  • On "Compton", Dr. Dre, and Still Loving NWA More Than I Probably Should

    Let me put it out there upfront N.W.A. is my favorite rap group of all time. I will sing the praises of Eazy, Ren, Dre, and Cube (plus DJ Yella) until the cows come home. Except, there’s an asterisk on that last sentence. Because there has to be. But we’ll put a pin in that.…

  • Saginawesome In Saginaw, Part III

    (This part is going to be mad shorter. I’ve run out of steam and real talk, the last day was the wedding. And honestly, I’m only really tallying all of the drinking that was done, for historical purposes.) Back up at 9am. My sleeping sucks when I’ve been drinking but not drunk. But the homeys,…

  • Saginawesome In Saginaw, Part II

    (When we left our super hero, he had returned to his hotel room to go to sleep at 4am!) Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd…I was up at 8am. Because I hate myself and because I can’t sleep in late to save my life unless I’m blackout drunk. But it was a good thing that I was awake because I…

  • Saginawesome in Saginaw, Part I

    I recently got back from Saginaw, Michigan, where I participated in (a brotha’s name and signature is even on the marriage license) the nuptials of one of my best friends and his newly minted wife. And let me tell you, I had myself a good ole time. Which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly what you think…

  • How Knowledge Just Fucked Up Coke For Me.

    Fuck knowledge, b. Do you remember the movie Renaissance Man? It’s the movie where Danny DeVito ends up teaching the slow kids at bootcamp in Michigan in hopes of making them not do the slow. Day very boring. Well one day while making them read…something…one of them asks what he’s reading and it turns out…

  • 10 Thoughts About Drake Vs. Meek Mill As We Patiently Wait For Meek To Drop A Dis Record

    1. Not only is Drake winning right now, Meek Mill is actively losing. “Baby lotion soft”? That’s the best you have? Come on Meek. These niggas churn out trash songs at an alarmingly fast clip, but we’re four days later and the best we have is some tweets from Meek and words on stage at…

  • 7 Great Reasons To Be A Petty Motherfucker

    Between Meek Mill, Cornel West, and general niggadry everywhere, pettiness is having the best week ever. Oh, and me too. Let me tell you how. So recently on Twitter, somebody that I know but barely interact with was RTd into my timeline. That’s retweeted for you old people. Which means somebody tweeted something, and somebody…

  • The Moment That Ended Sandra Bland's Life

    Life is truly a series of moments; and decisions within those moments that can alter or ultimately lead to the end of your life. I watched the entire Sandra Bland arrest video and it made me sick. And it enraged me. And it made me sad because the moment is there. The moment that led to…

  • Somebody Take Away Cornel West's Pens, Paper, Computer Passwords, Scarves, Glasses, Etc…

    I’m not a fan of Ta-Nehisi Coates. I respect the hell out of the man, but a fan? Nah. I understand, however, that many people are and I am okay with this. But me, myself, and I? We are still not a fan. It’s nothing personal. I don’t know the man nor have I ever seen him…

  • Wait…Drake Is Your For Real Pretend Boo?!

    Despite all of the relentless and hilarious mocking of one Aubrey Drake Graham, he’s really having the best 2010’s ever. He’s got hits on hits on hits, definitely has racks on racks on racks, and pretty much everything he does manages to work. Hell, I’m a fan. I even feel like I owe him an…
