…Others harbored concern for the album’s stylistic direction, pointing to the aforementioned, decidedly unexpected collabos as proof that Eminem may be going “pop.” Of course, this sentiment is absurd.How can anyone consider an artist who literally sold more albums than anybody else this past decade, and put out two diamond albums (The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show have each sold 10 million copies) in a row, to be anything but pop?

They say this subject is getting old… “Mike Huckabee compared homosexuality to necrophilia and his conservative mindset is what keeps our minds captured in cages scattered with landmines of inequality, And those mines blow up in the minds of children as they breed their judgmental thoughts while spreading them to their off-spring, your like a […]

This week I had the opportunity to speak at Spelman College’s 8th Annual Seven Women at the Cross. For those who are not familiar with Seven Women at the Cross Services it is a time when women preachers and speakers recount the last seven days of Christ living on Earth through the stories of the […]
