An unfinished version of Kanye West’s long-awaited music video for “Monster” has finally leaked. And it is really, really fucked up. Meanwhile, M.I.A. has released a brand new mixtape to ring in the New Year, and Ms. Hill has announced a string of tour dates……

I want to live a life of service. I saw him through the bars of a Birmingham jail. He was sitting on the hard and less than comfortable cotton bed, in a room the size of a small Hyde Park apartment bathroom. His fingers were intertwined as his chin rested on the connection of his [...]

If you are like me and want to know more about the Affordable Care Act be prepared to wade through the murky waters of fact versus fiction.  Moreover, much if not all of what is heard about the Affordable Care Act has been the GOP’s advertisements and slander of the law, which as far as content is concerned amounts to noise. […]

I’ve known my daddy to leave town and stay overnight for three events: 1. His yearly trips to Las Vegas, NV, 2. My sister’s wedding, and 3. A Rick James concert in Indianapolis.  As my father recalls, I was in utero when he and my mom took that 2-hour drive south for the Rick James […]

For far too long have people been forced into silence, a silence that neither yields equality or freedom. This is the silence that conjures depression, subjugation, and ostracization.

This past Sunday the world witnessed one of the greatest comebacks ever in the history of professional football. I know I have the tendency to hyperbolize athletic events, but this was one for the ages. In just under 8 minutes Michael Vick sliced and diced the New York Giants defense to lead the Philadelphia Eagles […]

I opened my eyes and abandoned my nihilist reveries to learn that Christmas came early for many members of the LGBT community.  Last weekend, the Senate repealed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” a policy that banned gays and lesbians from openly serving in the Armed Forces.  Established in 1993, DADT was a compromise by President Clinton, […]

The following are my picks for the best albums of 2010. These records represent what I believe were the most essential statements popular music made during this bizarre and confusing year. Feel free to post your own list, tell me how brilliant these choices are, or talk as much shit as you’d like in the comments section below…

I’ll admit I haven’t been that interested in the Obama administration since the presidential campaign.  Yes, I voted this year, but that’s because I’m loyal to certain entrenched systems in the world and not because I like them.  There are just some things I don’t try to overthrow. I know this. Obama knows this. Let’s […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LVLLjZ9aY When Lebron James found out his mother and teammate were “seeing each other”, when the patriots smashed the bears last weekend, and when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMA/MTV awards show. What the common denominator is between all these instances ladies and gentleman is that they represent the breaking point. In everything this capacity for something […]

Just 3 years ago, life seemed to be over for Michael Vick. The first round draft pick who dazzled crowds with his blazing speed and cannon arm seemingly reached the nadir of his life. When defensive ends blitzed Vick, his agility and uncanny vision usually helped him evade tackles and pick up huge chunks of […]
