Show # 230 - A New Standard

The crew talked about some new revelations in the trending news for this week.  One thing about LisaRaye is if you ask, she will answer and keep it all the way real! In a recent episode of Garcelle Beauvais’ podcast ‘Going To Bed With Garcelle’, LisaRaye explains why Will Smith is her type. “He’s so charming, he’s rich, he’s poetic, he’s a philanthropist, he’s a humanitarian,” she said. Thoughts? Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" breaks YouTube record for biggest first week U.S. debut. "WAP" already holds the record for most YouTube views for a female collaboration in its first 24 hours on the platform. The song's music video broke the record for the biggest first-week debut on YouTube in the United States by collecting 56.4 million views in its first 7 days. "WAP" surpassed 6ix9ine's "GOOBA" (51.5 million) and Eminem's "Killshot" (50.1 million). The ladies are definitely taking over! Rapper, “Common” has unveiled the series "Com&Well" on his YouTube channel in order to offer fans self-care and mental health wellness advice. The six-episode series, which is filmed in his home using conferencing sites like Skype and Zoom, features conversations with his personal health and wellness teams. The star will also detail his own wellness practices, including his work-outs and hobbies. The show will debut today (August 18th). Warner Bros. is set to release a sequel to the classic 1996 live-action/animated film Space Jam. The original movie starred NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Space Jam: A New Legacy will be led by fellow basketball legend LeBron James. James will play himself in the movie which is tentatively scheduled to be released in July 2021. Tip "T.I." Harris took it upon himself to address Lloyd's of London's historical ties to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The entertainer/businessman wrote a two-page open letter to the 334-year-old insurance market in July. T.I. listed four demands in his letter. He called on Lloyd's to give 10% of its ownership to descendants of African slaves, ensure at least one member of its board be an African-American, conduct accurate annual tracking of reparations, and provide $1 million cash loan with 1% interest to every adult African-American in their lifetime for the next 200 years. I completely agree!! “The Breakfast Club” is finally receiving the honor of being inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame just a few months shy of their 10-year anniversary on-air. The Breakfast Club also joins fellow 2020 Radio Hall Of Fame inductees Angie Martinez and Sway Calloway.  For the "HOT TAKE" topic this week the crew discussed 'have you dated men who wouldn't give you compliments?'
