Movie of The Week - "Goodbye, Uncle Tom"


This movie was banned in America up until recently. If you watch the first 10 minutes, then you'll know why. This movie is directed as to be almost like a documentary about slavery, but without the watered-down shit from the textbooks. Just hardcore, good old fashioned racism and slavery to the thousandth power. This shit will make you realize how far America HASN"T come. Find it at your local African bookstore or barbershop bootlegger........

That Good X On My Level




Some of the latest from Wiz Khalifa. Be on the lookout for his debut album Rolling Papers.

Rick Ross - Devil In A New Dress

Required Reading: The Autobiography Of Malcolm X

Hands down the best book I've ever read. This is required reading. And don't tell me you've already seen the movie! Spike Lee did an exceptional job adapting this book for the big screen; however, there's no way of fitting all of the knowledge, history and life-lessons contained in these pages into a few hours of cinema. If you ask me all kids should have to read this book before they graduate high school.

DECODED

"When I first started working on this book, I told my editor that I wanted it to do three important things. The first was to make the case that hip-hop lyrics—not just my lyrics, but those of every great MC—are poetry if you look at them closely enough. The second was I wanted the book to tell a little bit of the story of my generation, to show the context for the choices we made at a violent and chaotic crossroads in recent history. And the third piece was that I wanted the book to show how hip-hop created a way to take a very specific and powerful experience and turn it into a story that everyone in the world could feel and relate to." - Jay-Z



Not a traditional auto-biography...Decoded is not only an accumulation of S. Carter's memories, opinions, and observations. It also contains lyrical breakdowns of some of Hov's most memorable songs and verses (as well as some unreleased joints). The cover is based on Andy Warhol’s 1984 “Rorschach” paintings and the book features 36 of Jay-Z's songs "decoded."
