I’m late on this only because my 12 year old son was on a field trip with his summer camp playing football earlier this week when one of his camp counselors tackled him, fracturing two of his fingers. Me, him and wifey have been at the hospital all day getting dude’s shit splinted and wrapped [...]

The rule of the land goes: if you take police on a high speed car chase, you’re going to jail. If you’re black, you’re probably going to get billy clubbed and stomped. If you’re black and the cops are having a bad day, you’re getting billy clubbed, stomped and shot. But what happens when you’re [...]

It was 13 years ago today that A Tribe Called Quest’s penultimate album dropped. Beats, Rhymes and Life was arguably the most anticipated album from the 3 man crew but it received the coldest reception. Previously, the group seemed to amass critical acclaim with ease.

They recorded that song way before “Reasonable Doubt” dropped. Crazy how they was putting that album together, bits and pieces, and [...]

Cuz some stories just don’t go away… Larry Wilmore from the Daily Show busts down how Henry Louis Gates was ecstatic that he was arrested by a white cop in his own home. Funny Shit.

It took a little while for the whole Nas/ Kelis thing sink in for me. I don’t know how much money the god Nasir makes, but regardless, I think that 40K a month for child support is about [...]

In the late 1980’s, around the time that the grimy streets of New York City lay in stark contrast to the colorful tops of crack vials that filled them, Squeegee Man was born.
