Set It Off is a classic movie but poorly written. Before you curse me out for having the audacity to speak badly of this precious black gem…hear me out. This is why I feel this way: Read More
After almost 21 years of living in a world without the GREAT Tupac Amaru Shakur, Hollywood (The Great Powers That Be) is finally releasing a movie based on his life! “All Eyez On Me” stars Demetrius Shipp as Tupac and is directed by Benny Boom, acclaimed music video director. The film will be released on June 16, 2017 which is also Tupac’s birthday, so that’s a double dose of culture for you. Here are some things that I want to see in the film: Read More
Just a few minutes ago, QUEEN Bey made this announcement! The Carter’s are pregnant with TWINS! Congrats to them!
As far as I can remember I’ve said New Edition is the best group ever created. Simply because no other group could branch off and each member have individual success outside of the group. Name another one? I’ll wait. You may have one Justin Timberlake or Sisqo, but no one is checking for the other members solo projects. When it comes to New Edition EVERYONE shines, B. Here is a list of MY personal favorite songs by Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill, Bobby Brown, and Bell Biv DeVoe: Read More

Whew! Part Two of The New Edition Story is over and man…they sent me on a ride! Now, I consider myself to be a true New Edition historian..as I’ve collected footage of interviews, performances, music videos, etc over many years…so I thought I knew everything they had to tell. I did not! I knew all they had been telling the fans up to this point! In this movie, they’re spilling real tea and emotions that I’ve never got a chance to hear or see.
Here are a few things I learned in Part Two that I didn’t know before: Read More
Bell Biv DeVoe blessed the airwaves this morning with an AWESOME interview on Power 105.1 nationally-syndicated radio show, The Breakfast Club. As they dodged Charlamagne Tha God’s immature questions, they spilled group tea and elaborated on scenes from the film. Hearing them talk about how awful Read More
With Part One of the New Edition Miniseries down I wanted to share my thoughts!
I loved how it opened up with the DRAMA and possibly one of the lowest points of the group’s relationship. The “Home Again Tour” was the first major concert I ever went to and it was nothing short of amazing even with the hiccups. I was fortunate enough to go to one of the first shows which was when the backstage train wreck was just starting. Read More
This past Wednesday the guys from the New Edition Miniseries stopped by Sway in the Morning to talk about the film and their movement #blackboyjoy. What started out as a basic interview turned into a complete jam session! The fellas passed the mic freestyle rapping and singing all the while hyping each other up.
One thing I have noticed about the cast is that Read More
Giving Him Something He Can Feel – En Vogue
(Originally performed by: Aretha Franklin for the Sparkle (1976) Soundtrack)
The Funky Divas killed this song so well that most people haven’t heard the Aretha Franklin version. Although, I respect (no pun intended) Aretha, her version doesn’t compare to the harmonies of En Vogue. They were perfect for this record making it a timeless classic.
Lately – Jodeci
(Originally performed by: Stevie Wonder)
Back in October, Destiny’s Child started a VERIFIED Twitter and Instagram account so of course DC fans and Bey Hive members were ON IT! (Including me!) 2017 will mark their 20 year anniversary since their first single was released on Columbia Records (No, No, No Part II featuring Wyclef Jean) and it looks like we may get the reunion DC3 fans have been waiting for! Here are a few of my predictions and theories… Read More
