BlocBoy JB knew he was coming to Atlanta to meet Big Boi at Stankonia Studios, but the Memphis upstart didn’t realize this was no ordinary studio. Originally owned by R&B star Bobby Brown, the space is where Big and fellow OutKast member Andre 3000 recorded several of their classic albums. Here's a brief convo between the new school and old school of the South.

Going to theaters in 2018 has been an interesting endeavor. Black superheroes have ruled the box office, only to be snapped into the ether by huge, purple Titans. One of the creepiest films of the year is drenched in ASL, and teens dealing with their own sexuality have a truly inspiring coming out tale. It's time to put these films into proper perspective. Let's take a look at the Best Movies of 2018 (so far). Grab your popcorn; it's going to be a wild one.

Some years, you almost wish TV was more trash. With so many outlets, networks, and streaming services bringing that raw, uncut Peak TV to us on a steady basis, there's truly no lulls in your TV watching. Here's the best shows of 2018 so far.

Loving a television show comes down to a number of factors: dope writing, beautiful visuals and, most importantly, dope performances. An amazing acting job can elevate even the weakest script (at times), and this year, we've been hit with a dumb amount of great performances from characters we've never seen on-screen before. Here are the best of the best (so far).

Rocky’s expanded his reach and influence through fashion, film, and directing, among other ventures, but the music is what propels his compelling narrative forward. He’s got an impressive catalog to back up his status as one of the brightest stars of this generation. On the heels of his latest release Testing, these are ASAP Rocky’s best songs.

After seeing the finished product, I have no doubt that Deadpool 2 will dominate the box office but really it’s a question of whether it should.

No matter how much Deadpool, which dropped in February 2016, proved that blockbusters were no longer relegated to the months between June and August, the summer of 2018 is different. Summer movie season is upon us now, here are the best of the best.

There's no doubt about it: Nicki Minaj is a star. But let’s say some folks are still on the fence about the illuminating wattage of her star power. All you have to do is check her lyrical resume.

With 19 MCU films now in our rearview, it's high time we started arguing to see how these titanic movies stack up against each other. Consider it a civil war, and after the smoke cleared, this is what was left. Here’s a ranking of the best (and the worst) of the universe Marvel Studios built.

Despite being one of the biggest mainstream successes in recent rap history, Drake is no stranger to haters, who long to bring him down once and for all: he’s too sensitive, he’s played out, his Caribbean accent sucks (Okay, that one is kind of fair). The ghostwriting accusations didn’t help, and have made critics even more quick to downplay Drake’s success, and even more reluctant to give credit where credit is due.

Atlanta continues to produce some of the biggest acts in rap these days, and Migos are at the forefront of the latest crop of artists shining. Consisting of Quavo, Offset, and Takeoff, the ATL trio started off feeding the streets, and before long gained traction on the mainstream level while still staying true to their trap roots.

You oftentimes hear the phrase "your favorite rapper's favorite rapper" thrown around loosely, but in Pusha T's case the description is appropriate. The Virginia Beach representative,​ who initially built his rep brick by brick, switched to raps around the turn of the millennium and has since mastered the craft, earning the respect of his big homies, contemporaries, and up-and-comers in the process.

After making a splash in Jordan Peele's 'Get Out,' Lil Rel Howery has been seen on HBO's 'Insecure,' 'The Carmichael Show,' and Jay Z's 'Moonlight' video. Now the Chicago comedian is set to star alongside Kyrie Irving in his first leading role as well as his own TV show. Lil Rel is doing big things.

For those who don’t know, about six months ago I began the process of being considered as a living kidney donor for my friend Kevin. To be honest, I’m not sure how to feel.

It's never too early to look at what movies are getting released in theaters (and on streaming services) in 2018, right? Here's our picks for the pics worth the price of admission and all the hype attached.

Both Atlanta and Legion have highly-anticipated sophomore seasons hitting FX, while Netflix has already got us hype for the second season of Jessica Jones. And those are just the ones on the tip of our tongue; there are a grip of new shows set to hit the astounding number of channels and streaming services out there.

This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. In damn near every sector of pop culture, politics, food... hell, even the holidays were full of some BS. That said, as we run down all of the "bests" from the last 12 months, it's only right that we take moment to look back at the people who made this year the absolute worst.

An annual reflection on lessons learned as I count down to my 41st birthday.

A show reaching its 100th episode can be a gift and a curse. On one hand, hitting this milestone is proof that the writers and actors have created characters that resonate with a mass audience. On the other hand, when you produce that much quantity over the course of several years it’s hard to consistently maintain the quality. The Walking Dead finds itself at this crossroad with its 100th episode, “Mercy,” which also serves as the premiere of the AMC hit’s pivotal eighth season.
