“Thelonious Hands…”

In the grand scheme of things, I’d love to go down as one of the greatest documentary filmers this culture has ever witnessed. Will I get there or not remains to be seen. However, the ability to craft a story through film and words has always intrigued me, so whenever a quality piece presents itself,...

“Danny Duberstein Is Good At Two Things…”

With Dave Chappelle skateboarding through farmland somewheres in Ohio, J.B. Smoove might be the jester king ruling quietly in TV-land.

“A Man Must Have A Code…”

Nat King Cole’s sugar-swirled songs echo through Walmart walkways lined with stockings and ornaments.  Price-drops of epic proportions are slated for a Friday after Thanksgiving that is sure to leave at least one Midwesterner trampled to death. It’s with these staples the holiday season...

Bye, Bye Boosie

Capone-N-Noreaga preached about parole violations over a decade ago but since the South came to power, most of the older classics don’t even matter anymore. It’s disheartening, disappointing and any other word you can think of to attach the “dis” prefix to see this go down.

Video: Amerie Performs “Heard ‘Em All” On Jimmy Kimmel Live

I was up late working last night & Amerie popped up to perform on Jimmy Kimmel. You know what happened. Mesmerized by the legs. But not just the legs because even her backup dancers were gyrating & gettin’ it in, dry-humping the ground

Man, listen. If Saturday morning cartoons weren’t a fixture in your childhood, I wholeheartedly apologize on behalf of America.

Phil Ivey Is Baller Status

Poker superstar Phil Ivey is the embodiment of recession-proof. Not that I would suggest him to start a rap career, but he sure can back up the exaggerated wealth aspect. Coincidentally, his manager is Chris “Gotti” Lorenzo (Irv Gotti’s brother) but I doubt he’ll be grabbing...

Precious

Man listen. I’m going to watch this movie. And you know what? You probably should too. Initially, when the girls over at RBN tried to put me on to it, I kinda hit the snooze button and rolled over. My initial thoughts were all negative. Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry? Give me a break and a damn...
