Writer Reflections: Trina Really Is The Baddest Bitch
Admittedly, I’ve never been a Trina fan. I was always indifferent because I just never clicked with her music enough (with the exception of a song or two). However, she has been the most consistent femcee with a major deal in the last decade as far as putting out consecutive music. I’ve discovered throughout my […]
Dear Montana Fishburne: Black Chicks Don’t Get Away With Porn
Apparently Laurence Fishburne’s daughter, Montana Fishburne, thinks doing porn will jump start her acting career. “I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape,” said Mo ‘Burne (don’t feel like typing out her whole name) according to Global Grind.

Are You Really Shocked That American Apparel Doesn’t Like You?

Stop the Sag (Lookin Like a Fool Wit Yo Pants on the Ground)
New York State Senator Eric Adams has spent $2,000 on an ad campaign to try to encourage young men to stop sagging their pants. Some men (and boys) who sag their pants do it to make an asinine fashion statement but it’s a trend that started in prison, where anyone whose pants were sagging were […]

Rest in Peace Nujabes (Sorry We’re Late)
My cousin who now lives in Japan put me on to Seba Jun nee Nujabes (get it, Jun Seba – Nujabes) when we were in college. When the idea of living in Japan was just a dream, said cousin was extremely into Japanese culture, especially their interpretation of hip-hop. Nujabes was always one of the […]
