Justice Remixed Nas??????

Ok, so who knew that Justice remixed God's Son and didn't bother to tell me???! Check my boy Xavier de Rosnay on the right! If I could get just half of this man's fashion sense!

Nas - Be a Ni**a Too

I must admit that some of this is a little uncomfortable to watch and hear, but Nas is a genius nonetheless. I guess sometimes you have to get knocked out of you comfort zone in order to see the truth through someone else's eyes. His "Untitled" album will be in stores July 15, 2008.

How the Lion King can Symbolize Slavery and it's Effects

Ok, so a couple of my friends and I were watching the Lion King last night, and about half way through the movie I realized how it can be applied to slavery and how it affected the black community. Follow me on this [assuming that you all saw the movie].....

Mufasa represents Africans and Simba represents African Americans. All was good in the beginning when Simba was set to take over the pride lands. It all started when Mufasa was murdered. Scar took the throne, the hiennahs invaded the land [the same way Africa was invaded], and Simba ran away and forgot his roots. Timone and Pumba represent the streets. Simba was now fatherless and got caught up in the streets and that made him lazy. Nala represents strong Black women. When she found Simba, she tried to talk some sense into him [as Black women often do to Black men].  After they started to fall in love Simba began to realize who he was. During the conversation with Rafiki [the bamboon who represents the older generation of African Americans], Simba was saying how his past was behind him, but Rafiki taught him that the past can still hurt. After Mufasa came to him through the clouds Simba went home [Africa] to take his place as king.

That's crazy, I know.....

Soulja Boy Responds to Ice-T

Damn! I agree with Ice-T, but he still shouldn't have came at Soulja Boy that way. Soulja Boy did make a good point when he said that Ice-T should be giving him pointers instead of dissing a 17 year old. But still, I HATE SOULJA BOY... He killed hip-hop, point blank!
