How I’ll choose to remember him
Friday, June 26th, 2009Always a Thriller I’ll never forget the night. We were at the Yulfo’s house. They had videotaped the Motown 25 Anniversary special, which my parents had no interest watching when it had first aired. Judy and Uncle Dave were going on and on about the craziest dance move they had ever seen; how Billie Jean [...]
Oscar Belongs to the Slumdogs
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009I finally saw Slumdog Millionaire last night and join the chorus clamoring for Oscar victory. It’s no small feat for any movie to live up to the hype AND manage to leave an inspired audience feeling good despite a largely tragic subject. Dig the trailer, and see the movie, regardless of who wins Oscar tonight. [...]

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009One would think that on the weekend before Barack Obama made history as the first Black man sworn in as the President of the United States, hip hop legend Jay-Z and protege Young Jeezy would have had more class than to descend into a “Nigga” obsessed wasteland.

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Snap Krackle Pop Dance Instructional (original) Souljah Boy, too passe. The Twist, too old-school. The Makarana, too forgettable. Snap Krackle Pop, just right. Join the dance craze that’s sweeping the nation. From my friends at The First Family of holy hip hop, featuring DOC front man Alton Lee and his family. The First Family taught [...]
Wednesday Weekly Webcast
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Storytellas Present “The Blood is Real” From The Man, produced by Crossroads Tabernacle On Sunday, Crossroads reminded me why I appreciate them so. Hip Bop, Storytellas style, is another reason. Notice Pastor Joe on drums, and the (Alvin Ailey and Broadway) dancers. Wow. Related + Pictures from Sunday (courtesy of Pastor Joseph Henry Cortese)
Targeted Advertising
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Perhaps Myspace saw this, or just received lots of disgruntled emails from Christians subscribers. But today I noticed a different kind of advertising when I logged into Myspace. Instead of the usual underwear clad teenage girl urging me to be “naughty,” I saw this: Myspace’s targeted advertising department got the Christian part down. But the [...]
