I LOVE this track. Reminds me of Kanye’s “We Major.” ‘Cept on speed. By the way, what was the deal with Lupe’s sharp increase in speed on “The Cool?” Was I the only person that noticed that homeboy was starting to sound like Twista or somebody?
Chi-Town Vibes: GLC’s Honor Me
I like this track, nice and chill. I don’t know how useful it is to make a (sub-par?) video for it, but it’s whatever. Rappers got money to spend.

A word to the wise: Don’t ever record yourself!! Ever!!!
Unreleased Nas Videos…
Ugh! Nas always stays doing something and not releasing it to the people. Damn! Why is he like the only rapper that makes it difficult for people to be his fans?? Haha, it’s whatever. I respect his swagger.
Anyways, here are links to his unreleased videos for “Unauthorized Biography of Rakim” and “These Are Our Heroes” [...]
Chrisette Michele: Unlike Any Other
I heard her on Jay-Z’s “Lost Ones” and thought, “That’s a really interesting voice.” I heard her again on Nas’ “Can’t Forget About You” and thought, “That hook sounds so old school soulful.” But it wasn’t until a friend of mine played Chrisette Michele’s album while I rode along in her car that I finally [...]
Happy MLK Jr. Day
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! On this nicely placed holiday, take a moment to think about the man and his valiant efforts to promote racial harmony. God-willing, his dream will become more and more of a reality.
He wasn’t perfect, but he did a lot…

Bob Johnson, you’se a LAME!
Dear Bob Johnson,
I don’t care if you were the first black billionaire. I don’t care that you own a basketball team. I don’t care if your primary contribution to the African-American culture was BET. I don’t care if you support Hillary Clinton (I mean, she ain’t really a bad candidate.)
I am disgusted by your comments [...]
Introduction to Ghanaian Students Internet Initiative
I’ve been mulling this over for a while. I decided that if I don’t at least try to get this project started, I’ll never do anything for it.
So if you’re still reading, I’m sure you’re wondering, what is this guy talking about? Well…
The Ghanaian Students Internet Initiative is a small project to provide computer- and [...]
Good Blogging 101… “See Color, Again”
Sometimes you’ll stumble across a blog post that completely captures your attention and sparks your mind anew. As I was surfing del.icio.us, I came across “Train Your Eyes to See Color, Again.” With a title like that, I had to click on it and see what it was about. Well, it’s a new take on [...]
Soulja Boy Tells ‘Em
Ayo, I can’t even knock Soulja Boy. He’s sixteen. He produced and released one of 2007’s most popular hits. He’s (at least for now) got fame, money, adoring teenage girls, and… he got everybody to attempt to “Superman Dat Hoe.” So although this is very, very, very late, I’m going to show you some [...]
