Lil Herb: I'm Cool w/ White Crowd Saying the N-Word at My Shows

VladTV ran down a host of current events during a recent sit down with Chicago emcee Lil Herb, including Bree Newsome, who personally removed the Confederate flag from South Carolina's state house flagpole. The "I'm Rollin" rapper said that Newsome's actions were courageous, but Herb believes there are more serious issues like senseless killings of children and grandmothers in Chicago that aren't being widely reported.

The next topic that was approached was former Spokane NAACP president Rachel Dolezal, whom Herb wasn't as familiar with. After being told that Dolezal pretended to be Black and spoke about prejudices she received, Lil Herb was blown away by the story.

The conversation ended with the Chicago spitter sharing his thoughts on Tom Hanks' son Chet Haze defending his use of the n-word as a White person. After hearing the actor's son say, "it's an unspoken thing between friends who understand each other," Herb said that he might have a point after recalling his white friend possibly using the word around him.

Herb later clarifies that as long as a stranger isn't using the word with malicious intent, he doesn't see a huge problem with the usage. When asked about White people singing along to the n-words in his songs at shows, the Chicago spitter said that he doesn't have a problem with it.

He explained, "That's why I make music, for people to embrace it. I'm not racist, I'm an artist."

Didn't plan on selling it Kuz of label problems. It's a dope album. Got a lot of great feedback and millions of streams."

Lakers Fire Head Coach Mike Brown After Horrible Season Start

Unfortunately for the now former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Mike Brown, has officially faced the music and been fired from his head coaching position. According to sources who reached out to ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne, Brown's job was walking the plank looking out onto treacherous waters below after a more than disappointing 1-4 start to the Lakers season, which is the worst in the Western Conference. Two potential candidates are being offered the head coaching spot on an interim basis according to the source; assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person. Brown has to be stressed, but at the end of the day, anyone who knows basketball knows the deal. If the coach isn't helping the team produce winning results, then he has to go. The Lakers are sporting an incredibly expensive payroll as well which is just over $100 million as they have (on paper at least) a monstrous lineup of quality talent in Kobe Bryant (who is battling a foot injury), ...
