THE WIRE

One of my favorite shows on TV right now is HBO's gritty, realistic crime drama called The Wire. There is only 1 episode left to air, but it has been a 5 season roller coaster ride.

Now before I go any further if you don’t want to know how the show ends STOP READING NOW!!!!!




One of my favorite characters is a very complex brother named Omar Little. Played by Michael K. Williams, Omar is a stick-up man, a street thug with a violent streak, but one who also lives by a strict code of conduct. He never robs "civilians," instead only targeting those in the drug trade. He never really uses profanity and he goes to church at least once a month with his grandmother… The kicker here is Omar is also unashamedly gay.


See, it’s twist and turns like that, which have made The Wire….. Straight FIRE!!!

Well, Omar died suddenly and shockingly last week, Snoop meets her end this week. Marlo and the rest of the crew gets arrested. The mayor and police chiefs find out that McNulty has been lying about the homeless murders….. Ohhhh the drama.
Gotta love HBO!!!!!!

Penny is Back!!!!!

It seemed like only yesterday that a young little girl with a huge bandage on her forehead knocked on the front door and asked for J.J.

Ok I am dating myself, but I loved little Penny Gordon on Good Times. When I was in 8th grade it was Charlene DuPrey who was Todd Bridges girlfriend on Different Strokes. Then came Fame, a few episodes The Love Boat, Poetic Justice, Nutty Professor II and Why Did I Get Married.

I have rode with Janet from day one. No she is not the best singer in the world, but the girl can dance her ass off!!! Anyway Janet is back with a new album (in stores tomorrow) and it is good to see that she and MTV has made up. Of course they fell out after that Superbowl-nipple situation.

To promote the album with MTV Janet has filmed a few comedy spoofs of MTV reality shows, and they are funny.

Do You Remember?

I am going to start posting things from back in the day when something triggers my memory.

I had a conversation with a good friend yesterday. I will not put this person's name in this post becouse I want to live..... Somewhere in the conversation this friend told me that their mother stil uses TUSSY deodorant. Not solid, Not roll-on but Tussy Cream.

I didn't even know they still made it..... Now That's Old School!!!!

Train Wreck

Just when you thought TV could get no worse….. King Coon aka Flavor Flav is back for another round of Flavor Of Love.

If you have been under a rock or in jail the past few years, you are not familiar with Flav’s elimination based dating show. The crazy thing is Flavor has produced the spin-off’s I Love New York, Charm School, and has been copy cat shows like Rock of Love and One Shot at Love with Tila Tequila on MTV.

Now I told you in my last blog that I was at war with ignorant black people, and it hurt my heart to see this show, but I CAN’T TURN AWAY!!!!!! It’s like watching a train wreck… I can’t turn the station. As Flav would say: “WOWWWWWWW”

I'M AT WAR

There is so much going on in the world today…. NY Giants beat New England in the Superbowl, A woman and a BLACK man each have a serious chance to become president and lead this country.

The United States is still basically at war, but I am currently at war too…. I am at war against the IBP..... Ignorant Black People!!! I got issues with ya’ll…

This war is not just against bad grammar because if it was I’d be fighting myself from time to time too. This war is against bad reasoning, lack of common sense and those who seem to want to perpetuate the downward spiral we have been in since crack came out in the 80’s.

Basically , I’m against those who keep fuckin’ it up for everybody! I’m sorry if my language offends you, but you have to talk to certain black people a certain kinda way.

Any black person reading this who is hatin’ on Barak Obama for being too “proper” and detailed needs to go jump off a bridge…. Better yet, just walk in front of a truck.

Let’s think about it for a minute… He is running for the presidency, how you want him to act? Unorganized and ghetto? Is he ‘sposed to just go up there and freestyle a speech, and end every sentence with “ You know what I’m saying”? Get the Hell outta here.

I heard this girl at the mall talking about how good that new chocolate called Go-Diva was. I wanted to just slap the crap outta her and tell her it’s Godiva.

Then she continued talking all loud and shit… “Fuck Bill Cosby! Fuck P- Diddy and all them uppity black muhfuckas! Fuck Russell Simmons too. What the hell I look like following a nigga who do yoga and shit! Plus don’t nobody like that Phat Farm shit anyway….. Bill Cosby just mad ‘cause he old. That nigga prolly don’t even know how to do the Superman!” Stupid Ass!!!!!

There are a few prominent rappers, singers and athletes in my sights, and of course some radio personalities who need their ignorant ass whipped!!!!!!

So if you are that person who is always loud and drunk… I’m coming for you!!! That parent who curses out the teacher when you should be putting that belt on your child… I’m coming for you!!! ANY black person on Maury or Jerry Springer… Watch your back!!

Knowledge is Power……. Read A Book!!!!!

Grammy Awards 2008

Grammy night is the one night of the year that I plant myself in front of the TV and watch the madness. This years show didn’t let me down.


First of all, I am very disappointed that there was no tribute to Michael Jackson for the 25th anniversary of Thriller. This is just the album that has sold the most copies…. EVER! They said that Michael was going to make an appearance, but I didn’t see him.


The Grammy’s is basically the only night where ALL the music heavyweights are in LA. Remember the “We Are The World” song? Well that was recorded the same night after the Grammy’s. Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie told everyone to come to the studio instead of heading to the after party and lets do something for the children in Africa….. With all the talent there, some great performances should take place EVERY year.



I did see the TIME reunite and sing Jungle Love…. The original TIME with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Now what would have set the night off is if Price would have come out and played with them. See that’s the magic I want the Grammy’s to capture. What if Michael and Prince performed together??? Instead, the TIME was poisoned by Rihanna…. She don’t know nothing about Jungle Love!!!! (more about her in a minute)


Alicia Keys
Carrie Underwood
Little Timothy Mitchum – singing the Beatles “Let It Be”
Beyonce and Tina….. Like I said GREAT performances should happen every year. Kanye and Daft Punk… Priceless!!! (RIP Dr. West)
Foo Fighters
Brad Paisley
Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang
Josh Groban with Andrea Bocelli
Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and John Fogerty all gave

I am well aware that there are hundreds of awards that the recording academy has to give out, but come on….. Can you televise 1 gospel award? There were a few performances, The Clark Sisters, Bebe and Aretha, Isreal & New Breed etc, but let these artist get a little shine. Why not show 1 award from each music category?


Of course the night belonged to AMY WINEHOUSE!!!! I am now convinced that she is black. She actually sounded pretty good, but that weeble-wobble dance and her shout outs to BLAKE her husband who is locked up…. She get’s a hood card from me!!! It just shows you can’t keep a crackhead down!!!!!!



Do you think Rihanna dissed Jay?
