My lady fux with that Robin Thicke joint on repeat so I can’t really h8 on dude, but this song is all about the Neptunes so much that you could put Riff Raff on this shit and it would still be smoother than silk.

Get Your Bell Rung…

Monday, September 24th, 2012

7pm, Thursday, September 27th
Schomburg Center, 515 Malcolm X Blvd., New York, NY
Click here to RSVP or call 212-491-2040

Join ImageNation Cinema Foundation and the Schomburg Center for the New York Premiere of Bell Rung: A Football Mindset. Scores of ex-players live a silent life of emotional, physical, and financial struggle resulting from their days in the professional arena, and endure lifelong struggles due to uncared for concussions.

Join moderator Michael O’Keefe of the NY Daily News, former All Pro Super Bowl champion Dorsey Levens, nuerologist Dr. Joelle Mast, director Zach Herman, producer Nick Basta and others, for a talk back following the screening.

Co-produced by Levens, Bell Rung asks the questions that need to be asked: Is it acceptable for professional football players to remain neglected by the league and owners as they confront a post-professional football life of disability and perpetual pain?

Should professional football players have to endure trauma-induced brain damage, early onset dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, often beginning well before the age of fifty and resulting in astronomical medical expenses without appropriate coverage?

Is society content to allow these former sports warriors to be cast aside and forgotten when they are no longer part of our national entertainment? Bell Rung answers these seeks the answers.

Black Divas Don’t Crack (Jokes)…

Friday, September 7th, 2012

I’m loving this webseries as the antidote to the forced minstrelsy of Vh-1s Love & Hip-Hop, Basketball Wives, et al bullshit. The name of the series is called ‘Got 2B Real’ and the shit is heeeee-fuxin’-larious.

Think about a show starring, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Diana Ross, Maya Angelou and a very special guest appearance from Whitney Houston.

This webseries is the zenith of Hot Ass Mess-ness and Wig Ownership.

SEPARATED @ BIRTH: Franklin Armstrong Swag…

Thursday, September 6th, 2012

I went with a little homegrown haircut from Chocolate Snowflake this week. Some people told me that I was channeling Kid. Nah.

Some people thought I was reminiscing on Buggin’ Out from the Spike Lee joint ‘Do The Right Thing’. Still nah.

Buggin’ Out’s twisted lock steez deserves a salute from the classic Brooklyn barbershop KiNapp on DeKalb Avenue. That is prA’Li where Spike had Giancarlo Esposito’s ‘do done.

My cut was inspired by Franklin Armstrong who was a classmate of Peppermint Patty and Marcie. Patty and Marcie were America’s first lesbian couple in mainstream media. Why else was Marcie always calling Patty ‘sir’?

Anyhoo, Franklin was my dude. He was bussed in to a school with all white kids and he didn’t trip. Franklin had a silent swag, plus Peppermint Patty held him dddddown.
