"Because like cockroaches and taxes, Lil Kim isn't going anywhere":A Clotel Reference

This definitely has to be one of my new favorite blogs. The rant is a bit close to typical, but oh so necessary. I'm not even a feminist/womanist and I did the head nod a lot.

And there's a Clotel reference. If you don't know, go look it up. I won't even hyperlink this one for you ( it's not so much that its standard knowledge, but more that I'm lazy. While you're at it look on One Blood). Reliving my Af-Am lit course in my head.

Michelle Obama

is all sorts of fly. and cool. and amazing. and when I grow up I want to be like her. That's it. Oh I bet she could even take on Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass. And I'm a Chuck Bass fan too. Shivers.

Forget the president, can we elect "First Spouse?"

Okay, not sounding creepy anymore.

At least someone's getting publicity from Doug E. Fresh

The Doug E. Fresh dance turned into a song. Apparently she likes his Dougie.

Throwback Pop Culture Clip

I'm in a puppet mode since I saw Avenue Q last night, with some friends. We scored some pretty cool box seats and it was a much needed laugh. I've been alerted that Fraggle Rock is now becoming a movie so today's throwback is all about some of our favorite Jim Henson buddies and creations following his genius.


Go to You Tube to finish watching the episode and for many more!





and the greatest: Sesame Street!

The Only Black Kid in My Class

This is true/hilarious. The Black Power Ranger and The New Archie Comics?

This is the creators My Space, form your own conclusions (I have nothing more to say beyond good Lord, they use the N word a lot).

Music: What I'm Listening to Now

Just a few tracks. Nothing super new, but Ive neglected my music posts ( you missed my Adele obsession phase). When I stop being lazy, I'll actually make an IMEEM list. Also, apparently, Jean Grae has hung up her music hat. That made me sad and want to post. Let's show the good femcees some love, so that they dont keep running away, even if they are vulgar.

Mickey Factz and The Cool Kids: Rockin and Rollin


The Roots with Wale and Chrisette Michelle: Rising Up
The Roots: Rising Down


Karina Pasian: Sixteen at War


Janelle Monae, Many Moons (although Lettin Go will always be my fave from her)


CRS: Us Placers


SantoGold : L.E.S. Artistes


Estelle: Whatever she calls her remake of Half Pint's Substitute Lover (this deserves a real post)

Alicia Keys: Teenage Love Affair (and the dope allusion to Spike)

Throwback Pop Culture Clip

THROWBACK Thursdays are back,

why...cus I'm studying and this is obviously better.
In honor of my Sean Bell posts, here are a few old clips.
To all the people arrested yesterday, keep your head up and:




I have the actual Inner Circle music video for the song, Bad Boys which was popularized by the television show COPS. I also have a clip of COPS and of the Martin Lawrence and Will Smith film, Bad Boys. :

The Inner Circle video, Bad Boys


A Clip from FOX TV's COPS


Clip from Bad Boys II with Nelly's Tailfeather in the background, because what's more throwback:



Not exactly in the throwback category, but we all need some irony in our life. A Clip from CSA, a mockumentary on what life would be like if the Confederates won and the hit television show: Runaway:
