Darius Foster is a Republican candidate currently running for a seat in the Alabama State House. What’s odd about that? Not much, until you listen to what Foster has to say about himself. The first thing he wants you to know is that he’s not your stereotypical black Republican. For example, Foster says the last concert he attended was Lil Wayne, that he went without heat for half a winter…

By: Madam Prezident I’m not sure if we would find this surprising news, but Gucci Mane was arrested by Atlanta police on weapon and drug charges. Gucci Mane was fighting in Lenox Mall with a random dude, for a random reason. He was just on twitter–tweeting insulting things about everybody in the rap game from T.I, Drake, Lil Wayne, Waka, and even Nicki Minaj. I have a deep anger for…
Lil Wayne is a product of his environment. When your mama tells you to drop out of school, it’s hard to overcome that and become a normal person. But Wayne spoke again with Katie Couric and spilled his guts again. It’s interesting to see what kind of person he is, but with all the ignorance that comes out of his mouth, you have to wonder if he should have such…
The rapper J. Cole is one of the biggest artists in the hip-hop music industry. He also appears to be one of the most thoughtful, digging into issues that go outside of liquor, weed and women. The issue that he brought to the fore recently is the open question of whether or not he’d be as successful as he is right now if he’d had dark skin instead of light….
Reported by Britt L Model Brittany Harris was arrested Saturday night after at Cruzan Ampitheater employee found her children, aged five and three, standing alone near a black Nissan Altima in the South Florida Fairgrounds parking lot, surrounded by intoxicated adults.

by Dr. Boyce Watkins One thing that always bothered me about church are those who preach one thing and do another. It’s all too acceptable for the pastor to drop the name of Jesus to his fifth extramarital baby’s mama, or for a woman to leave her bible in the car while she’s twerking it up at the club. Don’t get me wrong, everyone has some kind of gap between…
Lil Wayne wasn’t all that eager to apologize to the black community after disrespecting Emmett Till, but when white folks came a calling, Wayne was quick to respond. Wayne was under fire for allegedly stepping on the American flag during a video shoot. But now, he’s coming right out to say that it was all a big misunderstanding and that he wasn’t trying to disrespect the flag after all. What…
The rapper Lil Wayne is finding himself in the middle of controversy, this time with the patriotic side of the American population. Video and imagery has surfaced from Wayne’s “God Bless Amerika” music video that shows him stomping and walking on top of the American flag. His lyrics show that Wayne has, possibly for good reason, become concerned about the direction of his country: “My country ‘tis of thee/ sweet…
It looks like the only way black artists and baby’s mamas can pay the bills is with reality shows. Vh-1 is becoming the biggest employer in the black community by taking outrageous black people and putting their lives on TV. Lil Wayne’s baby’s mama is the latest to get a show. Maybe this one will last for more than a season. But then again, they almost never do. Our home…
Lil Wayne is trying to get past the mess he made with the family of Emmitt Till and fans. Although he lost his deal with PepsiCo and Mountain Dew, over his inappropriate use of Emmitt Till’s memory in a rap song, Lil Wayne does not seem to be hurt financially by it, nor has his apology been deemed sufficient to the family. But now the Cash Money rapper has launched…
Is listening to Lil Wayne’s music the cause or a symptom of anti-intellectualism? That’s the question that has to be answered, according to a new study. The study used data from Facebook to figure out the average SAT scores of fans of different artists. They found that if you listen to Lil Wayne, your SAT scores are the lowest (876), and those who listen to Beyonce and TI are slightly…
by Asa Lovechild Words cannot express my sadness over the loss of Chris Kelly of the 90s group Kriss Kross. The group shaped a generation and had everyone dancing to a different rhythm and going to school with the backwards trend. Upon meeting Kelly, years ago I would have never thought that it would come to this. As an artist, it always concerns me and cuts to the core when…
In Louisiana’s Terrebonne Parish, anyone caught wearing saggy pants that expose their undergarments will be fined. Last week, the Parish Council voted 8-1 on an ordinance that effectively bans young people from wearing their pants below the waist and, in certain cases, exposing too much skin. As reported by the Houma Courier, on Wednesday, April 10, the council passed the vote and laid out the terms of the ordinance before…
