Elfen’s TBT Old School 1994 R&B Jamie Foxx Peep This
Well since Jamie Foxx hosted the 2018 WACK BET Awards. I decided to go Apple iTunes and listen to his music and I remembered this sexy song. And music video he sang called experiment. At the time of this album he was clownin’ on In Living Color. All 13 tracks have that New jack swing vibe. (a mixture of R&B and Hip Hop sounds) Jamie’s live performances are so hypnotically beautiful. And piano playing always makes me tearie eyed.
The older I get I appreciate these now old artists even more. They could sang a love song without all the profanities and in your face lyrics that could NEVER be considered as elevator music. Or even played in the doctors office waiting for your appointment. Sigh the good ol’ days. See you next week for my TBT Ol’ Skool R&B pick of the week!

BLAC CHYNA SPLITS WITH BOYFRIEND YBN ALMIGHTY JAY
Who thought this was gonna last? (I mean that sarcastically )
Blac Chyna and her significantly younger boyfriend, YBN Almighty Jay, are no more … at least according to YBN.
The 18-year-old just announced he and 30-year-old Chyna are no longer together after several months of dating. YBN doesn’t get into specifics, but it’s been a couple weeks since we’ve seen the two hanging out.
As we reported — the two started officially dating back in March — and enjoyed some pretty PG date nights … including one at the bowling alley.

Dr Dre to make Marvin Gaye biopic with rights to singer’s catalogue
The rapper, whose film credits include Straight Outta Compton, has the singer’s family estate’s blessing to produce the biopic
The rapper and business mogul Dr Dre is working on a movie about the Motown legend Marvin Gaye, who died in 1984 after being shot by his father.
Dr Dre, founder of Beats Electronics and one of the four original members of the rap group NWA, served as a producer for the Oscar-nominated film Straight Outta Compton, which told NWA’s origin story in southern California. According to Variety, he’s secured the rights to Gaye’s musical catalogue, which includes hits such as What’s Going On and Sexual Healing, and the approval of the Gaye family estate.
The biopic will not mark the first time someone has attempted to dramatize Gaye’s life on-screen. In 2016, the singer’s estate approved of a limited series starring Jamie Foxx, the first such project to receive the family’s blessing after attempts were made by industry heavyweights such as Cameron Crowe, James Gandolfini and Scott Rudin to produce his life story. Additionally, a documentary about Gaye’s life featuring never-before-seen footage, What’s Going On, was slated to go be released in 2017 but remains in development.
“This project will be a powerful and definitive telling of Marvin Gaye’s life story,” said Gaye’s son, Marvin Gaye III, about the Foxx-produced series at the time.
While the status of the limited series is unclear, Dr Dre is moving ahead with his first feature film since Compton, which grossed over $200m worldwide and was nominated for best original screenplay at the 2016 Academy Awards. The rapper and producer, whose real name is Andre Young, was a subject of the 2017 HBO docu-series The Defiant Ones, in which he can be seen mixing a version of the Gaye classic I Want You.

Chadwick Boseman Gives His MTV Movie ‘Best Hero’ Award To Waffle House Shooting Hero James Shaw Jr.
Yes, this is my King 😉
Our favorite superhero Chadwick Boseman gave his MTV Movie and TV Award to a real-life hero.
During his acceptance speech, Boseman thanked his fans for the honor but decided the popcorn statue should have another home.
“Receiving an award for playing a superhero is amazing, but it’s even greater to acknowledge the heroes that we have in real life,” Boseman said. “So I just want to acknowledge somebody that’s here today. James Shaw Jr. Where are you? Stand. If you don’t know James Shaw Jr., he fought off a gunman in Antioch, Tennessee at a Waffle House. He saved lives. Come on up here.”
The surprised Shaw took the stage, and Boseman handed him the award.
“This is gonna live at your house,” he said as the crowd cheered.
Shaw is widely considered a hero for fighting the gunman who shot up a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, in April. After news of his actions broke, Shaw admitted to having conflicting feelings about being called a hero. He later raised $90,000 for the shooting victims’ families.
“I’m not a hero,” Shaw said days after the shooting. “I’m just a regular person. I think anybody could have did what I did if they’re pushed. You have to either react or fall. I chose to react because I didn’t see any other way to live.”
Check out the exchange below:

HBO Film Storm Over Brooklyn to Document Murder of Black Teen Yusuf Hawkins
If you think police brutality is something new it’s not.
As part of a new initiative to promote diversity, HBO will tell the story of Yusuf Hawkins in the film Storm Over Brooklyn. Hawkins was the black teenager who was trapped by a group of white youths in Bensonhurst, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, and shot to death in 1989.
Actor and cinematographer Muta’Ali will explore the crime and how it led to marches and protests as well as the election of David Dinkins as mayor of New York City. He remains the city’s first and only African-American mayor.
“Yusuf Hawkins’ murder had a major effect on the public, and the locked away regret and sorrow questions a history that those involved have held on to for nearly 30 years,” Muta’Ali said in a press release. “We will finally see the light of day in the context of our time.”
The idea for the documentary was the inaugural winner of a feature-documentary-development initiative created by LA 92 producer Lightbox and the American Black Film Festival.
