Baskin-Robbins’ Ice Cream and Cake (Best Commercial Ever!)
I had a friend in college from Miami who was really into booty bass, and “Ice Cream n Cake” was one of these songs he always went around chanting. It was so infectious that I caught the bug and would randomly chant it too. That was all in fun but Baskin-Robbins managed to find the […]

Another Lauryn Hill Tease?
I’ve given up hope on Lauryn Hill’s real return to music. What hurts more is that every now and then she randomly materializes and performs, giving false hope of a comeback.

These are some of my favorite movies ever: Uptown Saturday Night 1974 This flick was unique because it was atypical of the other movies in the genre because whereas the other flicks were pretty much about down with whitey and killing, the man, this one was about two average guys […]
Blaxploitation Friday #7-Sweet Sweetback Double Feature
I didn’t do one last week so why not get a bit of a jump start, a couple of hours ahead of time? Today’s feature is a unique double feature becuase one flick is about the making of the other. It’s Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, 1971. Produced, written and directed by Melvin Van Peebles, this […]
Blaxploitation #5 – Black Caesar
Black Caesar, 1973 Plot: Foine a$$ Fred Williamson stars as Tommy Gibbs a man raised in the ghetto who grows up to become Harlem’s top kingpin. Angry at the racist society around him…
