesha Collins dates back to at least 2017, when she was first arrested for trespassing at his Hollywood Hills residence. She also attempted to file a $4 billion defamation suit against him. Then, after that lawsuit was dismissed, Collins tried to file a restraining order against Drake.
Now, according to reports, a judge has ordered Collins to stay at least 100 yards away and stop contacting the singer and his family.
29-year-old Collins was not present at the court hearing on Tuesday (Apr. 19). However, she will be served with the order after it was determined that she was “given timely and proper notice” to explain her side of the story to the court.
“Ms. Collins is a stalker,” Drake noted in his petition. “I have no relationship whatsoever with her. I am concerned that giving notice would prompt Ms. Collins to attempt to come to my home or harm me, as her behavior is escalating from merely suing me to wishing me dead.”
However, earlier this month, his attorney filed court documents stating the harassment was continuing. He claimed Collins was not only still harassing Drake but him too, as his lawyer. According to reports, Collins threatened to “invade [Drake’s] home again” if she didn’t get her a new home and vehicle.
“Please ask him to help me get a Brand New House and Car as my birthday is on April 29th. I will have no choice but to invade his home again. Please! I Love Him and need money,” she allegedly said.
A$AP Rocky has been released from jail after being arrested on Wednesday (Apr. 21) in connection with a November shooting.
NBC News report A$AP walked out of jail within three hours of his arrest after posting bond, set at $550,000. They also claim to have received information from “multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the matter” that Rihanna was with the father of her child when he was arrested. Cops executed a search warrant at Rocky’s LA residence. A court date has been set for Aug. 17.
The pair were returning from vacation in Barbados, arriving at Los Angeles International Airport on a private jet, when A$AP Rocky was detained.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the rapper is the suspect in a November 6 shooting. They state “an argument between two acquaintances” occurred at around 10:15 p.m. The dispute escalated, and A$AP Rocky shot the victim before fleeing the scene on foot with two other men. The victim later sought treatment for a minor injury.
Following an investigation, LAPD cops arrested the rapper for assault with a deadly weapon and will be presenting the case to the District Attorney.
While A$AP is yet to make a statement, his attorney, Alan Jackson, confirmed to NBC News that his client had been arrested.
Snoop Dogg celebrated 4/20 with the premiere of his new series So Dumb It’s Criminal.
All eight episodes of Snoop Dogg’s unscripted comedy debuted on Peacock on Wednesday (April 20). The show features comedians joining the famed rapper to crack jokes about criminal blunders.
“The series invites some of today’s comedy-greats to roast the world’s dumbest criminals using a compilation of crime clips and surveillance videos,” Peacock said in a press release. “From botched robberies and car chases to failed getaway attempts and even some schemes that are so ridiculous that they border on unbelievable, each 30-minute episode will prove that the worst criminals make for the best jokes.”

The first episode of Snoop Dogg’s So Dumb It’s Criminal is available to watch for free by signing up for Peacock. A premium subscription is required to view the rest of the series.
Pooh Shiesty received his sentence for a firearms conspiracy charge on Wednesday (April 20).
According to multiplereports, U.S. District Judge Kevin Michael Moore sentenced Pooh Shiesty to 63 months in prison. Earlier this year, the 22-year-old rapper pleaded guilty to a single count of firearms conspiracy.
Judge Moore gave Pooh Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Williams, credit for a year of time served. The Atlantic Records artist could get out of prison in roughly three and a half years with good behavior.
Pooh Shiesty’s attorney Bradford Cohen spoke to Rolling Stone about his client’s outlook following the sentencing. Cohen said they were pleased with how the case turned out, relatively speaking.
“Listen, nobody’s happy to go to prison, but he was happy the judge listened to our argument, and the judge received the argument well,” the lawyer told Rolling Stone. “He was satisfied with the outcome. We’re happy with the decision of the court.”
Pooh Shiesty was originally indicted on multiple charges stemming from an October 2020 shooting at a hotel in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida.
Prosecutors dropped three charges when he agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to possess a firearm in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes. The plea deal allowed him to avoid a gun charge with a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Rapper Lil’ Wayne has settled a lawsuit filed by a white club bouncer who claimed race was a motivating factor in getting beat down by the artist and his entourage.
