Sadly, Drake won't be responding to Pusha T....allegedly. Reason being is apparently, J. Prince, told him to squash the beef because Pusha had crossed the line.

2 things:
1. There are no lines in a rap battle. None. Everything is fair game. The second Push fired back, then of course the Drake stans talking about how family members should be left out of it. Drake was the first one to mention Pusha's fiancee, so there's that.
2. J. Prince is apparently close to Drake, so obviously he's siding with him. It's almost like an uncle telling his nephew to not get into a fight because he realizes that his nephew is about to get curb-stomped. Pretty funny.

RIP Aubrey. Good riddance

Anyone watch foreign flicks on Amazon Video/Netflix? Amazon has a ton of stuff from my neck of the woods, including some really good thrillers. If anyone ever needs a recommendation...

I need a bunch of recs. I have nothing to watch. I'll take anything but my favorite genres are sci-fi/horror.

All of these movies are subbed... So here's a few on Amazon:

1. Dhruvangal Pathinaaru (also known as D16): Murder mystery which keeps you guessing till the end
2. Maanagaram:https://www.amazon.com/Maanagaram-Sundeep-Kishan/dp/B071NTN1SS
3. Thuparivaalan: Sherlock Holmes-esque Detective tale

These are just to get you started. Like most Indian movies, they have over-the-top elements, but if you are interested in watching something from across the globe, it's a pretty decent place to start

Nice. I'll get back to you after I watch.

On my docket once current seasons are completed: Westworld, Handmaid's Tale, Arrested Development. Then I think Luke Cage is coming out this month.

Loved Revenge. How much of a smoke show is that chick? Lol.

Not feeling season 2 of Westworld. Painful. Can’t wait for Cage. If you haven’t seen it, Billions is a must.

I love Westworld. Definitely not as amazing as season one but I've only felt one episode was a dud.

I did a minor acting gig as an extra in Philly last year. A bunch of the guys in the waiting room with me had been on Billions multiple times as extras, haha.

Didn't realize Luke Cage is back again. Villian choice should be interesting.

Maybe it’s because the narrative changed so dramatically that I’ve had trouble adapting. I haven’t seen the last few because I was ready to throw in the towel. I’ll get caught back up and see if I enjoy it more.

Very cool on the extra gig. Did that years ago too. Meet Joe Black. Lol.

Yeah. Cage is my favorite of the group. After him it’s Castle. I just Love that old school 70’s vibe Cage has going on. And he’s a way more charismatic actor then the rest of the group. Constable probably knows the villain.

Punisher was my favourite Marvel Netflix show. Jon Bernthal was phenomenal as Frank Castle. The Villain in Luke Cage is Bushmaster.

I like season 1, but it fell off drastically after you know who died.

What do y'all think of Bryson Tiller, Tory Lanez and the "trapsoul" genre? A lot of the beats they get are so damn dope.

Awesome show. An ex of mine from Baltimore was taught by Bubbles and was childhood friends with Kima's real life daughter (made a certain sex scene in season one quite awkward for us lol).

Taking personal bias out of the equation, its probably the best television show ever.

Bery cool. Bubbles is great BTW. Flying through season 2.....just keeps getting better. Cast - mostly unknowns at the time - is amazing.

Have you ever watched original Westworld movie? One of best sci-fi movies when I was a kid ( there were so few back then ) Stars Josh ‘Thanos’ Brolin’s dad.

Bernthal is awesome. Walking Dead nosedived the second he was written off the show

Currently on season 4 finale of Line of Duty. Compelling TV if you're into crime drama. Like the early seasons of Spooks/MI-5 (miss you, Jo Portman!) and Luther. Thandie Newton is in season 4.

Kate Spade, Avicii, Chester Bennington and now this.

As someone who has personally struggled with depression and suicide: if you are having these feelings, please seek help or tell a family member or friend. Leaving early is not worth it (unless you have a terminal illness) and hurts a lot of people around you.

Can't get the Parts Unknown theme song out of my head now. That's too bad about Bourdain. In a way, it was shocking, but at the same time, it wasn't. There was always an underlying sadness within him. Damn.
