The Death of Adam

“The Death of Adam” is a new release by 88-Keys that is the absolute isht. Its a beginning to end concept album about meeting a girl, getting all biblical with her, realizing she’s a bit of a nut, and then finding out she’s having your baby. Its dark, funny, well made, and beautifully absurd at the same time. In an era when [...]

Put It In Your Queue, Shun!

The Chicago Tribune ran a piece today that immediately made me reminisce about one of my favorite documentary’s movie’s of all-time. The movie was “Hoop Dreams” and it followed the twisting paths of two 14 year old basketball players from Chicago with dreams of D1 scholarships and NBA careers. When I watched it as a kid, it [...]

Secretary of State Felicia Pearson???

Obama’s favorite show on TV – The Wire – should also provide Mr. President-Elect with a blueprint to fall back on during his first term, or at least that’s what Casey Cane-McCala thinks. In his piece on the Huffington Post, he compares Obama with Stringer, North Korea and Iran with Marlo Stansfield, and GW’s to Avon Barksdale (I completely disagree on the [...]

No Justice No Peace

Worldwide struggle, man. I saw this picture this morning and it rang my bell. Here goes a wall that cuts off Ramallah and Jerusalem and it looks like it could be in Every Ghetto, Every City, and Suburban place I been. 

The Amazing Tales of Babydick

Politics in America

I know this is a little late – and many of you got it already – but here is my tribute to politics in America through the music and comedy of some of my favorite artists.  I tried to get songs that served to move and inspire people, bring important issues to light, and make [...]

Unsafe At Any Volume

Rumpledsuitskin aka the Election Crasher aka Ralph “Mother Fucking” Nader made some news this election, and it was not of the good variety. Its never a good sign when I find myself agreeing with the schleps on Fox News…its almost apocalyptic. Peep the video below.

What the fuck??? I can understand where [...]

Telegraph to the Av North to the Deep East

I’m back. My bad. Trying to keep up with the election was enough for myself, let alone trying to pretend I know more than the next person. Whatever…we got Obama and I can remain in the States. Word.
Here goes a dope mixtape from Zion I, a group out of Oakland, CA. I’ve been listening to [...]
