It's official: Today's music aint for us.

I read this article a few days ago and I had to hang my head in shame and find a corner to go SADDOWN in. They write: Apparently the BET Awards aired tonight. I wasn’t at all surprised by the number of tweets that showed up on my twitter timeline criticizing today’s music for not [...]

Bad(a**) Rappers Gone Good

You know I was thinking about the state of Hip Hop these days and how much I hate listening to the radio, and a funny thought popped into my head. Who will Soulja Boy be in 10 years? What will Plies’ life look like in 15? Is it possible that Gucci Mane will leave the [...]

Music Monday: Radio Recognizes It's Role in Hop Hop Today

I was listening to the Ricky Smiley morning show the other day on my way to work and I was pleased with the conversation for that segment. I don’t listen often so I don’t know who said what or who is who, but they were discussing the recent comments made by Gladys Knight on Hip [...]

Music to my ears? Rarely

Remember this? *dances around* I used to wake up on Saturdays to the sounds of Al Green or Luther or Tina Turner and the smell of Pine Sol. Those memories about have me in tears. My mom would blast that good music while cleaning the house. I’d get up and meet her in the kitchen, [...]

Celebrating an Icon: Michael Jackson 1958-2009

Man! What a day yesterday! Nothing could have prepared me for the news that the KING OF POP had been called home. It’s funny, but I never in life thought I’d see the day. Given that he is 25 years older than me, I still always thought that Michael Jackson would never die. And I [...]

When Artists Turn To Crack

This morning on my way to work I was listening to an old Amy Winehouse CD of mine and I was just rocking out. I mean it was Me & Mr. Jones going hard in the car. As the song wound down I was thinking to myself “I wonder how the ole Brit is doing [...]

When Death Metal Happens to Black People

So how random is this? Last night I went to a Death Metal concert. My ears are still ringing. It was one hell of an experience. I Got pics, video, and stories to tell. It was quite a phenomenon. The band was awesome (I mean as awesome as I can muster) and you can check [...]

Close Encounters of the Club Kind

I know that over on FXP we had a post about what NOT to do in the club, I’m going to pretty much create my own list because I have seen it from all sides. Many know that on the weekends, I spend my time working at a club, and my experiences in that scene [...]
