This video was wicked...
...another wicked video...this time watch a very young T.I. crank it on the yard (please pay attention at the 2:05 min mark). Plus, peep cameos from J.D. and Pharell among others. Good times.

THE QUINTESSENTIAL LOVE SONG: Lupe Fiasco - 'PARIS, TOKYO'
Okay, so I really love Lupe Fiasco. And, this song makes me all giddy inside. I'm happy to see the storyline features the same girl throughout the entire video. Like, finally, a real love interest. I mean don't you get tired of so-called rap "love" songs that feature a different video chic in each verse? Thanks Lupe. That's why I hail you as one of the greatest contemporary MC's!
HOW REFRESHING: KARINA PASIAN (16 @ WAR)
Karina Pasian, a 16 year-old Dominican songstress, was recently signed to Def Jam Records. Discovered by none other than the legendary Quincy Jones, Karina Pasian is at the top of her game.
With wisdom that far surpasses her years, she is certain to be a voice for young girls across the globe. Her song, 16 @ War, is like a breath of fresh air. Finally some lyrics with substance... pay attention young chickenheads and shakerbooties.
Her debut album is in stores June 3rd, 2008.

"For Sale By the Pound": Wenches and Stallions
...and my question is, have we really come much further than this? On the auction block(s) of BET and MTV bustin' it open, and in the words of ol' massa himself, 'no syphilis and their balls bustin with seed.'
This is black (noir) mania at its finest. For more info on this 'shockumentary' from the blaxploitation era click here:Goodbye Uncle Tom

Diaspora: City of Men Trailer
Since there are more black people in Brasil than in the United States of America (by way of the Atlantic Slave Trade), I thought I would post the sequel trailer to the cult-classic City of God. I can't get enough of this story line. This hood sh*t is so global. What can I say? The plight of our people is too real...especially for black boys coming of age. ciao for now.

THE POWER OF BLACK
Say what you will about Madame C.J. Walker. She was making it rain early.
Known as one of the richest African-American women until her death in 1919, Madame C.J. Walker built an empire by developing hair products for black women.
Nowadays, we can't even find a beauty supply store owned by a black family, moreless a black owned and operated hair care system or laboratory.
Perhaps, the past can be inspiration for our future. No offense to our Asian sisters and brothers, but can we afford to allow Koreans and other Asian-Americans to maintain a monopoly in a billion dollar industry? Dollars we spend in beauty supply stores should be invested back into our own black neighborhoods and communities. Sorry for the soap-box rant.
