Review: Talib Kweli - Gutter Rainbows
Gutter Rainbows is my favorite kind of hip-hop. It’s smooth, so smooth that the egotistical rhymes won’t bother you. While Kweli is light on the egotistical rhymes that have overtaken hip-hop. He does make mention in “wait for you” that records sales are not going to make him. He will stay committed to his mission and wait for you: critics, buying public & peers.

Power Hour: Steven Lopez
I came across an artist named Steven Lopez on youtube. He has a series titled “After Midnight.” He paints a picture of one of the icons of soul; Jill Scott, Chaka Khan, Aretha Franklin and many more. The theme remains the same he paints, while playing one of their hits. The lyrics from the song become apart of the art. It’s an innovative approach to the process. I love the...

Remains: The Unavoidable Facebook
Facebook. I joined during the second semester of my senior year. At first it was “fun.” Reconnecting with familiar faces from my past. Then I lost interest in the site for the more inclusive Myspace. Myspace was soon overrun with kids, rumor pages, just an all around negative vibe. My current love, at the time, enjoyed facebook, so I reconnected. We spent better parts of the day...

Event: OWN Presents - Master Class
Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network began on New Year’s Day. Oprah promotes the station as a place for thoughtful television. I was present for a few of the shows that appealed to me. The one that I look forward to most is Master Class.
It features thought leaders discussing their history, successes, failures and triumphs. The first episode featured Jay-z. The video has been deleted by the...

Great Life: How to choose a wine
1. First. what do you plan on eating with this wine ?
-Chances are that will be the first question the local liquor store rep will ask. Certain wines pair better with beef, chicken, or fish.
- If you’re doubtful of this, try a wine suggested for a steak with Tilapia. Steak wines will drown the lightness of fish.
2. Second, choose a liquor store with a wide range of wines. If they...

Download: Jazmine Sullivan – I am not a robot
If you haven’t heard, Jazmine Sullivan announced she would be taking a break from the music industry. This song recently surfaced - - “I am not a robot.” While I completely understand her desire for a break. The rigors of constant touring, studio time, the lack of a “life,” for a 23 year old is a lot to handle.
The soul fans are hollering, please don’t...
