Opening up a conversation about race and racism is never an easy task, especially in the light of the most recent natural disaster. Still, in the spirit of progress somebody has to step forward. Today, that somebody is going to have to be me. In recent NYC events, a benefit was held in Harlem in a conscious effort to raise money to provide aid to the Haiti relief fund. Hip Hop 4

Creative Asylum

2009-12-15T14:31:00.003-05:00

I find it that the most creative people are something like mad scientists. Once they enter into their element a magical transformation takes place. They become an entirely different entity that cares nothing of the outside world; they care only for the elaborate chemical experiment about to ensue. Behind closed doors, covered in an invisible cloak I’ve witnessed the

On Love..

2009-12-11T13:21:00.002-05:00

I was conversing with a friend of mine about 6 months ago and he made a statement that we were both really intrigued by. He said "Beautiful people run this world." We charted a numerical equation with that... I said, so you're implying Beauty=Power? According to Greek Mythology, Love was birthed by Poverty & Plenty (Poverty+Plenty=Love). If in our culture Money=Success & Success=Power,

Prolific Writers: A Debate?

2009-11-19T17:49:00.001-05:00

I've always been told that the greatest and most prolific writers write about what they know. A great writer has their own unique tone that is clearly distinct when you come across the written word. Almost like they are there right in front of you telling a story, they draw you in and capture your attention within the first 30 seconds your eyes roll over the page. Before you know it you

Who Is Responsible for Breaking New Artists? (This be the realest ish i ever wrote...)

2009-07-01T06:48:00.006-04:00

Who is responsible for breaking new Artists? These days hip hop DJs have gotten lazy in this aspect and seem to just follow the paper trails of every dope hustler that thinks they can rap. They take the money these wack artist hand out, play their record a few times in the club, maybe even put them on a mixtape or two, and then put their hand out for more dough as soon as next month car note

Again, much controversy is consistently thrown on the scene in blatant disrespect. Surrounding the speculation that BET will be putting together a tribute in honor of the music and legacy of Michael Jackson in which Chris Brown is speculated to perform, all I hear about is "Chris Brown's Legal Problems," and a "tainted celebration." Come on people.....GET OVER IT! I'm am sure every single one

Little to no attention is paid to the more positive contributions and steps forward that have been made and are continuing to be made every single day of our brief existence.
