“I’m not really good at love advice, I have failed miserably at the whole one-one-one relationship and monogamy,” rapper Too $hort confessed. It was hours before he would continue his press day and head over to XXL Magazine’s offices to record the now infamous video clip where he gave advice to middle school boys on […]

This has got to stop… I want it said from the top of the talk, I have not come here to bash the boy Robin Thicke. It’s my understanding in the fundamentals of manhood, that you just aren’t a man until you know what it feels like to camp out on a couch in the […]

There are plenty of experts offering up their predictions on who will win this year’s Super Bowl. The casual sports fan has not been crunching stats and really isn’t as invested as the suits at ESPN, but that won’t stop them (us) from having an opinion on who will walk away with the Vince Lombardi […]

The science fiction genre has been an enduring staple in American culture.  Playing with infinite possible outcomes of humanity’s evolution (or destruction), moviegoers open their minds to visions of utopian societies, androids and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, that progressive thinking didn’t extend to people of color as most sci-fi movies in the earlier part of the […]

  When something becomes a hit in pop culture, the natural response is to make fun of it. And with billions of fans and sales around the world, it was only a matter of time before Hip-Hop got a turn. The worst part of the satire is when it gets a little confusing figuring out […]

“Ignorance is bliss” has got to be one of the most inaccurate phrases in the history of the human language. That’s probably true, right up until it’s NOT. Ignorance isn’t being stupid, that’s an inability to learn. Ignorance is what you don’t know, and the fact is that most times, what you haven’t learned will […]

Well it’s a new year. And while everyone around the world was looking forward to fresh new beginnings in 2014, some of us couldn’t resist earning a few last minute fuckery points before 2013 said sayonara. Enter ya boy D-Wade… mostly because he entered someone other than his long time former girlfriend and current fiancé […]

Illusionist David Blaine will be airing a new special on ABC, “David Blaine: Real or Magic,” in November and it will feature a star-studded roster of guests including Kanye West. Considering that Kim Kardashian’s fiance has been canceling Yeezus tour days left and right anyway, we think he should have a nice seat in the phantom zone […]

  As far as rap music is concerned, Jay Z is arguably one of the top five artists to ever do it. I would not have been able to predict this back when I heard him for the first time — on his mentor Jaz-O’s single “Hawaiian Sophie” — with his moderately mediocre rapid-fire staccato […]

By now, I’m sure we’ve all heard the story of the Trayon Christian. He’s the nineteen-year-old college kid who got bagged by the cops after buying a Ferragamo belt from Barneys last April for a whopping $350 dollars. The crime here, in my opinion, is two fold. First, that for whatever reason, be it race […]

  When comedian Joe Torry hosted Def Comedy Jam in the ’90s he punctuated his intros of each comic with the call out, “Damn, is he funny?” and a playful neck roll. It was a suitable gesture because it emphasized all that mattered when it came to the world of comedy: Will it get a laugh? […]

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Civil rights revolutionary, inspirational speaker, national treasure, martyr, leader… and the face of 2 for 1 drink specials! What’s wrong with this picture? Now it’s true, Black people have never shied away from the chance to blame it on the boogie. In fact, I’d […]
