Chris Bosh Is ‘Hollywood As Hell’ In Beverly Hills Bosh (Video)
May 27, 2011
Last night the Miami Heat defeated the Chicago Bulls to move onto the NBA Finals. Chicago Bulls’s Joakim Noah gave the Miami Heat plenty of props but said they were ‘Hollywood’. I found that was funny, but maybe he was talking about the Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh’s acting career….

Classic Clips: Stevie Wonder Plays the Drums
May 27, 2011
No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is Stevie Wonder going “in” on the drums. Although he is mostly known for playing the keys and harmonica, Stevie was a “MONSTA” on the drums.He played most of the drums on his records, and guest featured on the drums on other artists records. Stevie and others of the like, is a constant reminder that no matter the limitation, you can still become a master of many things. Drummers get your weight up!

I respect Chuck D for many reasons from the music, as an emcee, to sports, to politics, but I never knew he was heavily into art. Check out this brief documentary from Chuck D’s website TheArtOfChuckD.com about his venture into fine art influenced by the immigration policies taking place in Arizona.

Bishop Eddie Long Settles Gay Sex Lawsuit Allegedly For $15 Million
May 26, 2011
We’re not surprised that the Atlanta mega church pastor settled out of court, but what’s surprising is the alleged amount being reported that Bishop Eddie Long settled out for. Allegedly Bishop Eddie Long’s 4 male accusers were offered $4 Million dollars, but they also demanded a public apology. It’s reported that the Bishop was not willing to offer an apology in public, but offered more money to the tune of $15 Million dollars. There’s no way in hell an innocent individual would settle out of court for that amount of money. By settling out of court it may have allowed him to save face to some of his followers, but no one in their right mind could believe that he’s truly innocent of the charges

R&B Remix: Miguel feat. Pusha T – ‘Sure Thing’ Remix
May 26, 2011
I’ve been feeling this joint from Miguel’s album & now that it’s an official single getting significant airplay it was only time before a skilled emcee would hop on it. This is an appropriate remix featuring Pusha T without any changes in the instrumentation changing the vibe of the song.
