10 Reasons I’m Excited About A Potential Jodeci Biopic
I knew this would happen. As soon as I saw how successful BET’s “The New Edition Story” was on social media, I figured that any and all media companies who’ve had biopics in development would get the greenlight and go full bore. And I am very happy to be here. According to Mr. Dalvin, a…

10 Reasons Atlanta Fans Should Rest Easy After That HORRIBLE Collapse In The Super Bowl
That collapse was epic. The loss was monumental. The choke was porn level. Atlanta ATL’d that shit. There’s really no way to sugarcoat it: If you’re a fan of the Atlanta Falcons, it sucks to be you right now. I can’t imagine what that locker room felt like after that loss last night. Tom Brady…

10 More Black People Donald Trump Might Not Know Are Dead
Donald Trump had a little Black History Month Breakfast yesterday that included a bunch of Rent-A-Homies since nobody believes Trump knows that many Black people who would willingly be seen on camera with him. Omarosa, notwithstanding. Omarosa sitchoazzdown. The most puzzling part of the entire non-sensical pseudo speech/rant was that it seems entirely possible that…

10 Reasons Donald Glover Was Right About Migos’ “Bad and Boujee”
I shall not pretend to be a big fan of Migos. In fact, I’ve spent more time being confounded by their inability to disappear into the hip-hop ether than I have enjoying their trapcoctions.

How To Make White People Uncomfortable As An Act of Grace and Mercy
It is the unfair and uneasy burden of the minority; to explain the bad behavior of some members of our communities, to the majority and apologize for their actions. You see it when there’s a terrorist attack and Muslims have to condemn other Muslims or when there’s a police shooting and Black folks are forced…

The Best Hip-Hop Tracks of 2016
A month or so ago, Panama suggested I listen to “We Did It,” a track from Lil’ Yachty’s Lil Boat “mixtape.” He said it was worth peeping because it might be the single worst rap song of all time. Because Panama is one of, like, three or four niggas I know with whom I can…

10 Unquestionable Arguments For The Existence Of God
In my intro to philosophy class, I teach arguments for the existence of God. We cover the cosmological argument (the notion that we can deduce God’s existence by looking at things like motion and causation), the teleological argument (that the logical structure of the earth and created beings point to the existence of an intelligent…
