BET AWARDS 2017 - GREATEST SHOW On EARTH On ROLLING OUT MAG!!!

SUMMER 2001; BET decides to embark on something new!!!

Prior to that time, the network had built a substantial reputation for highlighting Black music videos on shows such as “Rap City” and “Video Soul”; giving comedians a platform on the stand-up comedy show, “ComicView”; and providing a weekly town hall for teens and young adults on the show, “Teen Summit.” But the cable station rarely featured live content that truly highlighted Black entertainment.

At the time, MTV’s VMAs; Billboard Music Awards; American Music Awards; and the Grammy Awards were all viewed as the gold standards for award ceremonies. The Soul Train Awards and NAACP Awards both gave a voice to Black culture, but there was still room to present all aspects of Black entertainment on a larger platform. Enter the BET Awards.

In 2001, the inaugural BET Awards took place at the Paris resort in Las Vegas. Hosted by Steve Harvey and Cedric The Entertainer, the show featured performances by Jay-Z, Usher and Bow Wow. Award winners included OutKast, Destiny’s Child, Sanaa Lathan, Nelly, and Allen Iverson.

Get the FULL 4-1-1 on HOW The BET AWARDS BECAME The GREATEST SHOW On EARTH from the new issue of ROLLING OUT Magazine.

It feels even better the next day! So blessed and grateful for this recognition. For me, this award proves that you can out work all of the critics, coaches and scouts that said you'll never make it to the next level. You can achieve anything when you put the work in and have unwavering faith in yourself and God. My family has been right here with me way before any awards or drafts and I wouldn't have made it this far without them. Thank you all so much. This was a great end to an awesome rookie year and I'm ready to see what next season's got because I'm not done working!

5 VINTAGE CONVERTIBLES YOU CAN SCORE For UNDER $10,000 On GQ MAG!!!

1985 - 87 BUICK RIVIERA


SUMMER has finally arrived, and; you have been saying (even if only saying to yourself) that this is the year that YOU go out and purchase a CONVERTIBLE CAR!!!

Well... according to GQ Magazine, THERE Is ONLY ONE REASON To BUY A CONVERTIBLE CAR, yet; the same folks at GQ have taken your exquisite taste and discerning budget into consideration and found these 5 VINTAGE CONVERTIBLES YOU CAN SCORE For UNDER $10,000:


BUICK RIVIERA:

In every generation, starting in the mid-60s, the Riv exemplified the moment. So, yes—this means that in the mid-80s, it was a fake wire-wheeled boulevardier for divorced suburban lawyers, available only in maroon and white, with a puckered white leather interior. It valued comfort over all else, including parkability (avoid if you live in New York) and fuel efficiency (doubly avoid if your other car is a Prius)




1978 - 82 CORVETTE STINGRAY

Technically T-tops are not convertible tops. Realistically, they're much, much worse: heavy, mirrored glass panels that are pains to remove, leak when they're in place, and prone to shattering just sitting in the garage. But T-tops do let you pound the roof to your yacht rock—or Lil Yachty—playlist of choice. And they're exactly why the 'Vette of this era is a louche rolling erection of a car; a joke you're already in on. These late model “soft nose” models, with their wheezy engines and chintzy plastic bumpers, are, somehow, the best investment opportunities.





1968 - 85 FIAT 124 SPIDER

Yeah, we've heard all the joke about how FIAT stands for "Fix It Again Tony." And like all jokes, this one's rooted in truth: out of the 170,000 124 Spiders sold in America during its nearly twenty year run, only about 8,000 are still on the road now. The good news is that those 8,000 have demonstrated a rare Darwinian ability to survive (and have probably been babied).





1992 - 95 MERCEDES - BENZ 300CE/ E320

Every elegant gentleman wants a MERCEDES-BENZ 560 SL. That’s why they’re skyrocketing in price, with the pristine ones hitting $20,000—on up to wait-how-much sticker prices. This early-90s droptop is your starter-Benz substitute. Same rhino-on-wheels solidness, same same right-angle-loving styling, but it has room for four and a driving experience like a buttered shipping container gliding effortlessly down a talcum powder mountain. Nothing says classy like gliding.





1969 - 70 MERCURY COUGAR

First-generation Mustangs, like pictures of Paul Newman in a white t-shirt, are now equal parts iconic and cliché. The Cougar was the more luxurious—and to our eyes, better-looking—muscle car in the family. (This was back when Mercury was Ford's rich-guy brand, and not its dearly-departed denture-set brand.) With their menacing baleen grilles, hidden headlamps, and aggressively elegant profiles, the late-60s Cougars do handsome without also doing try-hard.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW 2017 - VINCE YOUNG On SPORTS ILLUSTRATED MAG!!!

Former NFL QB VINCE INVINCEABLE YOUNG covers the 2017 WHERE ARE THEY NOW Issue of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Magazine!!!

Here are some interview interludes:

On him embarking upon this adventure with the CFL:

“This is to finish my career on my note. Before, the NFL shut me down. Teams shut me down. Owners shut me down. I didn’t stop because I wanted to. Now, I can’t blame anyone but me.”

On the impact of what is now referred to as "The SUICIDE INCIDENT":

VINCE describes speaking with the Suicide Negotiator:

“He’s talking all slowly,” the QB recalls, “like: ‘Mr. Young . . . are you . . . O.K.? Do you . . . feel like . . . hurting yourself?’ ”

“I’m like, Dude, quit talking to me! And I’m looking at Fisher like, You can stop all this, all the suicidal talk. He’s sitting there, saying nothing. I feel like he was just laughing at that s---. The [TV] cameraman hiding in the woods—it all felt like a big setup. And now I gotta walk through the airport as the Suicidal Guy for the rest of my life.”

On Golfer TIGER WOODS' recent arrest for SUSPICION of DUI, which later turned out to be an adverse reaction to PRESCRIPTION PAINKILLERS:

“Tiger made a mistake,” he says. “How can anyone say they know what he’s going through? He’s probably f------ down [that] he can’t play golf. But [the media] wants to make an example out of him. Judges, lawyers, all kinds of people get DWIs.”

On having enjoyed his brief time with the SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS:

“I was having a blast,” he says. “A lot of people don’t understand: The best part of sports is the camaraderie. I’m blessed I was able to be around those guys.”
