Who Is The Smartest Rapper?

At one time i would have named Will Smith, er, Fresh Prince, Queen Latifah, Jay Z or even Ice Cube. But after recent events, I’m going with 50 Cent. Despite the arrogance he displays at times, you can’t deny that this man can and has capitalized off every situation (That we know of) that he [...]

Are Akon and T-Pain smoking dope?

OK, I am hearing T-Pain bitch about everyone using the Auto-Tune (Used mostly by people who have no real vocal skills) and not crediting him with starting a trend his ugly ass ain’t even start!

It Needs To Be CED: The Struggle is NOT over!!!!

November 2008

It’s About Time!

October 2008

It’s about time!!!  I am halfway happy and halfway disappointed that black people are finally taking politics seriously and are way involved than in previous years.  I have been having conversations with people (over the last year) that are actually, for the first time, enthusiastic about voting in this presidential election.
