DJ Mister Cee Opens Up About His Sexuality In New Public Service Announcement (Video)
September 17, 2013
The controversy surrounding famed NY radio host DJ Mister Cee had less to do with his sexuality than it did with him lying to himself, his family, & his fans. I believe most people will accept you for who you are if you are just honest about it, but you can’t expect the media & fans to leave you alone when you’re a very public figure who has been arrested repeatedly for soliciting male prostitutes in the news. The most powerful thing DJ Mister Cee has done up to this point is this new public service announcement encouraging people to get tested. There are many women who become at risk because guys like DJ Mister Cee choose not to be honest with their significant others in their lives. Many of us understand his reasons for not being forthcoming, but there are literally thousands of people contracting STD’s simply because their partners weren’t honest about their behavior.  At least now we can applaud DJ Mister Cee for being honest with his friends, fans, & supporters & for making the right moves to help save lives & bring about more awareness.

Comedy: Members Of U.S. Congress ‘Representing’ In Egypt (Video)
September 17, 2013
VOTE DAMMIT! Okay… no this is not going to turn into a PSA by @ojones1 (this time). This Daily Show with Jon Stewart clip is a comedy post (but watching ELECTED members of our U.S. Congress “represent” us could send me off on a rant). What’s really funniest though is the portion BEFORE the comedians (Samantha Bee, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk) come in. Just watch…

Pusha T – “Nosetalgia” feat. Kendrick Lamar (Prod. By Nottz)
September 17, 2013
We already know that Pusha T is a beast lyrically, but adding Kendrick Lamar to a Nottz produced track is nothing short of greatness for true hip hop heads. This joint right here is a cotdayam banger!! If the Virginia emcee ‘King Push’ has more bangers like “Numbers On The Boards” & this joint right here on his upcoming album then I’m sure it could wind up being a classic. Check for Pusha T’s upcoming album “My Name Is My Name” due October 8th. This joint is ill!

Contestant Lillie McCloud Stuns ‘X-Factor’ Judges And Brings Kelly Rowland To Tears (Video)
September 17, 2013
TV talent shows aren’t our usual fare on here. They seem to thrive on celebrating everything BUT talent (including Simon’s scorn and scowl). Moreover, I cannot claim any expertise in contemporary gospel music AND it may even be a bit blasphemous to say this BUT… SHIIIIID! Lillie McCloud can GET IT! And she got chops, too?! Watch this clip floating around the Interwebs showing Lillie rock that CeCe Winans song “Allabaster Box.†Age ain’t nothing but a number. And if you got her number, you are a lucky sonuva…

60 Minutes: The Legacy Of Michael Jackson (Video)
September 16, 2013
It’s been four years since Michael Jackson’s passing. The late King of Pop is the subject of the above segment on CBS television’s 60 Minutes. The expose focuses on the talent he possessed (up to the end), his material possessions (all left in the warehouse), his debt (cleared by cash from investments and sales of music and other assets); with extensive conversation with John Branca, executor of MJJ’s estate.
(Damn. Michael Jackson’s estate has made $600 million in the four years since his passing. He’s the King even after going to the hereafter!)

After 19 Years, Ice Cube Appears On ‘The Arsenio Hall Show’ (Video)
September 13, 2013
Have you been watching Arsenio Hall’s show this debut week? You should be. Every show so far has historical significance, but this one – with Ice Cube sitting on the guest couch – no doubt sent shock waves through the Hip-Hop universe. Cube promo’d his coming movie projects… dropped some names (Dr. Dre, F. Gary Gray, Kendrick Lamar) … but that’s not what the real hubbub is about. If you KNOW your Golden Era Hip-Hop history (and the lyrics that documented it) you’ll recognize Cube’s words from ‘The N!gga Ya Love To Hate’:
You know, back in the day, Arsenio passed on Ice Cube appearing/performing on his original 90s show. Think he might have taken that snub to heart? Well, nearly 20 years later, reconciliation comes with an incredible story. See, a young hot-headed Cube showed up to Arsenio’s set to give the host a piece of his mind for dissin’ the OG. He didn’t see Arsenio… but he did run into a young intern on the show who had just penned a movie script. The intern: John Singleton. His script: “Boyz In The Hood.”
Singleton convinced Cube to play the character that would become known to the world as ‘Dough Boy’ but there’s more… Cube always credits John Singleton as the man who got him to write his first screenplay (“Friday”)… and the rest is cinema (and Golden Era) history!
Arsenio has a hot show going so far. Check your local listings and check for it.
