When Drum Gang Productions sent me this beat I was immediately blown away by it’s intensity. Of course, I felt it was perfect for me, and the type of music I make, but still I was unsure how I should approach it. I knew it was special and I didn’t want to waste it. Originally […]

Your favorite (Chicago) blogger has emerged from the Chicago Blizzard of ‘011.  I know you were worried.  Had I waited any longer to leave campus last Tuesday, I would have been part of the group of lucky motorists who got stranded on Lake Shore Drive because of car accidents and snow drifts.  Yet I made […]

Today is MLK Day, and if you’re lucky, you’re chilling in bed reading this on your smartphone.  Or perhaps you’re not reading this at all.  And that’s cool.  Rosa Parks didn’t refuse to give up her seat on a bus for you to be reading blogs on your vacation day. For those who are reading […]

Wiz Khalifa generally likes to stay above the clouds. His critically acclaimed mixtape “Kush and Orange Juice” unabashedly describes his favorite recreational activity. In almost any of his music videos you can find Wiz laid back, with his eyes low sparking some green stuff. Whether he’s “waken and baken”, as he commonly tweets, or “in […]

When celebrity moose killer Sarah Palin released her “bulls-eye” map putting democratic opponents in shotgun cross hairs many people felt her rhetoric had gone totally over the top (every one of course but the Tea Party and Fox News). It was clear to see that Palin, just like most Republicans, were not just recruiting but […]

Admittedly, this blog is about a week late.  Teena Marie’s unfortunate and untimely death caused me to bump my 2011 predictions back a week.  I’m not sure if I can technically call the following statements predictions since we are already a few days into the new year.  Nonetheless, I prognosticate for you, dear audience.  I […]

I hate Election Day. For many of the reasons Summer mentioned in her brilliant post but also because it brings out the worse in some people. These are the political zealots who believe that the world will end if everyone with a pulse doesn’t manage to find their way to a poll site. They believe, […]

I’m sorry y’all but this “No Wedding, No Womb” stuff is really driving me up the wall. NFL season isn’t worth talking about until my Cowboys start winning. MLB playoffs hold no status since my Astros are…my Astros. No Wedding, No Womb has even managed to wrest my attention from the start of basketball and […]

Earlier this summer, I’d gone to my local Walgreens to satisfy a craving for peanut M&Ms.  As I stood in the candy aisle deciding just how big of a bag I should purchase, a woman and her two small children joined me in the aisle.  The mother stood there looking over the sale items as […]

We all know too well the easiest way to get on television is to either have something tragic happen or to be tragic. It is clear in almost every reality show on television from The Real Housewives Series to The Bad Girls Club to Jersey Shore that we as a world are desperate for three things more than most; for people to either fear us, feel sorry for us, or to laugh at us.

How Black People May Or May Not Use Twitter Sam Sanders, NPR | August 16, 2010 Whenever you have a news headline that starts with three words, “How,” “Black,” and “People,” someone’s bound to get upset. Not to mention the addition of a controversial illustration — the little blue Twitter bird, colored brown, holding a […]

Once again Sarah Palin has set the blogosphere on fire. This time though it wasn’t the kerosene on her tongue that set the Internet ablaze, it was the kerosene on her fingertips. This Pit-Bull With Lipstick makes ignorance looks cool. Heck, if I could receive a 1.25 million book advance for jumbling up the Bush […]
