So, Sanaa Lathan Has A Thing For a Cokeboy. Good For Her.
A few days ago, the internet, especially the Black quarters were aflame with disbelief and WTFness at the news that, yes, Sanaa Lathan was indeed dating Karim Kharbouch, aka French Montana. HAAANH! The jokes only flew from there with people questioning why such a refined, educated, well-to-do woman would date such an opposites attract specimen…

How I Discovered And Fell In Love With Phyllis Hyman
I remember the first time I heard a Phyllis Hyman song. This was in March 2006 at my boy Tim’s condo. He’d turned his second bedroom into a makeshift studio and we did a lot of writing and producing in that room. At the time, he was the producer and I was just learning the…

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Season 2: Episode 2 Recap
Our favorite dirty rotten scoundrels from Hollywood are back for another fun-filled episode of shenanigans and nincompoopery. Honestly, this episode was pretty boring by industry standards. Nary a drink was thrown though the drinks will definitely fly soon as we are treated to the wonderful world of Soulja Boy and Nia, who, if you’ll remember,…

This Shaun King Takedown Attempt Is Fuckin' Ridiculous
I’m so appalled. Over the past few days, conservative, right-wing people and sites like Glen Bleck, Breitbart, and The Blaze (amongst others) have accused Shaun King, an activist who gained significant attention after his in-depth analyses and social media campaign in the wake of the killing of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in August of…

Saginawesome In Saginaw, Part III
(This part is going to be mad shorter. I’ve run out of steam and real talk, the last day was the wedding. And honestly, I’m only really tallying all of the drinking that was done, for historical purposes.) Back up at 9am. My sleeping sucks when I’ve been drinking but not drunk. But the homeys,…

Saginawesome In Saginaw, Part II
(When we left our super hero, he had returned to his hotel room to go to sleep at 4am!) Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd…I was up at 8am. Because I hate myself and because I can’t sleep in late to save my life unless I’m blackout drunk. But it was a good thing that I was awake because I…

Saginawesome in Saginaw, Part I
I recently got back from Saginaw, Michigan, where I participated in (a brotha’s name and signature is even on the marriage license) the nuptials of one of my best friends and his newly minted wife. And let me tell you, I had myself a good ole time. Which, let’s be real, isn’t exactly what you think…
