A post about relationships that I inspired…So you can be inspired…

In all my non-active bloggerness, I neglected to make mention of the fact that my favorite couple started a relationship blog dealing with all things marital and united. Starrene and Anslem Rocque chronicle their journey and do their best to share their youthful insight weekly on their aptly named site, The Lovers Rocque. Last month [...]

Sh!t Rappers DON’T Say!! – By yours truly and Kompel

I didn’t want to do it. But before this whole viraal copycat craze that will surely end up in someone’s 2012 recap boils over and makes people hate the word “shit”, I had to add my 2 cents in on something I know VERY well. This time the boy Kompel(or Komp’L) and I put our [...]

Groper gets Shot in Harlem, VA Tech gets shot up again, and Mumia gets closer to Free!

These are the things that happen in my hood. So on my way to work today, I was dropping off my evil twin, Bobby at the 125th street train station, only to be held up in ridiculous traffic and have him return to the car telling me that the dozen of officers who were blocking [...]

My Favorite Couple…

Okay. On a brighter note… Check out one of my ace homies Starrene GangStarrGirl Rhett and her boo, the infamous Anslem Samuel in their engagement spread on Essence.com http://www.essence.com/2011/11/30/just-engaged-starr-and-anslem/ That was a great look for Essence, highlighting Black Love in the now. These 2 are definitely 2 of the coolest to be around, and their [...]

New Documentary focuses on Risky life of AIDS afflicted Howard Grad

About 5 years ago, I had the misfortune of learning about this awful truth via a website. On the heels of World AIDS Day yesterday, since it’s being shared damn near everywhere else by my fellow Howard University alum who are just finding out about this, it only makes sense that I post this as [...]

Promo video for “In Search Of My Father”

So my ex wrote a book. And subsequently spills her guts in this promo video for it… I’m never surprised by her accomplishments. Good job kid. For the record, I’m NOT one of those guys she mentioned. I like to think I broke the cycle…But I’ll let her tell it…

Who Run It??

TDJ’s film “The Field Trip” hits Youtube to celebrate it’s anniversary!

For my second treat (no tricks), I give you the full version of my homegirl, the infamous TDJ‘s short film, The Field Trip. 2 years ago, she released this and it entered a dozen different film festivals – even earning her a write-up in a few magazines. Today she commemorates the accomplishment by releasing it [...]

16 Reasons Why I’m The Greatest Rapper You Never Heard! Or 16 Reasons Why I’m Better Than The Last 3 Freshman Classes!!

16. I’m relatively handsome We can all attest that looks don’t matter half as much as the industry would have you believe. IF they matter at all. The success of some of the biggest rappers in the last 2 decades has hinged more on their personas and characters than their sex appeal. Rappers tend to find [...]

The Industry just got smaller. Labels are Disappearing. Jive, Arista & J records join that list

What makes this ironic, is that I was just at a meeting 2 weeks ago with an A&R in the grand offices of Jive records (which I always thought was a telling name for a label). As I looked around the hallowed walls of the offices in the Sony entertainment building, although this was my [...]
