"when hip hop died, i wasnt angry on the real, go ahead let it die, my name is on the will" -Merchant of Dreams

"Closer" feat. Corinne Bailey Rae --> Corinne Bailey Rae's latest album, "The Sea" is definitely a good look!...but all the songs are not uptempo like this one, of course...FEELIN IT!...Full Version

Just a few things

Miss Virginia 2009 is Miss America 2010....23 year-old Communications major at VCU out of my hometown! Let's get it....VA STAND UP!!....yeah, She is FINE!

Serena Williams adds yet another tennis tournament title to her extensive list.  Ms. Williams won the 2010 Australian Open through some growling painful matches...I see you champ!

So yeah, I know Obama's most recent State of the Union Address seems like ages ago but I want to mention something in particular about Obama claiming that "the flood gates will open" on a supreme court decision.  Pretty much right now U.S. corporation have a loop hole to give unlimited contributions to political campaigns.

Uh oh Apple!









Wants some black history? Look around you, it is definitely happening right now!!!

Always know the past because it was a present for the future.

You can't play here, boy....

Yes, I know I am little late on this.  Shout out to my homie, Sewit,for the article.


Going back in time to....2010?  Yeah, apparently someone has created a "Whites Only" basketball league.

Seriously...NO SERIOUSLY.

That someone is former professional wrestler, Don "Moose" Lewis. He claims that "fundamental basketball" in the NBA is being now overtaken by "street ball" mainly associated with "people of color." At least he used a socially accepted term...yeah...

So apparently this man hasn't heard of Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson ect.  I honestly do not want to respond much to the article but will reference this article in which some logic is simply put. I hope this sparks conversation on what reality we still live in here in the U.S. with President Obama...
