Thank God The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Isn't Being Rebooted
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air may be my favorite television show of all time. Yes, I liked it even more than The Wire, Law & Order: SVU, and Unsolved Mysteries. I loved A Different World, and liked The Cosby Show Family Matters, but I was all about Fresh Prince. So when “news” broke that the…

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…

7 Great Reasons To Be A Petty Motherfucker
Between Meek Mill, Cornel West, and general niggadry everywhere, pettiness is having the best week ever. Oh, and me too. Let me tell you how. So recently on Twitter, somebody that I know but barely interact with was RTd into my timeline. That’s retweeted for you old people. Which means somebody tweeted something, and somebody…

The Moment That Ended Sandra Bland's Life
Life is truly a series of moments; and decisions within those moments that can alter or ultimately lead to the end of your life. I watched the entire Sandra Bland arrest video and it made me sick. And it enraged me. And it made me sad because the moment is there. The moment that led to…

Wait…Drake Is Your For Real Pretend Boo?!
Despite all of the relentless and hilarious mocking of one Aubrey Drake Graham, he’s really having the best 2010’s ever. He’s got hits on hits on hits, definitely has racks on racks on racks, and pretty much everything he does manages to work. Hell, I’m a fan. I even feel like I owe him an…

Did Warren G. Get Robbed By His Homies On "Regulate"?
I was perusing the rap blogs and came across a new song by Warren G. featuring Nate Dogg called “My House”, which is presumably on his new album Regulate…The G-Funk Era 2. As you’d expect, the song is trash, but you weren’t ever going to listen to it anyway as you’ve probably not listened to anything…

10 Thoughts On Rihanna's "BBHMM" Video
1. Hmm. Okay. That was…something. 2. I know I’m late to the movie Gone Girl, and I realize its had a bit of a resurgence here on VSB as of late, but between this video and that movie…if we’re getting a look into the psyche of pissed off women, I’m off the boat, yo. I’m…

7 (ish) Of The Greatest White Saviors To Ever Have Done It
One of my favorite tropes is the white savior, especially in movies. You know this person, mostly because they’re white and they come in and do the types of stuff that white people with money and time* do: save coloreds. Well, pop culture and movies have been littered with tremendous examples of the white savior.…
