  • A Failed Attempt at Deciphering Nirvana's Indecipherable "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

    Recently, I saw a video featuring America’s most popular and liked light-skinned dude, Blake Griffin (liked being the operative word; Terrence Howard is more popular but nobody actually likes him) helping some ne’er do well folks (Jarrett and Traci “who says ‘it’s SO gangster’ at the least gangster thing ever…I hate her) from ClevverTV interpet…

  • Donnie Trumpet and The Social Experiment's "Surf" Makes Me Really Happy

    I love Chance The Rapper. I’d be willing to argue with almost anybody that his 2013 wrecking ball, Acid Rap, is easily one of the best hip-hop albums to come out in the past 10 years. In my own estimation, only Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a better album. And I’m including Kendrick’s…

  • 10 Ways FitBit Changed My Life In Less Than A Week

    For my birthday, I was gifted a FitBit Flex. My sister came into town to visit for a week and kept going on about how she had to get her “steps” in everyday, often pacing back and forth in 5 or 10 minute spurts trying to crack her goal for the day. The idea of…

  • Eatin' Booty Like Groceries: An Analysis of An Analogy That's An Absurd Song Lyric

    I love ridiculous shit. The more ridiculous the shit, the happier I am. I totally did not intend the forthcoming pun, which is to say, that its no pun intended. You’ve got to appreciate that Mr. Cheeks-level turn of phrase right there.* The pun? Glad you asked. In Omarion’s latest hit song, “Post To Be” featuring…

  • Significant Moments In Black History That Never Really Happened Pt. 2

    Back in the days after I was a teenager and well after I had a Skypager (I never had a Skypager) I wrote about significant moments in Black history that never really happened. By no means a definitive list, it included such landmark and hallmark moments as the death of Ricky on the streets of…

  • I'm Thinking About Getting Rid Of My Physical Music Collection. Hold Me.

    I own a lot of CDs. You remember those things, don’t you? After the cassette tape and before Apple changed the music game, CDs were what was hot on the streets. I still remember my first few purchases. After seeing the movie Juice, I talked my dad into buying me Cypress Hill’s debut album. Then…

  • 5 Of The Blackest Hip-Hop Albums Ever Released

    You know how every so often the alleged literati (I say alleged because the literati meeting place [Facebook] is filled with ignoramuses of the highest order) of the Black community get into a pseudo-discussion about what constitutes a Black movie? Is it a Black movie if it has Black people, the back of Forest Whitakers neck,…

  • I Don't Know Where The Movie 'DOPE' Came From, But I'm Excited As Hell About It!

    ‘Round here, we love us some Black movies. The Blacker the movie, the greater the likelihood that I will spend copious amounts of money time on Netflix sifting through films featuring pantheon Black-movie savants like Clifton Powell, Vivica Fox, and Essence Atkins. Thing is, most of those movies suck. There’s a reason you haven’t heard of most…
