T. Pain aka “Teddy Pain”, aka “Nappy Boy”, aka “Teddy Pinned her ass down”, aka Tallahassee Hero” can now add another nickname to his litany of monikers- “Teddy Tool”. Although Mr. Autotune (another alias) has been able to trick millions of people into actually thinking he can sing, he was still duped by the sly […]

The other night, some friends and I were hanging out in a hotel room listening to music.  At some point, the Eric Benet song “Ghetto Girl” featuring Meshell Ndegocello (dude, I know. I assure you that it was not my iPod. I’m not saying I don’t have the album, I’m just saying it ain’t on […]

Though I am ostensibly a U.S. Citizen (some days it feels tenuous as hell), I also have a Crunchy Nation green card, which means my Twitter feed was full of earth mother goddesses, headwraps, and the like drooling over Erykah Badu’s new video for “Window Seat,” the lead single from her album, New Amerykah Part […]

So far I have been having a wonderful spring break. I got to see two plays (The Illusion and Rent), went to a comedy club last night and saw Robert Hines (hilarious), and best of all, I got to observe one of the greatest political moments in this country since I became old enough to […]

On Friday night, in the basement of a local church next door to my high school, young people (including myself) gathered together in a positive environment in protest of the violence against women and children around the world. OPRF high school’s Students for Peace and Justice organization rallied students to participate by performing songs and […]

“And the crowd goes wild! Sort of.  It looks like the Donkeys have taken the lead. However, you can never underestimate those scrappy Elephants.

Thus it isn’t a surprise Gabourey can’t find anyone in the […]

I am surprised more and more each day at the growth of a small clique that bonds over their ruthless habit they’ve taken up before and after school, during lunch and at all other times they can manage to sneak away for a cigarette. In full view of my high school’s main entrance, a large […]

I was sad to see Spitzer go, but I was still excited about you in office. I didn’t know much about you, but I have to admit the black and blind thing made you kind of interesting. My thoughts–a man with that much handicap must be good or at least have some progressive ideas. Spitzer […]

So as it stands, Love & War is more than a respectable debut for Merriweather. It may not separate him from the pack the way a truly classic release would, but it’s impossible not to at least like.

Last week a student was arrested in the reg. So clearly if a person is arrested in this beautiful post-racial, progressive, and inclusive society, then it must be some just cause. Right? Witnesses say that this 5’6 black senior at University of Chicago was “wrestled to the ground and put in a headlock.” This must mean […]
