I’ve been slacking on posting new joints to my music collection, but these are the latest joints from last weekend.
They seriously don’t make music like they use to…
Once upon a time… I watched WWF wrestling, and Razor Ramon was my favorite wrestler.
Just check out his theme music and entrance, just pure dopeness with his walk to the ring and the fireworks… and I loved the whole arrogant i’m the bad guy machismo he was all about.
“Black leaders of faith should not make the mistake of using the bible to suppress the rights of the LGBT community, just as the bible was used to suppress the rights of African Americans. Throughout our nations history, again and again, the bible was cited to justify slavery and discrimination in laws against interracial marriage, there are plenty examples of this. And do we really want to stand on the side of a racist, bigoted history to substantiate our argument that African American people should be opposed to gay and lesbian and transgender, and bi sexual people?”
-Dr. Michael Eric Dyson
Dr. Michael Eric Dyson was totally on point with this, I’ve always admired Dr Dyson’s ability to articulate his points so well. I really think it’s ridiculous that these Black church leaders are speaking out against Obama’s stance on gay marriage. People seriously need to evolve, it’s 2012. I’m not gay, but I believe LGBT should have the right to marry whomever they want to marry.
Happy Born Day to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan!
Today this great man turns 79 years young and is still staying true to his mission in trying to save us. This brother is true a savior, and has played a huge roll in my life, and even though I’ve never met him, I still feel I have a relationship with him.
All Praise is due to Allah for bringing this beautiful brother to us!
Parks and Recreation Tom’s Oh no nos
“When I’m dating someone I have a list called my oh no no’s. A woman commits a oh no no, it can end the relationship. Not loving 90s r&b music is number 3 on the on no no’s list…girl doesn’t even know who Ginuwine is.”
-Tom Haverford (Aziz Ansari)
This clip is so hilarious! The acting is fantastic, I love how dude is so serious about Ginuwine, R&B music, and everybody’s reactions. I actually agree with him on it though, I have a similar Oh No No’s list, and not loving 90s R&B is on there too!
The 3rd Annual Soul Food Festival in Grand Prairie, TX
I heard about this festival on the radio the day (yep, sometimes I’ll put the radio on when I don’t feel like plugging my mp3 player in), and when they were listing the musicians performing I wasn’t completely sold until they said Tevin Campbell’s name. As soon as I heard his name I was extremely shocked, one because I grew up a huge Tevin Campbell Stan (I’m serious, not even lying), and two because I never hear his name brought up for doing any type of shows (he’s been out the mainstream limelight since 1999). Nonetheless, I’m totally stoked for this festival now, because I’ve never seen Tevin perform live, so June 16th will be a very nostalgic evening, bringing back my childhood on this one…maybe I’ll get a chance to meet him LOL…. Now I really sound like a geek haha!
P.S. It looks like a pretty dope festival, I’m sure it will be a large group of older folk, but it’s all good, looks like they’ll be good food and good music, If anybody else is going, holla at me!
