Because Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is brilliant; it’s the funkiest, sleaziest, stankiest, most sonically adventurous and meticulously crafted rap album you’ll hear all year. Seriously.

The illegal immigrant is not a border problem but a business one.  And while it is fair to say the question of illegal immigration brings up all our trauma around race and xenophobia, it is also fair to say it brings out our capitalist as well.  Thus, the “problem” of illegal immigration is not merely […]

Dear Future Husband, A while ago, someone told me that the “Daddy’s Girl” stage in life is important because it has an effect on our later mating preferences. That the quality of my relationship with my father will have a bearing on my expectations for you might not be fair so I just want to […]

“Die young, but fuck it we flew first class”- Rick Ross. Nihilism in hip-hop is about as old as hip-hop itself . For years rappers have boasted about their carefree attitudes towards everything from sex, to drugs, to money.

The idea being that white people blamed so much shit on black folks, someone should create a service to make it easier […]

Who says the offseason is boring? Tomorrow marks the biggest day in the NBA season thus far (screw the Lakers). Tomorrow, July 1st is the start of the free agency period. You know what that means, all LeBron, all the time. Some of those other guys, some of the time. This free agent class is […]

I would like to “think” my world different. A life free of disease, hurt, and pain. While watching the BET awards I noticed people are still stunned by the death of Michael Jackson, (especially Chris Brown and his fake tears). But I must admit no one close to me has yet to die. I want […]

The second United States Social Forum (USSF) this past week brought around 20,000 activists into Detroit, each with his, her, or hir own unfiltered voice. Each one was amplified in the nature of convergence. The forum’s advocates are priding the event on finding the peoples’ solution to the peoples’ problems in a unique, grassroots, movement-building […]

Last week, we here on the Black Youth Project blog celebrated the life and legacy of musical genius and pioneer, Michael Joseph Jackson.
