  • Jagged Edge Is Better Than 112. Here's Why.

    Nobody asked me but I’m telling you right now: Jagged Edge is and was a better singing group than 112. Most people will disagree with this. Most people will be wrong. I know this to be fact because I’ve seen Twitter arguments on this topic and I myself started a FB debate where I’m pretty…

  • I Love Boobs And You Love Boobs…So Why Can't We Love Boobs Together?

    You know what’s great? Boobs. Do you know how I know they’re great? Because nearly everybody loves them. Men love them. They make us happy. Women love them? They are orbs worthy of appreciation. Everybody can appreciate curves it seems. Even kids love them. They remind them of pillows. And who doesn’t love pillows? Have…

  • Baltimore.

    You don’t live in Washington, DC, for as long as I have and not have an opinion on Baltimore. While it’s only about 40 miles north of DC, Baltimore and the federal city are worlds apart, at least in perception. Though I’ve been a resident of the urea for almost 14 years, my impression of…

  • A List Of People I Apparently Look Like

    Now this ain’t funny so don’t you dare laugh but apparently I’m a “motherfucker you lightskinneded” doppelganger to the stars. All my life I had to fight…off the accusations that I look like a varying number of famous to pseudo-famous people. I’d like to say that its flattering but there really aren’t any rewards for…

  • On Getting Older And Being in Weddings

    In a few months, I’m going to be the best man in one of my best friend’s weddings. This means that I’m taking on the responsibility for the bachelor party and making sure that stuff gets done on the groomsmen end in terms of tuxedo fittings, hotel arrangements, etc. This is a new experience for…

  • Stop Me If You've Heard This Before: Cop Shoots and Kills Unarmed Black Man…

    At this point it isn’t even a broken record. It’s more like a Vine that’s been shared around by every single person that you know, who has then shared it with every person that they know. It’s a Vine so ubiquitous that you don’t even need to see it to know what happens. Because you’ve…

  • My Son, A Future Morehouse Man, Will Be A Rapper. At Least For A While.

    Be that as it may, I appreciate all of the emails, texts, comments on both VSB and social media. As Tupac said to his mother – it was hard hugging on her from a jail cell – you are appreciated. My beautiful son and his mommy are doing just fine and swell. Young Homey (another of…

  • The Empire Season Finale Was Fuckin' Fantastic

    Much like the rest of America, last night I tuned into the season finale of Empire, the show that has been kickin’ ass and takin’ names since it debuted in January. It’s so popular now that local news shows were doing stories on Empire wach parties. That really happened. My guitar gently weeps for civilized…

  • Chance The Rapper Might Be The Pettiest Dude Of All Time.

    Petty dudes have been having a field day lately. First, Big Sean dropped “IDFWU”, a nod to his now defunct relationship with Glee actress Naya Rivera, which at the time felt like the apex of pettiness in song form. It was almost an excercise in abject immaturity with its repeated musings of “I don’t give…

  • 10 Thoughts On Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly

    Like the seemingly millions of folks who were waiting to see what Kendrick would bring to the table – and he essentially brought the whole table to the table – as soon I saw that the album was available I went straight to my computer to pay for the album and to upload it on…
