12/31: Prince – White Mansion

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

You know how when you’re a kid and you’re able to identify a song and that it belongs to a certain artist but you really don’t get it? That was my relationship with Prince for the longest time. “Purple Rain”, “When Doves Cry”, “Kiss”, “1999”, etc. all existed as I grew up but they were [[Continue Reading]]

12/30: Childish Gambino – Sweatpants

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

As much as I can go on about how amazing Because The Internet is… let me do it some more. “Sweatpants” is straight heat. Still channeling his character “The Boy”, when he says “rich kid asshole, paint me as a villain”, you believe that “Sweatpants” could only come from the mind of a spoiled rich [[Continue Reading]]

12/29: Childish Gambino – Because The Internet

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

“Freaks And Geeks” was my first exposure to Childish Gambino. Considering all the music that I was listening to in 2011, I didn’t think too much of it. Otherwise, I knew Gambino (Donald Glover) from Community. After hearing the single “Bonfire”, I was swayed enough to listen to Camp. And I loved Camp. I loved [[Continue Reading]]

12/28: Lazlo Bane – Superman

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

Scrubs is my favorite sitcom of all-time. I started watching it over 10 years ago and I devoured the early seasons on DVD prior to it returning for its 7th season. I have a folder full of music I’ve curated from the show during its run. “Superman” is the theme song to Scrubs. I didn’t [[Continue Reading]]

12/27: Whitney Houston – I’m Every Woman

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

Some things just can’t be done by a man. How well do you think this song would come off if some dude was yelling about “I’m Every Man”? It wouldn’t. Enter Whitney Houston. “I’m Every Woman” was originally recorded by Chaka Khan in 1978 but Whitney owns this song now (some would say that about [[Continue Reading]]

12/26: Brandy – Sittin’ Up In My Room

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

Waiting To Exhale is the last great movie soundtrack (that’s not Disney related). Considering it was meticulously created and curated by Babyface and then given to some of the greatest and hottest R&B acts at the time, it’s truly no surprise. The soundtrack is a perfect companion to a film about four friends going through [[Continue Reading]]

12/25: Bing Crosby – The Christmas Song

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

Even though Errick trashed this song on ILaPoW, I still love this song. And yeah, the Bing Crosby take is the best version of “The Christmas Song”. I’ve encountered all the Christmas songs. I joined my elementary school chorus in 5th grade and I never looked back, continuing to sing with different choruses, jazz singers, [[Continue Reading]]

12/24: Jay-Z – 4:44

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

One of my favorite Jay-Z songs is “Soon You’ll Understand” from his 2000 album The Dynasty: Roc La Familia (I even named my debut album after it). The reason I was drawn to it was the three stories Jay told throughout the song about his denying a relationship with his best friend’s sister, how a [[Continue Reading]]

12/23: Kanye West – Family Business

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

I was an early adopter of The College Dropout. Impressed with Kanye’s I’m Good mixtape, I snatched up the album as soon as it became available. As we all know, it became an instant classic in the legend and infamy that is Kanye West and there are several tracks that I hold dear to my [[Continue Reading]]

12/22: Bruno Mars – 24K Magic

Posted on3 April, 20187 January, 2019Leave a comment

From the first time I heard the title track, I knew Bruno’s third album 24K Magic would be something special. But I had no idea what he had in store for us. Bruno pretty much made the album I imagined myself making if I had the time, resources, talent, looks, etc. 24K Magic’s sound is [[Continue Reading]]

Quotes

He’s one of these New Negroes who think that just because he has a six figure bank account, lives in an integrated neighborhood and has white folks telling him how talented and wonderful he is all day long then surely there CAN’T be anything even resembling racism in the world.

Shoot Your Shot

Shoot Your Shot

Closing 2018, I look back at the moments where I shot my shot.

Until next time…

Not goodbye, really.

Our Dreams Pulled Up Like Weeds: Desensitized In the Information Age

Our Dreams Pulled Up Like Weeds: Desensitized In the Information Age

To be black in America is to struggle but what happens when the fight is too much to bear?

Aren’t You A Little Short For A Prequel?

Aren’t You A Little Short For A Prequel?

Some see “Solo: A Star Wars Story” as a sign of trouble for the storied franchise. I question if this is much ado about nothing or if their concerns are valid.

Do You Care About Women Or Not? Make Up Your Damn Mind.

Do You Care About Women Or Not? Make Up Your Damn Mind.

Are we just lip-servicing each other about women equality to death or are we really about making actual change?
