{Personal Post} PHOTOS/VIDEOS: Beyoncé RENAISSANCE World Tour - Toronto

Earlier this month, we headed up to Toronto, Ontario Canada for Beyoncé!  Yes baby, our Renaissance World Tour concert date finally arrived.  A TIME was had.  This was my 4th time seeing Beyoncé live.  The production on this show was mind blowing.  Worth EVERY penny and more.  I documented it, of course, to share :)  Below are compilation video(s) AND photos that I captured of Day 2 at the Renaissance World Tour in Toronto.  Still in awe.

Take a vicarious journey.  Follow me.....

{Watch} ASAP Rocky Highlights Fatherhood in New Beats by Dre Commercial + New Music Video "RIOT (ROWDY PIPE'N)"

The footage circulating a few weeks ago of Rocky randomly running in Timberland boots with those dressed alike now makes sense.  He was not only starring in, but directing a commercial.  A Beats by Dre commercial for the latest Beats Studio Pro headphones.

"Bae!  We ran out of diapers" yells Rihanna from another room.  Rocky then goes on a diaper run... literally.  You will not only see Beats product placements throughout, but Rocky's AWGE and ASAP trademark as well.  Speaking of marketing, little RZA is so cute being the face of the diaper brand.  It's all good until Rihanna has one more request for Rocky at the end...

On the flip side, Rocky released his last studio album in 2018 and is now back with new music and a new video.  The video spills over from the commercial with the same alike dressed going to riot.  He, also, throws in a quick promo for Rihanna's new product.  Catch both the commercial and the RIOT (ROWDY PIPE'N) video after the jump!

{Trailer} SHOWTIME presents an Original Documentary... "All Up in the Biz: The Life and Rhymes of Biz Markie"

Most people don’t know that he used those powers to power up some of the culture’s greatest poets and then some. I was fortunate to meet with Biz when he was alive so to have the opportunity to bring him back to life now that he isn’t here…it’s a special film.

-Sacha Jenkins

A closer look into the life, career, and impact of the iconic, Biz Markie.  Directed by Sacha Jenkins, 'All Up in The Biz' will feature exclusive footage, interviews/guest appearances (from DMC, Fat Joe, Tracy Morgan, Nick Cannon etc.) and Puppetry.  These are all important working parts to bring the story together.  SHOWTIME has delivered some exceptional documentaries.  Teddy Pendergrass, Rick James, Wu-Tang, and Hector Camacho (I feel I'm missing one) were all wonderfully done.  I expect the same for this one.  Watch the trailer after the jump!
