There are some people that sicken you with samples but this was immaculately done. It’s great to hear Talib and Mos still in their prime. both Jay and J. impressed me. I wanted to hear their verses just as much as the vets. Artists on the track are Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. [ READ MORE ]
Just left the movie and I was blown away. It’s amazing to see a movie that you KNOW is going to be a classic. To be able to tell our children, “I watched that movie in the theater” is a treat and a blessing. The core of the movie reminds me a lot of District [ READ MORE ]
Does being nice mean opening the door for someone else? Does it mean giving someone a piece of gum despite the fact that you may not like the person? Or maybe you didn’t want to give your last piece of gum to ANYONE. We have developed a weird interpretation of “nice.” someone came into NY [ READ MORE ]
One of my biggest pet peeves is one that is inexcusable. We are in college. This means we have all taken English, despite thosethat had to take it > 1 time. We get to college and think it’s cool to speak incorrectly. This drives me INSANE. I was having drinks with a couple friends, one [ READ MORE ]
I’d like to compare opposite ends of relationships to opposite ends of religious experiences: deism and experientialism.

One can argue all the time one has to turn in an assignment should be more than necessary. I tell those, [ READ MORE ]
Several weeks ago, my world was shaken when trying to do something positive. I’ve always wanted to be a blood donor. I felt if I could make something for free that will help someone else, I’d give it. Heck, I’ve given clean urine to a friend so I have no quarrels with giving blood. To [ READ MORE ]
I’ve been a text (or SMS depending on which side of the track you started on) junkie for quite some time now. I use more texts that minutes and it’s getting worse. Last month I used almost 2k texts and only 151 minutes (including free mins). Of all the conversations I’ve had, one stuck out [ READ MORE ]
Twitter has been one of my favorite discoveries in the past year. The great thing about it is you can’t just jump in and become an instant hit. You must work at it. Of course, there is always the competition of having the most followers amongst friends but there should be a certain quality with [ READ MORE ]
Coming out of class, I decided to walk to the student union instead of taking my motorcycle. The sun was out and beautiful so it was a pleasure. As I began the walk, I was listening to a mixtape featuring Marsha Ambrosius (songstress from the disbanded group Floetry). It was a song about how she [ READ MORE ]