According to The Blast, the Billboard chart-topper has made an undisclosed settlement with Andrew Nunemacher, a security guard at a Los Angeles nightclub called “Hyde,” who claimed Wayne and his entourage beat him up based on the color of his skin.
Nunemacher claimed it was “racially motivated” because someone yelled “F##k you, white boy!” before he was assaulted. He filed his lawsuit under California’s ‘Unruh Civil Rights Act’ on the basis of his “Caucasian ancestry and descent.”
Earlier this year, the man’s lawyers needed to get a judge to make the New Orleans native come in and give a deposition.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jon R. Takasugi allowed Nunemacher’s attorneys to depose the “Lollipop” rapper for an additional allotment of two hours before legal proceedings started after lawyers noted in court papers that Lil’ Wayne’s behavior in their November deposition was “beyond extreme.”
The claim alleges that the artist “took pride in his refusals to answer fundamental questions during the first deposition while his attorneys sat back and made inappropriate and frivolous objections, encouraging a display that mocks the civil process.”
Reports said he left the virtual deposition after only a couple of hours. According to the court papers, he “abruptly exited the Zoom for the second time and did not return.”
As of this week, the two parties have settled, and it is unclear if this is a monetary agreement.
The legal document says, “The settlement agreement conditions dismissal of this matter on the satisfactory completion of specified terms that are not be performed within 45 days of the date of the settlement.”
Tekashi 6ix9ine continued to troll Fivio Foreign via social media on Wednesday (April 20).
The controversial rapper’s latest taunting included accusations about Fivio Foreign being aligned with cops. 6ix9ine shared a screenshot of a video supposedly showing his foe with the police on Instagram.
“Look at the Tekashi hate train ignore this,” he wrote. “You King of NY but with police. This boy really roll around with SWAT team.”
Earlier in the day, 6ix9ine boasted about his YouTube views. He pointed out how quickly his “GINE” video reached 1.3 million views compared to Nicki Minaj’s “We Go Up” video, which features Fivio Foreign.
“Its never about numbers until they do better than you then its ‘look at my numbers, look at my chart positions, look look look,’” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “And its crazy because Im doing that blackballed!! They have all the help and more radio + editorial + playlisting. Anyway @fivioforeign_8fs SMD with ya mothers lips. I put names on it no subliminals.”
6ix9ine began beefing with Fivio Foreign over the “King of New York” title. Fivio Foreign avoided mentioning 6ix9ine by name but addressed their feud in a recent post on Instagram Stories.
“And this is why I don’t respond to these lame-ass weirdo clout [chasing] n#####,” he wrote. “[You] could buy [YouTube views] but you [can’t] buy chart positions. Everything this kid [has] ever said has been [a] lie and everything [else] is [gonna be] a lie. I apologize to the real 1’s out there [that’s] mad I’m entertaining this s### but fans must [know].”

A public memorial service for DJ Kay Slay will be held at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem on Sunday (April 24).
The ceremony begins at 10 a.m. local time and concludes at noon. A car procession with a horse and carriage march down 125th street will also take place before heading to East Harlem.

It has a different spin on it. As the leader of Apexhustler Media, he is on his way to be considered as one of the greats! His unorthodox style sets him at the epicenter of what is happening at the forefront of Hip Hop & Music today. His current themes are refreshing as they are more about love, life and ambition, rather than just the drugs, sex and Rock n Roll inundating the airwaves. Oshay can touch any topic and also produces the majority of his work. He has a crew of young producers, engineers, videographers and artists that move as a unit and are changing the game!
Although he’s always wanted his music to touch his fan base, Oshay had to mature a bit more before getting his shot. As the years have gone by his mindset has changed. The single, “Pardon Me” off his first project, Battleborn (2018) was meant to be his breakout hit but when it missed the charts and radio he kept working and evolving as an all around artist.
He doesn’t have only one sound. His music channels many genres and walks of life for him to be so young. Now, he is about to release the beginnings of his tidal wave of music! His single, “Better Left Unsaid” has been premiered by DJ Drewski on Hot 97 and promises for the next level of his musicianship. Keep and eye and an ear out for this one! He’s here to stay!

