Other Brother Co-worker: So, who’s singing the song on the Burger King commercial? Me: ??? OBCW: The new commercial for Burger King, who’s singing? Me: Oh, the O’Jays… OBCW: Ok ok, just checking. Me: Come on, champ… you know I’m going know these things. OBCW: Yeah, but I still say you’re too young to know these […]

Same Script, Different Cast

22 March 2012

My entire Facebook Newsfeed is a Trayvon Martin memorial. Everybody “likes” the page dedicated to bringing his killer to justice. For me, his death reflects the sum of my fears. We can’t win for losing. Apparently the scene of the crime is a gated community down in Florida, one that Mr. Zimmerman felt Trayvon didn’t […]

Song of the Day: Rick James “Mr. Policeman”

22 March 2012

…it wasn’t a cop in Trayvon’s case, but it was certainly the mentality… While jamming to the Street Songs album by Rick James on the way to work…  “Mr. Policeman” came on and instantly I thought the death of Trayvon Martin… a song written over 30 years ago still rings true… Hey Mr. Policeman I’ve seen […]

5 Things: I don’t get as of March 20th, 2012…

20 March 2012

No really… what? As of March 20th, 2012… around 10:00AM EST… these are 5 Things… I just don’t get… The Trayvon Martin calamity… I largely remained silent on this matter because I truly believed a headline that said “Young Kid Shot Dead By Asshole” would quickly be resolved and justice would be served… then later […]

Song of the Day: Zebra Katz feat. Njena Redd Foxxx “Ima Read’”

16 March 2012

Best thing I’ve seen and heard in a couple of weeks now… Typically, the content of this song wouldn’t be applicable for the Do Better Movement… Especially, following a post defending the KONY2012 movement…  However, the simplicity of the track, the tone and lyrics of the song has caused me to chair-bop to this on […]

5 Things: KONY 2012 Backlash

9 March 2012

Ok, I laffed too but the backlash ain’t as funny… Wednesday morning, like many folks I watched the KONY 2012 video and spread the word, as I saw fit… by that evening it had already become internet fodder for ridicule… These are the 5 things folks have complained about Invisible Children’s effort to spread awareness […]

Rest & Thanks: Jimmy Ellis of The Trammps

9 March 2012

Sang, quite possibly, the best Disco song of all-time… I remember during my early high school years… I was doing homework late one night… my mom peeped her head in my room… looked around and nodded to me confused and left… As she turned to walk to her room, my father was climbing the steps… […]

Me: BANG BANG HIP HOP GANG!!! Sri: Bang Bang Hip Hop Gang? Me: Yeah, but it doesn’t mean anything… Sri: Bang Bang… Hip Hop… Gang? Me: Don’t go around saying that… Folks will look at you crazy… because it means nothing. Sri: Ahh, so it MUST mean something! Me: No really… it doesn’t… completely random. […]

“You Can’t Be F#@king Serious!?!” News: Breitbart “Bombshell” Obama Video

8 March 2012

This???  This… is what’s going to bring the Kaing down??? THIS??? Honestly, I’m not sure where to begin… at a certain point you have to question the reality that surrounds oneself… Perhaps, myself and the few collective others I know are completely bizarre and/or warped… and quite possibly it’s the lot who contends doom is […]
