  • 10 Thoughts About Drake's "If You're Reading This, It's Too Late"

    1. Drake dropped an album last night. Yay.

  • How Many Different Jobs Have You Had?

    I was asked recently what I’d like to do if I could have any job I wanted. That answer usually centers somewhere around wanting to be the person who finds music for movies; a music supervisor if you will. I’ve always thought that would be a grand job for myself as it puts two things…

  • Russell Westbrook And A Black Man's Respect

    I recently saw the Vine of Russell Westbrook shooting eye daggers at Jeremy Lamb for not shaking his hand in what looks to be a timeout or some shit and it made me laugh a thousand laughs. Or maybe like ten. The number is unimportant as numbers are merely vessels to get to the point…

  • I Think Suge Knight Killed A Guy.

    I’ve been plenty mad before in life. For instance, last night while watching Scandal, I felt myself saying “what in THE fuck?” is happening here and in my life way more than I intended to.