This is only the first of many encounters and affiliations between Oshay The Villain and Code31 to come. It was a pleasure.
Actor Angela Lewis talks to AllHipHop’s Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur about everything in her recent life. But, for the moment, the most important thing is the season finale of “Snowfall,” the hit show on FX that chronicles the insidious drug trade that decimated Black and Brown communities in the 80s.
Angela plays “Aunt Louie,” a drug queenpin that has grown considerably since the show debuted in 2017. In this exclusive conversation, the bases get covered. The Detroit native explains how her background has helped her navigate a character in such a gritty, yet elegant, manner. She also talks about “Aunt Louie” and her role in the pantheon of gangster leads. On the lighter side, she addresses Damson Idris’s perfectly coifed 80s ‘fro, which Chuck takes exception on.
AllHipHop: Definitely. First of all, I got to ask you, how you feeling about this new season? A lot of new developments, especially for Louie, your character. How you feeling?
Angela Lewis: I feel good. Louie is very layered these days. I mean, she’s always been layered, but it’s nice that people get to see all of her layers and we get to tease it out even more. So I’m really excited, I’m happy that people are talking about her. It’s love and hate at the same time, and I’ll take that.
AllHipHop: Well, she’s making those power moves. You can’t be boss without crossing a few people.
Angela Lewis: That’s right, and that’s okay.
AllHipHop: Absolutely. The series finale is right here, how are fans receiving it in your eyes? I mean, it’s a lot of anticipation. In fact, I wish we could have did this after so we could really talk about it.
Angela Lewis: People are very excited. Everybody’s got their thoughts on what’s going to happen, how everything is going to go down. So it’s been really fun reading people’s predictions. It’s been a lot of fun.
AllHipHop: The last episode had me tripping. I was actually tripping (it deals with LSD). I was like, “What is going on here?” Now, we’ve seen our share of Black people, this type of narrative, the drug game. But this feels different. It’s obviously a family affair, but it also feels different in a number of ways.
What are your thoughts on that? And why don’t we get tired of it, and especially with “Snowfall”?
Angela Lewis: Yeah. I think one of the things that’s important about “Snowfall” is to remember that we are talking about something that really happened. We are talking about how… Hello. We are talking about how the government was involved in the plague on our community. And we never stray too far from that in terms of our storytelling.
And we are always trying to sprinkle in real life situations, real life realities of the time. And we never let Franklin and the family forget what they have been a part of, what has happened to the people, to the family, to the neighborhood, to the larger community. And especially the community that they started in, that they’re from, this is what is happening.
And as long as we have that humanity component, I think that’s what keeps people coming back. There’s the shootouts and all the exciting things that happen that keep you jumping and screaming at the TV, but the humanity part, the family part, that’s what keeps people coming back.
AllHipHop:Absolutely. Women in history or historically in Hollywood, have been regulated to the love interest or the voice of reason, a number of different things. Thinking “Menace II Society,” so on and so forth. Your character is definitely an exception to the general rule. Where would you place her in the history books of Hollywood and TV?
Angela Lewis: Oh man, I don’t know. I feel like I leave the legacy part for other people and for after. I just try to stay in the moment and I try to bring my A-game, and I try to bring as much humanity and layers and complications to Louie as I possibly can. And if that makes her stand out, if that puts her in the history books, that’s icing on the cake. And that makes me feel good to hear you say that and to hear other people say that.
But I think if I get caught up in how she’s going to be historic, then it’ll start getting corny. It’ll start getting weird. I can’t worry about that. I just try to bring the truth and I try to bring my whole self and her whole self to the character and to the moments.
AllHipHop: So I have one critique of Snowfall. I have one problem. You know what it is?
Angela Lewis: What?
AllHipHop: Damson’s hairline. His hairline be perfect. It’s like they got the T-liner from 2025 (the future), because I’m like, “How’s this man’s hair like this?” Back in the ’80, we was mad peasy. It wasn’t sharp like that. I Googled every picture from West Coast, Los Angeles, I could find. I could not find nobody whose hair was lined up.
Angela Lewis: That’s funny. I don’t know if Damson’s going out like that though. They all say he got appeal to the ladies.
AllHipHop: And that, he is.
The season finale of Snowfall airs tonight on FX. Check local listings for time.
